DANCE MOMS REUNION DRAMA IS A MESS

#dancemoms #maddieziegler #kenzie #niasioux #jojosiwa #spillsesh

[@fairypjm3603]

jojo doesn’t understand that she can’t speak for everyone’s experiences. she was on the show for not even two full seasons. maddie, mackenzie, nia and the other ogs knew abby before the show even picked up. they have a history with her. they don’t have to justify to anyone why they don’t want to do the reunion, and especially not to her.

[@Lanaxparillaxwife]

Finally someone who said it

[@lillikoi-]

Yup !

[@ckilbarger01]

Plus, the OGs signed up for a 6 episode docuseries and then got tapped in bad contracts. The Siwas and Kira & Kilani and Brynn & Ashlee had very different contacts and also knew going in what Dance Moms was. The Siwas, especially, were definitely just in it for the fame. If ANY

[@federicaf1994]

I believe she was invited because the show could benefit from her presence since at the time the reunion was filmed she had huge popularity. Nobody else was invited like Elliana, Lilliana, Brynn… It basically was the originals girls (including Kendall) + Kalani because she’s been part of the Og team in the last seasons and + Jojo who was invited for her popularity

[@kianaclercin6995]

Maddie said she literally can't remember fliming some scenes on the show and, it was shown that the adults arguing would make maddie cry a lot in the early seasons. Kenzie also stated that the show was very traumatic for her and Nia experienced lots of racism on the show. So NO neither of those girls have to come back and relive their traumatic experiences. They lived through and want to continue on with their careers. Let Them.

[@chwebeomgyu]

Jojo i defended Colleen Ballinger, friends with James Charles, Shane Dawson and Abby Lee Siwa should never speak on Maddie, Kenzie and Nia.. especially knowing how almost everyone spoke about the trauma from that show. But of course she’s continuing that cycle of abuse with XOMGPOP so its not surprising

[@ashlol4151]

Also, nia is in college and is apart of a sorority and i’m pretty sure she had stuff going on for that and that’s why she couldn’t make it.

[@BeccasaurousRex270]

Nia is an AKA, one of the Divine 9. She probably couldn’t do it even if she wanted to because such a prestigious sorority as AKA wouldn’t tolerate her being messy on tv like that. Nia has her priorities right, education and making something of herself.

And now we see the end result of Jess having never taught Jojo boundaries, when to shut the hell up, and what is and isn’t good manners. As far as Kalani, she’s talking out of her ass, but isn’t she really close with Jojo? This sounds like two girls’ conversations that are being expressed as separate (but in agreement) opinions.

Putting themselves back into that situation isn’t going to do anything for them, if anything it might hurt them. Also, I need JoJo to take many seats. Just because you had a positive experience doesn’t mean that others did as well. Also, realize that this is just producers using you for more money. You gave them years of your life, and they made a ton of money off of it. You don’t owe them anything.

They have every right to close the chapter on that part of their lives, especially because Maddie Kenzie and Niya MADE that show what it was before Jojo and these other girls were ever heard of and they were the ones who took the brunt of the abuse

[@that_muagirl_3746]

The fact Jojo thinks she can tell Maddie and mak how to feel about experiences she had NOTHING to do with 🙃. Nia, mak and Kenzie NEVER denied that the show made them famous. Or got them their start rather. Jojo is honestly the least tolerable member just like her bully mother

[@gabb-77720]

Honestly I think why the others are so mad is because they won't get as much money as originally stated if all previous OG cast members showed up, plus rating reasons, lower money and royalties

[@BonBon069]

You can be grateful for ur career but also it doesn't make it ungrateful if you dont want to go back.. two things can be true at the same time

[@Theesza_stan]

Not jojo having something to say. Imma need her to be quiet 💀😭

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Lol

[@dianac846]

I completely understood when MacKenzie said they didn't want to go back. Ya no kidding why would you want to revist and talk about your traumatic childhood being televised for the whole world to see? No thanks. If their living in peace let them live in peace without being triggered

[@harrypotter_clips]

Can someone tell me why jojo was even invited like no one wants her there

[@dianeandrzejak2221]

I agree with the fact that JoJo SHOULDN’T be saying ANYTHING about the girls not coming back for the reunion, those girls made the show!!

[@lozaejackson2194]

Nia is a UCLA student . Finals week at ucla is hell . She dosent have time for this lol

[@taylorboylen7963]

I’m glad Maddie, Kenzie, and Nia finally have the power to say no that they didn’t have when they were kids and that their moms have that power too. They fulfilled their contractual obligations to Lifetime long ago, they owe that network nothing. Maddie and Kenzie have done plenty of interviews and videos answering questions about DM and their experiences, they owe the fans nothing in regards to closure on that. They have every right to choose to move on with their lives and continue to make healthy decisions for themselves. Imagine having a 10 year reunion for your high school and shaming someone for not showing up because they “aren’t respecting where they came from”. No. Bye. I’m a long time fan of the girls and I’ll continue to be happy and supportive of whatever choices they make, whether it’s to do things like the reunion, or to stay home and work on other projects / schooling.

[@belenavalos228]

The show was a job they’re are crazy for thinking they owe them something you can see how the producers still have a hold on them

[@viviennemorgan7217]

the mothers along with nia, maddie and kenzie decide not to go to the reunion because they got something else to do and i respect that.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

but for jojo she needs to mid her own business and shut up.

[@jennifereilts3668]

Find it interesting that they are mad at those who didn’t show because it was disrespectful not acknowledging that the show gave you your career, but yet none of them can acknowledge the part Abby had in making them famous as well.

[@StitchloverQ]

I'm excited to watch it! Can't wait to see what they're going to say and stuff there was a part where Kendall asked Jojo why she leave now. A lot of people said that she left was because of Nickelodeon I really wish Nia, Maddie and Mackenzie was there but understand why they didn't want to come if I was on that show in. Abby was doing those things I probably won't want to go either

[@togetherbreakfast5456]

The people that no one remembers are the ones screaming about respect. + jojo who is just loud mouthed

[@Connie_slayz.]

In my opinion Jojo shouldn’t be there. She was barely even there, joined later and for her to speak like that about the girls was out of order. Maddie was manipulated by Abby. McKenzie was constantly compared to Maddie and shamed simply for having a successful older sister. Nia was constantly bullied by Abby and had an awful experience. Jojo barely went through anything and for me wasn’t part of the team, it seemed like to me she felt that it was a one man for himself situation. Jojo seemed more concerned about herself rather than being a team. She constantly hates on the ogs when she honestly has no right. In my opinion if Jojo was there then Brynn should be too, but having brynn there would feel almost wrong which in my opinion makes Jojo being there wrong. And if ur gonna say well why was Kalini ok to be there then, well kalini felt like one of the team yk she was nice and really brought the girls and the team together on the show. But anyways the point is Jojo is way over her head and should be respectful and quiet because the other girls did something useful with their careers whereas she made bows 😂😂
