Are you guys impressed with Melissa FINALLY speaking up against the dance teacher in this episode?

Comments

Alex Rodriguez

It should've been her all along, BUT it was nice to see and also interesting because it always felt like we weren't seeing what was really going on under the surface!

Ariya Maneklal

It’s good that she has finally is speaking up but I wish I didn’t take this long

Kenny Kahn

As much as I’d like to believe she spoke up to do the right thing I do believe a lot of the confidence to do so came from the fact she knew she was leaving and her children’s stars could remain untouched by Abby.

Hannah Van Dyken

I say yes, however she should have sticked up for Mackenzie even Abby was making comments about her stomach in season 5 which was horrible. I also think that Melissa only did that so that audience does not think she only favors Maddie and because she knows she is leaving soon.

Blue Jai

No because it’s just different. When Christi, Kelly, or Holly stand up for their kids it’s because their concern for their child’s wellbeing outweighs their fear of Abby’s wrath and sabotage. Melissa has mostly disregarded the negative impact of Abby’s actions on Maddie and Kenzie. Now, she’s only talking back because Sia has taken over Abby’s role in the Zieglers’ lives. Since Maddie has outgrown the show and Abby (and Melissa might’ve been working on getting off the show by now), she feels like “well fuck it, I’ve got nothing to lose.” I just respect that less since I don’t think having a backbone or protecting yourself/your girls should be dependent on whether you can avoid the consequences of that.

Liz DiscoBall

I really do love Sassy Melissa and season 6 but she also should’ve been doing this from the get go. Let’s be real though, Melissa got her girls where she wanted so she didn’t need to hold back anymore and could stand up to Abby so that’s why it took this long

Siân

Should of always been this way, it took til the fact she knew she was getting out of her contract or whatever to give her the confidence to speak up, just a shame that by this time kenzie had no confidence!

Sara

No, I feel that she was only speaking up now becuase she was already on her way out. Melissa and Maddie/Kenzie (but Maddie more) already got what they needed from Abby and the show. The speaking up (to me) looked like a way to silence the critics about her not speaking up throughout the show.

Jenny Joy

It seemed like an act to me. Maybe she was just uncomfortable because she never spoke up to Abby before , but it didn’t feel genuine to me—like she was just doing because of criticism from the other moms and fans.

nicolergr2012

The only consistent thing about Melissa on the show is protecting the bag at all costs. She's just secured her coin elsewhere that's it lmao. Plus she dipped from the team what, 12 episodes later? She already knew she was gone so what real repercussions are there now

Adrianne Wilcox

Her standing up was great, but to me it seems obvious that she was doing it bc she was leaving that season. In my opinion, she would be up abby’s ass in the previous seasons and not fight as much. So that her kids and herself came across as better, but the minute she didn’t need abby (or the show) she fought back. (this is not hate to maddie or kenzie, they were just kids when this was all happening).

the car seat off christi’s porch

melissa really only stuck up for herself and her kids bc she knew abby was a sinking ship and she already got everything she wanted out of her so she just stopped giving a f about what abby could do to her girls bc she knew what was coming for abby.

jadeteass

Melissa being fed up with Abby in 6 was great, she was actually getting ready to blow.

MAT

She finally spoke up which is nice, can’t give too much credit though because she waited until she basically couldn’t be effected unlike those who spoke up the whole time

Haley Deboe

I’m happy to see her speaking up against Abby. It just makes me sad that she didn’t do it in the early season. I feel like she knows she’s leaving very soon so she’s like I have nothing to lose, but I don’t think she should’ve defended her kids in the early season especially Mackenzie because Abby was awful to Kenzie.

Kelly's my favorite dance mom

No, now that Maddie has success, Melissa doesn't need Abby anymore. She probably wants off the show so she can travel with Maddie. And maybe she is done with Abby because she had something to do with Abby's indictment?

MISS AURA

Im torn because I mean a least it was about time, but I kind of hesitate giving her full credit because at this point she had nothing to lose because Maddie & Kenzie were so far getting so many outside opportunities, whereas none of Abbys retaliations could of interrupted that at this point. Plus, she knew she was planning on leaving. I mean Melissa clearly doesn’t live on the edge & we all knew that!!😂

Kelly’s screenshots!

The only reason she spoke up was because she was already planning on leaving and she didn’t need Abby or the show anymore.

Alyssa Christine

Sassy Melissa is an eye roll because oh now you decide to care!!

Sarah Triolo

May seem like a hot take, but I think people are over exaggerating it as Melisa standing up for herself. I don’t think she really said much of anything at all, and obviously they never see her stand up for herself, so they would’ve used all of the footage that they had of it which to be honest isn’t a lot of footage. We may see it here or there, but it’s not a continuously ongoing story of Melisa constantly standing up for herself or her kids in the same way that you guys did. So I think people are still giving Melisa too much credit.

Siléan Brady

I voted No and for more than just this reason. My reasoning is bc I feel it was very calculated on Melissa’s part to choose THIS moment to start speaking up bc she knew she was gonna be leaving the show shortly so she didn’t have to be a doormat for Abby anymore! So in essence there wouldn’t really be any lasting consequences for Kenzie or more importantly (in Melissa’s eyes) Maddie in the way there were for Chloe, Brooke, and Paige when Christi or Kelly spoke up. Melissa was and is always somehow two steps ahead of everyone else!

Shannon

Melissa just seemed on the verge of a breakdown to me. Her speaking up didn’t feel confident to me, just out of control.

Elle

Agree!! She was such an insecure woman she turned her kids over to “strong” females that basically she allowed them to take her place as the mother. She gets on my nerves so much, but I give her grace bec I know her mom passed away I think she was still kind of young. She probably didn’t have a role model. But buck up and figure it out… why would a person give carte Blanche when it comes to her kids. She did not protect them at all. Kristi Kelly and Holly are mothers

Zoey

I voted yes, and I think it was great that Melissa finally stood up, but I felt like if she had been doing that all along it wouldn’t have been as powerful if you know what I mean

Ursula

She secured the bag, which I don’t hate or judge because we all would’ve done that… I do hate and judge that she let others get told they weren’t “as good” as her daughters when she was planning on leaving. I don’t think she’s a bad person because she’s doing everything for her children, but gosh sometimes we have to be selfless and think of others too.. she should’ve stood up for the girls (and Kenzie!!!) wayyy before season 6. Idk it was giving “leech” like once she had no use for Abby she moved to SIA. It worked though and I applaud her for being smart to do that! I’m 50/50 on it lolll

hawaii20300

where did season 6 episode 1 go? it was there and then it was gone

Blue Jai

I think that’s a fair take. Melissa was a stage mom for real. Showing care and protecting her girls became confused for getting them opportunities and resources. With the fact that we rarely see overt affection and we, as viewers, can tell “this kid is going through some heavy emotion rn,” it makes Melissa look very bad.

Kait :)

I truly think that this is how she should’ve been from the beginning. But I strongly believe that since the start of season six, Melisa already had it all figured out that she was leaving. And she also saw from Christi and Kelly that when you stand up for your child people like you more. I think she just wanted to go out with a bang

Rinedi

This is what I preach

Jill's Fedora

Her sassiness came 6 years too late. I like that Melissa is standing up to Abby now, but the 6 seasons that she didnt was really annoying.

Sharon (Wants the Prenup Necklace)

too little too late and honestly I think it’s a pretty bad look. she was justifying her actions from seasons 1-5 saying that she’s just good friends with Abby and loyal to her dance teacher, but as soon as her show contract was over, she didn’t need Abby anymore, *and* Abby was under fire with legal issues, now she’s sticking up to her? 😶

Sarah Triolo

PS I don’t think telling Abby to stop critiquing her and then crying to her saying how much she loves and supports her is her standing up for herself.

Brianna Burton

She probably told producers that since this is her last season that she would finally step up

babs

i guess both? i’m proud she’s finally stepping up but like… where was this melissa the whole time??

JohnMonty03

Melissa knowing her exit regarding the show. This is my opinion, I feel that Melissa was beyond done with the show. Knowing the trajectory both of her kid’s popularity and notoriety. She was essentially going to expose certain situations, where in earlier seasons she knew the full extent of the situations but would either deflect or not say anything on camera to have the heat on her.

Lyz

My problem is it’s so blatantly obvious that someone said, okay if you want to actually leave the show you have to fight. I don’t know if it’s bad acting or what, but it’s obvious that her reason is not because she actually wants to defend Mackenzie

Couch from Christi’s lawn in “Last Text”

My hot take: People have speculated that Holly started bringing the drama in season 5 because production helped with Nia’s music. I think one of the reasons Melissa got to leave with such fanfare for Maddie was because she started bringing the drama too. It was about fulfilling her end of the deal (in my opinion), and not about actually finding her voice and finally sticking up to Abby.

Tipi

I think she should've spoken up way sooner, if I'm thinking about the kids, friendships, team spirit etc. However, the show would have not been the same if Melissa wasn't on Abby's side. Her "two-faced character" played a important role on many of the shows storylines imo.

Elizabeth Russell

No it took her too long and i lost a lot of respect for melissa, and jilll this season for their treatment of brynn. Kira and jessalyn had already shown their meaner sde and willingness to mock a chld in season 5.

Pinkelephant47

Happy for her kids, yes. Impressed? No. It’s the bare minimum and really felt in genuine. Suddenly when her kids had stuff going on outside the ALDC she had the balls to speak up.

Brieanna Hynish

She is only like that because Maddie is the financial support now so she doesn’t need dance moms and knows it.

Brieanna Hynish

Agreed 100 percent….. god I hope those kids are okay after these strenuous codependent famous relationships happened
