And it's almost 2 hours?! So excited omg

Abby’s Yuge Prada

I think that in S6 Abby was also at her wits end with production, basically unleashing so much frustration because they were now targeting her, they used to protect her much more

Abby’s Yuge Prada

I would definitely be horrified if I ever found out my teacher was committing federal crimes from news outlets, like it’s crazy

Chloe wore Kendall’s costume when she did the First Ladies dance with the select team

I can’t say I’ll leave, but I’ll certainly be disappointed if they defend Jill yelling directly at Brynn next week.

It still kind of baffles me—and honestly annoys me—that Christi continues to make statements implying that Nia didn’t experience the same level of mistreatment in the beginning as Chloe, Brooke, and Paige did. Wasn’t it during Season 2 when Abby literally grabbed Nia by the arm and screamed that she didn’t want any “Tooties” on her team? If I remember correctly, Christi herself has said that the situation was so bad that all of the girls were terrified, hysterically crying in another room, and were eventually given iPads because of what happened. And I don’t recall anyone stepping in to defend Holly or Nia during that incident either. Then there was the constant barking at Nia when she didn’t pick up choreography as quickly as Abby wanted, repeatedly throwing it in Nia’s face that her mother had to work, and, of course, the infamous “your mother doesn’t love you” comment. And that’s not even getting into the racial comments, microaggressions, and other behavior Nia experienced from Abby from the very beginning—much of which Nia has discussed in her own book. So when Christi talks about Nia as though she somehow made it through Seasons 1–4 relatively unscathed, I honestly don’t understand it. Nia was mistreated too. Just because her experiences weren’t always shown or centered in the same way Chloe, Paige, and Brooke’s were doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. And that’s really the point: we only saw a fraction of what happened behind the scenes. Holly has spoken about Nia’s experiences, and Nia herself has now shared her perspective. I think her experiences deserve to be acknowledged without turning the girls’ trauma into a competition over who had it worse. Chloe, Brooke, and Paige absolutely experienced horrible treatment. So did Nia. Both things can be true. And honestly, sometimes I do wonder whether Christi and Kelly simply didn’t notice, didn’t acknowledge it, or chose not to focus on it because their attention was understandably centered on what was happening to their own children.

yeah and honeastly jill wasnt even the worst but they fly right by all of jessalyns snide comments and latch onto anything ashley says. I just hope they dont try to justify jessalyn laughing and mocking brynn for having a panic attack, or melissa pulling mackenzie away when shes trying to comfort brynn

Makenzi

Please go back and look at Melissa’s face when they are watching the news video & the seconds after. I’d love to know your thoughts as I always thought that her face just SCREAMS that she knows what’s going on

Vivi’s cut on her finger

They play trauma Olympics every week. They will automatically always think their kid had it the worst

Makenzi

Loved hearing your American accents with the word “wolf” 🤣

Shannon

It’s one American accent. I’m from New England and I pronounce it differently 😊

MAT

Bye 👋😘

Landon Ward

they haven't shared the ticket links for any of those ones yet

Sorry to state the obvious here but the blatant gaslighting that Abby does drives me insane I couldn’t imagine dealing with it irl. When she would tell the audience that someone was late, sloppy, fell out of turns etc, and then they cut to the black and white shot and that just wasn’t true at all, I would bet money there was times in rehearsal when she would rudely correct someone who actually was doing it right. It looked like she did it w Kenzie in the first group rehearsal scene. Im sure she did it to your girls back in the day as well.

Dylan Hallowell

“Now Jill’s outside with her fake bag” 💀 is my favorite line from this BTTB episode

Melissa’s Deflection Fly

i think that goes for any situation, as a mother, ur biased, it’s just human nature. i think that they moms can all only see it from each others perspectives up to a certain point, even tho they all were on the same show they weren’t in each others exact shoes, and it’s different trauma for everyone.

backtothebarre

Maybe you should hang in there and see where our opinions change AS WE WATCH MORE EPISODES. You have the privilege of knowing exactly what happens at the end of season 6 and we’re still watching them unfold. In fact, I’m pretty sure we say in an upcoming episode that we’re SURE Ashlee was told by production to say that Brynn is the “new Maddie”. Jeez.

Elizabeth Russell

had commented later in the show if your opinions hadn'tchanged I wouldnt want to listen to a podcast where a 13 year old was being bullied by a group of grown women. maybe you should go back and read my comment geez. From the comments in the video you werent acting like you thought tashley was told by producton

Kaitlyn Ramirez

I HAVENT STOPPED LAUGHING I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!

Angelo_interrupted

Absolutely true, and I agree 100% with your statement. However, I do think Christi and Kelly sometimes hold the other three ladies—especially Holly—to a different standard when it comes to who had their backs and supported them during and after their departure. They’re quick to point out that the others didn’t defend or support them enough during their mistreatment, but I think it’s fair to ask: would things really have been different if the tables were turned? If Holly had been the one to leave the show early, can we honestly say with certainty that Christi and Kelly would have supported her 100%? I’m not so sure. And that’s not me saying they wouldn’t have cared about Holly. I think they absolutely would have. But their primary focus was always—and understandably so—the well-being of their own children. So I think it’s a little unfair to judge the other women based on what they should have done without considering whether they themselves would have handled the situation differently if the circumstances were reversed.

Makenzi

Anytime you guys say the word “comb” but especially the dance teacher I laugh every time hahaha the accent is so great

Allanah

Just for the Halloween costume for Christie, a sweat band for your head or her band that is the fabric style that goes all the way around in a loop could also work for the base of the garter and if you use tape, it will stay up without any issues

Janice

Use hair chalk ..

Keri

Please read the field notes because at this point it all seems like what we are seeing is not what was really going on.

Janice

Kelly needs a better microphone please. Hard to turn it up because Christie is louder 🤷‍♀️

Sawyer Mariga

Please tell me yall are going to react to Abby’s legal documentary in the middle of season 7A and 7B on Hulu. I’d love to hear what yall have to say!

Valentina

Season 6 is Melissa's Godfather of dance mom's era. 😂😂😂

Even as an Ashlee and Jill fan, this is the thought that was running through my head when I first started watching your S6 reactions. In other news though, poor Nia and Kenzie here I'd have gone crazy if I experienced the gaslighting from Abby on their end.

B-TOZ

I’m so excited I’m finally caught up! And I love watching the edited videos on YouTube and then coming over here to catch the after party and the bonus clips.

Isabella

Constructive criticism that I hope doesn’t sound rude! But I think if possible it would be nice if Kelly got a mic like Christi has. Kelly sounds very quiet and Christi sounds louder so I have to turn the volume way up to hear Kelly but then I have Christi booming through my speakers 😂 it would just balance out the audio a bit!

Kelsey

I went back and rewound the episode to that section to be sure, and it doesn’t sound like Christi is talking specifically about the girls’ treatment. She said that Holly didn’t go through as much as they went through until season 5, which is very true - Holly was almost never the focus of the drama/fighting while Christi and Kelly were on the show. I don’t think they were saying Nia didn’t endure the same level of trauma as their daughters, they were saying that Holly didn’t experience the scapegoat role and thus couldn’t relate to their experience during seasons 1-4 until she started to take on that role in season 5. I think it had less to do with the actual treatment from Abby and was more about their experience on the show as a whole. That said, I think Chloe, Paige, and Nia (more than Brooke) undoubtedly experienced the worst from Abby, and the incident you described sounds more horrific than almost anything we watched on TV. That said, I really don’t think you can or should compare, because I don’t think trauma is clear cut or something that can be “ranked”like that. As a whole, over seasons 1-4, Nia didn’t experience the same level of *constant* berating and personal attacks that had nothing to do with dance, nor did she describe that in her book. That doesn’t mean the critiques about her dancing were delivered in an acceptable manner or that Abby wasn’t racist, but there is a difference between that and having an adult who is fully determined to portray you as a conniving snake (Chloe) or stupid and talentless (Paige) on one of the most popular reality shows at the time every single week - I’m not saying it’s better or worse, I’m saying it’s different types of trauma that aren’t really comparable.

Jenny Joy

They are. Christi ended up reading everything altogether and probably didn’t mention it ever time she switched back and forth.

Jenny Joy

It’s crazy how Jill and Jess seem to forget they came onto the team saying very similar things to Ashlee—that their kids were better than others (I.e., Kendall should be higher on the pyramid than Paige and Nia).

Ella Hager

She talks soooo fast sometimes it’s hard to keep up haha love her tho ofc

Ella Hager

Love when Christi reads but I enjoy when kelly reads

Lucylu

Hey ladies love this podcast so much thanks for always entertaining us! Just a Hot Take …. I believe Abby made a new team as a distraction… I think she will be able to miss court dates etc for filming and her excuse is having a new team of minis due to the older girls will be starting to move on same with the fact the girls were not allowed to take part in external activities so Abby can have a reason to miss court dates ! May be wrong but seems plausible 🩷

Angela Mannarino
