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

[LauraTheFanGirl]

This woman finds a way to make every problem about her.

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.

[ryanfisher]

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.

They owe Abby nothing! There's a reason why ppl don't want to continue a relationship with her...

[cvera__]

After her making fun of Chole’s eye and racist comment towards Nia and Cameron ? They don’t owe her sh*t

[chloelukasiakcontent]

The amount of gaslighting and manipulation in this video is INSANE…

[yellowhouseport]

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.

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.

[courtneyw]

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

[c_louie]

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.

[ryanallen]

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

[rafaelorona]

She’s so bitter. Those kids don’t owe you anything anymore. They paid you for those opportunities and they also were part of the success of the show. Abby feels like she’s the only reason of their success and that’s definitely not true. Those kids worked hard.

[michelleglowala]

She was so abusive to the kids and their parents. She is awful. I do not think anybody cares.

[juliaholzschuher]

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.

[luwildy]

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

[GM-dpef]

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

[belinhel]

Abby treated those kids terribly - what would she expect she made them cry every week

[arachnidlupus]

Didn't Nia reach out but Abby...rejected her...? Lmao

[sherryfreeze]

This is laughable considering how she treated everyone. Maybe that should be a wake up call hunnie.
