What do you think the wildest moment on Dance Moms was? (Also got different moms on the Australia trip! Will clarify in next part✨🙏)

[AxelMacopelli]

Abby wasn't strict. She was abusive. I used to dance and my teachers were definitely very strict, but I have never in my life been yelled at the way she screamed at those children

[renej]

As a teen seeing this unfold I thought it was bad. But now as a mom and teacher, this breaks my heart. These poor girls were exploited and emotionally abused. I can only imagine the damage it did to these girls minds. Fame isn’t worth it.

Slight correction: the only mother that was rumored to help Abby smuggle money was Melissa, and it was kinda apparent when in the episode when she dumps her purse you see the ziploc bags filled with money and Melissa rushed over to hide it. I think the other evidence was right before the Ziegler’s left & Abby was mistreating Kenzie, Melissa says to Abby “she doesn’t want to mess with her, she knows so much stuff”. As far as I remember, none of the other moms helped Abby smuggle the money or were rumored to.

give the editors a raise bc that Nicki Minaj edit with Abby was Oscar worthy.

My grandmother is a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh and knew who Abby was before the show when she was running the studio with her mother and father. All she says about Abby is that she would have never taken her daughters to her, even back then. There is a reason her studio went from having a massive number of students in the 1990s to being on the verge of closing in the late-2000s.

I live in Penn Hills, PA, where Abby’s original studio was. I only danced for her for less than a few months before my mom pulled me from her studio and took me to another. She would scream at me for simple things. I think I was only like maybe six? This was LONG before she got a tv show. People think she plays it up for the show, but she doesn’t. That lady is an abusive monster.

I recently watched this on Roku.. I was appalled no one canceled her after season one for the abuse. So glad deep dive is covering her 🍿

[Michee]

The way she immediately left after being scolded by the other coach 😂😂😂

[TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

The Dance Moms reunion proved how badly Abby Lee Miller & the producers scarred all her dancers for life with childhood trauma & how JoJo Siwa has become just as abusive as her to all of her dancers!

“The evil queen of children’s competitive dance” took me TF out 🤣

[KayceeKKK]

Now we need toodlers and tiaras and honeybobo

[rebeccablackburn]

I have never seen a "dance teacher" who sits down so much. Most choreographers I've seen actually dance.

[notsorryyouretriggered]

The theatre etiquette scene gets me every time 💀

[lisabasse]

The fact that out of ALL of season 1 kids, little VIVI. Miss "I hurt my nail, I hope I can still dance, " candy apple, was the ONLY girl to pursue dance in college. Speaks VOLUMES. As a dancer with an unhealthy love/hate relationship with this show, I'm SIKED for this series. Rip miss Abby to SHREDS

[AndreeCynthia]

I have been WAITING. for a deep dive on dance moms. Omg.

[reyestavia]

not sure why people don't talk about this often - but alcohol was always available at the studio for the moms, i think it was hype them up for fights and arguments and i've heard it was ALSO available for the children, and kelly's husband used to talk about how her and the kids would come home with bags of money, so many things we don't know about

[Mothyboi]

"The scraped together their savings"

"WELL at their country club with their bank owning friends-"

Bro lets not pretend she wasnt given life on a silver platter

[ahumanbeena]

The subtle twilight baseball footage lmao. I love the little touches in this channels editing, it's really entertaining.

[beebaritter]

I had a boss who emulated Miller when I was a law clerk. The yelling, the pyramid compaing employees, the triangulation. I think she was an aspiring cult leader. Holy smokes, I'm still recovering.
