The Truth Behind Dance Moms Is Much Darker Than You Think..

You guys, Dance Moms was a MESS from start to finish, and I’m sure you’ve heard a LOT about some of the things that have gone down, but it’s truly shocking how traumatising this show was for the girls. From bullying and inappropriate performances to actual racism, the show literally had it all. So let’s just get into the dark history of how dance moms turned into hell for all contestants involved.

Imagine the amount of trauma the girls have. Getting criticized publicly hurts a lot...

“the moms are not any better when it comes to body-shamming” girly, that foul woman harassed their children mentally by body-shamming she DESERVES to taste her own medicine. im all about kindness and such but evil being like abby (mind you she doesn’t regret doing all these up till now) deserves all horrible things she got herself in. it’s called consequence.

Fun fact: part of Kelly’s lawsuit against Abby was how she told nia she didn’t want a tootie on her team. To cover it up.. it was cut out. The girls were all hugging Nia and crying . The producers gave them all iPads to excuse this situation. This is called the “iPad situation “

(this is a racist term. Tootie was the only black character on an 80’s show)

Kendall Vertes (Jill's daughter) said it herself that the girls were 8-11 years old and Abby would call them: "fat, skinny, washed up, ugly" etc. The amount of therapy the girls got after the show ended shows how much Abby's words and actions affected them. They also shared that the whole scripted drama between the moms and Abby sometimes turned into serious arguments and fights, the girls were locked up in the bathrooms or dressing rooms and waited for their mothers to pick them up and go home.

You can tell holly really cares about all the girls because she said “girls out the room” and holly could of say “Nia get out the room

She's so proud about abusing them girls and who knows how many of them are suffering from eating disorders because of her.

honestly i feel bad for the girls who got trauma from abby..

The people blaming the parents more than Abby are crazy. Yes, maybe sometimes the parents made it worse for the kids but it was Abby, that was abusing the kids and putting favoritism. It's also the producer's fault, since they directed the show and made Abby say some things but Abby still chose to say it and go too far. If you say it was the parents' fault for keeping their kids out there, they signed a contract with the show which means that they can't leave/very hard to leave.

At what point does this become child abuse? This is emotional abuse at the very least! Why would parents subject their kids to this kind of trauma? Money? Hell no!

I feel bad for all the girls and I hope they are getting better treatment from all their dance teachers now

i’ve gone to the aldc a few times since it closed and it’s SO depressing and honestly creepy. it’s run down and looks abandoned and probably much better reflects the reality of its past. i also drive past abby’s house every time i go to my boyfriend’s, it’s so weird to live in the same town where they all grew up knowing it could’ve been me, i don’t need more trauma 🥴🫠

“My little Kendall would be perfect for the role of Rosa parks” that line still gets me

[L_boogiedahood]

I feel bad for all of the girls. No one should be getting body shamed because of their weight. That is just messed up. Abby has given all the girls trauma and mental issues.

[ItEvelyn-]

the fact that Abby is body shaming the poor girls when she weighs pounds…

[stefanieguerrieri]

She's freaking commenting on their bodies like has she seen herself wtf

[g_millsvolleyball]

brooke smiling in the back while holly was yelling at abby was everything:

[officialJOY]

The “producer’s” of that show are truly evil. I’m not giving passes to the mother’s who allowed their children the abuse of Abby, but I’ve seen actual production notes about that show-Those producer’s…Reprehensible 🤮.

[BatshtPassionate]

Those girls didn't deserve any of that.. they're all so beautiful the way they always were. Horrible adult

[janaebrown]

Im glad Nia had Holly as a support. Ain't no way she'd have made it through otherwise.

[JosephineBryantYT.]

Those women deserved much better than that for all their hard work, effort and responsibilities. They're all beautiful and really deserve to achieve their dreams as dancers and models saying "Screw you Abby, see us shine! We are proud and We love our audiences!"
