The former Lifetime star says her Dance Moms favorite has a questionable recollection of their time together.
The Big Picture Dance Moms was a polarizing show because dance teacher Abby Lee Miller didn't care to spare her students' feelings. She normalized ranking the students and showing favoritism. The parents sometimes tried to stick up for their children, but it usually ended with them staying around for Abby to continue treating them harshly. Abby left and returned to the reality TV show multiple times. She last announced she was leaving in 2020.

"I had more stress at that age than I did once I left," she said. "I have dissociated so much from that time. I’ll see fans post scenes from Dance Moms and I’m like, I literally don’t even remember that happening.
Maddie said she felt guilty about leaving and Abby was "distraught." "She trained me, she helped me, but also, I knew I would be OK without her, and I was sick of being in a toxic environment," she said. "I was like, 'This is not for me. I can’t do this.' I haven’t spoken to her since."
