Abby Lee Miller's Latest 'Dance Moms' Breakdown Was Emotional

Publish date: 2024-06-25

If you’ve ever watched Dance Moms, you know that dance studio owner Abby Lee Miller always has some sort of drama going on. Whether she’s getting arrested, sued, or arguing with the parents who are paying her their hard-earned money to teach their children to dance, there’s never a dull moment at the Abby Lee Dance Company.

The latest dispute happening at the ALDC comes after Abby’s return following a three-week-long absence from her dance studio. Understandably, the dance moms were severely frustrated by Miller’s lack of attendance. Miller is not known to ever back down from a fight, but surprisingly, this latest argument had her in tears as opposed to her usual face of anger.

A sneak-peek at the episode shows Abby Lee Miller in tears while speaking to the dancers’ parents. Fighting through tears, Miller says, “"I think the biggest issue for me is that my coming back would be a bad thing. Kendall, from the day she walked in the studio, I thought this kid's face has to be somewhere. I don't know if you would have been able to do this for Kendall without me."

Kendall is renowned for being one of Abby Lee Dance Company’s best dancers, especially after front-runner Maddie departed from the troupe. Kendall has appeared in multiple music videos and won an uncountable number of awards thanks to the ALDC.

Miller continues with her speech, saying, “I built a building. $298,000 that I built so your kids could have a place to dance. I spent a lot of money. You guys didn't. I feel like a whore. I regret everything."

Whether Miller is on the right or wrong side of this argument has yet to be considered, as there are always multiple different viewpoints when it comes to Dance Moms—there’s the dancers’ perspective, the moms’, and then Abby’s.

However, Holly, mother of dancer Nia Frazier, believes that Miller's  absence actually had some good come out of it, as she said that the dancers “learned a lot about themselves” and it allowed them to do a lot of “soul searching.”

During Miller’s unexpected absence, famed choreographer Laurieann Gibson stood in to help coach the girls. Gibson is known for choreographing dances for celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and Alicia Keys.

It seems as though we can expect a very drama-filled season of Dance Moms, as this incident was filmed a week before Miller’s bankruptcy fraud sentence. We can only assume that this will bring on even more craziness from Millers and the dance moms.

Dance Moms airs on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. Pacific on Lifetime.
