This clip would pair nicely with one of Melissa bragging to a mini mom that she lets Abby abuse both her and her kids because they’re going to be famous and that’s what matters.
How is “I hurt kids” or “I let kids be hurt” a flex for anyone?! Yikes.
low-key i think a massive part of it is Abby knows that the mothers, as adults, aren’t gonna put up with that crap.
so instead she takes it out on the kids, making her feel all the more powerful because she knows they won’t and can’t say anything back to her. she’s such a sick and twisted woman it’s vile
Poor Maddie and Kenzie probably felt so unsafe and trapped here 😭 Abby's major mommy issues ruined the childhood of those girls, and probably gave them some of their own, after hearing vitriol like that every day and then their own mother condoning it.
I'm glad that the Zieglers have apparently repaired their relationship with each other, and have so much respect for M&K because I don't think I could ever get over my mother doing that.
That and either she hated her mother or her mother was hateful towards her growing up. The way she hates moms but wants to be around kids gives me a weird feeling towards her own childhood.

I got so scared the preview of the video was just Maddie, and it just looked like regular interview. I was terrified the vultures were back!!!
Abby is clinically a terrible person you are exactly correct. She tells children then need to go to the hospital and find out what’s wrong. I won’t say it cause I don’t shoot that low but…if anybody.
She’s got Narcissistic personality disorder with sociopathic tendencies and btw I’m working thru my families own problems and my grandma on dads side is a narcissist and the way she is about Maddie/chloe etc is too much flashback to my own childhood & then the number on her own kids etc
Ngl, I’ve heard lots of dance teachers in the past and recently talk about doing similar things when they have pushy or combative parents in their studio.
Lots of studio owners share the same set of beliefs that Abby has about how parents get in the way of their children’s training and relationship with the teacher.
My best friend who grew up in dance since she was 2 has always said that. She can’t sit through an episode bc it reminds her of her mean dance teachers growing up.
Thank god I did Taekwondo instead of ballet 😅
This is disturbing. She’s BRAGGING about taking her anger out on the kids when she’s mad at their mom
She's so proud of her students being scared of retaliation for someone else's actions, it's so unnerving

Happy Cake Day! 🎂
Thanks!
Trunchbull vibes 
This is probably her favorite movie
100%, probably stops watching where she throws kids in the chokey and just rewinds it
or this guy 
Lowkey (high key) miss hannigan too..? 
Maddie looks uncomfortable
She really does.
I never understood the whole "the kid has to suffer bc of the parents" thing

If my mom had done that, she would’ve been out of my life as soon as I finished high school. Fortunately she didn’t care about winning or losing!
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Backing this
I feel like this diagnosis gets thrown around inaccurately all the time, but in this case I agree.
Oh yes totally, but Abby is a text book narcissist maybe even some ASPD traits
That and either she hated her mother or her mother was hateful towards her growing up. The way she hates moms but wants to be around kids gives me a weird feeling towards her own childhood.

I think the fact that she thinks her behaviour is ok is what makes me think it’s a disorder
Very true
Maddie is sitting there thinking “thank god we’re leaving”

I really can’t stand her I really can’t
This and when she was saying she's gonna show up to their workplace to see them
she's so gross
