Abby Lee Miller wins Biggest Bitch in Channel Guide’s 2012 Viewer’s Voice Awards

Abby Lee MillerHow you feel about Dance Moms diva Abby Lee Miller is likely directly related to how you feel about her frequently strident teaching methods, on full display in the Lifetime reality hit. Miller says that what viewers see on TV is often spillover exasperation from multiple requests made of her dancers off camera, and in an unrelated email to Channel Guide, she told us: “I’m not the bad guy — I’ve been teaching dance for 32 years.  …If Chloe didn’t continually miss class and come late and leave early she would be an amazing dancer, or should I say the dancer I could create.”

Miller is now starring in Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition, Tuesday nights at 9/8CT on Lifetime.
