In May 2020, JoJo Siwa told Us Weekly, “Dance Moms would not have been the same without Abby [Lee Miller].” She went on to say, “You don’t need to give her the credit for everything, but you also can be a human and have a little bit of sympathy. She’s gone through it in these last years, and she doesn’t have that many people. It’s just sad. … I try to be there for everybody, you know? There’s enough love!” Abby has been through a lot. She went to jail for fraud in 2017 and battled cancer soon after.
Dance Moms gave JoJo a great start, but Abby gives praise where it’s due. In a 2019 E! News interview, Abby remarked, “Look at JoJo. She wants it. She works nonstop.” Abby added, “She films nine episodes or nine little stories a week. She would edit them herself.” In a 2019 interview with 2DayFM Breakfast, Abby dished on JoJo’s work ethic. She said, “I’m so proud of her. She’s a hard worker. JoJo’s mom and dad, they don’t go into the meetings. They don’t run those meetings with the executives. JoJo does.”
Although Abby isn’t on great terms with other Dance Moms alums, it seems that she and JoJo understand each other. JoJo is grateful that Abby gave her a platform to hone her craft and gain exposure. Abby is proud of JoJo for taking on so much and working very hard for her success.
