Lifetime has renewed Dance Moms for Season 6, though there could be trouble ahead for host Abby Lee Miller, who faces five years in prison for fraud and $5 million in fines, per Deadline:
If found guilty, Abby Lee Miller could end up behind bars for as long as her show has been on TV. The Dance Moms star was indicted Tuesday by a Pittsburgh grand jury on 20 counts of fraud. Miller is alleged to have hidden more than $755,000 in earnings from the Lifetime reality series produced by Collins Avenue Production and related businesses from the courts and the taxman. All of which could end up costing Miller five years in prison and more than $5 million in fines if convicted. “Criminal prosecution is appropriate when debtors corrupt the bankruptcy process through deceit and lies before the court,” said U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton bluntly today announcing the indictment (read it here).
With Dance Moms Season 6 already filming, a guilty charge could see Lifetime reverse its decision on Season 6, though the network has yet to comment on the situation.
Lifetime has yet to set a release date for Dance Moms Season 6.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the renew/cancel status of Dance Moms…
Started filming season 6 today of #DanceMoms! Get excited!!!

I doubt it will be back. Anyone want their kids anywhere near that woman now? Oh well. She can do the cell block tango again. 🙂

Abby bullys those poor kids terribly and I dont understand those girls parents,why do they keep bringing their kids back to her? she clearly favors Maddy and treats the rest of the girls like crap these moms need to protect their children from her
pat says
I couldn’t take how she treated the children. I stopped watching when she left Cloie go. She was nasty to Page. Maddie did no wrong.Abby should be charged with child abuse. How could the moms let that abuse go on. Why would you let your child go through that. I wonder if those kids got some wqell deserved consoling
pat says
I hope she goes to prison and gets her self a girlfriend.
