‘Dance Moms’ Alums Throw Shade at Abby Lee Miller Amid Fraud Charges
Abby Lee Miller, the dance coach on Lifetime's reality TV show, "Dance Moms," was indicted on bankruptcy fraud charges and alums from the show are seemingly throwing shade via Twitter. On the show, Miller has a history of being too mean and tough on the young dancers.
One of the first people to allegedly react to the news was Miller's former student, Brooke Hyland. Hyland, 17, tweeted the word "Karma" with the hand clapping emojis, which several of her fans speculated was in about Miller.
One fan wrote, "Love the shade."
Another one wrote, "What goes around comes around!"
Hyland's mother, Kelly Hyland, also tweeted something shady. She posted a picture of a martini glass, wrote "Cheers" and tagged another former "Dance Moms" mother, Christi Lukasiak. Kelly left the show with her daughters after she had an onscreen fight with Miller back in 2014. Lukasiak left the show with her daughter Chloe in 2014 as well because she felt that Miller has cross a line with her harsh criticisms.
Once again, fans were quick to connect the post to Miller's recent charges.
"Celebrating the sweet joy of karma?" a fan asked.
"I hope Abby realizes she's 'replaceable.' Enjoy your victory ladies," another fan wrote.
The Hylands were not the only ones to post questionable tweets. Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, Miller's onscreen nemesis, tweeted, "Is #orange the new black? I hear stripes are big this season."
Nesbitt-Stein left the show due to scheduling conflicts but was rumored to be returning in season 6.
According to the 20-count indictment, Miller allegedly lied about her income in order to receive better terms and conditions when it came to restructuring her debt. She had petitioned to reorganize her dance company in 2010. The indictment stated that Miller hid a total of $755,492.85 from the court.
If convicted, Miller could serve up to five years in prison. She would also have to pay a fine of $250,000 per count.
Miller and Lifetime still have not commented about fraud charges.
