  • Happy for you guys!

    I am so happy that you guys finally get to share your stories and your truths to the world. This podcast really opens my eyes to how produced reality tv is and how horrible your environment and Abby was. Now when I watch the show I keep an open mind on what might’ve actually been happening behind the scenes. The ads can be al lot sometimes and sometimes go on for 10 minutes but I understand that you guys don’t receive any money from lifetime anymore despite being on your hit reality show that’s ... more

  • Same old story

    I like listening to the podcast and what really went down with everything, but I really hate when Christie will go into detail when it comes to Maddie and only Maddie she doesn't do it with anybody else and every time she speaks about her She speak speaks about her, trying to make her look bad and it's annoying like get off that kid back she resents that girl and is clearly jealous of her. It's like she wants her daughter to be Maddie.

  • Moving too slow.

    I don’t know if they are dragging this out because Christy’s time on the show will soon be over, but I am looking forward to their reactions to the way Holly was treated and Abby’s unhinged behavior. I feel like they are more focused on other projects and Back to the Barre is just rushed. I feel like this week’s episode was a total advertisement for their new pillow talk which I am not interested in. It wouldn’t be so bad, but when I subscribed to Patreon I want to hear about Dance Moms and I d... more

Q: What were your first impressions of Kelly and I?
When I came in the show, the show had been going for three seasons and it was great... I was intimidated, definitely, because I was like, you know, they're not new cast members.
