"Dance Moms" season 7 will have a noticeable void due to the departure of Maddie Ziegler, the show's star dancer. According to a report from OK! Magazine (via Celeb Dirty Laundry), host and coach Abby Lee Miller is desperately trying to find a replacement but nothing has been going according to plan.
According to the report, Miller went to her studio to overlook auditions and was disappointed to find only 11 people present. To make matters worse, she was already 3 hours late and after spending time berating her staff she reportedly stormed out of the studios to get her hair and make-up done instead.
While Miller was at the salon she made an even bigger problem for herself that the children auditioning should spend even more money and buy outfits that come from her signature line. However, Miller had cheated and tried to raise the price of the outfits three times the normal rate.
The report further pointed out that Miller's actions may lead to the cancellation of the show and the closure of her dance group. The coach is currently facing charges and a possibility of being imprisoned for five years due to 20 counts of fraud coming from the fact she allegedly hid over $755,000 of profits and kept the money in secret bank accounts.
She is also facing issues due to her behavior. The show already saw the departure of Chloe Lukasiak due to Miller's derogatory comments regarding her eye, which later revealed to be a medical condition that Lukasiak had to get surgery for, and later she lost Ziegler due to ongoing feuds regarding Ziegler's career choices.
Maddie Ziegler, despite leaving the show, is enjoying success as a judge in "So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation."
No release date for "Dance Moms" season 7 has yet been announced although it is expected to premiere by early 2017.
