"Abby Lee Miller has announced she's quit Dance Moms with an Instagram post in which she also accuses Lifetime producers of 'manipulating and disrespecting' her. The 51-year-old reality star shared a photo of her with her winning nationals team on Sunday night as she revealed she won't be returning to the show after seven seasons." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4354326/Abby-Lee-Miller-announces-s-quit-Dance-Moms.html

Just read this article about her too http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/03/13/why-former-dance-moms-star-maddie-ziegler-was-stressed-at-11-years-old.html

ICYMI: PITTSBURGH – "Dance Moms" star Abigale Lee Miller, already facing federal bankruptcy fraud charges in Pittsburgh, has now been charged with failing to report Australian currency she brought into the country in 2014. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/21/dance-moms-abby-miller-hit-with-foreign-currency-charge.html

Maddie: 'I don’t want to always be seen as a reality TV person,' she told Hunger magazine of her decision to leave Dance Moms. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3534666/Teen-dancing-queen-Maddie-Ziegler-dazzles-models-series-dramatic-make-looks-whimsical-Paper-magazine-shoot.html

"The Zeigler sisters recently revealed they will be leaving the show after season six" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3489786/Ray-sunshine-Maddie-Ziegler-wears-bright-yellow-dress-joins-sister-Mackenzie-Dance-Moms-cast-Kids-Choice-Awards.html

This show used to be a fav of mine too but that stopped real quick over a year ago.. For those that may have missed this, here is a new Maddie article .. "Talented teen dancing queen Maddie Ziegler has added another feather to her cap after starring in a dynamic video for dancewear brand Capezio" Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3439311/Teen-dance-star-Maddie-Ziegler-black-sheep-ballet-world-pulls-sensational-routine-dynamic-dancewear-campaign.html

Here goes more security but no mention of mom.... "Maddie Ziegler celebrates Seriously Popular award win with Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller at DailyMail.com People's Choice party... as she reveals plans for film with Sia" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3388335/Maddie-Ziegler-celebrates-DailyMail-com-s-Seriously-Popular-win-Dance-Moms-Abby-Lee-Miller-People-s-Choice-party-reveals-plans-film-Sia.html

I was a little thrown by the article & the bit about the 24/7 security also, wonder if mommie dearest is just playing it to the hilt.. I feel saddened for both the girls Maddie & Mac because looking back at other 'child stars' they don't tend to grow up to be what was expected of them.. Hope I'm wrong in Mac's case because she appears to be the most humble of the two IMO.. I see they've announced the new series start which should be interesting..

In case anyone missed this article on Maddie: "She is now so successful that her mother has hired a security team who monitor the star 24/7" "Now she models for Polo Ralph Lauren and has landed a role in 2016 film, Book of Henry, with Naomi Watts. Celebrity Net Worth estimates her fortune at $2m" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3354659/A-s-2016-India-Rose-James-Maddie-Ziegler-teenage-stars-need-know-worth-LOT-you.html

Wonder what Cathy must be thinking about now & if she had a hand in turning ALM in ?

Hiding income & not paying income taxes on it is not what the IRS likes to read or hear... "Dancing With The Cons" episode 1

"Investigators also found emails from Miller to her accountant and a joint venture partner in 2013 with the subject line "LETS MAKE MONEY AND KEEP ME OUT OF JAIL," admonishing them to "not raise any red flags" and "DON'T PUT CASH IN THE BANK!!!," according to the indictment. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/14/us-people-abbyleemiller-idUSKCN0S825C20151014

When I posted the article & the indictment on Twitter earlier Maddie picked them up so I'll have to ck DanceMoms twitter pages to see what's happening

She also neglected to pay income taxes on that money she hid that's another Federal offense... FWIW I just put this article on Twitter also http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/feds-dance-moms-star-hid-show-income-bankruptcy-34470268

I was just going to post the indictment notice.. http://www.justice.gov/usao-wdpa/pr/reality-tv-performer-charged-defrauding-bankruptcy-court-hiding-assets-and-lying-about thought Maddie's step father lent her money to keep her out of bankruptcy
