The Wiggles have issued a statement distancing themselves from a controversial TikTok video featuring two of its members set to a song about ecstasy. Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and his nephew Dominic Field, known as the Tree of Wisdom, appeared in a now-deleted video posted by singer Keli Holiday, which used the song 'Ecstasy'.
The video, recorded during last week's TikTok awards in Sydney, showed the Fields dancing behind Holiday as the song played, including the lyrics: 'Hey girl, come on dance with me/you and your pocket full of ecstasy'. The Wiggles said they were unaware the footage would be used in this manner.
A spokesperson for the group said: 'The Wiggles do not support or condone the use of drugs in any form. The content being shared was not created or approved by us, and we have asked for it to be removed.' The statement added that while Holiday is a friend, the video and music were created independently.
The incident drew criticism from child psychologists, who described it as a 'lapse of judgment'. The Wiggles stressed that their performance at the awards was family-friendly and that the video was edited without their knowledge.
