Abby Lee Miller
'Bad Moms' film premiere, Los Angeles, USA - 26 Jul 2016
EXCLUSIVE: Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller doesn’t flinch as a gymnast SOMERSAULTS over her during an outing to an LA beach. The reality TV star, 55, bravely lay back in her wheelchair as the muscular shirtless performer ran towards her then vaulted above her. Miller, who shot to fame as the star of hit show Dance Moms, has been using a wheelchair after undergoing surgery to remove a tumor from her spinal cord after reportedly being diagnosed with a form of cancer called Burkitt Lymphoma. Miller’s visit to the beach in Santa Monica, CA, saw her talking to a man and a woman dressed in workout gear before giving him a series of dance lessons. An onlooker said: “Abby was in great form and started giving the guy dance lessons. "She was teaching him to move and how and when to move his feet and it seemed he was struggling to get the hang of it. It was like she was back on the show Dance Moms and was shouting orders at him to ‘move to the side’ or ‘back right’. She appeared to be trying to teach him ballet just like she did to kids on the series. “It looked the guy had some gymnastic training and so afterwards they did a stunt where he ran at her and somersaulted directly above her.” Miller spent eight seasons on Dance Mom and previously taught Joelle Joanie “Jojo” Siwa. In 2017 she was sentenced to 366 days in prison for bankruptcy fraud. 31 Aug 2021 Pictured: Abbey Lee Miller.

Bio:
Abby Lee Miller (born Abigale “Abby” Lee Miller on September 21, 1966 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American dance instructor and TV personality. She grew up in Pittsburgh, where she now owns and operates Reign Dance Productions. Abby gained a love for dance from her mother, who ran several dance studios herself. After spending summers assisting her mom at her studios and accompanying troupes to dance conventions. Although she loved the art of dance, she hated performing. So, at the young age of 14, Abby opened Abby Lee Dance Company, of which she is still the chief choreographer. The dynamic of her studio and successful coaching technique inspired the Lifetime show Dance Moms in 2011, which has since become an international phenomenon in its five seasons. In October 2015, Abby was indicted for allegedly hiding more than $755,000 in earnings from Dance Moms, which has resulted in charges of bankruptcy fraud, concealment of bankruptcy assets and false bankruptcy declarations. Because of her charges, Abby could spend up to five years in prison and face more than $5 million in fines She originally pleaded not guilty to the charges in November 2015. However, on June 27, 2016, Abby reached a deal with the IRS criminal investigators to enter a guilty plea. She was sentenced to one year and one day in jail in May 2017, and began her sentence in July 2017. She was released early in March 2018.

Best Known For:
Abby is best known as the star of Lifetime series Dance Moms. Since the show began, she has earned a reputation of being an extremely tough coach who practically takes a no-sympathy approach on her young dancers. While this has made for a popular reality TV series, it has gotten her in some legal trouble with past dancers.

Personal Life:
In June 2014, Abby confirmed an engagement to actor/TV host Michael Padula. But one month later Abby admitted that she and Michael faked their engagement in an attempt to soothe her dying mother, so she could be at peace knowing that there was someone to take care of Abby. As of October 2015, Abby is single.
