i love christi and all but as i grew up, i realized that she took it too far with maddie . she was a kid .. a pressured and scared one..

[OliviaWeldon]

The fight between Abby and Kelly isn't funny anymore. If you watch the dance moms reunion Kelly spoke about the fight and said she regretted acting that way in the situation and that is never should have happened. Kelly also mentioned during the reunion that if Abby apologized for the way she treated her, Paige and Brooke she would be willing to forgive Abby. It's quite sad tbh.

10:52 did u guys hear Maddie crying saying im sorry, that just broke my heart😢

[fairypjm]

i feel so bad for maddie in this episode. she was not at fault. she was an 11 year old girl who was listening to her mother and teacher. christi and kelly were so cruel towards her

If Abby had faith in Chloe and Paige duet knowing that they would win 1st place, she would have never entered Maddie and kalani duet and Kelly Brooke, and Paige would have not left the team. She is absolutely insane for setting up her own students to not do well 😢

[spiderman-gvwz]

maturing is realizing that Abby and Christi were the problem. Idk why Melissa got so much hate when we literally saw her trying to get Maddie’s duet to not compete because she had faith in Chloe and Paige and she new Christi would be mad. Christi blamed Melissa and maddie for no reason and her little “you know who your friends are” comment to Chloe was so unnecessary.

You guys have to remember that regardless whether Melissa was telling the truth in this situation, she lied to all of them time after time before this. It's exactly like the boy who cried wolf. Christi said on the reunion after this that she thinks their teaching Maddie to lie and if they are it's a shame because she's a great kid. Kelly was the only one who made a comment here at 7:53

[francinecaraso]

Maddie's stronger than me, I'll be talking back to Kelly and Christi if they are calling me a liar and a bad friend.

[AvaStainthorp-ed]

I don’t think Melissa is at fault here, she was just the messenger who didnt convey the message in the best way

[mrpenthousepenguin]

I just want kendall so say
"With Kelly Gone, My little Jill fits in perfectly"😂

People Are Missing The Point That At The End Of The Day ABBY Set This Whole Thing Up ⬆️ And Sabotaged Her Own Students And Once Again Doesn’t Care About Anyone Except Her Favorites

[YemiewithaY]

I feel like this was just a miscommunication. Melissa shouldn’t have said no, and been more clearer (she assumed abby wasn’t going to go through with entering the duet) she could have said:” abby said she might enter it into the competition, but im not sure if she will or not.” All of this could’ve been avoided easily without all the unnecessary drama.

Y’all are going to hate to hear this, but unfortunately Maddie did lie to Chloe 🤷🏽‍♀️ Watching this years later, she was obviously told to by Melissa or Abby. (We all know how much of a liar Melissa & Abby are) Think about it. Why bring a matching duet costume for a dance that they performed the day before? & if you noticed, none of the moms were blaming Maddie for lying & knew she did it due to her mom.

[Acjuteau]

I think wishbone is the best Chloe and Paige have ever danced. And to think they would have won if Abby trusted them to do so and didn't enter Maddie and Kala I against them 😢

[nandikhumalo]

Even though Mellissa does usally lie, it dosent mean that she is ALWAYS goinb to lie bc in this s enario she was telling the truth. And the fact that she called maddie, A 12 YEAR OLD a liar isn't roght at all.

[sweetcreature]

idc what y'all say, Christi was always so rude towards Maddie, no matter what the situation was, she always had something bad to say about a girl

[Acjuteau]

I wonder if Christie and Kelly have ever rewatched this episode and saw what truly went down. Melissa didn't know kalani and Maddie would be doing their duet and she asked for them not to be scored. This was at the start of maddies career outside of dance moms and Melissa didn't want to go against Abby and risk Maddie losing all her opportunities.
I think Christie ne Kelly saw this situation as very black and white when in reality it was a shade of grey..

[zinlueslife]

The storytelling in wishbone was beyond wow 😢💕

[LB-myej]

Melissa did lie a lot and she got caught out so many times.

[murderjai]

maddie did nothing wrong. she did what she always does, listens to what she is told to say/do or what NOT to say/do, if maddie went against abby, we all know how that would’ve played out
