Miller Claps Back at Maddie Ziegler's Toxic Environment Claims
27 Aug
Summary
- Miller questions Ziegler's past silence on alleged toxic environment.
- Miller claims she supported Ziegler during her parents' divorce.
- Miller argues Ziegler could have voiced concerns earlier.
Abby Lee Miller has directly addressed comments made by former Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, who previously described the show's environment as toxic. Miller publicly questioned Ziegler's motives for speaking out now, suggesting she could have easily communicated any discomfort during their time together.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Miller pointed to instances where she claims to have been a significant support for Ziegler, including during her parents' divorce in 2011. The Dance Moms instructor implied that Ziegler's desire for competitive success and private lessons was a driving force, and that she could have expressed any reluctance to be in the spotlight or win weekly.
Miller believes Ziegler had ample opportunity to voice her feelings about solo performances and the constant pursuit of victory. The dance coach's statements suggest a defensive stance against Ziegler's past accusations regarding the show's demanding atmosphere and its impact on young performers.
