[@sophielote7073]

It made me so upset to see jill cry just then, it must haunt them all that they’ve let this happen

[@ceciliarpereira]

I really like the way Cheryll treats girls. You realize she teaches with respect, carefully. The way she knows how to deal with Chloe and Kendall and her insecurities is very nice. They'd probably still be dancing if they had a teacher to take care of them while teaching.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

And the thing about Cheryl is, she still expected just as much, if not more, from the girls as Abby did, but the difference was Cheryl had their backs.

[@simi8610]

such a sweet woman!

[@quinnlindden4919]

I think alot of the girls that left deserve someone like Cheryll. Honestly like Paige, Brooke, Ava, Fallon, Peyton, Tia, I mean most of them honestly. I think Kenzie too, but Maddie has alot of support rn. idk my opinion

[@xxgoldflowerxx3484]

They had to have a mean dance teacher because the producers want to stir up drama. I still agree, it would be ofc the best thing for the girls.

[@khloesanner5392]

But yet she still treats chloe and nia bad bc one episode she said they both can’t win bc they didn’t have good technique like what kinda of dance teacher says that to bring the girls down and less confident

everywhere she goes she feels she has to prove something to abby. she sees her, hears her comments in her head, that's trauma. "i just want her to go away", even when you havent seen them in years. that's trauma.

[@Cami-pg2jj]

Shenelle Castellon more serious than phsycologically abusing a kid for 4+ years? That’s trauma. If her parents were doing and saying the same things as Abbys has, they would have been put behind bars

Shenelle Castellon Traumas can be small or large. Some psychologists call them "small t trauma" or "large t trauma". And I agree with the other person who commented, these children definitely went through trauma with Abby.

Imagine coming out of: 'don't be cry babies' to 'it's okay to be vulnerable'? I wanted season 8 with Cheryll as a teacher. It would be amazing. The end of the video with them supporting each other was something I would have loved to see before. I feel like they fought several wars alone when together they would have had better results. That's what should be a team.

Both can be true though. We do need to build strong people that don’t need to whine and cry all the time but also expressing emotion is important so I feel some of both sides are true, just my opinion

Kendall crushed my heart when she said "I'll have to deal with it" because, in her, those are not words that make her stronger...but words that Abby has planted in her head in a negative manner

[@Lili-sw9st]

Chloe has reached her point of exhaustion from her trauma where Kendall clearly is just completely shut off. I mean look at her face when they are all talking and when she says she has to deal with it. It’s like she’s hardly even there

Fiji Water I know, I did so too, everyone thought of her as a brat but I was crushed every time I saw her, she’s a beautiful girl but her anxiety got the best of her, and instead of making that as a warning sign, the producers took that and made it seem like she’s spoiled

Let's be clear. Kira only did that for the girls who was there BEFORE Kalani. If you weren't an Og Kira had zero respect for you, becuase she herself developed this false perception that Kalani was too an original🥴It was more about fitting in than actually caring about them, which is proved when the dancers that came AFTER Kalani was bullied by Kira herself.

“I want her to go away” you can hear the years of trauma in her voice. I hate how much trauma these girls went through and how much Abby still benefits from the years of torment brought on by her.

[@sarahannemunson2687]

The saddest part is when Kira starts talking about how the moms watched the kids be emotionally abused for years, and never did anything. Sometimes it seems like to the moms it was always a reality show (yes, things got real, but in the end the moms knew that it was all fabricated and hyped up), but to the girls it was real life. Their childhood was ruined and the mom’s couldn’t see that until now. So so sad.

[@arelysrivera4762]

Kira is a tough mom and she's breaking down with Chloe🥺😭

[@marlenetoo]

I like how she identifies the weaknesses but also builds them up and sets expectations.

[@breannaxoxo3850]

If you watch Kendall’s first dance vs with Abby you can see how Abby changed Kendall as a dancer. Kendall had fire in her eyes when she started and by the end she looked scared to perform.

[@r1ldx675]

I love how the mums helped Chloe and her emotions like even Kira

[@superstarnayeon2794]

watching chloe cry reminded me of how abby treated her in the first few seasons and the emotional abuse she went through. i hope the girls are healing and realize what amazing dancers they really are

[@corimoon3360]

I will never forgive Abby for what she did to Chloe. Chloe was one of the best on the team with natural god given talent and she could have been even better had she been treated the same way as the favorite, but because of Abby’s jealous hatred, she made her lose her passion, stop competing, and eventually regress only to come to this. I hate seeing Chloe like this. Seeing the extent of what Abby did to her. I can only imagine how unstoppable Chloe would be if she had a better teacher from the start that didn’t ruin her mentally and actually helped her grow her skills. “I just want her to go away” truly broke my heart. Chloe deserved so much better. Chloe was Chloe and she was enough! She was good!

[@kassidywhite]

Holly: “ you are good enough” honestly hit close to home

[@emilymurray7439]

I love how all the mums started giving advice to Chloe and acting like her mum that was really sweet.

[@godzillamonsterultraxz4770]

Chloe is a beautiful person inside and out and it broke my heart to see the kind of damage Abby did to her

[@sh4dia]

Kalani just being the big sis on the team never crying lol! 😂😂😂

[@k___1]

I am: crying

[@shreyasingh-po4fp]

You can see how much the moms ACTUALLY get along when Abby's not tearing their friendship apart. I mean look at how Jill comforted Chloe and told her that she wasn't a crybaby, and how Christi smiled and their interactions in general. They rarely got along at the ALDC because Abby made a competition out of EVERYTHING in and outside the studio.

[@tishawnathompson7849]

It’s crazy that Abby made those girls feel like that for so long so the point she is still taunting them when she’s not even around.

[@cydie]

i started tearing up when Jill at 3:38 said "How could we have let that happen?" because i think she gets the most hate out of all of the moms but you see parts of her behind the anger that is hopeless and sad, and the honesty, and the humanity in those emotions behind her anger really kills me

[@arizona7972]

I love how no matter how badly Jill treated holly in season 5, she still cares for Jill

[@PrEpPy_EdItSgUrL]

This part of the show near the end just taught me that it’s fine to let out tears. Like i cried on this part. But it’s so sad to see that happen to the girls and the moms. But it just makes me feel better that they were all listening to Chloe and that also shows that they care. 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@chloeshim1057]

when chloe started crying it was obvious how much these girls and their moms have suffered just dancing with abby.

[@penpen9915]

When they showed her talking to chloe I legit teared up i love her so much she deserves the world and it breaks my heart that shes so insecure 😓❤❤❤❤❤

[@isabellehoward-ritson9852]

I love this clip because all the moms come together and help the children but it’s sad that they are so insecure

[@gabrelle-io6wn]

I loved it when the moms comforted Chloe. Poor Chloe and Kendall...

[@Lannaluvsya]

I love how Jill said “ There no such thing as a crybaby “ when Chloe was crying bc that felt really powerful

[@ashleyloupassakis4183]

The fact that Kira was crying for them just shows all the love and loyalty they have for each other and over abby

[@Olivia-vi4gn]

When Chloe started crying I did And when I let the tears go my hand drowned I feel SOO bad for them!

[@bhaskarannambair7589]

I was literally crying throughout the episode 😢

[@-espeon]

man, i just love this clip. i love the moms and girls (and the teacher) coming together and empowering each other.

[@superkay4421]

Chloe's tears made me wanna cry

[@noahpierson6437]

Abby let those kids down so much that they have anxiety even thinking about performing in front of abby

[@marie.d0]

i understand now why no one's talk to abby anymore, she doesn't deserves those girls. She mentally abused them and they were so strong all those year, that's why the mom were always fighting, because it was never enough for anybody, the kid the moms and the teacher. It's heartbreaking to see how bad those child had to go through.
