Maddie Ziegler of "Dance Moms" just released her tell-all book, and in it, things are not the way everyone would expect. A lot of people thought that she would thank Abby Lee Miller for her career, but Maddie actually snubs her and then even trashes her a bit in the book. So what did Maddie have to say?
Maddie's new book reveals her true thoughts
Maddie's new book "The Maddie Diaries: A Memoir" is out now and the main person that she thanks in her book is the singer Sia. Maddie got a great role in one of Sia's music videos, and she feels like this really helped her career a lot.
Maddie said that "Chandelier" made her more than just a girl who was on the show "Dance Moms" and helped open up a lot of doors for her.
Another thing that Maddie shared was that before she met and started working with Sia, she would say yes to doing things that she didn't really want to do, but that isn't the case anymore for her at all. Maddie was overwhelmed with how much work she was doing, and it was stressful on her.
After that Maddie Ziegler went on to say, "I haven’t loved every dance we’ve done. Some I thought were a little weird or silly, or even inappropriate for kids our age.” This was an obvious slam on Abby Lee Miller, considering that Abby was the one who picked out those dances and choreographed them for her.
This made it where everyone was a bit shocked that Maddie would even say this at all.
Now Maddie did thank the other girls at Abby Lee Dance Company. She said, "To the ALDC, Lifetime, and Collins Avenue, thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I love in front of so many people." After season six, Maddie Ziegler left the show and moved on to work on other things.
That is probably part of why she doesn't care what she says about Abby now. There is also a chance that Abby could end up going to jail in just a few short weeks once her fraud case is decided.
