Abby Lee Miller has had enough, so she’s quitting the show.
In a straightforward message on Instagram, Abby — the woman behind ALDC aka the Abby Lee Dance Company — says she will “no longer take part in Dance Moms .”
Abby Lee explains that she feels disrespected and manipulated by the Lifetime show’s producers.
The dance-based reality show was a near instant hit that spawned serious breakout talent, including Maddie Ziegler , Chloe Lukasiak , Jordyn Jones , JoJo Siwa and more.
Abby Lee , the hard-as-nails dance instructor, just wrapped filming on season 7b.
Of course, that begs the question: Is there still a Dance Moms without Abby Lee ? What do you think?
See Abby’s full, lengthy statement after the jump…
The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement: I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS. FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING – TO NO AVAIL! TODAY, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I WENT AGAINST THE PRODUCER'S IDEA (ONCE AGAIN) TO ENTER A COMMAND PERFORMANCE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS… "WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?" ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS! I don't have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people's children successful! I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT! #dancemoms #season7 #ALDC #aldcalways #newbeginnings #aldcla #alllovedancecourage
