[@charlotteja9082]

i just love these videos soo much. Lots of greetings from germany

[@tracylatak2970]

I feel like they took advantage of the cast and even abby because they didn't know that much about how Hollywood worked

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

The Dance Moms producers are psychos!

[@Gabngaff]

I think this is the wildest episode yet!

[@Mordeomaneater]

I needed this early tea 🫖☺️

[@chimemorris5488]

Waking up at 4, staying overnight on a bus, working 10 to 12 hours a day that they don’t have time to shower, missing days of school, lying about the time and not letting kids leave until they finished practice but the adults got to leave!?? How is this legal!??

[@editsoftheday7917]

Hello I have a video idea: I was wondering if you could do one on the New Orleans fight between Christi and Leslie? I wanna know more about it because it was so edited and so mysterious. Maybe you could uncover it?

[@prettypatrece]

Christi and Peyton both talked about it on KZbin. The fight was mostly staged so Christi and the family could go on vacation yet no one told Leslie so she was going 100.

[@editsoftheday7917]

@@prettypatrece yeah but I just wanted to know what they said because you can hear Christi say “sorry I’m a real- DANCE MOM and I’ll stand here” like something between real and dance mom sounds so edited I just wanted to know. Kinda wish they had production notes for season 3.

[@prettypatrece]

@@editsoftheday7917 The production told Christi she had to do something big in order to go on vacation. The fight happened without no one telling Leslie. Why Christi is mainly standing there and Leslie is all riled up. You can search Peyton video talking about it and dance moms. I forgot which video Christi mentioned it in since she has so many.

[@chloelukasiakhq]

@@prettypatrece The fight was also staged because Chloe had an audition the day of Nationals.

[@chloelukasiakhq]

[@Gopissgurlx]

So early there’s no comments or facts 🥲🥲🥲 so excited fo this

[@GoneColoring]

The producers were all seemingly evil monsters. Cruel, heartless, and psychotic.

[@singofhulufhelo]

😊😊this girl really does her research

[@luckytiger6746]

See what I don't understand is, when their contracts expired, why would the mums come back? Like surely Holly and Melissa's contracts from season 1 couldn't last until season 7, they had to have signed back on again.

[@valentinarichard1602]

None of this shocks me, what shocks me is the mom's allowed this to go on. The moms signed a contract without taking it to a real lawyer, then they whine about not having time read it, really? Then they stand around and watch as their children are abused, they whine because the producers say they are going to sue, I'd say bring it on, pathetic.

[@AAA-kr7nh]

That's what I don't get as well, like it's obvious contract for tv will be strict and have many unpleasant things in it not to mention that it was obvious they will manipulate what they say ,cut out things and put together totally unconnected pieces to create some drama and make them look bad , I am kinda shocked they didn't pay more attention to that cuz Holly was stuck in this hella long , signing something for such a long period of time wasn't smart and I assume they were told what are the consequences of breaking the contract or trying to get out of it,the fact that Cathy said it was clearly stated that they aren't responsible for any accident or even death is a huge red flag itself

[@Juanzoniero]

I love your videos! They're so good!

[@wwozanewmusical]

Abbey is lying through her bucked teeth about the residuals, these actors and these kids are getting paid every time they air these shows. We don't know for sure how much the family's been raking in for the reality series, but many have speculated. In 2009, reality TV producer Terence Michael told E! News that reality show families earn about 10% of a show's per-episode budget, and he suspected that TLC budgeted around $250,000 to $400,000 per episode.

[@bethmissbenett]

Thos producers are disgusting!!! No wonder why the girls hate the show :(

[@trep40]

Oh yeah, the dance moms like Kelly, Holly, Christi, Melissa are not following Abby on instagram.

[@joliek3173]

Does anyone else remember when kalani drove all the girls without a license when she first got her car?

[@KC-bc2tb]

We all know Abby was well aware of everything going on. She was the greediest person I’ve ever seen.

[@iamsevenm]

Can you talk about the episodes where Sophia Lucia was on the show please?

[@SafinaFlipse]

One question when the owner of energy said one of the kids was lying what lying?

[@cherylb2008]

Sounds like sleazy reality TV manipulation
