I so wanted Leslie to react to the drama and fights and arguments and Brooke being better than Peyton and she deserved to be on the team that she more loyal.. I Love Leslie and Peyton and yes I think she should have been a permanent member on the team she wasn't a quitter like Brooke and Paige and Kelly every season they left every episode they had a problem.. but Peyton no matter how many times she got let Down she kept dancing helping the team and supporting Abby Lee Miller through everything... that's a team player and that's a loyal student

pls do more "DANCE MOM" related videos

[@MadisonHarlow]

Omg I’m shocked to find out you are only 5 foot 4, they made such a big deal out of your height on the show I thought you were much taller. I’m 5’4 and people consider me short most of the time. Something similar happened with me though, I went through puberty early maybe around 11 and everyone called me tall. I was always the center in basketball and the spotter in cheerleading because of my height until probably the 9th or 10th grade when I stopped growing and so many people surpassed me. I was never called tall again. Aren’t you and Brooke the same age or very close in age? If anything she must be on the shorter side because no one had an issue with her height on the show. I’m glad to see you doing well and wish you luck in L.A.

[@steventaylor1522]

Madison MakeupnMacabre 5'4 is tall compared to how tiny those girls were

[@brith9752]

Remember the other girls are only 9/10 when Payton was on the show so if she was already 5'1-5'2 at 14 the other girls would have been like 4'3 (The average height of a 9 year old) so she would have been nearly a foot taller than most of them.

[@alexwhite4856]

yeah the later you hit puberty usually the taller you'll be e.g. Jojo lol

[@jacindarose4561]

Madison MakeupnMacabre a lot of people stop growing at around 16

Yeah Brooke is only like 5'1 bc she broke the growth plate in her back before the show even started.

"point your foot payton abby can see you and she is going to rip your head off" 💀

[@chloe_3787]

They even said it themsleves, Payton looked completely out of place with the juniors. She was just so tall. Whatever happened or didn't happen, that's why she didn't dance with them and that's why she didn't get as many opportunities through the ALDC. They had to make her the big, bad one in dances because how else was she supposed to look natural with those tiny little kids. Payton can dance; her solos looked great! But Abby couldn't have a dancer who only did solos.

[@rockerwithawalker]

Welcome to the real world where people are allowed to have their own opinions. When put, or are placed, in a visual reality show that is shown to the public, they should be able to deal with the opinions the "players" and their respective parent have, about how their persona is portrayed. The point is that you should support this young ladies' opinions, because she is speaking out against the treatment she endured. Just as you were treated unfairly in this t.v. show. Just as the rest of the kids and moms were used for ratings and accolades. If my children were treated the way you all were, that studio would be closed. No studio...no show. Regardless of the aspirations of the dance teacher. Who is not a very nice person, but plays her victim card very well.

[@chloe_3787]

Thadrah Bounds I know you commented this a long time ago, but why did you use “you” when referring to the kids on the show. I understand my name is Chloe but...you didn’t actually think this was Chloe Lukasiak right?

[@sophiececile9946]

Chloe _ Yeah, I just think it was unfair how Payton was treated. Like, she wasn’t even on the show for a while and she was fine with it, but they wanted a villain, so they chose them after Leslie got upset about Payton’s rehearsal time being hijacked by the mini team (totally understandable).

9:24 it's about women being on the verge of a breakdown. I think I remember it being a dig at Christi who Abby claimed was gonna break down. I would assume that's why she had Chloe scream at the end.

So there's a unknown dance moms fact we learned from this that during the verge Chloe screamed at the end of the dance but they blurred it out. 12:23 that dance was actually one of Abby's favourites, it was in her top count down I think it was like 2, That dance where she said was the only one they all danced in I swear I never saw, I swear I watch cut versions of the show with scenes missing in the UK fun fact dance moms #2 we learned from what I get when Payton said about the fight, Christy wanted to go on a holiday so they thought up a storyline for her to be away from the show, by tossing Lesies drink, to get a reaction from her without her knowing Leslie overreacted and flipped out so neither Chloe or Payton could dance at nationals when they weren't going to anyway.
