Abby Lee Milleris an iconic figure in the reality television world.
What followed were seasons full of drama-filled rehearsals, lawsuits, and berating at the hands of Miller.
The series, “Abby’s Virtual Dance Competition,” was created in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“[Abby] tried to spin Camryn as being the poor one and there on scholarship.
I shut that down immediately,” Bridges toldE!
“We were so relieved when she was gone especially when we thought she wasn’t coming back …
It was a traumatic experience that I wish on no one.”
Miller posted a public apology to former students and their mothers on Instagram.
“I realize that racism can come not just from hate, but also from ignorance.
No matter the cause, it is harmful, and it is my fault.”
Miller served eight months of her year-long prison sentence after being indicted for hiding her income.
Additionally, she failed to report the $120,000 that she brought over from Australia,Peoplereports.
“Shame on you.
“You couldn’t come to visit me for eight and a half months?
You couldn’t send a card, a letter?”
Miller’s sentence ended early after she was diagnosed with severe spinal cancer.
She was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma cancer and has since been restricted to a wheelchair.
“Why didn’t the ER Doctors on duty do their jobs?
I came in twice with the same symptoms?
Why didn’t somebody listen to me, the patient?”
she questioned in a lengthyInstagramcaption.
While she is now cancer-free, Miller has faced more health issues in the years since.
Now facing the inaccessibility that comes with being handicapped, Miller toldEntertainment Tonightthat she is determined to walk again.
However, she doesn’t think her harsh instructing style had anything to do with it.
“And it’s a TV show, it’s a reality TV show.
You know what you sign up for.”
Miller has been accused of bullying and emotional abuse by former students and parents on “Dance Moms.”
