[@EverHeartK98]

The fact that she won't even say the name of the show let alone talk about it really says a lot about what the girl has been through because of it. So glad to see her thriving now.

[@oreowilldunkya]

She’s trying to do other things. She’s shouldn’t be remembered as just this girl on dance moms she’s just moving on. Everyone picked on her on that show too.

[@brogan-zw4of]

Exactly, dance moms she didn’t like because of abby and the moms but she’s friends with them except abby she didn’t like abby

She doesn’t have to say the name of the show. She’s not there to promote it.

[@icefaeriechlo]

All they have to do is Google her.😂

[@ClairesUniverse]

i wish the people who only saw her on the show could see how different she is in real life. Obviously, we don't see everything. But, producers want a story and drama so they will portray you a certain way. She truly is grateful and kind and it reflects in all of her projects after the show.

this is also not her real life she is faking everything its all Scripted 😂

[@Ttt-rt8ce]

@@STACEYXRENEEno you need to 😂because defending a person who you know nothing about but see online and automatically idolize is actually pathetic.

[@STACEYXRENEE]

@@Ttt-rt8ce Girl what? Don’t reply to me if you don’t have a smart response. My original comment was to them, not you. And lastly it has nothing to do with me “idolizing someone I don’t know irl”, but it’s about how the comment I replied to don’t know what they actually went through on a daily basis when they were doing dance moms. There’s so many people who think it’s scripted, and fake or they believe everything that hypocritical narcissist Abby says, and they blame the moms for not leaving sooner, even though they were under contract. Kelly tried to leave so many times, all the moms did but it was only shown that Kelly would try to leave them come back. But that’s not the case, even Melissa tried to leave in season 2, because the producers, and they weren’t getting paid enough and had to split a small amount of money. The moms thought it was going to be a 6 week documentary and it was called just dance, and that’s what they were told, but they didn’t know what they were really getting into. They signed a six year contract, but the only ones who broke contract and could leave was the hula de cause of the physical altercation in season 4 episode 7, and the lukasiaks in season 4 at nationals where Abby made fun of Chloe’s eye when she had a eye condition called silent sinus . It took a lawyer and sia to help the zieglers get out of season 6 in the middle of the season, instead of the end of the season. And Nia who was the last of that stayed all seasons except for season 8 because Abby went to jail and she was done with Abby already and the trauma and mental abuse she had done. Abby and the producers are true monsters and manipulators. Watch dance moms uncovered by mackzboss, to find out behind the scene drama and what was edited out and what didn’t make it to tv.

[@happyblackwoman6154]

When people ask Maddie Zeigler about dance moms, she has every right to talk about the good, bad, and the ugly! Every time she says something negative, she gets overly criticized. Leave this girl alone! This is why she rarely brings up dance moms because the world jumps down her throat if she doesn't say it was perfect. If yall watched the show, yall would know this girl was stressed

even though she doesnt dance much anymore, she still hold so much respect for those who are interested in her past which is something so commendable. it was so traumatic for her and everyone else on that show but she will never say a bad word about dance, she will just highlight the positive. shes a lovely person and i hope she continues doing what she loves 🩷

[@Hannah-do9jl]

I’d bet anything a lot of these comments were actually about dance moms but in order to get her on wired they agreed not to ask anything directly about dance moms which is why she was so “relieved” about the end of it all

[@Anonymouslittlebee]

I was suspecting that too, most of her interviews avoid asking about dance moms which I actually like the show not being mentioned, she's doing lots of amazing things now that need more attention than a reality show she did almost ten years ago
