21 Sep
Summary
- Miller criticized Maddie Ziegler's past involvement in Dance Moms.
- She suggested Ziegler pursued private lessons for victory.
- Miller is collaborating with former rival Cathy Nesbitt-Stein.

Abby Lee Miller, known for her intense coaching on "Dance Moms," has recently reflected on the show's detrimental effect on her relationships with former star pupils. Miller specifically critiqued Maddie Ziegler's past involvement, suggesting that Ziegler's drive for victory and additional private lessons were the primary motivators during their time on the Lifetime series.
Four years after Ziegler described the show as a "toxic environment" and ceased communication in 2016, Miller questioned why Ziegler, a self-proclaimed perfectionist, hadn't expressed these feelings then. This critical assessment comes as Miller embarks on a new project, "Abby vs. Cathy: Hit the 8!," alongside former rival Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, signaling a notable change in their dynamic.
