Kendall has had Kira on the podcast this week.

I’ve just watched it on YouTube and I found it interesting that she said looking back she’d defend other people (Christi, Jess and Nia is who she mentioned) and definitely not stick up for Melissa. Saying she’d call her out on everything she said.

Kira said her and Kalani were in Pittsburgh the entire week of the infamous duet, learning it with Maddie. She said Melissa basically lied all week because apparently Kalani was staying with Melissa the entire time.

Kendall seems surprised when Kira said Kalani stayed with Melissa that week - Kendall said she thought they learned the duet months ago and Kira says no.

I’m not surprised as I know it’s speculated that Melissa and Kira do not get along nowadays.

Has anyone else listened/watched yet? Intrigued on people’s thoughts!

i just noticed in a small clip when they were showing the girls dancing that paige has her hair entirely down while dancing & turning… but chloe got absolutely reprimanded for that..? i’d understand abby letting it fly under the radar if it was maddie, or kenzie even.. but she didn’t like paige as much as she didn’t like chloe either, so why pick & choose?

First of all...I don't doubt that production had some involvement in the storylines colliding. HOWEVER, there is a lot of planning that goes into taking a child with needs as severe as Ari's brother's anywhere. This was likely planned weeks before it was announced the Ziegler girls were leaving.

Maddie and Mackenzie got years of attention. To end their Dance Moms experience, they got multiple goodbye specials, solos, Mackenzie got to do a hip-hop group dance which she loved at the time, and a "a send off" from the dance competition (that does not happen IRL). A way better ending than what could've been (look at how Chloe and some the other girls had to leave).

For Melissa to say "this was supposed to be about Maddie and Mackenzie and it's not" is WILD. And saying "I'm sorry this is your life" to Sari's face is cruel and insensitive.

People on this sub defending Melissa for her behaviour towards Sari is crazy.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but i am rewatching dance moms and it seems they cut out a lot of the scenes where abby was being a vile human and made it seem like the moms were just getting angry randomly. As if abby said nothing and they moms were just saying random things that made no sense to abby. Like obviously Abby said something but they cut it out?! whyyy!!

was it maybe too horrible to air?! The producers seemed to protect abby ALOT.

Also a lot of the guest stars today say abby wasn’t that horrible and that is very apparent in the show, she’s definitely A BUTT LICKER to guests and treated them a lot nicer than the OG girls (Nia, Kenzie, Paige, Brooke and Chloe).

Also abby reacts to every situation like a 5 year old and cries. But when the real children cry it’s an issue for her🙄

random shower thought i had idk why LMFAO

I ask this question because of another question posed on here a little while ago, where someone asked if people think that Abby delivered on the opportunities that she promised when the show primarily started filming in Los Angeles.

The question got me thinking, and I had realized that it seemed like the girls have more outside opportunities before the Los Angeles move.

Between seasons 1-5, when Dance Moms was still primarily being filmed in Pittsburgh, some of the opportunities the girls had were the Lux music video, Brooke’s music career and filming her music video for Summer Love Song, Mackenzie’s music career and the filming for her music video for Girl Party, the Freaks Like Me music video, the opportunity to audition for Drop Dead Diva, the Joffrey Ballet audition, their performance on The View, the Astra Awards, the Matty B music video, and the interviews they did with local TV and radio stations.

In seasons 6 and 7, when filming was primarily in Los Angeles, the only opportunities that I remember the girls getting to do were the ALDC LA commercial, the Electric Kicks commercials, the brand itself no longer exists I believe, and the Seventeen magazine photoshoot.

Why do you think that might be? Do you think maybe the opportunities dried up overtime, or do you think that production might not have allowed the girls to do as many outside opportunities during filming?

For me its the joffrey ballet audition episode in season 2, like cmon...abby crying, cathy celebrating for being 1 point better than aldc, chloe getting the scholarship, maddie scolded by melissa over a phone, group dance getting 10th

I am watching season 6 episode 23 and I cannot believe how rude Jessalynn and Jill are to Brynn. ESPECIALLY JESSALYNN. AND THE OTHER MOMS ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING. I am totally turned off of both of them from these few episodes. It's gross actually.

she basically called herself a people pleaser
