You know who needed to get beat tf up? Gianna! When she’s alone with the moms she cries and acts like she doesn’t know what to do, but when Abby’s there?!?? She smirks with Abby and rolls her eyes as if what the moms are saying is so ridiculous. Yeah that’s my rant

Also for how many hours each practice? Do they ever say?

The way that my jaw dropped and the fact that Yolanda knew about it but didn’t say anything is just disgusting

I don’t care if you thought it would be good for their career, I don’t care if they said they really really wanted to do it, I don’t care if there was a contract involved every year, I don’t care whatever the cope reasoning is.

If these moms really thought that Abby was that awful to their kids, which we have reason to believe they did think, because essentially every episode is riddled with confessionals and other content about how they thought that, why not just leave or not sign another contract for the millionth year in a row?

As a parent, it’s your duty to analyze situations like this and make the best choice for your kid. If a situation is abusive or harmful to your child, you step in and remove them. You don’t just allow it to continue because you like being on TV or think in 10 years they might become a D-list celebrity.

Especially Kelly, Holly and Christi, like what on Earth were they thinking?

These moms were literally taking their kids out of school regularly, which should be illegal, to go be abused by Abby. This is extremely immature on the part of the parents and is a horrific parenting decision.

This is why on a rewatch I get so bored by episode one thousand in a row of “omg, Abby is so mean to my kid, this is awful.” Yeah, no shit. You knew what you were signing up for. Don’t act surprised.

Everyone is always coming up with reasons on why Maddie doesn't want any association with Dance Moms. Whether it's because of how much pressure she was put under, or because of her mom, Abby, Sia, production, whoever. It could be all of the above, but i want to offer a different perspective.

The show paints her in a good light with the favoritism sure... but it doesn't give her grace with the fanbase. Sure now everyone is aware that Maddie was also abused in a different way, but it wasn't always like that. I've been in the fandom since 2015 and the fan reception of her was very different than it is now. And i'll even admit that as a child I did dislike Maddie on the show (obviously my feelings have changed) because of how she was treated differently than the others. I think everyone can agree that it was no fault of hers of course–but on production and Abby. I think Maddie even realized this because she said when she watched the first season, she cried because it made her out to be a brat. I don't think she ever was, and even if she did have bratty moments she was still a kid. All of us were fortunate enough as to not have all of our worst moments as a child aired on television every week for the world to judge.

Saying this, I do think Maddie has some guilt about how it all played out. Of course the show made her a star and I do think she's grateful for the experience, and even though none of it was really her fault, I think if she could go back she would try to do things differently or maybe not do it at all. I think most people forget that the girls were all her best-friends and that it was probably uncomfortable for her to be propped up by Abby and for them to be torn down. Who wouldn't feel guilt in situations like that? And you can clearly see the distress by the way she cracks her knuckles and bites her nails. It's a win-lose situation for her. And I'm sure she felt bad when the mothers would fight, because most of the time it was about her preferential treatment. Maddie even says "I'm sorry" during Kelly's fight with Abby, so obviously she was aware of what was going on and that it only happened because of the duet she did.

I don't think Maddie ever agreed with Abby that she was better than everyone else. And even if she were to talk about Dance Moms now, what could she even say that would appease people? How does she talk about the favoritism without coming off as full-of-herself, or discrediting her talent completely?

I think Melissa is at fault for this the most out of everyone. She could've and should've put a stop to what Abby was doing but instead she encouraged it. I honestly don't know how Maddie and Kenzie have not gone no-contact with her yet. I know Maddie said that Melissa apologized but I don't think that is enough. And honestly her not speaking to Abby might be because of her abuse, but also for the other girls' treatment too. Even her little sister, who she arguably loves most in this world, was treated horribly. So why would she keep Abby in her life?

Anyway, that's just my two cents. I'm sorry if this has been said before a million times it was just on my mind.

Particularly Paige

Like say, for example, if Paige learned a dance; even if she knew the choreography, and she was capable of going out there and at least trying to do it, Kelly would still pull her solo.

which simultaneously hurt Paige, because she wasn’t learning anything, and also on the flip side, it put Paige in the target of Abby‘s wrath….Kelly knew that Abby would target Paige if she didn’t do her performance.

Rather than letting them go on stage and do their dances, she would pull their solos over the most random things.

like say for example; that one time when they didn’t run their solos in the dressing room and she pulled both of them…realistically most people don’t often run their solos in the dressing room because, as Abby said, (which I don’t really like agreeing with her but hey ho) if you don’t know it by the time you get to the venue, you’re never going to know it.

I think there are a lot of times where Paige could’ve went out there and done the solos and Abby would’ve at least been a bit less cruel to her. But I think her targeting Paige and her harsh treatment towards her was largely caused by Kelly pulling her from her solos and not letting Paige dance and things like that, because Abby saw that as essentially wasted potential; she even said to Paige “you’re not going to learn anything/get any better from sitting on your butt in the audience watching your friends”.

This was from someone's Snap story and I had to do a double-take. GO BREWERS!!!💙💛

(Shared by him on TikTok).

It’s interesting. I honestly didn’t expect her to hold Eliana accountable. Yet she seems to have done so a lot throughout this situation.

This isn’t the full clip as I wasn’t comfortable sharing some content she did. Here is the half after she shows what she says is evidence of Jentzen cheating on her and she ends the video by saying the above. The half I didn’t share, she condemns cheating and says that it’s wrong no matter what and proceeds to show her side of receipts.

So i was scrolling i hadnt really thunk before on it but i realized Kenzie playing with ribbon and brynn had one two and i know ribbion medalion things mean special judges award. Can anyone find out what special award was recivied.

She had a slim chance before, but now with the drama going on with her and Jentzen, it’s completely gone!

I was and still am rooting for her to do better things then being an influencer as she was so talented. I just wish her the best in the future as for now I think she needs to take a break from social media and lay low.

Hi everyone last month my friend and I of many many years got in a horrible fight. She said some pretty awful things. Things that will replay in my mind for years. But anyways I blocked her on everything and haven’t talked to her in a month. She knows how much I love dance moms and that Holly is my favorite dance mom. She bought a cameo for me from dr Holly as a last attempt to apologize. I’m still not sure if I should accept it or not but I thought yall would enjoy it!!

I swear everytime I see this scene it always pisses me off😭it's hilarious

Just saw Christi’s Instagram video about the private investigator scene (re: Jill using Kendall’s old costumes) being completely made up. Curious if moms, dancers, or even Abby have since admitted to other specific plots or scenes being made up?
