'Dance Moms' Mentor Abby Miller Quits, Claims Abuse; Show Brings In Cheryl Burke As Coach

Coach Abby Lee Miller has finally decided to quit "Dance Moms", according to her Instagram post last Monday. She later claimed that the producers have abused her during her time on the reality show. Pro dancer and choreographer Cheryl Burke will replace her as coach on the show.

The new "Dance Moms" season will be very different, considering that its main coach, Abby Miller, resigned recently. According to E! News, Miller's legal drama disturbed the show's schedule. A source from the Lifetime network told the publication that the producers have done everything they could to make Miller happy, but the dance coach was not satisfied.

In fact, Miller went on to say that the "Dance Moms" producers manipulated and abused her. The show's crew didn't offer a statement against what Miller claimed, but Lifetime did reveal that Cheryl Burke will be a guest choreographer. Aside from her, dance coaches like Erin Babbs, Nakul Dev Mahajan, Debbie Allen, Aisha Francis, Laurieann Gibson, and Travis Payne.

Cheryl Burke from "Dancing With the Stars" will join the upcoming "Dance Moms" season. The show has just been picked up for four more seasons. A source told Entertainment Tonight that the show will continue whether or not Miller is around. Miller also told the publication that she didn't have it easy on the reality dance show.

She went on to express that she had to struggle with costume budget cuts. She also said that she often bought things for the competitions with her own money for six years. "I bet you she's treated differently," Miller said about Burke. The "Dance Moms" coach also said that she quit the show because she didn't want to work with the production team anymore.

Miller continued to say that the "Dance Moms" producers treated her with disrespect. Lifetime did not release a statement about Miller's claims, but a source close to the company said that it was Miller who made unreasonable demands. Miller also refuted the rumors that she was fired. When asked if she wanted to return to the show, she said that it will only happen if a certain producer is gone.
