Before ever appearing on “Dance Moms” and placing third on season one of “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition,” eight-year-old YouTube sensation Asia Monet had already traveled the world to showcase her singing and dancing talents. In “Raising Asia,” cameras follow the rising star as she strives to take her career to the next level with the help of model mother Kristie, famous record-holding bodybuilder father Shawn and younger sister, Bella Blu, who are there every step of the way to support Asia’s journey to the top.

they always say dealing with a personality like asia or acted like asia was so difficult, but it seemed more like asia was the one dealing with her mothers outrageous personality

[nancy-bujm]

that “tantrum” definitely wasn’t over the hot chocolate. they were putting way too much stress on that child.

[Wrennie_bird]

The "tantrum" wasn't over hot chocolate, it was over a mother not providing for her child. You stop for special drinks, and everyone gets one EXCEPT the child, of course she's going to be upset. Be parents, not performers.

[elfshiine]

bella in her pink car following them had me going.

[fabi]

Asia just wanted to drink something else than water cause everyone else had a fancy drink too.... and she's just a kid I mean come on

[angelamitchell]

Bella didn't seem worried about leaving her mom just her dad

[Leah-ysbg]

she was 8. they're treating her like she's supposed to have control over all her emotions and be super grateful, but then hype her up and always tell her how amazing she is. that's so confusing for an 8 year old, going back and forth like that it's no wonder she'd be upset by that and i'd hardly even call that a tantrum, she just cried a little. poor Asia and Bella. they have to stop treating them like celebrities they can play with whenever it suits them and start treating their kids as kids.

[thefrug]

never thought that a child wanting hot chocolate would be labeled as a tantrum she’s a little girl and literally they were doing too much she’s 8 years old and does t want everything and wasn’t throwing a tantrum the child just wanted something besides water every kid wants anything besides water and the child didn’t say she wanted caffeine which starbucks also has a verity of other drinks that they could’ve very much took her to go see and pick out something with no dairy and no caffeine

[rbs]

Bella trying to follow her family to Vegas was precious😭

The way Asia was treated by her parents on that car ride actually had ME upset. That was NOT a tantrum. That was an 8y/o child being overly stressed, overworked and very upset because she was the only one that wasn't even given an option to get something to drink. It's the parents' job to figure out what a child can have if they can't have dairy for whatever reason, not the child's. Asia did not act spoiled - she was purposefully left out, which she knew and was sad about, and it seems like this didn't happen the first time. And when people are sad, they cry. Period.
Shame on the parents!

[renitagerholdt]

I feel so bad that so much pressure is put upon a child. She should be playing and having fun instead of working. You are only young for a very short time and have the rest of your life working. These type of parents make me sick! Living their dream and profiting from their child.

[Abby-cluu]

Asia’s “tantrum” was definitely not about not getting hot chocolate. It was all the stress and pressure this 8 year old girl had been given and on top of that she was left out not getting a drink from Starbucks and again she’s 8 so ovc she would feel left out.

[ryleigh]

“A personality like asias” that baby wanted a freaking hot chocolate. She works hard, she should be able to have a special drink.

[foreverme]

I feel really bad for Bella she’s being left behind on everything

[---drvz]

Crying and voicing your frustrations isn’t a tantrum. She made her thoughts known, allowed herself to physically show her emotions and tried to isolate herself the best she could in order to give herself time to get over it (putting the blanket over her head) when most kids would’ve kept carrying on, kicking their feet, and yelling until they either tired themselves out or got what they wanted. And not to mention it’s rude for everyone to have a special drink from Starbucks and she just got nothing; nobody wants to be left out like that, no matter how old they are.

[chazzysletterr]

Bella makes the show 100x better

Edit: I forgot about this comment so anyways for those saying that “the show isn’t about her” I know the show isn’t about her I’m saying that she was funny and made the show (for me) more enjoyable

[thecraftykingdomking]

Couldn’t they have asked for a dairy free hot chocolate??? I’m sure they could’ve substituted it with almond milk

[briannahopkins]

How the conversation should have went:

"Can I have anything to drink except water?"
"Sure! As long as you stay away from dairy and caffeine. You can have juice or a flavored water if you'd like. Or a soda."

Boom. Tantrum avoided.

[solangelcubas]

asia saying “it’s kinda sad that we have to leave bella behind” and then bella “i’m a little bit better than asia” 😭

[jellybeans]

Asia didn't have " a big personality" or whatever. She's a kid that wanted to enjoy special drink like every one else.
