The ‘Dancing With The Stars’ pro SLAMS ‘Dance Moms’ in a Twitter rant! He is horrified at how kids on the controversial Lifetime show are being treated!
On Lifetime’s Dance Moms, teacher Abby Lee Miller will go to any extreme to turn the young girls she teaches into dancers. Now Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough slams her drill sergeant method in a Twitter rant. “I’m sorry, but this Dance Mom show is straight up abusive,” he wrote. “Kids run!”
“It ain’t right,” he continued. “Child abuse isn’t right. I’m livid right now. I believe in discipline and a strong work ethic. But there is nothing productive about screaming and making little girls cry over being on the wrong foot.”
Abby teaches students between the ages of six and 13, but she sees nothing wrong with screaming at the youngsters or hitting a student with a foam baseball bat!
Derek’s co-star Mark Ballas was also outraged at the teacher’s behavior. “This lady is crazy,” he wrote on Twitter. “Completely wrong attitude towards the kids, it embarrassing. Horrific tactics. Correct teaching is patience, discipline, confidence building and love. She needs a reality check.”
Mark added that he switched off the show after only watching for 15 mintues! “Only reason I wld watch is concern 4 the kids, she needs 2 B fired.”
What do YOU think of Abby’s behavior? Is it abuse? Should she be fired?

Okay seriously it is a TV show no one is going to sit and watch a dance instructor be patient and calm telling the girl what foot to be on they want to see screaming and throwing chairs. Come on people today only care about drama and unethical tactics. its truly sad that anyone even takes this show seriously, its completely fake and its so obvious. Only a stupid person would believe that a sane person would allow child abuse to be aired on the channel.
