Rumors of "Dance Moms" being a fake reality series have started to circulate once again. At the recent Devotion 2 Dance competition, the ALDC reportedly took home almost all of the awards but it was not because they were the best performing team. Turns out, Abby Lee Miller's two teams were the only groups to compete.
According to the International Business Times, the ALDC entered two teams in the competition, which will be aired on season 6. The elite junior team, composed of Kendall Vertes, Mackenzie Ziegler, Nia Frazier, Kalani Hilliker, JoJo Siwa and Brynn Rumfallo, competed in the teen division and performed "Better Off Now." They reportedly placed first overall. Meanwhile, the second team danced to "Caveman Undercover" and placed second overall.
ALDC also entered two solos: Alysa Owen danced "Forever Rising," and Arena Lopez performed "Dance." Owen and Lopez placed second and first place, respectively in the junior division.
This is not the first time that "Dance Moms" has been accused of creating fake competitions. In 2014, it was said that the groups got to perform their routine twice for the cameras, unlike the other contestants.
According to Reality Tea, they have heard multiple sources claiming that ALDC has been attending "rigged competitions" in which dance companies would sign up knowing that Miller's team would win in the end. The other groups were allegedly just after TV exposure.
Chloe Lukasiak's mom, Christi, has since been very vocal about the reality show blatantly lying to the audience. It was said that she has also been fed up with Miller constantly favoring Ziegler over her daughter.
"If Abby & Melissa can lie to make themselves look good, I'm going to start telling what REALLY happens. I'm over being the bad guy," she tweeted.
