Abby Lee Miller reportedly wanted to sue the federal prison in California where she was held for allegedly failing to provide her with adequate medical attention. A source told Radar Online that the Dance Moms star had allegedly “complained for months in prison about the pain” but was dismissed as “a drama queen” and someone who “just wanted to get out of prison.”
Miller commented on her medical situation in prison during a 2019 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show. “The prison doctor took me off all of my medication for my thyroid…for diabetes. Cold turkey. Everything,” she said. Miller alleged that because she lost weight, she was told: “You don’t need [the medication] anymore.” When she was asked about the aforementioned lawsuit, Miller said she was “still discussing” her options.
In and out of jail, it was apparently difficult for Miller to receive an accurate diagnosis. “I went to six different doctors in ten days,” she told Williams. Miller initially thought she had a sinus headache. Then, she went to a dentist because her jaw was numb. At one point, she said she was hospitalized but the medical team found nothing wrong. Miller said she wound up “in intensive care, paralyzed from the neck down, in the fetal position.” The reality star told Williams that she completed ten rounds of chemotherapy, but was supposedly “cancer-free” after the third round. When Williams asked why the chemo had continued, Miller rhetorically quipped, “You tell me.”
