Abby Lee Miller Announces She Is Quitting DANCE MOMS Reality Show

By: Mar. 28, 2017

DANCE MOMS star Abby Lee Miller turned to Instagram Sunday evening to announce that she is quitting the long-running Lifetime reality series, blaming the show's producers for her decision.

"I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS," ranted Miller in the post. "FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING - TO NO AVAIL!" Read the post in full below:

The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement: I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS. FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING - TO NO AVAIL! TODAY, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I WENT AGAINST THE PRODUCER'S IDEA (ONCE AGAIN) TO ENTER A COMMAND PERFORMANCE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS... "WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?" ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS! I don't have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people's children successful! I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED - DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT! #dancemoms #season7 #ALDC #aldcalways #newbeginnings #aldcla #alllovedancecourage

Since October of 2015, Miller has been involved in legal issues, including a charge in which Miller was indicted on 20 counts of fraud after failing to claim $755,000 in income from the show when she filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In addition, she has been accused of secretly bringing $120,000 in Australian currency into the U.S. In June of 2016 she pleaded guilty to the charges, and is currently facing a possible jail sentence of 30 months.
