Just because someone gave you a leg up doesn't mean they are entitled to your success for the rest of your life especially if you treat them badly along the way
She’s not asking for part of their success just to visit her show appreciation for the opportunities she gave them. Those girls would have NO recognition without her
They can atleast say thankyou, thats what she means
@@katzpaw222 without the SHOW* THE SHOW made them famous, not Abby.
Not to mention Abby was abusive towards them, they have every single right to reject her. Stop trying to defend this woman lmao.
@@arachnidlupus7625 but it was Abby’s training that made them the dancer there were that let them get on the show
@@showjumpingqueen8111 The girls actually never auditioned for the show (in terms of dancing), which has been confirmed by Abby herself. They were interviewed by the producers alongside their moms and were chosen based on their chemistry and personalities, therefore Abby's training/studio/staff had nothing to do with the girls getting on the show.
This woman finds a way to make every problem about her.
About her and money 😂😂😂😂
No she doesn’t
@@nzkid2599 cool 🤷🏻♀️ your opinion
When you have gone through what she has then maybe you can speak.
I’m not saying it was ok how she was sometimes…..but…she had a show which she couldn’t get out of because she signed a bad contract…then the mothers were always arguing with each other…..mega jealousy of each other’s children,
…producers giving her dances which she didn’t want….then teaching….couldn’t have been easy….however, did I always like her method…no…was there drama exaggeration for the show…I’m sure
@@johnborg7904 I get all of that, but she still obsesses over it and doesn't move forward. Always bringing up Jojo, always talking about "these kids are famous because of me" and still trying to get fame or money out of the families. It isn't healthy. It happened. Move on. You can't change what's happened. Only use it to make you a less bitter and better person. Which she is not doing.
Why do they ask every question but the one I feel like needs to be asked: Do you have any regrets on your comments about Chloe and her appearance that made her leave your studio. Nobody deserved that kind of bullying and I still think it’s crazy how the producers were so quick to edit the comment out of the show to try to “save” Abby in a way.
Abby is always quick to say “those girls don’t appreciate me” but is clearly forgetting the comments she’s made about them over the years that I’m sure have damaged their confidence one way or another.
THIS.
Chloe was no longer a student when that happened. She only came to film.the show.
It does not make Abby’s comment okay.
@@dancer4life273 yeah a 13 year old girl was forced against her will to be in a room with a woman 4x her size and age who bullied the daylights out of her everyday that led to the eye comment. a 13 year old. abby’s fault 100%
She has said personally on her channel that nothing she ever said on the show made her lose sleep at night. She feels no remorse for any comment she’s made on physical appearances about literal children. Also it’s pretty disgusting how much people still blindly support her bc on her channel she seems so nice and caring about the past.
She's such a toxic person. It's not surprising the kids and their families distanced themselves from her. She was emotionally abusive and still is. Their careers superseded hers and now she's alone and bitter. I think she's needs some self reflection.
Those girls would not be recognized AT ALL without her. She was insanely tough on them but you can’t say she didn’t teach them how to work their asses off and put on the best performance they could. The show would get nasty but that usually happens in kids sports with parents.
Super toxic. Shame on ET for giving this monster a platform.
@@katzpaw222 mainly it’s the show that made ALL OF THEM STARS ⭐️
@@katzpaw222 she abused those children
@@JoyOgbatue true, I can’t blame them all for not wanting anything to do with her. But Abby did help promote Maddie, Melissa knew this and took every opportunity she could get even if it meant going against other people just because she didn’t want to break that connection with Abby as she was bettering her child, Melissa took everything right up until she didn’t need to anymore because her daughter had made it and didn’t need that help anymore. Melissa used abby and that’s what I think she’s getting at here. I’m not justifying her behaviour by all means especially to Chloe, Paige etc, but from Melissa and her kids side of things I do think a little mention and contact now and again wouldn’t go a miss, if jojo can show gratitude I struggle to see why they show little to none. Just my opinion
Abby bullied little girls for 7 years. I don’t blame the moms and the daughters for distancing themselves from Abby. Those girls put up with years of bullying. Working through those unkind words in adulthood. Abby is not responsible for their success. Abby is playing the victim.
A work for nothing
It was all the producers.
@@MWEwrestlingMFLfootball and abby not everything was all on the producers
@@MWEwrestlingMFLfootball It was not the producers. She was worse off camera than on. Where were the producers after filming? Nowhere around her!
@@MWEwrestlingMFLfootball it was not there were times Abby said horrible stuff to them and the producers tried to give the girls gifts etc cs it was that bad! She said a racist thing to nia and that same week they were gifted iPads.
They owe Abby nothing! There's a reason why ppl don't want to continue a relationship with her...
They own Abby everything nia should she’s be nothing without Abby
@@Amandamarie0701 NIA VISITED YOU IN THE HOSPITAL ABBY BUT YOU TURNED HER AWAY!
@@Amandamarie0701 - No, No, No. Abby Owes everything to the talent of the children she worked with, she would be nothing without them. They made HER famous. Abby is so entitled and a horrible bully. Nobody wants anything to do with that piece of human garbage.
@@Amandamarie0701 They owe her nothing they paid her to teach them remember that Nia would’ve been better off without Abby because a lot of people wanted to work with her everybody wanted to work with a Nia but she stayed with Abby only because of her contract everybody stayed because of a contract remember that
@@ianhomoo1118 without the show no one would have wanted to work with her she was the worst dancer on the show
The amount of gaslighting and manipulation in this video is INSANE…
Literally its insane to believe that people actually believe Her 🙄
That's what narcissists do.
After her making fun of Chole’s eye and racist comment towards Nia and Cameron ? They don’t owe her sh*t
What did she say ?
@@lexkanyima2195 she talked about how “ugly” Nia’s hair was
@@gigiraven only of her hair ?
@@lexkanyima2195 only? That’s bad enough but she did say lots more
@@lexkanyima2195 she commented on how kelanhi(can’t spell) danced more African American then nia in a duet they had
She is clearly abusive. Those kids grew up and realized what she was doing to them and they finally decided to walk away from her. I'm glad especially Maddie broke away and has a loving relationship with her sister now. Something Abby tried to prevent
Then why they didn't have a reunion ?
@@lexkanyima2195 What?
@@lexkanyima2195 ?? The original girls? Cause they literally have multiple times 💀…
THIS!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you all know this woman personally, but you don't you know what you see on a scripted television show smh
All of this boils down to the fact the girls made more money than she did and she fucked up. Point blank period. Never mind her racist moments or body shaming or straight up humiliation. Girl bye
You’re 100% Correct.
She was trying to leech off them. That’s why she took 10% of whatever money they made. But she messed that all up.
If she were smart she could have lived through them all and made hella money off all of them by getting them ALL great opportunities and using their strengths to her advantage. If Abby broadcasted their strengths on the show the same exact way she did with Maddie I’m sure more influential people in showbiz would have come knocking for the girls the same way Sia did with Maddie. If Abby were an actual kind, loving, and supportive teacher she’d still have them all in her life too, hell some of them might probably even help take care of her. But no, she put all her eggs in one basket like a moron and treated them all like garbage and look at her now…
Lonely, Miserable, and Broke…
Even the child she put all her support into wants nothing to do with her lmao.
You can tell she’s not the smart business savvy entrepreneur lady she pretends to be lol. It’s why her business was failing before the show and failed after it. She can’t manage her money and it’s evident in the way she absolutely FUMBLED the bag with those girls. Pretty much ALL of her girls had star quality in SOME way even if it wasn’t always 100% dancing. Brooke, Chloe, and Maddie were the best and most technically sound dancers on the team and they could have gone somewhere with that, Brooke could have definitely been a rhythmic gymnast or gone to do something with Cirque. Both Chloe and Maddie got to dance in music videos and movies and could have done that with Abby behind them too. Maddie did so on a bigger scale (and Chloe could have too if Abby cared about her success) but Maddie left Abby behind bc Abby started treating her and her mother Melissa badly.
Paige could have been a “darling actress” (words taken straight from Abby’s own mouth) or even a model or both. Kendall could have also been a model. Nia could literally sing and her performances/music videos were always dope, especially with her less technical but cool dancing. Mackenzie could also sing and do gymnastics. And what’s great is that even with their different paths they’d all still have dancing as a useful skill under their belt that could be helpful in their careers due to Abby… she could have made BANK off of ALL of them If she played her cards right bc you can tell she cared a lot about money. She could have used all those connections she was always bragging about lmao.
If she was actually a nice, loving teacher who truly helped the girls and wanted them to succeed, I’m sure the moms wouldn’t have minded her getting a cut of the profits for her helping their children be stars.
EXACTLY!!
Also… he created the show because of the moms at the studio. It was originally supposed to be like toddlers and tiaras and follow one kid and their mother around each week, but the producers noticed that all the moms they wanted were at the same studio so they centered it around them and their girls. The idea of having Abby be the main teacher came after they started filming. It did NOT start with her.
They wanted a studio in California, but the performing arts school pulled out when they found out that their kids couldn't train in their classes. Actually the producer went a different way because of Abby.
Exactly Abby didn't have nothing to do with it because Christi Lukasiak already said it was her that seen it in the newspaper about them wanted to do a reality show about dancers and there moms so she went to the other moms about it to see if they were interested in do so. Abby always trying to take credit for everything so sick of it. P.s The kids already thanked the show as a whole so don't understand why she complaining about it. The kids have moved on and there not going to look back just because she's having a pity party time for her to get over it and realize she burned the bridge down. She didn't care about how she was treating them knowing good and well she would live to regret it so it's no need for her to acted like she doesn't know why they refuse to turn back and pay her some attention.
That’s why Christi yelled at Abby in a clip saying “IF IT WASNT FOR ALL OF US”
Abby still the one who pick the moms
@@Mean.Devil77787 abby didn’t pick the moms the producers sat down and interviewed 30 families and they picked the ones they liked
Nia and Holly both reached out to Abby while she was in the hospital and Abby ignored them... like did she even forget about that?? lmao she is sooo narcissistic, toxic and abusive.
Exactly how soon she forgets. Always playing the victim.
They back stabs her when they were on the show if I was Abby I do the same thing holly is a witch and so is nia
@@Amandamarie0701 so then don’t complain about them not reaching out to you
@@Amandamarie0701 NIA VISITED ABBY IN THE HOSPITAL BUT ABBY TURNED HER AWAY!
@@iwillwh00pyoa52 I would too if people back stabbed me like they back stabbed her
Most of the girls have anxiety after working with her, some lost her love for dancing because of Abby, she was abusive, put the girls against each other and they thought they weren't good enough, she also took away so much job opportunities because she didn't want them to shine and lose control over them, she said or did racist things to Nia. The show give them a plataform but they achieve the fame because the personality and talent, they don't own her anything, Abby already gain money with the show.
Exactly it's funny how she won't take responsibility for nothing the girls has been through and now she mad because they shut her out. She also told them that if they didn't want her to be part of their life it was fine but now its not fine go figure. Plus some of them came to see her at the hospital but she turned them away and now she wants them now to see her. They are not going to play her mind games anymore. P.s Also no child should've seen her in jail because that's not a place a child should see if it's not their mom or dad in jail.
nearly all of the girls had panic attacks and fits FILMED on camera and nothing was ever done about it! half these girls were put in the spotlight since they were babies against their will. they were ruthlessly bullied and judged against on camera. no amount of money and fame fixes childhood trauma. i wouldnt want anything to do with abby either
Parents fault !
@@hiphopdreamz1044 it’s Abbys fault no excuses
@@jennaebradshaw1308 to be fair their parents should’ve known better it’s Abby‘s fault but their parents also take some blame for keeping them there.
She was so abusive to the kids and their parents. She is awful. I do not think anybody cares.
It was a show !! She was made to be like that by the producers…. Please take a seat and maybe do some research before spewing your verbal diarrhea
@@Moistme69 the kids and parents talk about the abuse they went through so maybe you should do your own research on their interviews, books, and youtube videos about it.
@@Moistme69 Abby told Chloé to fix her eye because it was ugly. Abby told Adriana “I knew you grew up in the hood with a box of 8 crayons, I grew up in the country club with a box of 64; don’t be stupid.” Those are sick comments that Abby made that the producers TRIED TO HIDE because they wanted to protect Abby.
@@chloelukasiakcontent not true but continue
@@Moistme69 How tf is it not true? The people who she said these things to have confirmed it.
So it's ok to be toxic and hurtful to children as long as they get a bigger house.......got it
The ungrateful one here is Abby. These girls grew up and realized what abuse looked like and that’s why they are the way they are. Are they always going to be grateful for the show? Of course. It made them into the stars they are today. But even before the show Abby was problematic.
Thank you! Abby was problematic before the show and I wish people realized this instead of acting like she was so sweet before. She may have been a bit more mild but she still wasn’t a great teacher. The fame and stuff from the show got to her head and only showed her true colors.
@@corimoon3360 ouch
My dance teacher worked on the west end as a professional dancer for fifteen years before she was a dance teacher. She was strict and whipped us into shape but she wasn't an abusive person. She was absolutely a better dance teacher than Abbey. She taught us to be competitive but respectful and she taught us that we were a team not that we were against each other. I went more the music route but most of the girls I danced with back then are on Broadway now, and they didn't need a reality tv show to get there. They're famous for putting up with you Abbey not because you taught them to dance so well how arrogant can you be? She went through chemo as well and wasn't awful to anyone ever
You got caught playing favorites. Ring leader to outlandish behavior... They played their part and glad they got paid.
not only that but she admitted to it multiple times as if it was normal
Abby treated those kids terribly - what would she expect she made them cry every week
this woman traumatized children for her own ego!!! she was terrible to them. especially Chloe and Nia, she needs to find her peace because she’s still suffering it seems
This is laughable considering how she treated everyone. Maybe that should be a wake up call hunnie.
Here’s what bothers me. JoJo is one of the sweetest people on Earth. She is pretty much the only student of Abby’s who voluntarily publicly gives her credit for what she has done for her. JoJo’s fans were literally asking her why she wasn’t at the KCA’s and she responded to them and let them know the reason. And even after all she’s done for Abby as well, Abby’s response was, “I wish she didn’t air all that, I would’ve done something else that night.” I understand the second half of the statement, because JoJo’s not the kind of person to sit around and mope, she’s always going to make the most of something, but why would you teach her about honesty and then tell her not to be honest? That just doesn’t seem right to me.
She’s not the only one. Pretty much all the girls except Maddie and Mackenzie have publicly given Abby credit and thanked her and the show for the positives that it’s done for them. Especially Chloe and Nia, the two worst treated on the show by Abby, have been the most gracious, much more than Abby deserves.
Also Jojo attacks the OG’s if they so much as mention Abby (or her minion Gia) in a bad light. She literally defended a known child abuser and basically told the victims to shut up and they knew what they were getting into. She’s definitely not the sweetest person by far.
@@corimoon3360 well they did know what they were getting in to. It doesn’t make what Abby did right but those kids did know they were going to be working for producers.
@@carolineanderson4046 of course they knew they were working for the producer's but what they didn't know is that Abby was going to verbally and emotionally damage them in front of the world and kill their love of dance.
@@sweetreny1155 right. I just meant they knew that they were going be working with producers, because some of them had to audition.
@@corimoon3360 ?? Maddie has quite literally thanked Abby, and (even though she didn’t need to, since Abby was abusive and toxic to her as well,) has said that she felt guilty for awhile because she did help her… She also has repeatedly stated that she wouldn’t be where she is without the platform of DM and the producers casting her, and thanked her training from her (real) teachers. She knows that that’s how she was seen by Sia, able to travel, etc.
Unpopular opinion- I grew up in the competitive dance world and had many teachers who yelled at us like Abby. I loved them though. I don’t think it’s for everyone to want to be in that world but if kids find it too stressful they can quit. Being on a reality show is just stressful on it’s own too. It’s a lot to deal with.
Abby wasn't strict, she was abusive. They couldn't legally leave without paying a huge sum of money.
this the only real comment on here lol
I am so sick and tired of everyone in these comments speaking of these girls as if they know them personally. What do you expect them to do. Bow at her feet? A lot of them have grown up and have claimed they have felt traumatized. We have no idea what it is like growing up on reality tv. It’s probably really scary and might I add they also had to grow up with a mentor who constantly berated them.
Your 100 percent right this comments defending Abby are very ignorant people.
That’s on their parents! Not on Abby
@@hiphopdreamz1044 I'm tired of you Abby stans defending child abuse. Abby is responsible for her behaviour and Abby alone. The moms tried to leave but were trapped because it was a six season contract. That's like saying to someone who gets beaten by their partner its their fault because they didn't leave, Abby is a narcissistic abuser and all you stans are enablers to her behaviour.
Nia tried to visit you and you refused to let her see you.
I read that somewhere too! This video has me side-eying her!
Where's the receipt for that
I get what she means but she has to understand how much trauma she caused those children. They also helped her become a household name. Those kids and their mothers made the show as much as she did. Melissa, Jill, Holly and Christie especially became great reality show personalities.
These Mothers Allowed Her To Do What She Did Because They Wanted Money And They Wanted Their Children In The SpotLight They Should've Stress Leave Lr Something Instead Of Over Working There Children
@@tiffanyamaya7405 they weren’t allowed to leave due to contracts lol. Yes as mothers they should’ve done whatever they could to take their child out of that environment. That doesn’t take away from the trauma Abby caused lol
It’s always about her. It’s never about them. And then they leave. And it’s the other way around 😂
She’s always blaming everyone else and never holding herself accountable for her actions
NIA VISITED YOU IN THE HOSPITAL ABBY BUT YOU TURNED HER AWAY!
Clearly it shows what kind of person she truly is if the people closest to her cut her off like that.
she’s always made a point about “bratty” children deserving nothing, while they spent their most valuable childhoods bound under contracts unable to remove themselves from the toxic & abusive environment, and she hasn’t once thought of that when claiming numerous amounts of times how much credit/appreciation she “deserves” and is “entitled” to?
The contracts were renewed in season 3, and all the parents and the children chose to come back. That's clear proof that they wanted to stay, not because they were under a contract to do so.
@@maryeverett2266 those kids clearly didnt want to come back. by season 3 they were only about 9-12 year olds
@@Luuni100 They did all come back. What does their age have to do with that?
@@maryeverett2266 their parents were the ones signing the contracts, not the kids
@@Luuni100 So you're saying that the parents signed the contracts against their children's will? What makes you think that?
Who cares though? Move on with your life and do something useful
Abby spoke nothing but facts. She is the reason every single one of the cast members have a career today.
No. The National Tv show they appeared on every day for years is…. Imagine siding with a child abuser…
Exactly✔✔
@@corimoon3360 You are being dramatic. The word abuse is overused these days. It takes away from people that are really abused and not in the spot light. The only reason anyone cares about this is because it was a TV show that you evidently watched. Very little attention is given to abuse victims.
@@corimoon3360Abby was still their dance teacher tho. The show helped too obviously but she helped train them. U can’t simply not give credit js because some1 treated u badly. Give credit where credit is due.
@@andy-dr7ft yes because emotional / mental abuse is just " treating someone badly " Abby was literally going bankrupt before the show, she was destroying her own legacy before the show even started. The girls don't rlly owe her anything
The way she is so bitter towards CHILDREN tells you all you need to know. I love my grandmother more than anything, but she she’s so much like Abby that it’s scary. She does a lot of kind things for people, but always throws it in your face and tells everyone she does everything for said people. To me, that takes away the good of the act. Abby is constantly throwing dirt on the Dance Moms cast - both moms and kids. The fact that she justifies traumatizing these children by saying that they’re now rich and live in mansions tells you all you need to know. NEXT
They’re not children they’re all adults including kenzie
Also I’m not defending her
@@tvwatcher1150 They were children, and to me still are. PERIOD DOT
@@SnowWhiteTheU2 I am not defending her, but they are adults now and at one point you gotta sort your life out.. Even if someone else caused you harm, not everyone is sorry for that and it’s your job to fix yourself and your life up, cause no one else will.. That’s what being an adult is. But yeah i definetly do think that distancing themselves from Abby is a great step to getting better!!
@♡HIRIKU! True!!! Abby for sure had some problems in her own head to be acting that horrible to those little kids.. ://
It was toxic. They made money from the show but they learned new dances every single week and worked hard.
Dont shame on any of those kids. She literally traumatized them
Nia tried reaching out to her when she was in the hospital and she rejected her
Someone needs to remind Abby that she was a nobody in the dance world before the show came along so her and the girls became successful together. She didn’t make the girls the stars they show did
They have told her that she just doesn’t care and goes back to insulting the moms and their kids
Those who thinks Abby bullied the kids, no. That's not true.
One main thing is the producers. And this is how Abby teaches.
It's also the moms who wouldn't shut their mouth.
Abby did open doors for them and if i were them i still would reach out to Abby
Abby did bully the kids, if you don't think so you're oblivious. You can't blame the producers entirely because she still supports every single thing she said on that show. The girls owe Abby not a single thing.
You're looking at whats right infront of you. Many have said that they have worked with abby when not on tv and they said that shes very kind and nothing like she is on the show. Producers used to literally fat shame abby before they recorded to make her mad.. And the fact that most of them wouldnt be famous AT ALL and yet abby gets no thank yous even when she was on her death bed and was dying?
This is ironic considering Abby didn't do shit for those girls if it didn't directly benefit her.
If you are looking for a person that defines narcissism, here she is.
The worst thing is, JoJo appreciates her and gives her credit all the time
Damn, this lady is toxic. 🤯
Yup she never learns.
Didn't Nia reach out but Abby...rejected her...? Lmao
Yep, she's actually only talking about Maddie. She doesn't care about the rest.
I do think the producers pushed the toxic stuff we saw on the Dance moms. It’s interesting that they all had pretty good relationships before the show. The pyramid was production’s idea and the cast would have to stay there until a fight began. Everyone involved hated pyramid, especially Abby.
Yes even the moms said in podcasts that the producers/crew wouldn’t let them leave if there wasn’t any fighting or drama so many times they would just make a fight for the camera to leave because they wanted more drama for more ratings!
I read it would take 4 hours some days
LIFETIME gave the girls and YOU a career. LIFETIME is the reason the girls are famous. Yes you trained them but even after YOU left the show, THE SHOW STILL WENT ON, in season 7. LIFETIME could’ve picked another dance teacher. The world doesn’t revolve around you Abby. Move on.
okay but dance moms was supposed to be a documentary and the aldc was supposed to be in one episode. If abby didnt want and put her career on hold. None of them would be famous.
Girl bye🤡
she always manipulated them when they were on the show, the only difference is that they’re old enough to protect themselves
Didn’t she teach these kids dance because she wanted them to get successful especially Maddie where Maddie’s at right now she wanted that for Maddie so sounds like she just mad that the people like Maddie Kenzie and others didn’t take her along the ride to go to places that they go in pretty sure they know you helped them and got there name out there but at the same time you gave these girls trauma why would they stay in contact
I tried to visit Abby when i was in la in 2018. I did send you letters and card too. Abby is a good person
A lot of judgemental people on here. I know people think she's a monster because she yells at kids and blah blah blah. But she works with kids. She wouldn't be a dance teacher if she didn't love the children. She's been through a lot. Most of us would be *unalive* if we went through what she went through. She can't even walk and people still call her a monster. She's a teacher. I've been yelled at multiple times by teachers. Glass houses people.
Don't agree with this, horrible people cam become teachers. Iv had one who would slap children in the classroom and verbally abuse us for not knowing something minor. There's plenty of stories and cases online that shows there's loads of teachers that teach because they think what they are doing is right even though it's wrong
When you are a teacher in anything you can be hash but never but to the extent you degrade a child. She's said multiple times to poc students racist comments and put the kids under so much stricken rules thay shouldn't even be on a child like in this video hair has to be long. I get kids have to be healthy but having a rule to stay "skinny" while your body develops caz hurt a child. She's a "monster" for what she did to them and just because she went though cancer which is horrible and no one should go though, it is not an excuse for her to get out of the bad shit she did
I don’t think she realizes how badly the kids were effected by the show and through her even if that wasnt what she was trying to do , the only reason jojo is still in touch is that she didn’t go through that much on the show , maybe a year but then she branched out to her own RUclips channel and built her success away from dance moms , but it’s not surprising that the Ziegler’s aren’t in contact anymore those kids went through a lot , before the show in their personal lives and that reality show didn’t help either it only added to their stress , from the ages between 8-15 they probably don’t want to think of those times again because of how much it’s linked to stress and anxiety probably even trauma , but it still would’ve been nice to wish her well after her spinal surgery even if it was a small card
I was surprised by maddie and kenzie especially, they wouldn’t be as big as they are now without her and she treated them like princesses most of the time, and yet they just take off and it’s like later bitch. I understand why the other girls and moms don’t because they were treated like rubbish and abused but seriously Melissa couldn’t have raised her kids to have respect and to honour the person who made them famous but no, I shouldn’t have expected that from her
Abby didn't make them famous. The show did, they have every right to cut ties with Abagail.
@@jacool6357 without Abby to contact places for auditions for them the world would only know them from the show, they wouldn’t want to hire them because they can’t decide just from the show that they would be perfect for the role and because Abby had so many connections she got the word out the Zieglers are spoiled brats would only wanted Abby for success the least they could do was credit her a little just to be polite
Melissa comes across as someone who uses people up when needed but then discards them when no longer needed. Hate people like that . Don’t ever let yourself be exploited people
She is right
Two things can be true at the same time. Did the show benefit the girls monetarily and push them into the limelight…Yes! Did the being on the show also leave them with traumatic experiences…Yes! Also let’s not act like she wasn’t also benefitting from this arrangement.
Yes she was but instead of saying hey I'm gaining money and I'm going to pay my taxes and bills she hide that money and went to jail so...
Making fun of that girls ears remember that one jeez..
Me me and me she is nuts.
What?
You would think after all Abby has been through, she would have grown (but clearly she has not). She was emotionally abusive to those girls for YEARS (and also during their formative years that left them all with a lot of trauma). She needs to leave them alone and get over it. You can not expect to treat people badly and for them to turn around and recommend your studio. I would never. Her comments make her seem petty and mature.
Is there a interview with Abby where the interviewers ask critical questions? I feel like they all let her gaslight the girls and blame production for everything. Take your own responsibility for your actions.
it doesn’t matter what they went through on the show. they went through so much but they also gained so many blessings that people break their back for and go through 10 times worse to get where they were. she was on her death bed in the hospital and all she asked was for a thank you.
she doesn’t need a thank you when she didn’t cast the show (and wasn’t even supposed to be on it herself) and wasn’t even one of their *actual* teachers?? lol on top of that, all of the girls have said they’re grateful for the platform and their training and know that’s what led them to bigger success, literally several times. she actively lies and pretends they haven’t so people will pity her/take her side. didn’t know obtaining more visibility in your life negates childhood trauma so bad that you can’t even remember most of what you went through. it DOES matter that they were berated, manipulated and exploited.
@@ang4588 GIRL SHE WAS DYING. ALL SHE WANTED WAS A THANK YOU INCASE SHE DIED
GIRL
i’m pretty sure a birthday party and the kids choice awards are two different things abby…
What Abby did was emotional abuse. Yes the show’s editing could have exaggerated some parts but overall the show was abusive. Money can’t heal trauma.
‘After what i did for your children’ all you did for their children was give them trauma
💖Love Abby! 💖
Jojo siwa wasn't abby's favourite but one thing i can tell you jojo definitely acknowledged all the hard work abby did And help her, and she's so humble she always has nice thing's to say and she definitely remembered she owes her success to miss abby ❤
any psychiatrist and therapist can say with their chest that this person abused those children. doesn’t matter why, it’s still abuse. there are always better ways to handle things. when you work with children, you are held to a higher standard because your behavior directly impacts their growth. We’re past that era where abuse is justified for the sake of success. We need to be honest with ourselves.
I agree so much with that, Jojo is the only one who visited her in hospital. X
Nia tried to but Abby didn't want to see her
So saying “1 in 6” to little girls was to make them feel bad or embarrassed in the moment of whatever they were doing. Wow, she certainly put a positive spin on something that was truly negative and done with cruel intentions.
I think Abby is lovable. Something entertaining about her to watch. I don’t like when she’s rude to the kids, but her mannerism and and attitudes towards the mothers was hilarious! And yall those moms were pretty awful ppl too…. Many of them renewed their contracts because their kids wanted to go back…..
She is absolutely right. Never forget your humble beginnings and the people that helped you get ahead in life.
Abby traumatized those girls if anything they HELPED Abby make a lot of money as Christie said “without them kids you were no one going into bankrupt”
Although, she treated them badly, obviously had a favorite, and probably traumatised those little girls. I still think that owe her a somewhat of a thank you. Honestly it's really confusing but she did do a lot for them. If you watched every season of Dance moms over at least two rimes, than I think you would understand. BTW Abby was not the only one who was toxic too. The Dance mom were toxic too.
A thank you for traumatising them?? Lmaooo are you insane
I agree with Abby. Shame on them. Stay strong. I know your heart was true.
But those children have acknowledge they wouldn’t have those opportunities without dance moms and Abby n Giana like what more recognition do you need I feel like she’s so thirsty to want to be apart of there lives haven’t full grasp that they have moved on and move past it now they’re young women having successful careers dance moms was just a foundation and without her dancing and talent they wouldn’t be where they are now they have natural talent as individuals the only thing Abby did was highlight how good they actual are she’s so hung up of what somebody ou her just be grateful that you have those experience people coming in life for a reason a season sometime for a lifetime you sometime mix up seasonal people with lifetime expectations
abby, you hurt those people. they are scared of you. move on, grow up abby.
Understand where she is coming from . It's TRUE she basically, made MADDIE , she is the one who built that building so kids hada place to dance.she took the risks , dedicated her life to it , missing out on maybe marriage,motherhood cos she was given her blood sweat and tears for years to the ALDC...that's not the real abbey on Dance moms, it was manipulated manufactured reality TV. She is not this monster...abbey keep doing you and the rest will follow x
Abby didn't WANT children, she didn't make Maddie, the SHOW did. Abby says that she supports everything that she said on Dance Moms and it ended because the allegations of her being racist. The kids owe nothing to her..
She’s so embarrassing. I can’t imagine being that miserable at her big age
I think they all know where they came from, but the kids grew up. They continued their career and decided to keep going. Plus most of them didn’t do much social media right after dance moms. Trama comes in different ways to each person. In my past abusive relationships, I don’t like them nor do I talk to them, but I do thank them in my head for helping me become who I am. But I will never ever talk to them nor show them satisfaction.
Abbey was their teacher not their friend they didn't owe her a visit or a card, how ever they do owe her praise for the show giving them a leg up in their dance careers and they act like Abbey and the show has nothing to do with it.
I can't believe ET is giving this horrible felon an opportunity to keep complaining, gaslighting and bullying. It's okay to give her a platform for the charity. But that charity was only mentioned briefly.
Lifetime made those girls famous, not you.
Exactly my point
You guys need to watch Abby’s RUclips videos to get the full story and see what happened behind the scenes. Because Im seeing so many comments saying “she shouted at them” “she gave them so much anxiety for 7 years” “ she can’t say she made them famous” .... if it wasn’t for the show the moms and girls wouldn’t be as successful as they are now. Go check Abby’s RUclips page and see the full story before yall say anything u regret
If it wasn't for the SHOW, ABBY wouldn't be as famous as she is now. She was physically and mentally abusive and she plays victim. The girls payed for her to teach them so they owe her nothing.
Why would they reach out to you? You treated those kids and mothers so horrible. She always plays the victim. How about you apologize to those children on how you treated them and humiliated that on national tv.
I'm a dancing teacher, too-not a competition one, though. But I have had many, many students. Few ever acknowledge me & my mom(who was a dance teacher, too). I think you are a genius, Abbey Lee Miller. What you have done for the dance business is phenominal. What they, the moms & kids have done is no surprise to me. And you helping feed children around the world speaks highly of your character. What those kids & moms have done & do speak of their character.
Abby: How many celebs can I name drop in 11 minutes and 26 seconds?
You can't just emotionally abuse childeren and scream at their mothers and expect them to visit you in the hospital.
You are their dance teacher not their friend!
Me to Abby:
“YOU. DESERVE. NOTHING!!”
My daughter works with Abby along with several others. She is nothing like what is portrayed on the show. It’s TV people and she is a human being. She has sacrificed a lot as others have and credit should always be given where credit is due. There is no harm in distancing yourself, however forgetting where you came from and the person who got you started is sad.
We honestly don’t care. Abby was a abusive, toxic, manipulative, childish, miserable ass bitch and you expect them girls and their parents to talk to her after what she put them through😂 I think the fuck not…
What I LOVE, is how NO ONE but Jojo’s mom thought that she would be huge. Everyone always said that Maddie was and will be the most famous. And I quote from Melissa “Maddie is the most famous 12 year old in the world” (she said this back in the day) and I can guarantee that most people have not heard of Maddie Ziegler, MOST people, from young to old have heard of Jojo Siwa and I feel that she has made more of a name for herself than Maddie or Kalani or Kendall, and I bet those moms and ABBY, did not see that coming.
bringing that bag home they were getting paid 600 dollars per episode and season two that that was for the whole cast literally had to split it up evenly
Bro the therapy these children needed after enduring her for all those formative years.
That’s like saying oh because “I’m your mother and brought you to this world you owe me everything”
i love how clearly you can see her personality here. Also I don’t know if the interviewer is messy or smart.
Smart
I always question this lady's upbringing. Her childhood must've been rough!
Love Abby always will 🥰🥰🥰
So happy abby and is back and looking and healthy so happy to see abbby back !
I Know This Is An Unpopular Opinion But If This Woman Is Causing Your Child So Much Trauma Is Money And Fame Worth You Bringing Your Child Everyday Of The Week? They Say This Woman Brought So Much Trauma To Their Children But It Could've Ended Anytime By Them Taking Their Children Out Of That Environment
I went to Myrna Harvey’s school of dance, and we just danced at the state theater. They were lucky
After how disgustingly she treated them on national television, she expects them to owe her something? Honey, no. Karma really is a bitch. I don’t feel bad for her at all.
This woman has such a superiority complex. I don’t think she realizes how much the children on the show were affected emotionally. Many of the kids on the show were verbally berated and were constantly under the pressure of the producers to do certain things.
i understand both sides
Abby is the only star of Dance Moms
