Abby Lee Miller News: Dance Instructor Returns To 'Dance Moms' And Slams Fellow Choreographer Laurieann Gibson
Abby Lee Miller will be returning to "Dance Moms" and the moms are not too happy about the prospect. Even worse, the 50-year-old instructor slammed fellow choreographer Laurieann Gibson calling her "desperate for work."
The moms were quick to judge Gibson who was brought in as guest choreographer while Miller was away dealing with her legal troubles. However, after Miller's return, the moms were quick to turn over a new leaf, suddenly becoming Laurieann's biggest fans.
In a teaser released by Lifetime for "Dance Moms" season 7 episode 21, the moms were shown protesting Miller's return. They even went as far as to threaten to leave if she insists on staying.

"You put us all in a situation where we had to find somebody else, and when (Laurieann) came in, she was tons of energy and she was invested and she was here and she was working," said mom Ashlee Allen in the clip. Miller quickly replied saying, "Well, she's desperate for work. I've been working for six years non-stop. How good are you when you don't win?"
Mom Jill Vertes also weighed in saying that the girls love Laurieann Gibson. She even revealed to Miller that they didn't want her coming back.
This shouldn't come as surprise though after Cheryl Burke, who will be Miller's replacement in the second half of Season 7B, revealed that the moms aren't exactly sad at the coach's prison stint. Burke said she believes Miller's recent brush with the law has traumatized the girls saying that all she wants to make them feel confident about themselves.
Miller was sentenced back in May, almost a year and a half after she was first indicted. She has yet to serve her 366-day jail sentence for 20 counts of bankruptcy fraud.
"Dance Moms" season 7 airs at 9 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
