@@awesomesauce2000 no your student has nothing to do with the relationship you have with her mother. And second SHE PAYS HER TO TEACH and get her in competitions.
@@licialopes3828 I meant she shouldn't have to help. Typo. If someone whose paying you to teach their daughter is being extremely rude then of course she's going to stop teaching said kid. This isn't a school and she's under no obligations to continue teaching dance to kid whose mother is being rude.
Abby: What has Holly accomplished? NOTHING!! Holly: *literally has three degrees, a loving family, and more class and dignity than literally anyone else on that show*
Abby frequently told the literal children she teaches that they can’t cry and that they shouldn’t be crying unless someone has died or they have an arm falling off, then she turns around and cries when the girls or moms talk back to her 💀💀
my narcissist mother was obsessed with this show growing up, she always praised abby and thought the mothers were so annoying. rewatching this as an adult, it all makes sense lmao. these poor little girls and their mothers.
SAME but except for season one lol because Christi was jealous of Maddie 💀 but after that she was always right and Abby was so unfair to Chloe ❤❤ Christi also took care of Maddie and Mackenzie etc when Melissa etc wasn’t there ❤❤
According to the other comments, this scene is edited. The abuser didn't comment on the child's talent, she actually insulted the kid's physical appearance (an eye condition), which is why the mom was *so* enraged.
i hate how Abby doesn't think before speaking. when she said Nia should've danced an African dance better "because she's African", my jaw dropped and my blood boiled like hell
And she told Nina to fix her hair, even though it was her natural hair. She was also saying she should make it Normal or something similar, and that made my blood boil.
If i’m being honest,if i was on this show (and could at least dance for 3 seconds properly) I would have snapped back at abby. My mother isn’t a good person anyways,but i would have just tottally lost it. what would abby do if a child snapped back? cuss at the child?

@@ellajejs9465 yes I agree! The relationship between sia and Maddie is very creepy and unhealthy I think. In general any young person who has a lot of money and is constantly being around adults is not good. Melissa needs to do better.
Ngl it was a smart move in the long run. If she stood up she would have done to Maddie what she did to Chloe and Brooke. And now look at Maddie and Kenzie.
@@haydenmays7150 it also taught her girls to be weak minded as u can see Maddie and sis Maddie just does whatever a adult near her says and it’s sad and weird u should teach your children to stand up for what’s right
She was the only smart one. The only one to really question it and speak it out loud. People can hate Christi all they want but she was the realest one there. Even Holly was lowkey fake sometimes.
@@jeniferlopez20 yeah it’s not right. But if you think about it Abby herself has fat shamed a lot of girls on the show- she’s also insulted and traumatized them
@@trafficconestan8999 tbh it was funny lmao. 1000% will stoop to her level. If she's gonna fat shame little girls, the least she can do is handle gettin fat shamed herself.
Fun fact: when Abby said “Your kid’s washed up!” It was actually dubbed in post. Abby actually said “get her lazy eye fixed” the producers had it dubbed in post to make Abby look better. Chloe has a condition called “Silent Sinus Syndrome” which causes facial asymmetry around the eye. Abby has said countless negative remarks about the girls appearance, but it’s usually cut or edited down without context.
Yeah and the worst part is at the time they didn’t know what the issue was but one of the things they were testing for when she said it was cancer and there’s no way Abby was unaware of that.
You know what makes my blood boil? The fact that no one stood up for Chloe when Abby made fun of her at Season 4 Nationals and the only one to check to see if Christi was okay was Cathy out of all people (they talked about that on Christi’s podcast)
i recommend yall watching MackZBoss’s channel and she talks about behind the scenes of what actually happened💞 So like she makes a bunch of videos, and shows what Abby actually said and how mean she was
People call Christy crazy, but I think her reactions to Abby’s mistreatment of her daughter is understandable, rational, and justifiable. I’m not a parent, I don’t know what it’s like to be a parent, but I can only image how it feels seeing your child treated so horribly.
Even though I’m not a parent yet- I wanna fucking hurl a chair at Abby at Mach 10 for what she’s doing to these kids- it’s not fucking right, as someone who was abused and hurt for a long time, It’s clear as DAY, that this shit shouldn’t be done to the kids or their mothers.
The way Christi was on this show was honestly justified. I can’t imagine how infuriating it is to see a good opportunity for your kid but having such an abusive person to deal with.
people try to make her seem like she’s crazy bc the way she would lash out but dude abby was literally so mean to Chloe any mother would do the same thing
@@BelgraviaTottie Right? Like yeah they are defending their daughters but the simplest way to protect them from that abuse would've been to just quit the ADC and find another, healthier studio where their girls could go to. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of good dance studios out there that would've been very happy to have these little girls in their teams!
@@melianelefebvre8830 They couldn't they had six year contracts binding them to the show. The only reason they were allowed to walk away when they did was because her and Chloe became a liability to the producers and they could easily take everyone to court and sue, get production shut down and win a lot of money because what Abby said about Chloe's eye
Christi’s face of total HURT when Chloe says she heard Abby. As someone with little ones, I’d just start to cry if one of them said that to me. Edit: I don’t blame Christy for leaving. Literally paying someone to destroy your kids self esteem. No thanks.
@@lickmyasslikeacupcake4214 if ur talking abt christi, she defended maddie a lot. she helped kenzie and stuff all the time. she just didnt like how abby favoured maddie and therefore gave maddie all the attention that the other kids needed. nia was an average dancer, but if abby gave her the same attention she gave maddie, she would’ve been better. i dont think christi ever meant to hurt maddie, since she knew that maddie was going thru a lot. she shouldve chosen her words better, yes, but i don’t think hurting maddie was ever her intention
@@lickmyasslikeacupcake4214 no she only spoke about how mellissa always lied and let abby favour maddie and turn everyone against her and your the real bitch
Istg Abby annoys me so fricking much... she’s so mean but whenever one of the moms stands up for their kid she starts victimising herself and making them look bad. She’s just so immature and she’s honestly just embarrassing herself
abby released a video of her and cathy talking about dance moms and the producers would make her say stuff like that even though she didn’t want to. you should check it out it’s on abbys channel
@@sammyk1082 i didnt say it gave her an excuse i was just informing them about this new information if u just watch the video and see everything that she says you will understand better
Christi and Holly are the best mothers out of all the moms. They care and support the other kids, not just their own daughters and they stick up for them as well.
Exactly. I love how they are actually willing to curse out Abby, they are amazing. The only shitty thing they did was putting their children in such a dance studio to be teached by someone like Abby.
Abby straight up verbally and emotionally abused these kids. I hope they can heal and grow up to be okay people. Thank god for the few moms that actually defended their daughters from her.
when abby called chloe a snake/sneak, paige said *“Shut up abby“* but the audio was cut off but you can tell by paiges mouth movement, I love that girl ♥️
As an educator, hearing Holly say, “Fine you go ahead and do that. Parents do that all the time” to Abby’s threat of showing up to her school unannounced really did it for me! 🤣
Imagine picturing all of the magical and romantic ways that your boyfriend might propose to you…only to have the question popped on a Dance Moms reunion episode
yeah, always thought she was good when i was younger but like then it turned “oh she did nothing about it” i still say congrats to her for doing the choreography each week for almost every dance, even if it was the same but, she never stood up for the kids
@@kaileem3048 she even laughed when abby madefun of kids when the tali boards was in and abby was like how many times cried oh kendal be more oh no it be Mackenzie who would have more and starts laughing thats when i was like wtf they were children people cry ok but then i was waiting for gianna to stad up for kids she laughed with abby going yeahhhh she be way higher
@@Emilythematerialgurl yeahhh she just went along and laughed with abby. kinda hate how i defended her when i was younger but at least it shows growth within me
Exactly, like why did she get upset in that one clip when Abby was fighting with Kira, like it doesn’t concern her lol. Plus she’s already laughing when the girls get yelled at by Abby.
No matter how much Holly was provoked or how much her daughter was mistreated, Holly *NEVER* gave anybody the satisfaction by acting like a stereotype. That's why she's one of my favorite Dance Moms. As a black woman, it's refreshing to see a black woman be angry and express herself with composure and grace on TV.
@@salemwitchfairy9009 right like she can’t show her true emotions like the white moms because she would be stereotyped and it’s not far she always had to handle shit “with grace” while other moms went full psycho
@@salemwitchfairy9009 she never acted like a stereotype because if she had done half the shit the other moms had done Abby would have slandered her and her daughters name and tried with her all to ruin their reputation she was to Abby one thing. A type cast. That’s it and it’s sad because her and her mother were much much more than what they were treated as
The clip of Chloe sobbing into Paige's shoulder when Abby called her a sneak is like a knife in my heart every time I see it. Chloe was always my favorite, I can't imagine how much trauma that girl has from this show. I think Abby bullied her so much because she saw what a kind, pure soul she was, and she was jealous that Chloe had something she would never have.
I think the part of the show that makes my blood boil the most is when Abby yelled at Nia for having box braids and told Holly to “fix that hair!” That was so shitty of Abby.
@@aldcwaterfall9218 and had an extremely weird obsession with Maddie and constantly commented on how kalanis body looked and how she wanted TO BE Kalani
@@AshaSarayes she is definitely racist. Camryn made a video and she said Abby told her that her feet being light at the soles and dark at the top was weird and looked bad etc. Shes so gross, the way she speaks to kids in general but esp little black girls hurts my heart 🥺
Yeah, and some of them are literally ""problems"" lmao, like who even cares if someone's not married to their boyfriend 💀 and insulting someone's medical condition (especially a CHILD) doesn't make you impressive or righteous, Abby, it just makes you look cruel.
@@errortryagainlater4240 fr like what does there issues have to do with the argument?Now u look stupid bc your bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with anything
paige was so concerned for chloe when abby called chloe a snake, she was rushing out to get to her and she gave her the biggest hug that was the sweetest thing in such a horrible moment
I noticed that also. That was very sweet. Have you seen the Episode when paige forgets her solo on stage, the cameras show the moms and melissa is crying for paige. I thought that was very sweet also.
Watching Nia cry is heartbreaking as an adult. Watching clips now that I’m older makes me understand why adults didn’t like it when I was a kid. It’s disturbing that an adult gets so much pleasure from hurting and punishing kids
So true. Now that I am older, I am seeing this show through a totally different lens. I used to watch this show when I was younger and think all the parents were being mean, and that it's just for show, (which maybe a lot of it actually is) but I totally see why the parents acted the way they did for their children. Abby was manipulative and abusive. The clip of Christi saying it's not worth it anymore and what are they doing to their kids physically broke my heart. I can not even IMAGINE having to watch an adult insult, abuse, manipulate and criticise my own child in front of me. The way the parents reacted and stood up for their kids throughout the entirety of this show, is 100% warranted. (ok yes some of it was a bit dramatic, BUT THAT IS ALSO THE POWER OF EDITING)
@@imapluviophile4892 See that’s what makes me mad about these moms because if they were seeing their child being abused, they should’ve taken them out of her classes. And I bet their childhood would’ve been so much better.
I've got a lot to say about Abby Lee Miller but the comments seem to get exactly how I'm feeling. One thing I will say though is that Abby was calling Kira for dating and being pregnant to her boyfriend instead of being married. Meanwhile, Abby sits there at 45, never been married, serially sexualising and dating young men, to very little reciprocation.
all the men she dated were from like 18-25, their brains arent even fully developed. she wanted them because they were cute and they probably just wanted her for money.
And David(?) is like one of the most vanilla looking guys I've ever seen, I don't think she has to worry about their relationship being a "bad influence"
"I've been thinking about this since the day I met you"
"you know I thought I would never do this"

The crazy part is she could have used her privilege to help the others! She knew Abby wanted Maddie there the most and she could have used that to help .
melissa is still super weak. She lets SIA do whatever with her children. She’s a weak mother that has no support
@@ellajejs9465 yes I agree! The relationship between sia and Maddie is very creepy and unhealthy I think. In general any young person who has a lot of money and is constantly being around adults is not good. Melissa needs to do better.
Ngl it was a smart move in the long run. If she stood up she would have done to Maddie what she did to Chloe and Brooke. And now look at Maddie and Kenzie.
@@haydenmays7150 it also taught her girls to be weak minded as u can see Maddie and sis Maddie just does whatever a adult near her says and it’s sad and weird u should teach your children to stand up for what’s right
The clip of Christi crying and saying "what are we doing to our kids?" made my heart genuinely heavy
yupp
Her self-awareness almost broke through the surface there
@Serenity Whitaker PEARIADT
She was the only smart one. The only one to really question it and speak it out loud. People can hate Christi all they want but she was the realest one there. Even Holly was lowkey fake sometimes.
@@corimoon3360 I thought Holly is also genuine.

Chloe said a lot of stuff on the show she doesn't remember because it was so traumatizing
I really love how Abby is always thinking about food. "Is it the pizza guy?" had me dying.
Holly is a queen and she stands up for her daughter and she slays because she has her own career and she’s great mother
Hollys insults are as classy as her “you’re a monstrosity of evil”: I couldn’t even be mad at that 😂
I love Holly SO much! She sounds like a great mom.
or "you're so ignorant"
Yes I love her!!! She is powerful without tearing people down or throwing around terrible insults and dirty words.
classy queen
👑QUEEN HOLLY👑
Fun fact: when Abby said “Your kid’s washed up!” It was actually dubbed in post. Abby actually said “get her lazy eye fixed” the producers had it dubbed in post to make Abby look better. Chloe has a condition called “Silent Sinus Syndrome” which causes facial asymmetry around the eye. Abby has said countless negative remarks about the girls appearance, but it’s usually cut or edited down without context.
Sadly that’s Hollywood. Abby was trained to be that monster
She’s such a nasty woman. I’m glad she got cancelled
Yeah and the worst part is at the time they didn’t know what the issue was but one of the things they were testing for when she said it was cancer and there’s no way Abby was unaware of that.
yea except it was kinda even worse she called it a dog eye :/
Truly shows what reality TV shows are nowadays.
10:34 Abby : 8=8
*proceeds to show a six
Abby is a master gaslighter and honestly it's hilarious
You know what makes my blood boil? The fact that no one stood up for Chloe when Abby made fun of her at Season 4 Nationals and the only one to check to see if Christi was okay was Cathy out of all people (they talked about that on Christi’s podcast)
I knoww it’s so sad. I titled it that because my mom can’t stand dance moms lol especially Abby😂
I don't think anyone knew
@@fbi1312 Chloe was literally crying in front of everyone
Right, they were all just ignoring her crying and that doesn’t sit right with me….
Yeah and actually Cathy is friends with Christi but has to pretend they hate each other for the show
kira was actually yelling at abby bc she made a negative comment about kalani's body, not bc she pushed her away
Really?! What did she say? I can't believe they would edit that out.
i think it was an inappropriate comment surrounding kalani developing and going through puberty. that's at least what i heard
Idk why Abby was so focused on Kalani’s “development” and how her moms relationship affected that. It was so weird and creepy.
@@yoppi560 she was obsessed with Kalani, I always found it super weird 💀
@@oldiesdm81 wtf is wrong with that woman, jesus
A mother looking out for her daughter Triumphs the word of a dance teacher PERIOD!!!!!!!!!
Can we take a moment and acknowledge the God-tier duo of Kelly and Christi
The saddest part for me was when the little girl was crying because abby called her a snake and her friends were hugging her❤
ik
that was chloe she deserved better💕
i recommend yall watching MackZBoss’s channel and she talks about behind the scenes of what actually happened💞 So like she makes a bunch of videos, and shows what Abby actually said and how mean she was
They all looked so scared. It broke my heart
Fr i feel like without abby there 95% of the girls and moms would be such good friends she makes so many issues for no damn reason
People call Christy crazy, but I think her reactions to Abby’s mistreatment of her daughter is understandable, rational, and justifiable. I’m not a parent, I don’t know what it’s like to be a parent, but I can only image how it feels seeing your child treated so horribly.
Christi may have her flaws, but she is soooo much better than Melissa.
Yep! I would rather see a mom defend her children instead of someone who kisses up to someone just so their daughter can get better dances.
Even though I’m not a parent yet- I wanna fucking hurl a chair at Abby at Mach 10 for what she’s doing to these kids- it’s not fucking right, as someone who was abused and hurt for a long time, It’s clear as DAY, that this shit shouldn’t be done to the kids or their mothers.
@@proudhater6800 yes
Agreed
At 9:05 the way Kelly and christi gasp 😂
ngl "AbBy GivEtH, aBbY taKEtH AwAY" got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
The way Christi was on this show was honestly justified. I can’t imagine how infuriating it is to see a good opportunity for your kid but having such an abusive person to deal with.
people try to make her seem like she’s crazy bc the way she would lash out but dude abby was literally so mean to Chloe any mother would do the same thing
@@midnightstar580 I don’t think any mother would allow their children to be abused for an opportunity. The mums are literally as bad as Abby.
@@BelgraviaTottie Right? Like yeah they are defending their daughters but the simplest way to protect them from that abuse would've been to just quit the ADC and find another, healthier studio where their girls could go to. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of good dance studios out there that would've been very happy to have these little girls in their teams!
@@melianelefebvre8830 They couldn't they had six year contracts binding them to the show. The only reason they were allowed to walk away when they did was because her and Chloe became a liability to the producers and they could easily take everyone to court and sue, get production shut down and win a lot of money because what Abby said about Chloe's eye
team christi
I know it's harsh but I'm incredibly relieved that Abby does not have any kids. Holy hell
GOD KNEW NOT TO MAKE THAT WOMAN A MOTHER 😂😂
I think if she did they'd be like Vivian
Ohh she doesn’t? explains why she’s so cruel to the kids, maybe she’s mad that she was never able to have kids?
Not harsh. It’s the damn truth.
@@mercedessadhouredits7299 not harsh, she still manages to torture plenty though
3:19 Holly is so pretty!
6:44 OK CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THAT HUG WAS BETWEEN PAIGE AND CHLOE? PAIGE LOOKED SO WORRIEDDDD AWWWWWWWW
Christi’s face of total HURT when Chloe says she heard Abby. As someone with little ones, I’d just start to cry if one of them said that to me.
Edit: I don’t blame Christy for leaving. Literally paying someone to destroy your kids self esteem. No thanks.
That was wrong but that bitch was always talking shit and bullying Melissa💀
@@lickmyasslikeacupcake4214 Yeah, I get that, but don’t bring the kid into it, you know?
@@lickmyasslikeacupcake4214 if ur talking abt christi, she defended maddie a lot. she helped kenzie and stuff all the time. she just didnt like how abby favoured maddie and therefore gave maddie all the attention that the other kids needed. nia was an average dancer, but if abby gave her the same attention she gave maddie, she would’ve been better. i dont think christi ever meant to hurt maddie, since she knew that maddie was going thru a lot. she shouldve chosen her words better, yes, but i don’t think hurting maddie was ever her intention
@Kayleigh de Wit YEEES THANK YOU.
@@lickmyasslikeacupcake4214 no she only spoke about how mellissa always lied and let abby favour maddie and turn everyone against her and your the real bitch
the fact that abby held a grudge against kelly for over 30 years abd took it out on her kids is crazy
ayo newest
She didnt. Kelly & Brooke have both said that Brooke used to be a favorite.
Nah frrr😭
Always thought Abby looked younger than Kelly lol
@@mariahr8870 i know Its 🧢 but damn.
i love the fact that abby constantly tells them to tell her where they are going and where they have been but when they do it to her, its a problem💀
Holly is literally so calm although she wants Abby to change so bad like she never shouts
Istg Abby annoys me so fricking much... she’s so mean but whenever one of the moms stands up for their kid she starts victimising herself and making them look bad. She’s just so immature and she’s honestly just embarrassing herself
abby released a video of her and cathy talking about dance moms and the producers would make her say stuff like that even though she didn’t want to. you should check it out it’s on abbys channel
@@elizabethgonzales1334 that gives her no excuse to destroy those kids self esteem
@@sammyk1082 i didnt say it gave her an excuse i was just informing them about this new information if u just watch the video and see everything that she says you will understand better
Very much gabbie Hannah
except Leslie and Christy (Sarah’s Mom)
Christi and Holly are the best mothers out of all the moms. They care and support the other kids, not just their own daughters and they stick up for them as well.
Exactly. I love how they are actually willing to curse out Abby, they are amazing. The only shitty thing they did was putting their children in such a dance studio to be teached by someone like Abby.
Yes QUEENS
Abby straight up verbally and emotionally abused these kids. I hope they can heal and grow up to be okay people. Thank god for the few moms that actually defended their daughters from her.
fax
How about instead they not pay tens of thousands of dollars to have their kids traumatized?
Kira and her husband’s photos are so wholesome tho
The girls comforting others is so sweet ❤
when abby called chloe a snake/sneak, paige said *“Shut up abby“* but the audio was cut off but you can tell by paiges mouth movement, I love that girl ♥️
omg you can tell how much she loves Chloe💔
yess paige is honestly the only one whos not afraid of abby, and i think its because of her mom.
Should of said “ shut up fatty x “
@@Ryan.macaroni hAhha lol she should of
You can tell Abbys losing her voice and it's so funny to me for some reason
As an educator, hearing Holly say, “Fine you go ahead and do that. Parents do that all the time” to Abby’s threat of showing up to her school unannounced really did it for me! 🤣
Holly is a queen ❤️
She's an icon 7:39
She was so real for that lmao
Yeah fr 💀
Holly is a effortless queen✨💗
holly: u are a monstrosity of evil
abby: *taken aback*
Imagine picturing all of the magical and romantic ways that your boyfriend might propose to you…only to have the question popped on a Dance Moms reunion episode
RIGHT??!
hot take: Gianna (not sure how to spell it, but the assistant dance teacher) is just as complicit in the bad behaviour
yes! i heard somewhere that she never, ever stood up for the girls and sometimes even encouraged Abby's abuse and bullying
yeah, always thought she was good when i was younger but like then it turned “oh she did nothing about it” i still say congrats to her for doing the choreography each week for almost every dance, even if it was the same but, she never stood up for the kids
@@kaileem3048 she even laughed when abby madefun of kids when the tali boards was in and abby was like how many times cried oh kendal be more oh no it be Mackenzie who would have more and starts laughing thats when i was like wtf they were children people cry ok but then i was waiting for gianna to stad up for kids she laughed with abby going yeahhhh she be way higher
@@Emilythematerialgurl yeahhh she just went along and laughed with abby. kinda hate how i defended her when i was younger but at least it shows growth within me
Exactly, like why did she get upset in that one clip when Abby was fighting with Kira, like it doesn’t concern her lol. Plus she’s already laughing when the girls get yelled at by Abby.
Cloe's mom acualy slays yelling at abby
I Stan holly,Kelly,Kira and christie bc they stand up for their kids and I STAN for that! And Abby just takes it away from the kids
No matter how much Holly was provoked or how much her daughter was mistreated, Holly *NEVER* gave anybody the satisfaction by acting like a stereotype. That's why she's one of my favorite Dance Moms. As a black woman, it's refreshing to see a black woman be angry and express herself with composure and grace on TV.
She reminds me so much of my own mother. Such a QUEEN!!!
Let black women get mad the way they want! You know damn we’ll why she never “acted like a stereotype”😒
@@salemwitchfairy9009 right like she can’t show her true emotions like the white moms because she would be stereotyped and it’s not far she always had to handle shit “with grace” while other moms went full psycho
@@salemwitchfairy9009 she never acted like a stereotype because if she had done half the shit the other moms had done Abby would have slandered her and her daughters name and tried with her all to ruin their reputation she was to Abby one thing. A type cast. That’s it and it’s sad because her and her mother were much much more than what they were treated as
I feel like you're to worried about a color being portrayed as a stereotype and not seeing the verbal abuse of these kids
I love how Abby calls Holly rude and her mouth ugly when she criticizes Abby and her actions with such classy words.
it’s because holly is criticizing abby. it’s not about what holly says, it’s the fact that it’s directed at abby. that’s how narcissistic abby is
@@amberm3655 not to mention she's(abby) projecting hard

KOREKIYO SHINGUJI PFP?? I LOVE U
always stan christi and holly they handle everything in a good tone and a motherly way
7:40 is being overlooked and I don't know why lol
The clip of Chloe sobbing into Paige's shoulder when Abby called her a sneak is like a knife in my heart every time I see it. Chloe was always my favorite, I can't imagine how much trauma that girl has from this show. I think Abby bullied her so much because she saw what a kind, pure soul she was, and she was jealous that Chloe had something she would never have.
She was also my favorite, I would always get mad and sad the way Abby treated her
She just has beef with Chloe's mother, and took it out on her. That's what narcissists do, they use their anger as power over the helpless.
@@jadaavant490 preach, narcissist especially mothers suckkkk

“ABBY GIVETH ABBY TAKETH AWAY”
I think the part of the show that makes my blood boil the most is when Abby yelled at Nia for having box braids and told Holly to “fix that hair!” That was so shitty of Abby.
it's the racism for me
The racism and she constantly insulted and fatshamed dancers, AND she made fun of chloes medical condition
@@aldcwaterfall9218 and had an extremely weird obsession with Maddie and constantly commented on how kalanis body looked and how she wanted TO BE Kalani

@@jeankirschteinliker6969 I’m traumatised too
Watching Nia cry is heartbreaking as an adult. Watching clips now that I’m older makes me understand why adults didn’t like it when I was a kid. It’s disturbing that an adult gets so much pleasure from hurting and punishing kids
So true. Now that I am older, I am seeing this show through a totally different lens. I used to watch this show when I was younger and think all the parents were being mean, and that it's just for show, (which maybe a lot of it actually is) but I totally see why the parents acted the way they did for their children. Abby was manipulative and abusive. The clip of Christi saying it's not worth it anymore and what are they doing to their kids physically broke my heart. I can not even IMAGINE having to watch an adult insult, abuse, manipulate and criticise my own child in front of me. The way the parents reacted and stood up for their kids throughout the entirety of this show, is 100% warranted. (ok yes some of it was a bit dramatic, BUT THAT IS ALSO THE POWER OF EDITING)
@@imapluviophile4892 See that’s what makes me mad about these moms because if they were seeing their child being abused, they should’ve taken them out of her classes. And I bet their childhood would’ve been so much better.

she’s mad that she can’t manipulate the mothers
I've got a lot to say about Abby Lee Miller but the comments seem to get exactly how I'm feeling. One thing I will say though is that Abby was calling Kira for dating and being pregnant to her boyfriend instead of being married. Meanwhile, Abby sits there at 45, never been married, serially sexualising and dating young men, to very little reciprocation.
Literally omg she got a new man every season
all the men she dated were from like 18-25, their brains arent even fully developed. she wanted them because they were cute and they probably just wanted her for money.
