Dance Moms’ Abby Lee Miller Fires Back After Maddie Ziegler Calls Reality Show Toxic: ‘I Know What I Did’ for Her
17.06.2022 - 00:17 / usmagazine.com
They’re not leaving it on the dance floor. Abby Lee Miller is weighing in after former Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler claimed the reality show was a “toxic” environment.
“What I don’t understand [about] the pressure, the ‘toxic’ situation — if it was so toxic, why did you keep doing it?” the former Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition judge, 56, retorted in a YouTube video posted on Wednesday, June 15. “I had to [and] I tried to quit many a time and I was forced to come back to set because I signed a contract.”
Miller added: “Newsflash: the kids in the original cast never had a contract. The moms had a contract, but the kids, well … they were just kind of there on a handshake. I thought [Maddie] wanted to be there. If she said, ‘I don’t want to go, I’m not going,’ kicking and screaming, stomping her feet, I’m sure her mother wouldn’t have brought her — or she would have come and talked to me about it.

For the longest time, we felt so guilty,” the Fallout star claimed earlier this month. “She trained me, she helped me, but also, I knew I would be OK without her and I was sick of being in a toxic environment. I was like, ‘This is not for me. I can’t do this.’ I haven’t spoken to her since. I feel at peace.”
The reality TV series — which ran for eight seasons on Lifetime — premiered in 2011, showcasing the weekly schedule of the ALDC’s junior elite competition team and the lengths their mothers went to get them to the top of the pyramid. The team originally consisted of Ziegler and her younger sister, Mackenzie Ziegler, as
