"Dance Moms," the reality TV show and dance competition series hosted on the Lifetime network, was known for its core cast of talented young dancers. But also key to the show: Abby Lee Miller, whose famously high standards and harsh critiques of the children under her tutelage often led to conflict.
"I know when I go to sleep at night that I have done my job, and I have made the world a better place for children," Miller told ABC News. And those kids that you're talkin' about, that tough love, they're doin' great."Since the show went off the air after its eighth season in 2019, Miller has remained a controversial figure -- some former "Dance Moms" girls praise her tough love, while others are still healing from what they say was wounding criticism.
"Dance Moms" follows the journey of mothers and their young daughters, ages 6 to 13, at Abby Lee Dance Company/Reign Dance Productions. The show’s eighth season ended in September 2019. Miller would continue to find herself facing legal issues. She was charged with hiding over $750,000 in a secret bank account and faced 20 counts of bankruptcy fraud in 2015. Miller initially claimed innocence but ultimately pleaded guilty to concealing income she had earned after filing for bankruptcy. She was sentenced to a year in prison and served eight months.
