“When people hate to try and hurt me but this was my childhood…” read the text that appeared on the screen across the video. It started with Miller telling all of the other dancers to write a list of reasons why Siwa shouldn’t be a part of the Abby Lee Dance Company—the studio that founded by the instructor who is known for her brutal approach to teaching. The clip continued on with a scene of Miller telling the young dancer that she didn’t need to be a part of the dance studio while ripping her picture off of the pyramid wall, which was a way for the instructor to rate all of her dancers on a weekly basis. “She deserves nothing. Don’t have an attitude that you are entitled in this world. You are not. You deserve nothing else,” Miller yelled at Siwa. Other clips revealed some of the dancers saying that Siwa was “too loud” or “crazy.” The video ended with a shot of Siwa explaining that she developed a stress rash while filming the show.Siwa captioned the video with a quote from Miller that read, “‘you have to be ready to put your heart on a platter, and for someone to stab it’ - Abby Lee Miller 🫶🏼"“that sweet girl turned all that trauma into so much success 🫶,” one fan wrote, commending her in the comment section. Siwa went on to have a successful career from her Nickelodeon show to even appearing in Time’s 2020 list of the most influential people in the world. And it’s safe to say, she’s just getting started.
