How the Villains of Dance Moms Were Misrepresented// Uncovered S2E3

I’m kinda annoyed that they made Kaya portray herself like that because it really gave her the “ghetto black lady” stereotype which I really don’t appreciate.

[@cyanidefilledcandy2]

Really, Kaya's first appearance wasn't that bad. Even on the show, the producers made it be because everyone kept villainizing her and Nicaya for "replacing team members" and Kaya kept saying "we're not trying to replace anyone". And come to find out later in an interview right after that season, the REAL reason she blew up was because the moms were trash talking her when she left the dressing room talking about how she probably couldn't even afford to take class there. And even still, I am very bothered that Kaya gets labelled as a "ghetto black woman" when people like Christi, Yolanda, Kira, and Kelly not only act the same way or worse, but also have actually physically hit people. :/

[@MackZBoss]

I completely agree! I feel like Dance Moms (and many other reality shows) was way behind the times when it came to the representations of minorities. I feel ashamed that I used to buy into Kaya's character on the show without question.

[@jayjvy25]

This is absolutely a thing. The mother of Peyton Evans (one of the minis from season 6) has said that even though she had the same makeup artist as the other mini moms, they would always make her look scary for some reason.

Honestly dance moms was extremely racist. -Nia even said that a producer told her the only reason she got to do the show was because she is black -Camryn and nia talked about abbys racist-ish comments towards them -they desperately looked for a black kid in s8 and then barely showcased that kid (same was done to camryn) -playing into stereotypes: black patsy as hood and ghetto for cussing and yelling while christi and kelly were deemed funny and witty and also holly having to be super smart and stuff in order not to be seen as ghetto -the moms made insensitive comments regarding kayas financial situation ( prejudice that black people are poor) -the trump wall dance -kira jill kelly and many candy apples mums are trump supporters

[@ainsleysnyder5241]

[@estefaniarivera1740]

I don't mind having villians in the show like Cathy, they can be someone you enjoy hating in, as long as they agree just like Cathy and Elliana mother (Yolanda (?) ), But it Is a problem when you make them be villians without they concern and specially when they are kids, who would get a lot of REAL HATE just like Payton. I use to hate her, but i never did something against her and then i saw a video of all the hate she was having. Its no fair for kids to be portayed like that, specially for young ones who would hardly see the difference of the show and reality (just like with little Maddie, she would be portayed like the perfectionist and the brat, and im glad that that didnt affect in her acttitud, that now she Is a little kind and caring child) Thx for the great vídeo and sorry if there Is a setence that its wrong ir something that is not spelled correctly, english Is not my native language

everyone keeps saying the producers are the villains, but in some ways, i feel the moms are just as guilty. the producers were doing their jobs. albeit, not jobs to be proud of, but they were doing what they had to do to keep the show running. not many of us would've followed this show for so many years if it weren't for all of the drama. the really sad part is how many women were willing to watch their kids be bullied and framed as brats just for fame and money. i have so much respect for leslie for finally putting her foot down and deciding she wasn't allowing this to happen anymore. i also respect christi and kelly for doing the same and getting out of that show once too many lines were crossed. less respect for christi considering she came back, but chloe was old enough by then to make that decision on her own. all of those girls had their childhoods ruined, and that's so devastating. they should've been dancing as a hobby and because they enjoyed it. they shouldnt have been dancing as a job at ages as young as six so they could make money. they were children. i think we forget that they were being verbally abused just to get their families rich.

[@justcalista3809]

My friends have actually met Kaya and Nicaya in real life and they said they both are super nice!

[@laurenbrennan22]

I went to school with Ava in middle school before she had switched to online and was doing dance moms. I never really talked to her mom but in our 6th grade year I was in a wheelchair for 6 months and Ava was the one that would push me around because we had 5/6 classes together so it made the most sense. We didn’t rly become friends, but she was always super kind and sweet. I remember specifically idk if my friends weren’t at lunch yet or something but she offered for me to sit with her and the girls at their table which i just remember being really nice. I think she was only there for that one year before transferring/leaving so we were never super close. We had each other on social media back then but haven’t talked since, I hope she’s doing good!

[@babushkathe14th]

This video really opened my eyes. For a long time, I thought that these people were just as bad and if not worse than the show portrayed them. Now that I did my research and realized things are edited, I know see how these people weren't the villains, but the victims of editing and manipulation by the producers.

[@Imnotlexi250]

It's it me or? The only black woman that was the "villain" and she said she seemed violent, like how? Kinda think you be racist low-key

[@vex2960]

Well, tbf she did threaten the other moms

[@chantallirwin3000]

What about Holly?

[@Tiffany-uh2hx]

The creator isn’t racist, the producers are. She threatened the other moms and did act violent, so it’s not racist, just the way she was portrayed

[@gabbydavis2988]

I’m so happy you made this video. Kiya used to make me so angry, however what she said for people idolizing Abby but being mad when she is told by the producers to criticize the dancers and Abby straight up bullies them and attacks appearances on and off camera with and without production.

[@sagejo3621]

Did anyone notice when Abby was talking about the message Sarah's mom sent her. You hear Maddie say. "They are actually a family" someone comment is she saying it like she does not like it or she is being sweet

[@saraholivier1349]

She says "their a sweet family" and "they really nice"

[@AnonymousAnonymous-ir4ko]

'What she is, is the most humble, sweet, modest, grateful - just beautiful soul you will ever meet - And I'm not just sayin that cause I'm her mom, cause not all my kids act like that!'' What a Queen lol

[@belmarre]

When brynn left the show ashley say to the producers...."you think that we're so desperate to be on tv that this matter?" I think there are mothers who definitely are, and doesn't mind risking her daughters in order to gain fame and instagram followers !!! 9 season is comming lol

[@pettylevelexpert984]

I never thought Jeannette was a villain. She tried VERY hard to be a good sport. Especially, when she quit the CADC because she didn't like Cathy's, "kalani is the whole team", argument with Holly!

[@ctopper737]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL THANK YOUUUUU

[@pan_el]

For me, i dont care what its gonna get my kid. If youre gonna tell me to act like something im not or inevitability abuse my child, its just not gonna happen. Imo theyre only still supportive of her bc they gained "fame"....at the expense of their childs mental health. But yk, just my own opinion. Every kid involved deserves an apology from their parent(s) . I actually used to think the show was ok until i realized i was raised by people who behaved similarly and how fucked up it made me. (Just on a completely different side of it)

[@Mark-sd5jk]

“At a competition that’s not even real” 🤣🤣 Kaya is a savage I love it

[@eeb1144]

Holly is not a queen... She is the entire palace (It’s a meme reference) lol

[@annasofia2539]

I LOVE THIS SERIES SM!!!

[@SlumberPartyLofi]

I feel so ignorant for not realizing how super set up these characterizations were.

[@Katie.bum05]

Love you and your vids so much research and shows the real side to the show

[@sammitheperson5341]

Payton is not “Bratty” shes nice and pretty and ya’ll who hate her bc she said that ya’ll got to see it from a different perspective

[@katieadams1743]

Honestly I always feel bad for Ashley because she seems fine and all the moms are SO mean to her

[@queenrumbo1st]

I love your channel and your more than the producers cared to show is just iconic

[@neon5433]

You should do a video called “The true villains of Dance Moms” Starring the producers.

[@kimberlyarrington5721]

I always thought Sarah was so sweet and shy I am so happy she seems too finally found her voice

[@elizabethsmith6760]

Yeah that death threat thing took this video to a whole new level!!😬🤐 I really wasn't expecting that🤯😳

[@iminurwallspg13]

kaya says she loves her fellow cast members as much as jill loves botox i-

[@buffythechoreoslayer7904]

😂

[@sophian9105]

I never thought Nicaya was a brat, even though the show portrayed her that way. She just didn’t have that vibe. She seemed like a quiet, hard-working kid.

[@tonyawood2911]

I can’t blame everything on the producers. These mom’s still did what they did and they did it for money.

[@TheWillowSteele]

I LOVE this series!!!! Back in the day I was a big Dance Moms fan and this is helping me fall back in!!! I've binged most of this series in only a few day, it has really opened my eyes to the bts of the show. Keep up the great work!!

[@KeKe4Christ]

Kaylee is one of the top dancers in the country, she has the most insane technique I’ve seen. She is a sweetheart.

[@Sofia-kx3ft]

I love your videos so much! I'm not even a really big fan of dance moms but the way you present the information and your ideas is really great! I find it so easy to understand and I love the structure of these videos. Thank you so much and I hope you continue with this series

[@turnbluebaby]

It’s just so sad that these kids had to go through being thrust into the spotlight this young & had to deal with millions of people judging them & their moms, which is just as upsetting to a child.

[@marylickona6322]

I was so glad when I saw that you'd posted!! Your series is my guilty pleasure :)

[@y4el629]

can you talk about yvette? she is a very interesting character on audc and dm

[@taylorq8017]

Wow this is content I didn't know I needed.
