Abby Lee Miller Speaks Out for the First Time on Nia Sioux’s Racism Claims

Abby Lee Miller, the infamous star of “Dance Moms,” has recently found herself in hot water after former student Nia Sioux accused her of racism on the show. Nia, who was just 10 years old when she first appeared on the reality series in 2011, detailed her experiences with Abby in her memoir “Bottom of the Pyramid.”

In her book, Nia recalls instances where Abby made racially insensitive comments, such as asking her if she wished she had “white-girl hair” and naming her solo performance “Nattie of the Jungle,” a number about a child raised by monkeys. These revelations have sparked controversy and raised questions about Abby’s behavior towards her students.

However, Abby has a different perspective on the situation. She maintains that her memories differ from those of the girls and insists that she did a lot of good for them during their time on the show. She also points out that none of the kids were under contract and were not obligated to stay with her dance company.

Despite the allegations made against her, Abby has chosen not to pursue legal action against Nia. She views it as Nia exercising her freedom of speech and has decided to let the matter rest. Abby credits her survival of a cancer battle as a reminder to live life to the fullest and not let negative experiences bring her down.

“It is what it is,” Abby states, reflecting on the situation. Currently, she is in New York City enjoying Broadway shows with Todrick Hall, showing that she is moving forward from the controversy. Nia’s memoir, “Bottom of the Pyramid,” is now available for purchase, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes drama of “Dance Moms.”
