Chloe & Maddie were the ones compared to each other the most & Chloe’s comments were the classy & considerate ones.

[bobbelfie]

The way Maddie’s abuse is still being dismissed by literally the entire cast and crew and lifetime is leaving a bad taste in my mouth she was a child

[Anonymouslittlebee]

Of course lifetime was going to profit from Maddie's name. Y'all can't leave that girl in peace, she doesn't want anything to do with this show!!!! Respect her decision!!!!

[caylasciulli]

This doesn't seem like Maddie's iconic moments. This just seems like a compilation of the girls being compared to Maddie.

[emilyr]

It’s kinda crazy they did this segment without Maddie there to share her side lol

[m.d.]

They cut out the part where they took away Chloe's win. All this talk about "closure" and "healing, " but how about some accountability from the producers? It wasn't only Abby who traumatized these girls.

I'm so happy Maddie, Kenzie, and Nia didn't come to the reunion. Based on things ive been seeing lately Jojo, Kalani, and Kendall are obviously very bitter towards Maddie. Not to mention the way lifetime portrayed Maddie as a villain and possibly protrayed the Zeiglers family dynamic in a way that wasn't true. Ether way I love the REAL ogs.

[LucyAnna]

I’m convinced Lifetime has something against Maddie

[TwistedApple]

thank god we didn't have to hear jojo's input on maddie

[jessienerdis]

I really feel they shouldn't talk about people who aren't present nor agreed to be talked about

[TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Maddie made the right move skipping the reunion!

[Jessica-rwnr]

Everybody says that Maddie has it easy. SHe did not. She had so much pressure from such a young age to always be on top.

[yellappad]

Kendall saying she was "the 2nd girl" or whatever is absurd. No, she wasnt even close to being "Abby's second best" that was Chloé she wasn't even close 3rd but ok.

[samvulcan]

Kendall claiming she was second option is wild, she wasn’t even the third option until Brooke and Paige left

[washh]

I think Maddie was also definitely traumatized by Abby due to the fact it’s been confirmed she was told by Abby no one liked her and everyone was jealous of her. A lot of people may think of her as a brat despite her being 7-8 around the times she made the comments which most of them were producers telling her what to do I notice this because she usually speaks very eloquently for her age yet when she makes the comments about being “ better “ than the other girls she speaks less eloquently and more like she’s forgetting lines in a script. I highly thing Maddie was set up to look like this awful person when she was younger so people in the show wouldn’t like her and some of this hate and bullying from the shows manipulated storylines carries over into now, where I think Maddie is still being bashed despite her becoming a nice young woman. I think that Maddie despite the favoritism suffered too. I’m not trying to put down the girls trauma but I think they were equally just as traumatized.

[tjwait]

That poor little girl. I know Maddie’s an adult now, but my heart breaks for the jealousy and spiteful comments thrown her way even now. She was a stunning little performer. She was amazing. The jealousy was, and still is, sickening.

[Zop-kq]

No matter how much everyone slandered maddie it was true that she is a really good dancer, everytime she was on stage i couldn't take my eyes off of her she was amazing

[gizemb]

These are not Maddies Iconic moments though, its just everytime they were put against her...

[happyblackwoman]

Maddie, Mackenzie, and Melissa have every right to not want anything to do with the reunion. Who wants to go somewhere to relive their mental trauma when they're trying to heal?

[nikiyabayaderegimo]

The fact that the Ziegler sisters refused to be apart of the reunion because it was a toxic environment for them, and that they STILL bring Maddie as the others's rivalry is wild. She made the choice to REFUSE to be apart of it because of the toxicity of the producers, and they STILL make the others girls (who are her friends) talk about her, leave her alone !
