Abby Lee Miller ‘Jealous’ Of Maddie Ziegler’s Fame? ‘Dance Moms’ Summary Teases Season 6 Drama

Is Maddie Ziegler getting too famous for Abby Lee Miller’s liking? After years of prepping her student for super stardom, the synopsis for Tuesday’s “Dance Moms” Season 6 installment teases the 13 year old's recent rise to fame may be getting under her coach’s skin.

After making a last-minute appearance on Lifetime's Feb. 16 installment, Maddie will make her official return to ALDC LA (Abby Lee Dance Company Los Angeles) in episode 8. While viewers will may be overjoyed about her return — she has been MIA this season shooting “The Book of Henry” film — the synopsis for “Maddie Is Back” reveals Abby “does not seem happy to see her.”

“The mothers wonder if Abby is jealous of Maddie’s fame,” the summary reads. In the episode 8 preview, the moms reveal that Abby did not watch Maddie’s latest appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” When they ask if her decision not to tune stems from jealousy, Abby looks shocked.

While the moms may be concerned about Abby’s treatment towards her star pupil, it appears one mom will use it as opportunity to get her daughter ahead. “Ashlee hopes that Abby will spend more time grooming Brynn [Rumfallo] to be the next big star,” the synopsis states. Her behavior comes on the heels of Abby revealing Brynn, 12, has been put on probation as a result of Maddie's comeback.

Elsewhere in the episode, Abby, who has been facing legal troubles this season, will break down. “I sacrificed everything for your kids. I’m sick and tired of fighting,” she says while wiping away her tears in the promo.
