Chloe was setup to fail more than any other girl in any season. She never acted a brat or threw a fit. She always took what was given to her and tried her best. This is why I can’t watch the new team. The original girls were so easy to love. These new girls act out with any minor inconvenience. It’s almost like watching toddlers in tiaras.

[iluvbears]

Season 8 dance moms is overtly toxic. They are really going and arguing with these kids.

[bellak]

I think when gianina said Abby’s words & opinion doesn’t matter she was referencing Abby’s opinion on who she wanted/thought was going to win since that’s what Brady’s mom asked her..

[colleenkyle]

Wow the moms actually target the children, when the original group never even thought about arguing in front of their own children.

[teddysabev]

the fact that gia was a ballerina in the greatest showman and they have the audacity to say she's not a professional.

[cassidyrose]

The fact that Ashley and Stacy think its okay to literally BULLY a child for being a child is beyond embarrassing. Like shes a KID.

[doreenzahra]

Last time I was here the empty chair was going to do a solo.

[BodaciousALDC]

honestly, i feel bad for gianina. i know some things she said we’re not right, but the producers definitely influenced/edited some of her language. it’s not her fault, and she doesn’t deserve the hate she gets.

[hellou]

Gianina says her words got twistet but she literally said that

[greentea]

3:00 I know that both poverty and cancer are issues, but it kind of upsets me that abby is trying to invalidate a kid's emotions because "someone has it worse". just because someone has it worse doesn't mean she has no right to be upset. there is ALWAYS going to be someone who has it worse and its important to express emotions because they're human.

[alanna]

I think Gianina was misunderstood with her choice of words. I think she meant to say Abby’s “mean” words and opinions don’t matter. Ashley and Stacey just wanted a reason to get Joanne and her daughter somehow in trouble with Abby.

[cicispizzza]

The fact that the moms literally target the kids is so sick.

[vaporated]

i have a theory that abby continuously targeted gia because she already had accomplished so much before the show that abby couldn’t claim that she “made her” like she does for all her dancers

[twbfuif]

The moms this season are absolutely vile. I cant even watch them without punching my screen. I miss the old cast :(

[kaitlyntan]

is nobody’s gonna talk about how brady, pressley and hannah were just dancing in the background at 1:58 💀💀

[taloulalila]

People need to know the difference between being a brat and standing up for yourself, the fact that she was even brave enough to stand up for herself in front of abby is incredible

[laurenniedzialek]

I absolutely cannot stand the hypocrisy, because Stacey had no problem attacking Gianina and Joanna for saying that Jazz isn’t their favorite style and just saying they don’t really like the dance. We’re forgetting that STACEY LITERALLY made the first episode of the season all about herself because she thought Lily was too good for acro.

[dancingrick]

Gia looks like she just really wanted to be able to show abby what she could do and win for her, but she seems like she didn’t want to show that she was doubting the choreo because it wasn’t as competitive as Hannah’s.

[nonu]

Last time I was early abby told the students to save the tears for the pillow
