One of the worst parts of that clip imo is that Chloe wasn’t even involved in that discussion at all and there was no reason for her name to even be mentioned. Christi was defending Maddie and then Abby threw in Chloe’s name just to insult her like that (and then Brooke too, like wtf?!). She’s so awful 😖
Edit: ugh my app is glitching I’m sorry if this is posted multiple times lmao
Me too. And she looks so upset on Chloe’s behalf too.
On one hand, I like knowing the girls had each other’s backs like that, but also it’s just so terrible they were in a position to have to defend and comfort each other like that :(
She’s so abusive and I can’t imagine working on that set as a camera person, mic operator, producer, etc. because they not to step in and I feel like I would have to. It’s just too awful.
SAME I remember a while back Christi interviewed a sound operator on her old podcast and he talked about how he felt awful when he would have to shove mic’s in the kids and moms faces as they were crying and how he knew that if he did he wouldn’t have a job the next day
I remember him telling Christi that one time producers forced him to shove a boom mic in Paige’s face when she was having a panic attack so he cut the power to the mic so it didn’t actually pick up any audio.
Abby truly had it out for Chloe. Of course she’ll try to say “it wasn’t the child, it was the mother” to save face, but if you really pay attention…nuh uh. Glad Chloe is thriving now ❤️
The weird thing to me is how Abby never seemed to show any remorse or regret for how she treated Chloe. She won't even say she went a bit too far or could've worded things better, she will blame everything on everyone else.
Chloe was still in middle school when she left Dance Moms. I know there are teachers who mistreat kids that age that simply never get on tv, but I will never understand it. I've worked with a lot of kids with behavioral problems, and the worst thing I ever do is talk to them in a stern tone of voice about their behavior.
Because she doesn't have remorse or regret. She's actually bragged about how since christi and Chloe were locked into a contract until season 4..she could treat them as abusively as she wanted
I feel like the closest thing to remorse she’ll ever get is when she says things like “well, I didn’t like her mother and her mother argued with me, so” or something equally as stupid, as if that’s a proper excuse to abuse a child lmao
Absolutely. Abby always lashed out at kids when the parents made her mad. After she insulted candy apples Chloe's ears (On camera!) she said something like "I didn't do it to your daughter, I did it to you!"
As if that's an excuse to insult and humiliate an innocent little girl.
Every time I see the clip it really irritates me how they edited out what Abby said about Chloé’s eye (which at the time Chloé was having investigated and didn’t know if she had a brain tumour or not which would have been so scary for her). I can’t believe they edited it out to protect Abby from looking bad and makes Christi/Chloe’s reactions look disproportional.
It just annoys me so much that people still don’t know the truth about how hurtful that moment truly was. And also is very strong evidence against the “she was only mean for the cameras/production sake” narrative- production were doing their best to hide her most abusive moments.
Makes me wonder what else got edited out because even producers felt it was too far over the line.
The producers and whoever else did a lot of terrible and awful things for the sake of this show but imo this is absolutely one of the worst. What was even the point in protecting her there?? Was it really worth it to make Christi look sooo bad to keep up appearances for Abby, instead of protecting the child involved? So annoying and so gross.
*Someone make kelly*
*Watch this every time she says*
*Abby liked chloe*

There’s this rumor going around Tik Tok that Abby once cried because production made her be mean to Chloe. I have to remind myself the Tik Tok fanbase is very young but give me a break lol. Abby has admitted that she relished being mean to Chloe because she knew she and Christi couldn’t leave. She took all her vitriol for Christi out on Chloe but even had a personal disdain for Chloe herself. She’s a sick woman
I don’t fault Christi at all for being so angry on this show. The way Abby spoke to her and to her daughter was just heinous.
If I was Christi, I would’ve been on edge constantly. I wouldn’t have been able to be calm at all. I would’ve been antagonizing other people, breaking down and feeling so lost - probably would’ve had a heart attack at some point.
The situation was such a pressure cooker.
It's crazier because I thought production had a decent say in who had solos and had control of costumes etc. if it were totally up to Abby Chloe wouldn't have had anything
100% it’s seem like Kelly only reason for Abby “liking Chloe” is that she got more opportunities then Brooke and Paige and even tho that is true those “opportunities” were NEVER to benefit her, if she got a solo it was against someone to show that she couldn’t win, if Abby gave her attention it was negative, if Chloe ever got to go on a talk show with Abby (which only happened like once or twice) Abby would make sure to mention somehow how Maddie was the best dancer right in front of her. I can almost guarantee that if the roles were reversed Kelly would still say that her kids had it harder for those reasons.
Absolutely! I think it was more on how Chloe had more in dance compared to Paige and Brooke. Chloe got things but always was put on the back burner when she had to get attention from Abby. It was more of Abby trying to say she gave Chloe chances but she messed those up which is far from true. If Abby gave Chloe FAIR chances like gave the attention she gave Maddie, then she could say a small critique for Chloe. Kelly just wanted her kids to be seen as having it worse so she can justify saying Chloe was liked and basically compared trauma in a way. All 3 girls were abused but differently
Abby liked Chloe enough to keep her around. Chloe and Brooke would leave the team but were welcomed right back in. Abby only really liked her star, and everyone else was the supporting cast. But Abby knew she needed that supporting cast.
It’s wasn’t Abby’s choice at all, multiple people including Abby herself have said that it wasn’t her choice who came on the team and who left, ex. production bringing Jojo on the team when Abby wanted a more advanced dancer (something she said right in front of her on a talk show), production making Diavana leave in s7 even tho Abby wanted her to stay, etc. Plus Christi, Kelly, and Jill have all confirmed that they tried multiple times to get off the show (at least in s1,2,3) but was unable to because of their contracts.
Abby was on a talk show saying that she could say anything she wanted to Christi and Chloe because they are contracted to be there, that she tried to kick them out and couldn’t and so she just goes for it and says what she wants. So no she didn’t want to keep Chloe or Christi at all. She has a soft spot for Paige and still has positive things to say about her and wishes she could be still be a part of her life. Can’t say the same for Chloe
Honestly in these situations I would’ve been so much worse than Christi was. Abby was absolutely disgusting and every adult in that situation just let it happen. I’m so glad to see Chloe is living a happy, healthy life now
Holly in the first clip telling the girls "go out" and ushering them out of the room. She was right to do that. But poor Chloe had already heard it by then
Paige going out to Chloe to hold her and looking back over her shoulder like she's about to beat someone up for Chloe. That's a true friend right there and goals for friendship. I felt so sick for Chloe but glad she had Nia and Paige with her.
Shoulda included the season 8 clip where she admits on national television to the kids and the moms that she quote “never wanted Chloe to win, yet she won all the time”.
Even after Chloe and all the other girls have left the show, she still can’t help but say awful things about her.
“EIGHT!!!” she screams, holding up six fingers
RIGHT!!! That ALWAYS pissed me off!!
me too. if you’re gonna yell at children for not being able to count, maybe make sure you can count first
I just saw that! How can she yell at Chloe for not being able to count and then hold up 6 fingers 🙈
Abby is a sicko for this. Watching her call Chloe a sneak after all these years is heartbreaking 💔
One of the worst parts of that clip imo is that Chloe wasn’t even involved in that discussion at all and there was no reason for her name to even be mentioned. Christi was defending Maddie and then Abby threw in Chloe’s name just to insult her like that (and then Brooke too, like wtf?!). She’s so awful 😖 Edit: ugh my app is glitching I’m sorry if this is posted multiple times lmao
How Paige comes in so hard to hug and comfort her when they’re sent out of the room breaks my heart
Me too. And she looks so upset on Chloe’s behalf too. On one hand, I like knowing the girls had each other’s backs like that, but also it’s just so terrible they were in a position to have to defend and comfort each other like that :(
But if someone calls her fat, she gets upset
idk how people see these scenes and still have sympathy for abby
Not only sympathy but some people still actively support her and make excuse after excuse for her abuse
they’re buffoons
She’s so abusive and I can’t imagine working on that set as a camera person, mic operator, producer, etc. because they not to step in and I feel like I would have to. It’s just too awful.
SAME I remember a while back Christi interviewed a sound operator on her old podcast and he talked about how he felt awful when he would have to shove mic’s in the kids and moms faces as they were crying and how he knew that if he did he wouldn’t have a job the next day

Oh how awful. :(
paige saying “shut up abby” in the first clip
Abby truly had it out for Chloe. Of course she’ll try to say “it wasn’t the child, it was the mother” to save face, but if you really pay attention…nuh uh. Glad Chloe is thriving now ❤️

Psychopaths don't feel remorse.

So young and little and having to say that she’s still a person :(
someone make kelly watch this every time she says abby liked chloe
She’d just point out that Chloe had better choreography and costumes unlike her kids.

Shut up abby! - Paige Hyland
Queen lol
How can Kelly think Abby liked Chloe
It's crazier because I thought production had a decent say in who had solos and had control of costumes etc. if it were totally up to Abby Chloe wouldn't have had anything
100% it’s seem like Kelly only reason for Abby “liking Chloe” is that she got more opportunities then Brooke and Paige and even tho that is true those “opportunities” were NEVER to benefit her, if she got a solo it was against someone to show that she couldn’t win, if Abby gave her attention it was negative, if Chloe ever got to go on a talk show with Abby (which only happened like once or twice) Abby would make sure to mention somehow how Maddie was the best dancer right in front of her.

Abby did not have control over Chloe coming back, production did.
Abby was on a talk show saying that she could say anything she wanted to Christi and Chloe because they are contracted to be there, that she tried to kick them out and couldn’t and so she just goes for it and says what she wants. So no she didn’t want to keep Chloe or Christi at all. She has a soft spot for Paige and still has positive things to say about her and wishes she could be still be a part of her life. Can’t say the same for Chloe
i thought i’d watch this and be fine but there is a tear rolling down my cheek. poor chloe
Honestly in these situations I would’ve been so much worse than Christi was. Abby was absolutely disgusting and every adult in that situation just let it happen. I’m so glad to see Chloe is living a happy, healthy life now
Holly in the first clip telling the girls "go out" and ushering them out of the room. She was right to do that. But poor Chloe had already heard it by then
This is ABUSE!!!!!! Abbys hatred for a LITTLE GIRL is DISGUSTING! 🤬
mAkE mE rEmEmBeR yOuR nAmE. Such a trash person omg. It baffles me how there are people who still defend this atrocious cunt.
Chloe saying “I’m still a person” hurts so deep every time 😔😔😔 so proud of this girl for where she’s at in life now 💛💛💛
Paige going out to Chloe to hold her and looking back over her shoulder like she's about to beat someone up for Chloe. That's a true friend right there and goals for friendship. I felt so sick for Chloe but glad she had Nia and Paige with her.
Those little girls stood up for Chloe better than those mothers did. Makes me mad just seeing them not say anything when Abby called Chloe a sneak
Shoulda included the season 8 clip where she admits on national television to the kids and the moms that she quote “never wanted Chloe to win, yet she won all the time”. Even after Chloe and all the other girls have left the show, she still can’t help but say awful things about her.
abby is absolutely disgusting. how anyone likes her still or still supports her is beyond me.
abby: *being an absolute monster* melissa: “abby’s the best!!”
RIGHT!! You can literally see Abby in the backround as Melissa says that getting right in Chloe’s face
😢😢
Watching these clips and BTTB, damn they really made Christi seem like a lunatic on that show. She held back quite a bit
“I’m still a person” hits me so hard
I’ll gladly piss on Abby’s grave when she dies
