Would Abby Lee Miller finish her feud with former pupil and co-star Maddie Ziegler? She is giving followers a solution as soon as and for all.
As it’s possible you’ll know, there was some unhealthy blood between the Abby Lee Dance Studio founder and the Ziegler household ever since Maddie left Dance Moms. The 20-year-old dancer beforehand opened up about her experiences on the collection, telling Cosmopolitan final yr that Abby created a “toxic environment.” She defined:
“She was distraught [when I left]. For the longest time, we felt so guilty. She trained me, she helped me, but also, I knew I would be okay without her and I was sick of being in a toxic environment. I was like, ‘This is not for me. I can’t do this.’ I haven’t spoken to her since. I feel at peace.”

While this didn’t come as a shock to followers who witnessed the instructor’s harshness whereas working with younger dancers for years on the present, Abby had been shocked by the feedback from Maddie on the time:
“Newsflash: The kids in the original cast never had a contract. The moms had a contract, but the kids, well … they were just kind of there on a handshake. I thought [Ziegler] wanted to be there. … If she said, ‘I don’t want to go, I’m not going,’ kicking and screaming, stomping her feet, I’m sure her mother wouldn’t have brought her — or she would have come and talked to me about it. She never did that.”
Abby clearly wasn’t too proud of Maddie again then. But the place do they stand at this time following the confrontation? Well, the pair haven’t reconciled that’s for positive! The 57-year-old tv persona spoke about her relationship with Maddie on the newest episode of Sofia Franklin’s Sofia with an F podcast. When requested if Abby would reconcile with Maddie, she revealed that it could be onerous for them to finish their rift since there was “a lot of ugly darkness there”:
“I can’t really separate Maddie from her sister and her mother, and there is some … I don’t want to use the term ‘bad blood,’ but there are some devastating things there.”
What kind of “devastating things” is she speaking about right here? Abby went on to assert that her feud with the household primarily stems from the truth that she’s jaded over the discharge of Mackenzie Ziegler’s 2014 music It’s A Girl Party. According to the dance teacher, she had funded the challenge and was not given something in return from the monitor following its success. Seriously? Abby defined:
“A song that went to No. 1 in three countries on iTunes, ‘It’s a Girl Party.’ I produced it. I bought the song. I did everything for that child. Mack Z was my creation. The video itself was $27,000 and I got my $27,000 back immediately because the video went to No. 1 too, but I’ve never seen one penny from the music. And I had a 360 deal with Mackenzie. So where is it?”
Hmm. Considering these two had been youngsters when this occurred, why not name out their mother Melissa as an alternative? Why feud with Maddie? It’s a tad unusual to be holding this huge of a grudge over one thing that occurred once they had been children. Just saying. Ultimately, Abby made it clear she could be prepared to talk to Maddie if she made the primary transfer and reached out. You can see a clip from the interview (beneath):
