[@fatinhollywood]

[@DreamiNae101]

No hate, seriously.Everyone is going back and forth about front of dance, who's an OG member, etc. But I am wondering why this needed to be made? What I mean to ask is that, whyDance Mom still a thing? All the girls are always saying they've moved on from their dance mom dance, but everywhere I look on their social media, they are always discussing, posting, and rehashing things from dance moms. I want to know what they have going for themselves outside of dance moms and Abby Lee Miller. At what point do we leave the past in the past and actually move on with their lives. Rather than having dance moms be an experience that once lived, its become all they are about. You know what I mean?

[@amandamandamands]

Speculation is to build hype for season 9 that they have filmed with a different studio.

[@susse2343]

​@amandamandamands omg is that true? Did they actually confirm that?😭

[@amandamandamands]

@@susse2343 There were pics going around a few months ago and a new Instagram was created for the show team. I can't remember the name of it (saw it through reddit) and the Instagram has a short blurb for each girl. So confirmed that some was filmed (people posted things seeing them at comps with the film crew etc), what they are doing with it and if/when it will be released no. Then you have Abby who has created her own season 9 and where and when that will be released who knows too (yes something different to Mad House).

[@jojoart571]

Actually most people who become famous from a specific show regardless of ether they’ve moved on or how much they have grown it always becomes a point of discussion of their lives

Guarantee yall are all gonna try and find a way to fill these comments up with jojo hate. which just show exactly why shes here she is the most famous and will bring viewers. jojo was very respectful in this interview and heard everyone out even agreeing with their stories. her point made a lot of sense she came on the show as a fan she wanted to be on the show she didnt mind where she was or what she got she was excited to be there. the other girls it was there life before it was a show or they wanted to be at ALDC.

[@lauraartiga4761]

girl bye

[@aldckenzie115]

Girl what? We all get your point? But dude she literally made almost all her fans hurt including me? She gave us warning about her new song? We are like ok April Fools is over but ok? Then she immediately slaps, all of fans across the face. With this new song karma. I can bet you kids are listening to this song learning these bad words, she is a bad influence to these kids? Frankly it's disgusting. The next day everyone is like wheres the old Jojo ofc we are gonna say that? Shes turning emo? I'm completely shock people still like her? Stop forcing to like Jojo? We are not haters. We just don't like how she treated us. if wasn't for us she wouldnt be famous. And she clearly isn't grateful for what she gets. She completely change her style she went for preapy pink girl into this emo girl. So ofc we are throw hate on her? Parents are mad fans are mad. She completely out of control. Second Jojo isn't a og member I'm not putting hate on her too kalani Kendall aren't ogs but we talking about Jojo so first she joined in the begin of season 5 like episode 4 or 3 and she only does like the full season 6? Then in season 7 she immediately is gone? And she gets invited to this reunion like she an og kalani stay little of season 4 s5 s6 s7 she didn't miss one beat Kendall here form s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 s7 completely Jojo is invited to dance moms reunion and stuff. Honestly if just make up an excuse for us to hate on Jojo girl you are completely out of mind.

The thing i love about jojo is she makes it clear to her it was a show. All the other girls got nervous regardless of there ability because they wanted to be the best. Jojo knew others like maddie,kalani and kendall were better dancers so she performed up Kalani in my opinion wasted her talent. I love her first solo and her duet with chloe but other than that she regressed so much that by season 7 she lost so many skills. Abby made fun of her weight but we all know abby caused kalani to regress

[@khlos_lifestyle]

i wouldn't say she wasted her talent cause she still dances and she actually teaches,but abbys "training" was really regressing the students,making them lose their confidence which happened to many for a while like Brynn,Kendall,Kalani,Brooke etc
