Nia Sioux of Dance Moms has told The Independent why she chose to stay on the reality show for all seven seasons despite her alleged mistreatment.
Sioux, whose real name is Nia Sioux Frazier, starred on the Lifetime show from 2011 to 2017, between the ages of 9 to 15, alongside her mother, Holly Frazier. Throughout the show, she and fellow cast members, Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler, Kendall Vertes, Chloe Lukasiak, JoJo Siwa, Brooke Hyland and Paige Hyland, Brynn Rumfallo and Kalani Hilliker would learn and compete new dance routines choreographed by their “tough love” dance teacher, Abby Lee Miller, while also dealing with the drama that ensued from their overbearing stage mothers.
