I think it’d be interesting, if you can, to pull some scenes where stuff was orchestrated by producers/taken out of context and explain what really happened in them.. like how they manipulated a scene where Kira threw a bottle at the producers and made it look like it was at someone else.

[@monroe5602]

And what kalani said that all the competitions were fake

[@yuulfuji]

@@monroe5602 I’ve heard that the competition’s aren’t fake, but a lot of the dramatic screaming moments were.

My favorite bus moment was when Abby was trying to sleep and the girls put a Gummi worm in her mouth

[@jimmorrison4ever529]

Yeah, although producers told them to do things like that often. Scenes like that were a bit manufactured and fabricated for TV purposes.

I’m glad bus drivers have mandatory breaks. No one can safely drive for that many hours without stopping. I rode from Pennsylvania to Florida on a bus, and as much as I hated stopping in the middle of the night, I know it was super important. Thank you, bus drivers! 💜

[@janessaflorian]

When I did drivers ed, the instructor said that when driving you should stop every 2 hours so you don't fall asleep or anything.

[@NimlothEnnue]

Agreed! Abby really thinks she comes across good by dismissing very reasonable laws?! "I haven't seen that law", OK so look it up if you're so curious?!

[@theorignaljoshy6215]

They have mandatory hours to prevent them from falling asleep and injuring others.

I love learning more and more about what was really happening. Those producers should be ashamed. Not a single one of those girls, mothers or teachers had a shred of sanity by the time they were able to break their contracts.

“I was always late” 😂😂 Yea abby same, school can wait a little longer without me 😅

[@westmidlandstravels7110]

I’m a bus driver myself, we have to have breaks after 5 and a half hours of driving. (4.5 hours if it’s more than 50km), there is SO much more to bus driving than just “sitting on his butt”.

[@erin6320]

YOU literally have many lives in your hands, and around you that you are responsible for!! I appreciate you

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

So they don’t fall asleep of course!!

[@corimoon3360]

I wouldn’t take what Abby says seriously.

[@intotheunknown6736]

I think the producers were telling them to go the wrong way; so there was more time to create drama.

[@PocketLlama]

Abby, you look like a different person compared to dance moms. Love the glow up! You're so strong!

[@surlywithfabshoes]

When I was in dance our parents dropped us off and picked us up at the end of the night. If we were still in class, parents waited in the front dressing room by the doors. No one talked to the teacher, asked why the class was running late. The only time they would is if it was a special circumstance (used sparingly). If we went somewhere there were chaperones, and the instructors/owners. No pain in the ass parents in the dressing rooms at competitions, everyone always had what they needed. I can count maybe 5 times that something was missing or broken. Parents sat in the auditorium if they decided to go to the competition as a spectator, unless they were a chaperone. There were a few times that parents came back. A boy dancer peed their pants once and one poor girl got her period for the first time and needed to see her mom. That was really it. Parents worked bingos for fundraising and double checked that everything was ready and packed for a competition. My dad did step in when they would harass me about my weight. Not overweight or even anywhere close. He knew it would cause emotional damage in the long-term ( and he was right, it did).

[@mary-catherinecroshaw6369]

Same!!!! The entire concept of this show is insane because that's not at all how dance studios operate LOL and I bet it got on Abby's nerves so much because the parents would be so disruptive. We had a line taped on the floor between the waiting room and the studios that parents strictly were not allowed to cross.

[@sngray11]

Abby, you are such an incredible story teller! 💗 I love when you film videos like this one.

[@rebelliouss5334]

Because I wanted to say “look here’s my driver’s license, lemme drive this bus” Lmao Abby has a great personality outside of dancing but in dancing she’s like a teacher in high school you never get along with.

[@nicholasrobles3776]

I learned I could listen to you talk about anything!!! Love ya gurl

[@margaretkerr4591]

In Scotland, drivers legally have to take a 20 minutes break ever 5 hours of driving. It's health and safety, in case of accident due to driving distraction ❤️

[@ckilbarger01]

It's similar in America

[@deruderuderu6730]

you should talk about the promos shooting , the one from Take Me On was my favorite 😍

[@HardiSomal]

Abby looked scary when she was singing the wheels on the bus

[@Sweaty_toes9]

Abby I think they purposely just wanted you in rush hour. From everything I’ve gathered. These producers are horrible people. Taking advantage of children’s feelings. Manipulative behavior everywhere. Showing footage they only want shown. Honestly who would even want to work for these people. Glad you’re happy Abby.

[@jesusisking7886]

Abby is awesome for telling us this stuff!!

[@donnapierce3134]

I couldn’t have done those bus rides! Especially with a fricken camera in my space~ Now, if you drove the bus, that’d be another show of its own. Keep this up Abby, you’re a very entertaining personality (sans the moms)

[@robinhoogewerf6712]

I learned the producers were more interested in their own comforts than that of any of the moms, dancers, Abby or anyone else in that bus!

[@BabvBlues]

watching your channel convinces me you are not an awful person !

[@psalms9149]

I’m just finished watching the live stream ❤️

[@SimplySage-gx6my]

I learned that sometimes the less convenient is worth it for good stories. I also learned that producers need to be less controlling

[@esrosey6000]

It is true that bus drivers have to stop every few hours! In the UK I think it’s 4?? Or maybe 6? Just because it’s dangerous to drive heavy goods or people if you’ve been driving longer than 4 hours because of the risk of falling asleep at the wheel or loosing concentration

[@user-ly2pj6mf6g]

Hi Abby! Hope you are well today. ❤️

[@mikeykirchner7379]

“ Moving on “😂😂💀

[@abel7519]

Hi Abby! I have a question: I know being a teacher is hard, but did u ever begrudge ur position? There were so many times where it looked like u could've just chosen not to care what the kids or moms said or did-or u could've forgiven them esp if their behavior improved- but it appeared u never chose a more positive outlook. What made u never want to forgive them or at least not care to a certain pt bc at least u were getting paid? I mean this in the most polite way bc I think u could've been really successful if hadn't allowed urself to be ruled by whether or not a student or mom was "grateful" enough or past negative comments ppl said about u. Those two things seemed to rule u, and I think if u hadn't time would've eventually shown u everybody gets "theirs" in the end even if they become super successful.

[@alicex3522]

Please react to the s7 dances that you didn’t choreograph but as a dance judge/dance teacher rather than their previous dance teacher

[@myahitt1247]

Abby bus drivers can’t drive for 8 hours straight that’s why mandatory breaks were codified into law😂😂😂😂 no one should be driving long periods of time without stopping to sleep or rest.

[@surlywithfabshoes]

And we knew not to get out of our seats on the bus, other than maybe shuffling around a bit or go to the bathroom. We didn’t have to be told.

[@belieber3502]

It would be good to see abby react to the girls flexibility since they left the show

[@ethanproffit2284]

To bad abby didnt get her bus lisence that would have been to much to watch the moms talk about

[@pocketpanic]

Lol Abby would have a different outfit on almost every time she popped onto the screen, but if you're paying attention you will see a ton of repeats in the early seasons
