Aida Beyene she’s only tough on her students so they have what it takes to become professional dancers as they all want to be. The dance industry is competitive and her students have a huge advantage because of the standards she has. In a professional dance audition if you can’t repeat an entire routine after seeing it once, you’re out. If you can’t stand out from a room of 100, you’re out. She’s preparing them for the cut throat, don’t care about you tiny dance industry thousands of people are fighting to be a part of.
@@blairjr2570 except there are plenty of other dance teachers with kids in the industry not acting or doing what abby did to kids. Plus for the fact it is indeed a show, however she goes to far when she talks about things to the kids, that don't make kids better dancers at all. The kids on dance moms now want exposure. Nothing wrong with that hopefully people read those contracts better, before signing them, including Abby.
Or you could watch the video where she talks about who really committed the fraud maybe and get the other side of her story, the MM&M foundation #justsaying
She was sued for mental abuse, and a member even left the group because they couldn't deal with Abby being so rude. Let's not forget the reason why she was even in jail for that matter.
Yuri Katsuki That doesn’t mean she deserves cancer. 🙄I personally don’t like her either but I wouldn’t wish a life threatening disease on her. All they said was they wish her a speedy recovery and you’re pulling up her record like that justifies her life ending.
January Babe um, no. She emotionally abused so many people, nonetheless, children, and she has done illegal things. Some people just don't feel empathy for her when she had cancer.
Yuri Katsuki You really don’t need to repeat yourself. Nobody said she didn’t do those things. Wanting her to recover doesn’t mean we condone what she’s done in the past. So you lack empathy good for you but you’re not gonna tell us how to feel about another human being going through that.
January Babe 1. I'm not telling you how to feel. 2. I don't lack empathy 3. If an emotional abuser gets cancer, are a lot of people gonna feel empathy for them? she is an emotional abuser to children, most people wouldn't empathize with her since she's done such a thing, should people be more forgiving? Thats another argument.
My child was amazing at tennis. She started practicing the sport with a screaming coach. She learned. She was great! However, she would be defeated by her self doubt. I introduced her to another coach who only communicated when she did what was correct. He would say, “Repeat what you just did.” They would do the same stroke over and over. It became part of her muscle memory. Most times he would just clap with his racquet. Her mind quieted and confidence grew. RIP Coach Bobby McKee.
Clearly the girls loved and missed her or that wouldn't have run to hug her at the end of the video.. my daughter says she wants Abby to be her teacher..
Fuck you,you know that cause now on season 8 of dance moms she’s nicer now and the fact that you say that she should of been in jail longer than the time she was in is just fucking rude what if you were famous and your fans say “ she should’ve stayed in jail longer!😡”how would that make you feel?! HUH how would that make you feel?! BAD right?!Abby has been doing this for more than 31 years she knows technique she knows what’s right or wrong so her screaming at younger children is for they own good and for there learning experience!So Abby has had cancer and gone the jail so what?! She came back and feels stronger like she can do anything!And you know what she came back to the ALDC and gave these kids and herself a second chance! So don’t you dare tele her that because in the end your wrong and you know it and this isn’t just for you it’s for anybody reading this that is against Abby!So anybody that is against Abby you can go and F yourself cause you don’t have a reason to be against her!Soo BYE!
sapphire22011 someone screaming while standing at a desk is a lot different than someone in authority standing over your bed and yelling in your face to provoke you.
I agree with Abbey. Instead of having Lori and Felicity go to prison and our taxes pay for their incarceration and for their lawyers to get richer--why not have them spend their own money and build inner city schools????Get creative with sentencing for these non violent criminals. Plus it is a service to a depressed area.
She wasn’t crying/complaining about being mistreated in jail. The interviewer asked and she answered, she is as tough as she wants her students to be. She might be hard on them but she does it for a reason. And none of them will bad mouth her because even though she was tough she taught them so much and prepared them for life in the spotlight.
I absolutely believe Abby. I was in jail for 1 month in the county & some of the guards mostly the women guards were so ignorant & let that power get to their head. They would kick my bed & embarrass me. Everyone was so LOUD & you have no privacy. The guards would yell your personal business so all other inmates could head. I've grown since then but I was still a person. But Abby kind of got a taste of her own medicine... Karma maybe for how she treated the girls on her dance moms show. I still love watching Abby!
I hate how people confuse tough love with abuse, as a dancer I have had teachers who were very tough on me and made me work harder and I have other teachers who have compared me to others and it just made me insecure. Abby abused all students she came in contact with in one way or another. Abby constantly told other girls to be like Maddie and tried to turn maddie against her friends. I hope she has changed because she is a horrible person
You are so right, Stephanie. And one could see the absolute JOY and PLEASURE that Abby derived from yelling, screaming at the girls, abusing them, being downright dictatorial, nasty, and foul. I doubt she has learned any humility from her time in jail ~ she got off very lightly, being released early.
also she said the most uncomfortable things abt the girls, like when she said nia's old enough to get married and have kids in some countries cause she was 12 like what...dont speak about children like that
I am so glad you’re doing well Abby lee you beat the cancer I am so proud of you🙏🏻❤️😇 And I am so glad that you are out of prison please don’t ever go back 💃👯♀️
Go Abby! I believe in you! If you can yell at those kids intil they cry you can fight cancer! I have cerebral palsy it’s a congenital disorder of movement muscle tons or posture. I’ve had it sense before I was born. It’s on my right side. I need to wear a brace on my right leg and arm. If it wasn’t for my therapist and all my doctors I wouldn’t be able to walk and I wouldn’t be where I am today. It’s been a hard journey also dealing with my Epilepsy but it’s worth it. And if I didn’t have this then I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I hope you get back up and walking. Keep believing in yourself. At least that’s what I did and look where I am today. Anyway now I’m ten and I still have many obstacles to face but I’ll keep doing my best!
well said Giselle, prayer helps in every situation and if the rest of you don't get that a lot of her 'meanness' is for the camera then you are very easily taken in by the media. God bless you Giselle x
Abby needs to "repent" of her bullying, nasty, vicious ways towards children. However, it appears she has not changed. I think she was very lucky to serve only less than a year in jail for effectively trying to hide close to a million dollars from the US Government ~ that's cheating ALL other US taxpayers. Nasty !
@@drspaseebo410 have you actually read any of the other comments on this thread? for instance the majority of the children and their mothers said the shouting and bullying was just to make good tv and that's not who she really is and regarding the money, you need to do your research on where she has tried to prove the money went because it wasn't to her.
For all of y'all that r saying "that's what u get for screaming @ children," bruh she's A DANCE TEACHER/COACH. My dance teacher stays calling ppl out and yelling @ us. It's normal
My dance dance teachers yelled yes. But it was also encouraging. They didn’t make personal attacks or degrade me if I didn’t place first. No, that’s not normal
it’s so crazy bc i’ve been watching abby (dance moms) since i was 6 i’m 14 now and i remember her being unstoppable and never being told what to do. Sending my prayers to Abby Lee.
@@CB394 Huh? Then why didn't she ask a realistic question?...LOL. Abby should have said..."Oh, s'poze when the battery goes dead on my wheelchair, then I might take a shot at walking." Haha!
Some act as though Abby Lee Miller is simply being a diva about this experience but she's not. This happening all over the United States to inmates, those famous and those not famous. Prisoners being treated worse than animals are allowed to be treated and it's wrong! Abby is not a criminal. Did she break the law? Yes. That doesn't make what happened to her in prison okay. And I agree with her. What was the point, what is the point of putting people behind bars that society doesn't need protection from?! Why are we letting people sit around in prison when they should be out paying for their crimes with work! Work with community service, spending their money on those less fortunate, having to live a life that is not that of a celebrity but of one that is responsible for their actions. Abby Miller always agreed that she was guilty but what good did her time in prison do anyone? She was punished illegally by prison staff, not believed when she said her back hurt and missed early detection for cancer because of this. She can't walk! I think justice has been served. But maybe it could have been served by her actually doing time by spending her time working for free. Not getting bullied around a federal prison.
McKenzie hence why the comment said "danger to society" yes it's understandable what happened was against the law but it does not make sending Abby to prison and be abused justifiable for an act that does not post a threat to society - unlike murderers which in that case do need to be put behind bars. Just like what others said, alternatives can be given to those who are in similar situations like Abby, perhaps community service or a fine?
After reading this post, I wanted to add some information to the subject. Private Prisons are taking over the Prison Systems in many states. These mega corporations are corrupt, buy political favor and are not being held accountable for their unethical and inhumane treatment of prisoners. These state sponsored, "businesses" warehouse prisoners for unheard of years and ignore State and federal regulations and laws.. They over-ride parole boards so they can keep the cash flowing into their corporations and rarely do even deserving inmates get a second opportunity at life. They sustain their mass incarceration and money faucets because they are paid per day by the state or fed on a per-inmate basis. (The more humans beings they can cram into their prisons at the lowest cost, the more money they make. They spend next to nothing on rehab, decent food, or health for ordinary human needs. Rachel is absolutely correct, the prisoners are treated worse than animals. They are disrespected, humiliated, dominated intimidated and sometimes even tortured. They are severely overcrowded, sometimes up to 4 or 5 per tiny cell with minimal space designed for 2. You can imagine the riots, chaos, injuries and death suffered by hundreds of prisoners per year, because conditions, inhumane treatment and hopelessness, drives inmates to violent mental and physical limits of madness from being warehoused, abused both mentally and physically around the clock for years upon years, with nothing constructive whatsoever to do. Prison is no bowl of cherries even under regulated and humane circumstances...but the privatization of mass incarceration may very correctly be called modern-day slavery. Please believe me Folks, research, statistics and interviews show all these facts to be true! These evil vile corporation and those who operate participate and control the Private Prison scenario have monetized human misery and they have become so big, powerful, rich and backed by paid off politicians that they ignore and thumb their noses at the thousands of lawsuits filed by helpless inmate families while continuing to commit these atrocities without penalty, regulation or conscience. Just some FYI, on the subject.
Knee problems really suck. I hope that she can start walking soon. No matter your opinion on her, pain in your joints are mentally and physically agonizing
What she is saying is so true. I have family that works in the prison system the staff treats them like crap. They do not treat them like humans. I know nurses who do stuff they should never be doing but because they are working in a prison they don’t care. I’m sad to say but I don’t think anything will be done.
I never watched that show,reality shows IMO are ridiculous..from what I've heard,prison can be like that even if you're not famous..just like there are some a-hole cops there are a-hole prison guards..but just like cops,not all of them are jerks..she doesn't seem tough or a fighter to me..to me she seems like a person who thinks she's better than most people
It’s so common for the staff of a jail or prison to mistreat you. They know your incarcerated and that you rely on them to bring you soap, toilet paper, tampons/pads etc..I can’t even tell you how many times girls would be on their period and the guards refuse to bring you a pad and if by chance they do you can’t use it cause they don’t give you underwear to stick it to. They will make you wait for hours to get a roll of toilet paper and if you ask again they won’t bring it at all (most of the time they don’t) eventually we made a schedule of which guards were going to be working on what day and would have to ask the few nice ones for things like that. They gave us spoiled juice and they knew it and didn’t bring us no drink. The gas for the kitchen went out and they fed us sandwiches 3 times a day for 3 days and if they don’t like you and your lawyer comes to see you they won’t let you they will turn them away. It’s wrong and illegal nobody was in trouble to not be able to get a visit from their lawyer. The guards are rude and disrespectful. Oh and good luck with the nurses. They don’t care. I got food poisoning and the night guard told her when the nurse came in how sick I was and She waited 6 hours before she checked on me and then refused to give me something for nausea. I started crying because she told me that morning when she passed out meds to the block she would come straight back and get me (yeah 6 hours later) when I said please you promised you would help me she said oh well and then told the girl who has seizures that she got her medical files from her lawyer (because she refused to treat her) and she needed to go through it to receive her meds. (That’s the 4th time the girl got brought down for having seizures And the 3rd time she had her medical files sent to the nurse) She said what if I have a seizure and die and the nurse said you should have thought about that before you came to jail! I just want people to be aware of the mistreatment from the staff. It’s a abuse of power
No Matter Who Or What You Are, The Prisons Are Horrible Places. People Are Treated Less Than Humane And Asked To Rehabilitate Themselves While There ... A Change Needs To Come
Abigail McAllister It’s true... they r trained to not let anything get to them. They r desensitized. They r so used to bossing inmates around that they bring it home. Won’t say much more but won’t advice any one to marry one.
Why r all these comments like “Abby got a taste of her own medicine in prison?” She’s human and going to jail and having cancer is wayyy worse than being screamed at every day. Also from what I know, the producers made Abby yell at the kids.
Yeah I hope this would kind of soften Abby just a bit and realize that you don’t need to yell at kids all the time! That sometimes just talking to them works. But from the teasers it looks like she’s gonna do the same things!
And did Abby ever kicked someone’s bed or spray soda on someone? Yet she takes the girls out for ice cream and taking them to the beach Abby LOVES those girls. Ok she yelled at them? But she doesn’t treat them like they’re in PRISON
@@dnaiaandrews3620 She didn't deserve cancer but i wouldn't call that love. I had a teacher just like Abby and I can tell u, she degrades students because she can and because she is stressed at life in general. The students not getting it right is the trigger, but it is mainly because she is stressed about other things. If your parents treat you like that, would you think they love u? if your boyfriend treat you like that, will you break up with him?
Everybody shut up. I’ve struggled with addiction in my life and I’ve done jail time multiple times. I never expected Abby to be so kind about that. If you’ve never been to jail, SHUT UP. bc the way she speaks when she says we want our stories heard, and we deserve a voice, is a level of humanity that 90% of people would not express. That speaks VOLUMES about her character. Wow
Sorry but what she did wasn't tough love she was just mean and nasty. You don't degrade people. You don't make it obvious you have a favorite. You don't compare other dancers and tell them to be more like this dancer. You don't belittle people. You don't try to ruin friendships. You don't do any of this to children. You are delusional and not very smart if you think what she did was tough love and okay. My guess you never paid any attetion to what she did and said. She is mean and nasty. Not tough and supportive.
It’s so rude how like EVERYONE is says oh Abby is getting a taste of her own medicine but they CHOSE to be with Abby but Abby didn’t choose to be behind bars and Abby didn’t choose to have cancer
Our prison systems are so fucked up. I’m really glad she can be another advocate for prison reform. Anyone can make a split second mistake that could land them there for years, but it doesn’t mean you’re a horrible person that should be treated like a serial killer or rapist. We all make mistakes. I agree with her, prisons should be held for the worst of the worst. Our prisons are overpopulated with non violent offenders, people who have serious mental disorders, & drug addicts. How can we expect a drug addict to get clean in a miserable place filled with other drug addicts with nothing but time in a place riddled with drugs!? These people need serious help not prison. I also agree with her that a lot of these peoples time would be so much better served doing some sort of community service programs. Not until I really started doing research & educating myself, did I find out that keeping people in cages & expecting some kind of “reform” or “rehabilitation” is ridiculous. Let’s start some real treatment & alternative programs for these people. I’m really glad she’s shedding a light on the treatment that happens in there. Yeaaa I know what some of you might be thinking.. 💭 they broke the law they deserve it 💭 Well some people believe it or not are actually innocent, some have committed small, non violent crimes, some just made one small mistake, & some are in there for just a PLANT 🌱 that’s now legal in multiple states... does that mean they should be treated completely inhumane; worse than animals!? I don’t think so. In some female prisons, you aren’t even given any female hygiene products, so you have to BUY your tampons or pads. That’s just cruel considering most people in prison don’t have the 14$ it costs for a box of just 10*** tampons from the commissary.
movingonandup773 yea some guards are actually doing that now a days, but they also quoted that prisoners were doing bad stuff to Abby and it really didn’t sound that bad compared to murders in prison
All these comments about Abby being horrible, receiving a taste of her own medicine. You realise its a TV show, a caricature shes not actually like that. If you see her with jojo in videos or not on dance moms shes sweet and nurturing so many of the girls wouldnt keep contact with her or keep dancing with her if she was an awful human being
Spending time in jail for breaking the law, and suffering from cancer, SHOULD have given this woman time to reflect on her past life, on her incessant, determined BULLYING of little girls, and on the obvious JOY she got in making the kids and their mothers miserable through her nasty, dictatorial and unfair attitudes and actions. From what I saw over a few years, she would probably benefit from professional counselling.
For u guys hating on Abby, cancer, prison and walking can change your life she made those girls stars, DONT U REALIZE THAT, leave her alone cause yes she did have a taste of her own medicine, but she is still a strong women, and will keeps making little dancers stars 🥺🥰❤️✨🥥
I've always liked Abby. She's tough, she's human and she's a reflection of most all of us who approach life like a buzz saw and hide our tears. The pillars in her life are of her own making, as well as the tragedies. Abby says what she thinks, she's not afraid of drama. She is extremely creative as an artist and teacher. She is highly demanding because she knows fulfilling potential requires unrelenting demand. She believes her strict and inflexible expectations are a huge part of doing her job well. Abby creates her life with a flamboyant wide-stroke paintbrush and doesn't care what others think about it or how she is judged. I suspect Abby keeps a very strong loving, sweet, empathic side of her persona well hidden, because like many of us, the pain in her life has taught her to so. Take a deeper look Folks, because IMHO there seems to be much more diversity to Abby Lee Miller's iron-clad character than meets the eye. She has many adjuncts to her character, many which I respect. And the rest?...maybe we should all do a quick historical evaluation of our own lives and character which might enable us to view Abby Lee Miller with more tolerant and understanding eyes!
for everyone saying she deserves this, u clearly dont watch the dance moms. She did so many good things for those kids. Even if it meant yelling in their faces. She only wanted the the best for them. So stop coming coming at her.
People are mistreated in prison everyday. Some Guards abuse their power and mistreat inmates daily. These inmates have no voice. Just cause they are in prison doesn’t mean they don’t have rights I wish there were a better way to hold guards accountable.
