Abby Lee Miller sounds a little salty about not snagging an invite to Lifetime‘s Dance Moms reunion!
Appearing on Bethenny Frankel‘s Just B podcast on Thursday, the controversial dance couch argued she wasn’t featured on the reunion because the cast doesn’t want to acknowledge how much she helped their careers! She dished:
“I think the kids can’t face me because they know they would never be where they are today if it wasn’t for the show.”
After literally JUST admitting to being “harsh” on the series, Abby hit back at claims that she created a “toxic” environment for the kids, too. Of course, she did. LOLz!

Reflecting on her once tight-knit bond with sisters Brooke and Paige Hyland, she recalled:
“There’s two little girls who I was very close to — much closer emotionally and family-wise than any of the other kids. … Their mother was in my original competition team when I was 14 years old. She stayed at my studio. Then she left, got married, had kids [and] brought them to my studio at 2 years old.”
The reality star wondered:
“If this was so toxic for all these kids, why did they come back? The kids came back.”
She also pointed out that “there were other studios in town,” but noted that hers “was the best” while sharing that she’s helped send 25 dancers on to Broadway shows throughout her career. Yeah, so, that’s probably why they came back! She was good at her job — even if her tactics were too intense. Plus, let’s not forget they were making a TV show! That makes it harder to quit!
Despite all the controversy, Abby insisted there were “good times” and that “it was fun” for the girls, who “loved what they were doing.” But she now has a LOT of resentment for their mommas, noting:
“What the show did and the moms did ruined my business. They destroyed my business.”
What the show was doing? Or what she was contributing to? The producers wouldn’t have been able to make her appear as a “down and out, podunk, heavy-set dance teacher” who did nothing but scream, as she described it, if she didn’t provide them with enough content to edit the narrative as such! Just saying!
Thoughts? Sound OFF (below)!
