In 2011, the reality show Lifetime dance moms it has become the quintessential guilty pleasure entertainment . Viewers tuned in to see Abby Lee Miller’s dance troupe dominating their competition, while their mothers squabbled, with Abby or each other. But amidst all the chaos that followed over the years, one thing was basically guaranteed: Maddie Ziegler was about to win. However, it wasn’t just trophies and celebrations for the young dancer, and she walked away dance moms and her controversial dance teacher in 2016. She recently talked about the show that made her famous and why she has since moved away from it.
Maddie Ziegler has come a long way from Pittsburgh’s Abby Lee Dance Company. She has worked with Sia on several music videos, in which she was a judge So you think you can danceand has appeared in several TV shows and films, including Pretty little liars Yes To all the guys: PS: I still love you. More recently, she played Velma in Steven Spielberg’s film. History of the west side Yes starred opposite Jenna Ortega in The results . But to do all this, he told her Cosmopolitan first had to shake up the reputation of this one dance moms had given him. Ziegler said:
People thought I was a brat because in all my interviews I said, “I’m the best.” I know I will win. But that’s because the producer told me to say so. I don’t think I’m better than the others. I was just doing what they told me to do because I thought that was what you were doing. They prepared you for failure.
To be fair to everyone involved, Maddie Ziegler was often the best and usually won, but it’s still a ridiculously big goal to put on a child’s shoulders. Take this and add in the constant complaints from other moms that Maddie always got the best solos, the best costumes, the most attention, etc., and it was pretty obvious that none of the dancers were having much fun. The YouTuber said that although she was only a girl (she was 8 when dance moms premiere), it was the most stressful time of her life:
I was having more stress at that age than when I left. I have become so detached from that moment. I’ll see fans posting Dance Moms scenes and I literally don’t think I even remember it happening. It’s weird because there were some really amazing moments, but there were also a lot of things that weren’t really great for us guys.
So wait, being abandoned by all the adults around you and watching your mother fight and cry and get kicked out of the dance studio. I did not go a situation you’ve wanted to find yourself in for over six years?
Maddie Ziegler said she had to unlearn so many things Abby Lee Miller taught her in this “toxic environment,” adding that she hadn’t spoken to her former dance teacher since leaving the series. (Miller, on her part, he pursued Ziegler and his other former students in April for not contacting the dance teacher he served eight months in prison for financial fraud). Not only is the 19-year-old ballerina not going to talk to her former teacher about her again, but she even refuses to look at her old men. dance moms episodes The only time he tried, he said he had to turn it off:
I saw a little episode in the beginning to show my boyfriend because I was like, ‘You can’t watch this, but I’ll show you what I looked like. And we both said, ‘It’s sad. We need to disable it.
