Abby wasn’t even invited to the recent Dance Moms reunion special! Can you believe it? She’s feeling snubbed, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. Abby called out the producers for recycling old footage and trying to make her look bad.
Abby’s had her fair share of legal troubles, including allegations of racism. Adriana Smith, a former Dance Moms mom, accused Abby of making a racist remark against her daughter Kamryn during season eight of the show. Abby didn’t deny it; instead, she offered a heartfelt apology, saying she genuinely understood and deeply regretted her words. It was a shocking revelation that rocked the Dance Moms community and left fans questioning Abby’s behavior.
And let’s not forget about Maddie Ziegler, who left the “toxic environment” of Abby’s studio back in 2016.
Abby’s legal woes don’t end there. In 2014, she faced a lawsuit for assault from Paige Hyland, who was just 13 at the time. Paige, now 23, also filed an emotional distress lawsuit against Abby. Though the legal battle was intense, the lawsuit was eventually dropped, stirring up controversy and speculation.
Despite these challenges, Abby has confronted even greater personal struggles. From battling Burkitt lymphoma to serving time in prison for fraud, she’s faced her fair share of ups and downs. Yet, Abby remains resilient. In a candid 2019 interview with Us Weekly, she shared how these experiences have shaped her outlook. While navigating the pressures of the dance world and dealing with moms can be tough, Abby has learned to stay composed and not let adversity get the best of her.
And she’s putting all that behind her and focusing on her next chapter. Abby recently sold her Pittsburgh dance studio for $300,000 – talk about a bittersweet moment!
