Following the news Abby Lee Miller was quitting Dance Moms after six years on the show, the hit Lifetime reality series has tapped Dancing With the Stars alum Cheryl Burke as her replacement.
Abby had plenty to say about the news, though she seems to be genuinely happy for Cheryl.
“I think that’s great,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t think she’s replacing me, I think it’s going to be a different vibe.”
She also suggested Cheryl‘s experience will be different. “I bet you she’s treated differently,” she explained. “I bet you the budget is different, and I bet you she is never driving her car, with her gas, looking for fabric on her feet.”
Abby also got deeply emotional on the interview, saying: “I quit because I don’t want to fight for a great idea, I don’t want to fight for better music, I don’t want to fight for a bigger costume budget.”
Dance Moms producers have a different take on Abby leaving the show.
Fans of the hit series Dance Moms are shocked after Abby Lee Miller posted on Instagram yesterday that she is quitting the show.
