well no because they brought her back a few episodes later

[@dejahturner16]

I think she didn't WIN because they had her on Dance Moms the following season.

[@dejahturner16]

​@Fallinq_ xParis I have a theory and I would loooove for someone to ask Kalani this, but I wanna know if she threw the competition on purpose because of Dance Moms. Her second performance of Rhinestone Cowgirl was an uncharacteristic mess. Even on DM, I never saw her mess up like that. It looked intentional

[@tiktokssneakerhead9717]

Nicole deaddd 💀 but yessss that proves she too good and should not be there

[@TwistedApple]

Dejah Turner well it was the last episode that kalani got eliminated again, so even if she won she would still have had time to be on dance moms, it’s pretty unlikely she messed up so she could be on the show

[@fritos286]

When Abby says “I’ll se you dance someday, okay?” Sis, you DID see her dance didn’t you? I’m so glad Kalani got to be on Dance moms

Because during AUDC Abby wasn't abusive to any of the kids. During Dance Moms, Abby behaved incredibly awfully towards all the girls. If I'm being real, if Abby treated me like that, my kiddy ideals of loving her would be broken. And that's on periodt.

[@hamadana2036]

@@ashleydawn517 Chloe was part of aldc chole left aldc because abby said SOMTHING mean to her so she left and the contract was signed freely by there own mothers and Kelly released from the contract so the the other mom was able to go aswel And why are you bring Chole into this I understand why her and some other kid like nia Paige and more not talking to abby BUT kalani have no reason not too talk to abby so dose Maddie and mackanzy

[@ashleydawn517]

Hama Dana Because Chloe’s specific situation proves the girls couldn’t leave as easily as you’re saying. They had 4 year contracts with Lifetime, with the potential for an additional 4 years. Chloe originally had a contract with Abby, but later only with the producers of the show. She knew she was leaving at the end of her 4 years, the scene just gave a reason for them to leave abruptly like that. When Kelly left there were a lot of legal troubles that followed. Look up MackZBoss on KZbin, she sums it up pretty well.

[@ziondeleya3992]

Hama Dana they are right . They were contracts they couldn’t leave luv.
