This show just makes me feel frustrated. Abby Lee Miller is manipulative, deceitful and unprofessional. She wants to be in control of everyone and uses every sick trick to make sure she gets what she wants! She'll make nasty, snide remarks to the children which are meant for the mother she's picking on. Not a good role model for the girls who pick up on her moods and nasty character.
She should be making the girls feel welcome, enjoy dancing and uplifting their self-esteem instead of belittling them! Jill wants to be a good little mother because she knows Abby will make her daughter suffer if she puts her foot out of place. She doesn't have a backbone. To me, Holly has integrity, patience and wisdom and struggles to hang onto that with the sheer frustration of being unable to change the negativeness. Unfortunately, bullies like Abby are rampant in society, so it's best to learn how to deal with those sorts of people!
