‘Dance Moms’ Star Abby Lee Miller Returns With New Favorites, Brynn Rumfallo Snags Lead Dancing Role
After much speculation -- and drama -- over her exit, Abby Lee Miller is back for the next episode of "Dance Moms." The hit Lifetime show will welcome back the prodigal coach, but is it smooth sailing from here on out? Don't count on it.
According to the synopsis on TV Guide, Miller's return might not be the happy reunion the fans are hoping for as the 49-year-old coach is poised to focus on her new favorites: the mini dancers.
"Abby's back, but she's only focusing on the minis; and a new mini auditions for the team," the synopsis revealed. "Later, the moms complain when Brynn is chosen for the lead role in the junior team's only routine; and Brynn's future at the ALDC depends on a win with Maddie set to return next week."
A report from IBTimes revealed that the moms are not thrilled at the events in the studio and there will be conflict with Miller once again. In a preview of the show, one of the moms Holly Frazier confronted her and asked whether she's really back for good, to which the coach answered with a smile, "No."
The coach is often scrutinized and criticized for her tough approach on her charges in "Dance Moms". In an interview with In Touch Weekly, Miller addressed the negative feedback towards her, saying the job is her passion and defending her style of teaching.
"I'm to the point now where I respect and listen to my kids," the reality star explained, adding that coaching is her "one true love".
There have been comments of Miller being a bully towards the young dancers, but she denied the charge and countered, "I'm a tough coach, but if I'm giving you my time, my energy, my tutelage -- you have to give back. You have to make me proud of you."
"I wasn't put on this earth to make kids feel special," Miller pointed out. "I was put here to make them dance."
Of course, the "Dance Moms" drama isn't the only major problem that Miller is facing these days. Much of the buzz surrounding the reality star is on her pending bankruptcy fraud case. The legal troubles of Miller include indictment for two counts of bankruptcy fraud, five counts of concealment of assets and 13 counts of making false bankruptcy declarations, according to a previous report from Latin Post.
The next episode of "Dance Moms" is set to air on Feb. 9 on Lifetime.
