We have good reasons for recommending that child actors, dancers, and models not participate in reality television programming that will exploit them. While several of our members have successfully competed in the past on shows like America’s Got Talent, Star Search and The X Factor, non-singing shows tend to be scripted, manipulative and generally not good for one’s career or self-esteem.
If you are familiar with Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms, you knew right away when you saw the subject of this post who we are talking about. Deadline Hollywood reports that she faces 5 years in prison and a $5 million fine on 20 counts of fraud relating to tax and bankruptcy fraud.
Discuss this with us here. Abby Lee Miller is no stranger to lawsuits. Read our lively discussion from 2014 on her previous lawsuit involving a mother who appeared on her show.
