Absolutely and the one thing about Gianna that I absolutely hated was the fact that she would stand there and watch this teacher rip a kid apart and be perfectly OK with it and go along with it if you’re an adult and you choose not to stand up for a kid that’s being abused by another adult your part of the problem It’s like knowing that your best friend is in a toxic relationship and you have the power to guide her away from it and you choose not to you contributing to it

[@sienarramirez]

i see your point but also if your friend was being called a bad person and you honestly thought they were a good person, you would probably defend them too. should she have said something? no. would we all have probably done something similar or maybe. we don’t know

[@danielaortega7143]

@@sienarramirez Like I said by choosing not to do anything about it you are part of the problem it’s like when you see someone getting bullied and you don’t say or do anything about it and just because someone is your friend that does not justify that they are a good person just because you know then being a phone also means being willing to call your friend out when they are being accused of being mean or hurtful towards someone and much more if you are aware of it and keep denying it even though it’s clearly happening

And while Jojo was not respected by Abby, you can't really compare to some of the things Chloe had to endure. Not to mention Abby admitting on camera that she mistreated a child (Chloe) because the producers wouldn't kick her out due to contract length.

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

About the producers "ripping up" Abby's 10% contract . . . Abby would have had a SIGNED LEGAL COPY of that contract no matter what the producers ripped up. Evidently there was never a contract giving Abby 10% of what the children made on the show. Abby SHOULD have had contracts with any of the performers who got work through ABBY's DIRECT EFFORTS. I don't think she did - possibly Kendall's video or Mackenzie's "Girl Party" if anything. More often we saw Abby INTERFERING with anyone's ability to get work, like their attempt to do a KZbin video with a young man video "star". As for any of the performers getting work through their being seen first on the Dance Moms Show, that percent would have gone to the owners of the show or Lifetime TV. Abby probably thought she should have gotten a percentage of Maddie's income because SIA saw Maddie on the show. In many instances that would have been the case, but the Dance Moms Show was never expected to be anything when it started, so NOBODY thought about making big money from it down the line when they expected to do only 4 episodes. They all probably had basic contracts and they were all stuck with those terms.

Can we just acknowledge how JoJo literally invalidates anyone’s experience that was negative with Abby like JoJo we get it you had an amazing wonderful experience with Abby but guess what they were people were not literally traumatized and literally were deprived from something they love to do I’ll because of a dance teacher honestly at this point I really just think the JoJo stays in contact with Abby just because she will get cold out if she ditches Abby and will be kind of in the same position that the other girls are now because now they’re doing great wonderful without Abby and honestly without those girls there would be no show there would be no Abby Lee Miller like JoJo‘s TickTock where she said that gia had done so much for Chloe never in my life that I want to strangle someone so much By not and I will always stand by this if you are an adult that as well be capable of standing up to a child that is being abused by another adult and you choose not to your part of the problem frankly and let admit it unless it’s an issue that personally affects JoJo she does not care or with black life‘s matter she stayed quiet With the Israel he Palestinian conflict she stayed quiet literally anything that has to do with anyone else she stays silent about it unless it’s about gay rights which don’t get me wrong they’re absolutely important and absolutely valid but if you’re going to support one movement and not the other movement just because it doesn’t affect you then honestly you shouldn’t be calling yourself an advocate

When Abby says we’re rich and don’t need you any more she is talking about Maddie and Melissa because she favored Melissa and Maddie over the other moms and girls.

[@ang4588]

Except Maddie has literally nothing to do with that and was a child. Abby CHOSE to favor Maddie, and still abused (manipulated, groomed, isolated, etc.) and used her, just in a different way to the other girls. She forced her into a co-dependent relationship, and used a give and take method of approval, followed by berating, to allow her to form a deep attachment. Maddie quite literally didn’t have the capacity to “use” her, since Abby was the grown woman, and Maddie was thrown on tv, forced to be around her 24/7, when she hadn’t been previously. All she wanted to do was dance, and suddenly, everything was turned upside down once they realized they were stuck in reality tv contracts. Not to mention, Melissa had been trying to leave the show since S3, before Maddie had outside success. Abby’s literally just narcissistic and someone that enjoys twisting a narrative for sympathy.

Honestly, with just some footage in the show i think it proves that gia isnt all that nice. She and abby sat there a few times making fun of the dancers who were kids?

[@angieliang8475]

I think that the show was overall very messy and generally a pretty horrible environment for everyone. Abby said that she was in a bad place financially when the show started and she thought it was her ticket out of debt and everything. I feel like the producers are mostly at fault for instigating most things, but the show just amplified and increased what was already there. These people may not have been terrible people, but they certainly weren't exactly saints either (the closest being Holly and Nia). The show provoked everyone in the perfect places and it showed more and added to things like Abby's desperation for money. Hollywood is terribly toxic and the producers were really looking for something that would gain them so much money. I saw Cathy and Abby's call and I agree that they could've made it so much more about dance. Show the full dances, share how they have to re-block numbers when the kid gets sick at the last minute. In fact, I myself as a fan would've loved it more if it followed how the girls rehearsed everyday, things they did outside of competitions like pageants and showcases. And maybe Abby and Gianna could share their creative process. That type of show could've made a much more healthy environment for everyone. Unfortunately the producers were so hung up on gaining money and creating scenes that would go crazy viral due to the insane behaviour from the cast. After all, its so much easier to create anger scenes and just leave after you finish filming it. The internet runs on toxicity most of the time anyway so what a great way to earn tons and tons of money. In the end, really the producers gained the most benefits. The kids were left with terrible experiences, anxiety and so much less passion for dances than they began with. The adults are left with a burning hatred for Abby, Abby is left with less money than she began, and is in a wheelchair. The show did terrible things to everyone and it truly shows the horrible behaviour of Hollywood people that treat people like objects, financial aids. Basically, the show amplified what was already there, added on to it, everyone was affected mostly negatively by it and who knows if the producers ever felt moral remorse in what they were doing
