[@sanny-nk9re]

Melissa should have told Mackenzie earlier because it's not fair to her

[@leochen9680]

Maddie and Mackenzie both didn’t want to stay on the team anymore and with Maddie having different jobs now, they were more stressed out. They both had a say and the producers just made it that it seemed like Mackenzie didn’t know what was happening, for the show.

[@mahrukh9816]

Mackenzie knew but the producers told her to act like she does not know whats happing

I think Melissa should’ve spoken to Kenzie about it, she spoke to Maddie about it but left Kenzie out. It was her decision to make too, not just Maddie and Melissa’s.

[@cringelisous816]

Emily Taylor and it’s Melissa’s decision not yours you don’t now what happens a lot of this is well and truly fake

[@mayajanelle6704]

I feel like it had something with trying to make the whole Mackenzie and Maddie leaving more dramatic and scripted...just my opinion.

[@ringlets28]

In an interview Maddie said that Melissa didn't tell Mackenzie because Mackenzie is a blabbermouth and would split it out to everyone before they should have known

[@ringlets28]

But Mackenzie should have still known

[@janicelalala6559]

She knew that they were leaving soon but she didn't know that it was gonna be in 4 weeks. The girls both didn't want to stay any longer they discussed it before

[@zach1961]

Pretty messed up Mackenzie had no choice, it was pretty much Maddie's decision.

[@bradleyhayter3320]

Mackenzie is like what is going on

[@lilygarner8463]

It was mainly because maddie was ready to go do new work- if shes famous etc why stay on that team when u can do better stuff

[@MsJubjubbird]

She's like 11. She doesn't really get a choice. Melissa actually said one of the reasons was the girls were becoming teenagers and privacy was a big issue with 60 hours of filming a week. Mackenzie doesn't get to decide things like that.

[@sallygoldstein3048]

I love Kenzie she should have had a say in it after all she's also leaving

[@abigailvanauken7175]

I bet they’ve wanted to leave for a long time but their contracts wouldn’t let them quit until after season 6 unless it was broken like Kelly.

[@kaylahill5460]

Nah and the beginning of each season they sign a one year contract

[@chrissy9153]

Kayla Hill not for lifetime that was just to dance at the ALDC. If you look it up they all signed a 6 season contract with lifetime.

[@chrissy9153]

Nya Marie Kelly was expelled and christi had to face repercussions from breaking the contract and you also don’t know them personally as neither do I but from the way both of them speak about dance moms they clearly didn’t like it

[@suekelley2109]

Chloe and Christi got out after season 4. Melissa : McKenzie you need to listen to this because you don’t know even though this massively effects your life, but your sister is far more important to me than you are so I’m pulling you out of here without bothering to ask you how you feel about it. Poor McKenzie. She should go live with her dad although he only seemed to care about Maddie too.

[@suekelley2109]

Christina hale Christi got out because Abby was destroying Chloe. If they had gone to court - and I don’t know if they did or not - I can’t believe those contracts would have held up. Torture and abuse are not legal no matter who signed what contract

[@giuliaferrucci6662]

Did they really decide it without even telling Kenzie?

[@starsongdoesstuff8027]

Just so everyone knows: Kenzie was telling Melissa how she wanted to leave for a while before this so, although it wasn’t set in stone until now, it wasn’t a complete surprise for Kenzie. So for everyone saying that Kenzie should’ve known before this, she kind of did. It’s not like she had absolutely no say in this whatsoever, it’s what she wanted.

Maddie and Kenzie leave Jill: this is the best opportunity for my little Kendall

[@zurisadaihernandez3108]

Mackenzie's face the whole entire time after Melissa said the news : *°~~°* Edit: Woah most likes I've had

[@K1893]

Has anyone else noticed that Jojo just randomly disappeared during Abby's speach, like she and her mom were there and then they just disappeared? If that doesn't scream blatant editing then idk what does.

[@laurenmac]

I was just thinking about that! when Melissa was telling all the girls they were leaving I seen JoJos mom but not JoJo

[@joannebae8504]

Maddie and Kenzie: Leaves Jill: "ThIs Is ThE pErFeCt OpPoRtUnItY fOr KeNdAlL"

[@sanofersyed8477]

2:33 who saw Jill smiling Jill in her mind: my little Kendall can get a solo now

[@anonymous-od1gv]

😂😂😂 leave my little kendall alone

[@ari7961]

3:47, the way Nia's smile just directly turned into a frown was heartbreaking

[@toca_hailey9496]

Yeah 😢

[@ALDCSunshine]

Of course, this was one of the saddest moments on the show. But I do have one thing to wonder about. Only Melissa and Maddie knew that they were going to leave the team. Kenzie was completely out of the loop. They made the decision together, without her. And I don't think that's fair. Of course Maddie was getting all sorts of opportunities, and Kenzie had a lot more opportunities after she quit the show. But she at least deserved to know that she was leaving, like Maddie did. When you do something for so much of your life, it's very difficult to process it getting taken away from you. Maybe Melissa thought Kenzie would react to it poorly and beg to stay with one of the other girls or something of the sort; but either way Kenzie should have known. It almost makes me think that Maddie was the only one who was offered opportunities off the team, so Maddie was the only one leaving to get more opportunities and Kenzie was just leaving because she had to follow her mother and sister. Lowkey just saying this because I miss Brynzie haha

[@fr.denisse9667]

Mackenzie did know they just did it for more drama

[@MsJubjubbird]

Mackenzie was younger and didn't get a say. Melissa said one of the big things that made her leave was privacy. It's hard to get an 11 year old to understand that when most kids don't get self disclosure until about 13 or 14. Plus Melissa can't just go and leave MAckenzie there. Or send Maddie home. She wants to be with both her kids. Plus she has a husband and stepkids too that she needs to think of. Probably should have told her in the morning but maybe she was scared she would tell Abby herself before Melissa did-and Melissa should be the one to tell Abby.

[@juliahart721]

I feel like they both made the decision for kenzie tbh. Because they didnt like how she was treated by abby

[@vampireThea]

I think it was also possibly a legal issue why they left? Abby said something about an attorney. And there was a lot of rumors at the time of this airing there was some legal stuff wth whatever.

[@sammaliu]

Holly is such a sweet mom. Always putting kids ahead of the parents gossip.

[@aandgplayzroblox8671]

Omg the way Jill smiled when Abby was crying in the mirror was hilarious she was probably thinking “NoW iS tHe TiMe FoR mY lItTle KeNdAlL tO sHiNe”

[@steventaylor1522]

Abby: I love each and every one of you Me: *rolls eyes*

[@cindymann3457]

[@kaitlyng4422]

4:04 my heart broke for Mackenzie 😭

[@tayabellx5545]

Kaitlyn G her face just dropped n she didn’t have a clue

[@SoggyMuffin007]

Melissa : We’re leaving the ALDC. Ashlee : Okay so who’s gonna get to shine next. No but really, Ashlee ticks me off so much.

[@charlie-ec9zx]

Abby: *starts to cry Jill: This is a great opportunity for my little Kendall.

[@tabitharoberts9517]

Holly will only be the only ALDC original member

[@valeriamarian7717]

3:29 when Kenzie says “It’s not about abby ITS ABOUT ME” my mind just went to one of the first seasons (I rlly don’t know the exact episode I’m sorry) when Kenzie says “it doesn’t matter about the dance, it matters about me IM EMOTIONAL”

[@wendyestrada6028]

When I see Mackenzie's reaction she made me cry really hard it's sad that their leaving because their amazing I will never ever forget them because they were like everything in the studio I love them their adorable amazing they did a lot of fun things together with all the girls I hope they never forget what they did and that they always know everything that abby tech them Love you Mackenzie and Maddie

[@sheepnc8888]

Yeah

[@emmakelleher]

Abby: I just don't want to see Maddie on So You Thing You Can Dance Kids. Melissa: Oh, don't worry. She will not dance or be on So You Think You Can Dance Kids. MADDIE ENDS UP BEING A JUDGE ON THE SHOW!!!

[@abbyrose7924]

She just said she won’t be dancing or competing

[@idefkatp]

But she didn’t dance ....But Kenzie danced with sage 😂😂😂

[@emmakelleher]

@@idefkatp That is Dancing with the Stars, Maddie did some dances with Travis Wall in the show So You Think You Can Dance.

[@graceblondell7320]

this whole dynamic is so unhealthy i can’t get over it

[@graceblondell7320]

i hate when she says “if i didn’t love kids why would i do this job” uh no u have narcissistic issues and break kids down to make urself feel better. that’s why u did the job

[@lilsariah1694]

Is this just me or did it sound funny in the beginning...no just me...ok🤣

[@cindymann3457]

I didn't notice.......

[@joceyjos4956]

Riri’s Life “hi, it’s just me” I didn’t notice 😂

[@doryz2991]

"everything with mAdDIe and that." And she didn't tell mackenzie

[@marinadonnna]

Zeiglers: *leave* Everyone: *upset* Jill: now finally my little Kendall..

[@jackieschaiper2454]

ever since they left the show has gone down hill, then it started back in 2018-2019 for season 8 but it's just not the same. Melissa is right, they aren't replaceable.

[@trinitykelly4691]

I love holly. She always tries to get the kids out the room before the drama explodes or if it does explode she gets them out before any bad is said. 💙💜

[@addyt4436]

[@BubblesBear17]

For the people being mad about Mackenzie not knowing: both Maddie and Mackenzie wanted to leave the show when they did. They did take mackenzies choices in for a count of course. They probably just didn’t tell her because she might have accidentally spilled the secret beforehand if she would’ve known.

[@majormana1]

we think she just didn't know exactly when those of us who know things from interviews. though maybe sense Kenzie is good actor Melissa did tell her and made seem like she didn't who knows.

[@randomuser5465]

I started crying when they all started hugging in a group and crying😣😢😢

[@elinawhite717]

i love how holly is the first one to take action in situations. she’s the first one to remove the kids and think about what’s going on. it’s like she’s the only person that can think clearly.

[@alaynahadlock8301]

abby: "i don't want to see them on so you think you can dance kids." Melissa: "no, Maddie isn't going on it." Kenzie: hahah well about that

[@juliasong5165]

Holly is such a queen 👑 the way she made sure to escort everyone out of the room Love her

[@gigabbyte_]

I love how Jill is just looking in the mirror and having like the biggest smile on her face “This means that now my little Kendall will have a solo!”

[@YounqRidaBby]

I don’t like how they didn’t tell Keniz about the leaving dealing . But of course Maddie knew all about it. So it’s like they talk about it without Keniz .

[@julesburton769]

Ashley Edwards right

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

Melissa: don’t worry Maddie’s not going on- she is not going to *dance* on so you think you can dance kids She didn’t say she wouldn’t be on the show though! Meaning she must have known that Maddie was going to be judging haha

[@maryam.jameel.jameel]

Am I the only one that started crying when Melissa said “we have been here for a long time” like dam I grew up watching this show idek why I am crying but I just went down memory lane, like I remember s1,2,3,4 will never be forgotten after those seasons I didn’t look at dance moms the same, I sometimes wish that Chloe and Brooke and Paige would have never left.

[@melanieswam4818]

I love how melissa bought brynn in the group hug

[@meghanhargis3887]

“Can we stop fighting then?” SAY IT MELANI

[@lifewit_ad3lynn]

(Jill after the Ziegler’s leave): “mAyBe mY lItTlE kEnDaLl cAn bE a sTaR lIkE mAdDiE.”

[@kickinbackwithKeira]

After Maddie and Kenzie left I felt like Abby lost her love of teaching dance. She was slowly losing that love already but it was like completely gone after they left

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

Holly: go stand out here Nia: whispers something Holly: no, don’t go far Me: what did Nia say?? Was she asking to get ice cream? 😂

[@r.harris5615]
