A year ago, Abby Lee Miller was living in a halfway house after serving time in a federal jail. She was getting ready to start her life again, but then she got devastating news. She had cancer. While she has gone public with her battle, she has not really talked about how she was diagnosed. That was something the tabloids did until today when she opened up about it on social media.
One year ago today ~ I underwent emergency surgery for an infection in my spine. This mass/tumor choking my spinal cord turned out to be Burkitt Lymphoma. I endured ten rounds of chemo therapy (each lasting 6 days with 4/ 24hr bags pumping poison into my body ending with a spinal tap in 3 spots, plus another shot of Chemo into my tailbone area up the spinal cord around my brain cavity) Ten times! Another spine surgery was needed & I have one more still to go. I struggled thru months of physical therapy to learn to sit up again, to crawl and maybe with a miracle someday I’ll walk. Why didn’t the ER Doctors on duty do their jobs? I came in twice with the same symptoms? Why didn’t somebody listen to me, the patient? I finally found the right team that’s why I lived to tell my story, I have a lot to say! Thank you to all wonderful top notch professionals who continue to help me heal. For those who missed it, misdiagnosed me, and the so called Federal “Doctor” who took me off medication cold turkey and the other ER “Doctor Hollywood” who told me to go home and take it easy for 10 days – STOP practicing! Please 🙏🏻
I cannot even imagine going through all of that. She needs to focus on getting better and not on the doctors who screwed up. Those doctors should read this and realize their mistake and make sure to never do it again. Doctors need to listen more and spend less time typing everything down. Maybe if they did, then fewer people would be misdiagnosed. I had a doctor not listen to me, so I went to another doctor who did and diagnosed me in 2 minutes. Needless to say, I stopped going to that first doctor.

Lifetime released the first look for Dance Moms season 8 and Abby Lee Miller is still a very mean screaming woman who belittles children.
You would think a year of being in jail and beating cancer which left her unable to walk, would make her a little nicer. But I think it made her even more of a horrible person.
To me, it is sad that someone can be so miserable. She has so much to be grateful for but she yet she comes off as so bitter for some reason.
Her kids would be dancers if she was more encouraging and less disparaging to them.
A few weeks ago, Abby Lee Miller revealed that she will be doing another season of Dance Moms for Lifetime. Earlier this week, she flew back to Pittsburgh to begin filming.
The original elite team has moved on to do movies and TV shows, so she needs a new group of dancers for the reality show. Today, she posted a photo on a bus with some kids and their moms and wrote, “On the road again… I can’t wait to get on the road again! We’re headed North to New Jersey for Starbound! Any advice for us?”
Is this the new cast for Dance Moms? She did not say, but I cannot believe anyone would want to do the show after seeing how she treats people. Then again, I guess people will do anything for fame. I am sure DM helped to catapult JoJo Siwa’s merchandising career. We definitely know it helped Maddie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak and Nia Frazier become actresses. Without it, they would just be high school students in Pennsylvania.
Whenever I see JoJo Siwa still wearing her hair in a high ponytail with a huge bow at 15, I think she needs to give it up already. It was cute when she was a kid, but she is in high school now. It is more sad than cute.
Then yesterday when she was on The Tonight Show yesterday, she told him that she has sold over 45 million of them this year alone. As soon as I heard that, my bow was off to her. That is beyond crazy.
She had my respect until she explained their purpose. She says if you wear one, then you are a member of the Siwanator. That means you are “strong, confident, powerful. You believe in yourself. You believe in everyone. You love everyone. You support everyone.” Then she added, “Say you are at school and you do not have anyone to sit with at lunch. And you see a kid wearing a Jojo bow, you know you can sit with them because they are Siwanator.” Teens, is that true these days? I don’t remember having friends because we bonded over wearing the same thing? It is a nice theory, but I just don’t believe that. Do you?
When it comes to Jojo, was she this annoying when she was on Dance Moms? I get it, she is 15 and she is full of energy, but I am exhausted after watching that.
Come January, she will be back doing Dance Moms without the girls we know because they have all moved on to do movies and television shows. Therefore you have to wonder who will watch because as much as she thinks it is all about her, it wasn’t. That is why her other shows on Lifetime all failed.
Plus, you have to wonder what the F is Lifetime thinking to get back on the dance floor with her? Did they forget all the headaches she put them through? And that is just listening to her voice when she barked out her demands.
Personally, I say it is time to let the show go away. It had its moment in television history and now that book is closed.
