On Dance moms she would have to deal with comments not only from fans but also from her dance teacher. Once Maddie's teacher Abby Lee Miller was mad at Maddie's mom and told her that Maddie would be nowhere without her and if it wasn't for her agencies would have hired a dancer with straight teeth.
