Dance Moms Cast on Where They Stand With Abby Lee Miller (Exclusive)
Ойын-сауық
The cast of 'Dance Moms' chats with ET's Rachel Smith about where they stand with Abby Lee MIller ahead of the reunion speical, airing May 1 on Lifetime. JoJo Siwa and Kalani Hilliker reveal they're still in touch with their former dance teacher, and they've had contact with her recently. The cast also dicusses the transition from shooting the show to being a 'regular kid,' and the girls reflect on their relationships with their moms.

Kalani’s explanation is so much better than jojo’s. Jojo seems so dismissive of how Abby treated everyone. Kalani acknowledges how poorly abby treated them. She says she’s good with her, but still respects and validates her friends opinions of her as well.

Because JoJo Siwa is a mean girl.
The original girls didn’t know what they were signing up for and that’s the biggest difference here. They were a group of kids attending dance class after school, to a studio they’d grown up in, and one day signed up to do a documentary series that actually turned into a 7 season reality show. They were forced into the industry. Not all the kids wanted fame and to become a star, some of them just wanted to be a normal kid and weren’t prepared for the industry life. Jojo and Kalani knew what they were getting into. Jojo isn’t wrong in what she’s saying, the industry, show business, Hollywood, it’s tough and there are a million Abby’s within it. But the OGs didn’t sign up for that, some of the girls did want to make it and did want to be stars, but some didn’t. Abby was already tough and I’m sure she believed even just running a dance studio that she was part of the industry, but when being offered an opportunity to really get into the industry came knocking she took it seriously and she became even more tougher and expected even more from the girls, not all of them wanted it. Half the reason Brooke and Paige got such a hard time was because Abby wanted them to work harder, they were working hard but they didn’t want to dedicate everything they had to the show. Jojo did, she knew what she was getting into. Abby was awful to the girls, and there isn’t an excuse, but the industry is like this it’s just not always recorded, it’s tough. However these girls were thrown into it and had no option but to put up with Abby’s treatment which got worse the more the season went on and the more they entered further into the industry.

I think it has less to do with what the girls want and more to do with the moms. They knew what they were signing the kids up for
This vid is a perfect example of the difference between Jojo and Kalani. Jojo says that Abby was always right, and doesn't acknowledge the trauma she put all the girls through. Kalani understands what they went though and doesn't justify it or ignore the other girls feelings. She still talks to her, but doesn't blame the others for not. Major respect to Kalani for this ❤

Even if most of the girls don't speak to Abby, I'm sure they acknowledge that Dance Moms gave them the platform and made them stronger. Just because you move on or don't forgive someone doesn't mean you're not thankful.
With peace and love , Jojo shouldn’t have been there being she had a very different experience coming in late whilst being a fan of the show

Jojo, you haven't been on the show for as long. Coming in as a fan, staying for less than 2 seasons, and leaving when you felt like it doesn't validate your opinion more than anyone else's
Jojo and Kalani being there pisses me off and Kendall as well. (more so jojo) cause they didn’t know the Abby that Paige, Brooke and Chloe knew. They met the after-fame Abby, when the TV show was already running. Paige, Brooke and Chloe knew Abby since they were 2 and three years old, They got to see the REAL Abby, and that’s why they don’t thank her for everything as much as the other girls do. They were found WHEN Abby was found, they were not found BECAUSE of Abby, if that makes sense. So they have a right to be uncomfortable with Jojo, Kalani, and Kendall’s opinion because their relationships with Abby were very different.
I wanna see a "Quiet On Set"-style documentary showing all the stuff we didn't see. I can't help but think there must unaired footage of Abby's poor behaviour that production felt was too harsh to show.
Jojo can’t go five minutes without shoving ‘her’ song down people’s throats and adding to the Jojo cringy moments tiktoks

Well bear in mind they all started when they were between the ages of 6-12years old so they all grew up on up on television and were really young, a lot of gen z grew up watching them. Dance moms came out in 2011. I was 11 watching it and wanted to be on the show so bad!!

Kendall is on that filler lol.
Jojo is crazy notice how she kept talking about her ugly music video , and I liked what everyone shared except her
Kendall looks like Maddie with lip fitlers
Kendal is so young and beautiful. Why does she need to get her lips done.
Kalani is so smart she is able to say her opinion while including others opinions and feelings.
None of those girls would be where they are at right now without Dance Moms and Abby Lee.

What a nasty group of moms!! Kristi (Chole's mom) is disgusting. The episode in New Orleans is by far the worse. It showed the real person she is. She tossed a drink out of another mom's hand. When the other mom went for her, she backed off and acted like she was the victim. Typical coward move. Starts a problem and backs off.
Jojo is so irritating….
why are all the comment on lifetime’s channel. Dance moms channel all hating Jojo in these dance moms posts? you guys all seem to hate her so much yet shes been the most talked about person in every video. you guys are all like “why is jojo even here” but the comment sections show that jojo is EASILY the most popular/famous and is bringing the viewers wether its to hate on her or not. yall trynna to say the girls look scared of her when they are making eye contact and listening. nothing jojo said was dismissive and yall all judging her by a 5 second clip about maddie and kenzie without any context. yall love to hate on her so yall found anything more to twist. yall did it while she was on the show also.

It is also because of how JoJo has invalidated experiences from Paige, Brooke, Chloe, Nia, Maddie and Mackenzie, how JoJo still hangs out with Colleen, James and Shane who are problematic and lastly how JoJo and Jess treated the XOMGPOP girls. People who know and are aware of JoJo dislike her because of how problematic she has become.
