Dance Moms Instructor Abby Lee Miller Indicted for Fraud - WTAE Pittsburgh

[@ginax8307]

the wheels of justice turns slow, but it never stops

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+gina 🙌

[@LavenousForever]

Wow... Well, they are all under contract for six seasons of dance moms, so the show could end with Abby going to jail. What a way to end it XD

[@DotyAudioswaps]

+LavenousForever Hahaha Dance Moms: Prison Special

[@dancerarinz556]

That would actually be interesting.

[@acrotricks244]

+Doty Audioswaps That would be HILARIOUS. Bring back Kelly and Christi and let the moms have a laugh at it.

[@OYJluv]

actually that would be nice.

[@chalronbjork4766]

+LavenousForever Lifetime should do a reality show of Abby in jail - somehow, I don't think she'll last too long with that mouth of hers

[@docb.m.d.9441]

When all of this fraud was going on, Maddie's mother was Abby's office manager. Melissa HAD TO KNOW that Abby had "stolen" almost a million dollars from the government, and yet she did not inform the authorities, which is in it's self a serious crime. Melissa had to have been an accomplice to dozens of felonious acts, making her almost as guilty as Abby. If she fully "rats out" on Abby (in court tells the jury about the dozens and dozens of times she witnessed Abby stealing) Melissa should be able to only go on probation and not go to prison.

[@cynmguildguild6208]

I agree with you...no wonder Melissa was up abbeys ads soo much!!! ha ha!! Hollywood my ass!!!

[@docb.m.d.9441]

At the end of last season Abby was just frantic with anxiety. She provable knew how much trouble she was in. When your case is being investigated by a federal attorney, and the FBI you are done-zo. One of the stars from the TV show "House Wives of New Jersey" was found guilty of the exact same thing. She is in prison now.

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Doc B. M.D. B. M.D. No, Melissa worked the front desk at the studio, she was not Abby's personal manager. So, she might have known that Abby was getting paid but she wouldn't have had to falsify any documents the way Abby's accountant would've. Am I saying that she didn't know and she's innocent - NO. Chances are super high that Melissa knew EXACTLY what Abby was doing. All I'm saying is that Melissa stopped working the front desk after Season 1 though, so there's no proof that she helped Abby break any laws. Therefore, theoretically, she shouldn't be in any legal trouble the way Abby is.

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Doc B. M.D. YEP!!!! I don't think she's going to get off easy AT ALL. They're going to want to make an example of her, just like with the woman from The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

[@aboredmartian9023]

I hope Melissa will be fine because think about how that will affect her children

[@dancerarinz556]

Am I the only one not surprised by this?

[@chalronbjork4766]

+Dancer the Math Geek Not at all. In fact, I remember about 18 months ago reading a comment written on the Dance Moms Facebook page of a grandmother of a previous student saying that Abby stole money from the parent's fund (this was before Dance Moms was even made). The description of what happened from this grandmother was so informative, I found it to most likely be true.

[@dancemomstutorials5503]

you post this on my birthday, really this sad story

[@dancemomchloefanxo]

Karma

Whats/Who is Karma

[@elliejenkins1251]

+Nia Primus Karma basically means that if you do something bad, it comes back to bite you. You don't just get away from it.

[@teamcori]

WTF! This is crazy!

[@jaded_]

There's going to be allot of "Dance Mom's" feeling justice has been served. lol

[@oohjaehyun4206]

OMG 5 years in prison and a fine 😪😁👏🏻

[@millyparker1328]

For each incident so 100 years

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Dance Kendall She's facing life in Federal Prison ( 20 indictments x 5 years each = 100 years)

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Milly Parker yeah exactly

[@Eve1432-i4x]

+Princess Killer Bee she wouldn't be facing life..it would be 5 years. It's all added up already

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Eve1432 No, it's 5 years PER charge. She's being charged with 20 separate things. So 20 indictments (charges) x 5 years per indictment = 100 years total.

[@popbabyface20]

Melissa, Maddie's mom, is just as guilty as Abby Lee Miller. The only way Melissa could skip jail time is "ratting out" Abby. On Dance Moms, she would never "rat out" Abby on any lie Abby told the Moms. But, I think Melissa and Abby will lose there friendship over this. There's no way Melissa's going to jail.

[@qistinasweet3458]

I AM SPEECHLESS😞

[@TheBlizzardcat]

well, well, well... it all comes back to her.

[@thetfggclan436]

how did you figure this out

[@cynmguildguild6208]

HOW EMBRASSING!!!!!!!!!!

[@cynmguildguild6208]

that shows why in the show she kept disapearing!!!! to hide the loot. and she was a wreck and tried to blame the girls....it was her crime she did!!!!

[@ellieboscombe6704]

Wait didn't Abby say on the last episode called city of angels or something I thought she said this is the end of this chapter so does that mean she knows she's gonna go to prison ??!! (These may not be her exact words but it's what I can remember )

[@brookeunhinged]

OMG so true

[@maisieoakley8548]

OH MY GOD!!

[@Sw33tdiva666]

omg that is just omg and how is she gonna finishfilming seson six and is it gonna be on Netflix Princess Killer Bee

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Kylie Taddy I have no clue! Netflix has a whole system to the shows/movies they have up. I have a few I wish they'd put up there already but havent 😂

[@Sw33tdiva666]

Princess Killer Bee​ good morning! :) and how old are u

[@breeelaine3122]

+Princess Killer Bee get the free lifetime app you can watch episodes of dance moms for free

[@natymercedes]

i get why she would go to jail but im wondering what would happen to her studio andbits sad because we wont see the kids any more

[@melisitarose]

K👏🏼A👏🏼R👏🏼M👏🏼A👏🏼-Brooke

[@teamcori]

Abby fucked up.

[@dancefan7649]

i dont think dance moms will be the same if abby goes to prison

[@ellaleason3010]

Wait, so... no season 6? 😭

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Ellas Edits. They're currently filming S6 and Abby is due in Court in November, but these proceedings take a long time. So, it's entirely possible they will be done filming S6 before a verdict is reached. However, this is definitely looking like the last season if she gets sentenced to 5 years of prison for EACH separate Indictment. That would be a 100 year sentence (20 indictments x 5 years each), aka she'd be in prison for the rest of her life. This is actually super serious.

[@ellaleason3010]

Wow! Ah that's good, let's just hope that whatever happens, Abby doesn't drag the girls down with her! Of course 5 years for each indictment would be super serious! And ty for letting me know, in England we get everything exactly a month and a week after they air in places like Australia and America haha

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Ellas Edits. I would hope this wouldn't reflect badly on the girls. They didn't do ANYTHING wrong in this situation. It was ALL Abby. However, just being her students and being associated with her name might make people look at them differently. Hopefully though this scandal won't reflect negatively on the girls' careers.

[@docb.m.d.9441]

+Princess Killer Bee "Stomp the yard" prophetic ?

[@cynmguildguild6208]

MAYBE " MADDIE" WILL SAVE THIS CROOK!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!

[@ivanjovanov1762]

Everybody be like hahaha and I am like OMG, and just praying for her 5 years is alot. She just has a lot of discipline when she teaches.

[@chalronbjork4766]

+Ivan Jovanov You call her behaviour discipline? Hmmm, lets see how much discipline she shows in jail

[@Sw33tdiva666]

[@isaalvarez9323]

I dont wanna Abby go to prision :'( I love Abby

[@nalynnjones266]

that's her fault

[@cynmguildguild6208]

MADDIE HELP!!!!!!

[@kayseecoward7571]

what would happen if she is convicted? would the show get pulled all together? would Gianna take Abby's place? Or What?

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Kaysee Coward The show would most likely be cancelled. That would be way too much bad publicity and the network would probably feel uncomfortable leaving the show on the air. Spin-offs, however, aren't off the table completely. So, we'll have to wait and see which moms agree to those

[@margareth7967]

no entiendo nada ahre

[@Amylovesponies345]

what can i say? karma's a bitch..

[@cynmguildguild6208]

😩

[@dancemomsroyal6129]

I found out on wendy williams that she might be going to jail i hope she doesn't cause i do and don't like her but she will miss maddie growing up that was the first thing i thought of when i heard

[@docb.m.d.9441]

+dancemomsroyal 6 True but they do have TVs in prison. SO she could watch Maddie and Kalani.

[@dancemomsroyal6129]

Doc B. M.D. oh right but still in person would be nice

[@docb.m.d.9441]

That's true. Melisa was her office manager for the three years Abby hid the $775,000 It is hard to believe Melissa wasn't aware, which makes her an accessory after the fact. So maybe they could share a cell. ??????

[@PrincessKillerBee]

+Doc B. M.D. No, Melissa worked the front desk at the studio, she was not Abby's personal manager. So, she might have known that Abby was getting paid but she wouldn't have had to falsify any documents the way Abby's accountant would've. Melissa stopped working the front desk after Season 1 though, so theoretically she shouldn't be in any legal trouble over this.

[@docb.m.d.9441]

It would be super if Malissa wasn't involved.The TV keeps showing part of a letter to her accountant (and a friend) saying "Put no cash in the bank" So God help her accountant and any friends she was sharing incriminating information with.

[@beautybymorrigan]

noooooooo
