Nia Sioux of Dance Moms fame has told The Independent how the reality show’s network, Lifetime, allegedly chose not to air some of her former dance teacher’s more egregious comments.
Sioux, whose real name is Nia Sioux Frazier, appeared on all seven seasons of the reality series from 2011 to 2017 while she was nine to 15 years old alongside her mother, Holly Frazier. The show followed Sioux and other cast members, sisters Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler, Kendall Vertes, Chloe Lukasiak, JoJo Siwa, sisters Brooke Hyland and Paige Hyland, Brynn Rumfallo and Kalani Hilliker as they learned and performed dance routines within one week with the help of their “tough love” dance teacher, Abby Lee Miller. It also captured the drama surrounding their sometimes overbearing stage mothers.
