"Dance Moms" season 6B has just premiered, but rumors about another cast member not returning for "Dance Moms" season 7 are starting the spread. Long-time veteran JoJo Siwa is rumored to be departing the show and may not be back, following the departure of Maddie Ziegler and Chloe Lukasiak.
The IBTimes have pointed out that a new photo of the Sheer Talent competition, held in Las Vegas, was recently released, and Siwa is notably absent. A photo of the mothers was also released, and Siwa's mother was also absent, sparking rumors that they will not be a part of season 7.
Siwa herself began reigniting the speculations when she posted an update on Instagram with the caption "Can't wait for you guys to see what's coming up for me."
It is further pointed out that Siwa has not been able to compete with the rest of the dance group since late May, further indicating she is leaving the show and may be doing something new. It is pointed out she has claimed season 6 as her favorite season, but it may also be her last.
Siwa also posted a video on Youtube revealing she and her mother would be staying in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future. "Dance Moms" is primarily filmed in Los Angeles, although she may be staying for a different project entirely and not for the show's seventh season.
A previous report also pointed out that Siwa may not even have a show to return to as there are multiple speculations that the show won't be renewed for a seventh season due to legal concerns, decreased viewer ratings, and the departure of key dancers like Maddie Ziegler.
Coach Abby Lee Miller, Siwa, or Siwa's mother have not yet responded to the rumors of the show's cancellation, Siwa's involvement, or if she will be venturing off for a new project.
