I don’t meant to say that I have been looking forward to Abby’s sentencing tomorrow; however, I was ready to get it over with. Sentencing has been pushed so many times for this case and I can’t imagine how Abby survives it. Yesterday, Deadline exclusively reported that tomorrow’s sentencing has been cancelled. It has not been rescheduled yet.
What is interesting is that it was the government that asked for the postponement with less than 48 hours to go. Wonder why they did that? Surely they don’t have new information at this point. Did Abby’s lawyers get some sort of ruling in a separate court to admit the ruling from the United States v. Free? II have not read the ruling on that case. I got busy with other things and it is kind of hard to locate.
Basically, that case is going to set a precedent on zero loss bankruptcies that could greatly reduce her sentence and keep her out of prison. A zero loss bankruptcy is one where none of her debts are discharged and she just works out and extension on repaying her debt. The basis of the Free case is that because no one was harmed by the hidden assets in her bankruptcy, prison time is not appropriate. The Feds have been fighting for her to do prison time.
So once again, it’s wait and see for Abby Lee… I’ll let you know if I hear anything.
Wow, another postponement. More stress for the girls, school, and Abby. Wonder if Abby will ever pay her debts.
Weird. Is it possible to make a deal at this late date? Forgive me if that’s a dumb quessie. You see…I’ve never been arrested.
Bwahahaha. You saw that coming, didnja?
Harmony, she HAS paid her debts. She was never in arrears, she simply worked out a different payment plan. Her debts are all paid off, that is part of her case for no prison time.
They can work plea deal at any time. But I would think the defense would have been the ones to ask for the postponement if that was what was going on.
I find this last minute postponement by the government very odd…but maybe it isn’t. I’ve never been sentenced for anything either, but I’ve reported on a lot of cases and this is a new one by me. I was hoping the author of the Deadline article would speculate on the possibilities but they didn’t.
She should have told Todd to stay of the lean.
I’m sorry I loath this woman! She is a hack! Instead of focussing on the children she has she seeks out children that others have out the effort and time into! She is a scab!
I feel for the girls she does have left, whose backs and feet she got famous with!
Kendal is the sweetest child I have seen, considering the monstrosity of a mother she has, who allows her daughter to be verbally and psychologically and systematically abused by this woman!
Her mother has no excuse for allowing that to continue!
Nia? Mia? Is so sweet to live with that pain condition she has, and do what she does is a mirrical itself! Her mother holly who is an educator? I hold mor responsible than Jill! She knows what this will and is doing to her child no excuse!
I think personally that the feds are trying to put her away simply because they know the vileness that she is !!
I hope she does go to a real prison where she is tormented like she does those girls!! Imo
I don’t wish ill on anyone, well almost no one, but I agree with you 100%, Northern Chill. The way
Abby gutted those little girls, with no thought whatsoever as to how it would make them feel, was downright cruel. I know she believes she’s trying to make them hardened because the real world doesn’t pamper people, but her methods seemed psychologically damaging. And, yes, I blame the mothers too. Some of them spoke up for their daughters and were recipients of Abby’s wrath, but many just let their aspirations for their children overrule what they saw happening before their very eyes. That’s my opinion of her professionally. As to her legal woes, I don’t know the details at all, so I’ll rely on the justice system to punish her fittingly.
I’ve come to think much of the conflict we see on this show is manufactured. Certainly the petty spats between the mothers are planned and acted out. The newest mother, with the stupid hairstyle and bow in her hair, is only there to add conflict. Her daughter gets a token solo here and there, but she is regularly left out of the group and duo dances. Why are they there, other than to add drama? I used to get really ticked off at how Abby treated the girls, but most of them are now old enough to walk away (every contract has a loop hole) and they haven’t. They’re all getting exposure and back door entrances into the world of Hollywood. Consequently, I watch the program for the entertainment their dance routines provide, and nothing else.
As for Abby concealing assets, the Federal government always wants their share, and they eventually end up getting it. She hasn’t received a plea bargain she can accept, so it’s up to the judge. For me, that’s the real drama. We shall soon learn the result of that.
I believe she was given the opportunity to refile her taxes and did so and paid them. To me her biggest crime was distributing the $120,000 in 10K increments into the luggage of the moms AND THE GIRLS. That was after she was already in trouble and she knew it was illegal to do what she was doing. That entire $120,000 though will be confiscated by the FEDs. So again zero net loss.
I was wondering why Maisi and her mom were even at nationals since she didn’t get to participate in anything. HOWEVER, someone sent me an email a while back saying that they were still filming and Maesi was in the shoots they saw, so apparently, she will be on the team in the next episodes we see.
With some teams, sports etc, player’s participants ALL need to attend weather they are in the shows or not. Or playing in the “game”, as a show of solidarity and team spirit. I have stopped watching after she tried to dress some poor child litterly in TRASH WTF.??? EYE ROLL.
Also if she is willing to put those girls in danger of being, arrested or caught up in this mess what has she done with them we don’t know?
She is evil incarnate. Truly.
I do know too that alot of it is scripted. BUT I also stopped watching it when they began to drag the girls, even the “mini’s”, into the fake drama. Who does that? Little children that young have a hard time differentiating between fake and real, even if they are told…. ALL these children will need therapy when she is done with them.
It makes one wonder, WHAT was her mother like?? . RIP not to speak ill of the dead. But either she was horribly teased by other children, or had a mommy dearest.
TT in regards to the email you received, the girls went back to filming about two weeks ago, it’s all over their IGs. If you’ve already answered this I apologise, but was it mentioned to you if Abby was filming with them too? I’ve seen Gianna in some of the pics but no Abby. I was surprised to see them openly posting about it-some with #7b tags and such. I thought everything was limbo still.
I dunno. I thought 7b was the season that just aired, so I didn’t pay it too much attention. I had a lot going on when I got the email and meant to look into it further and never had time.
Oh and I forgot to mention, Maddie confirmed that all the fights between the moms was contrived. But they sure take it to an ugly level. I think the Abbie stuff is mostly really Abby.
Orrrr, I was thinking when she said that, “she’s just saying that, so her momager doesn’t get a bad rap.” ???
I didn’t know about the moms helping hide the money in the luggage. Is that not a crime to assist her in hiding this money?
I think the larger concern was involving minors in illegal activity.
I never had the privilege of having a coach, but, I thought coaches were tough, and supposed to push you, and then as an adult you thank them.
(Then need therapy)
I like Abby. It is the moms I can’t stand. I like to watch Abby correct the girls. She gets tense when the girls are told over and over about the same correction. I don’t care if the mamma drama is fake, it is still disgusting. I get tired of hearing Abby is famous on the girls back and feet. These girls are lucky to be on the show. Most of the dancers are replaceable with the exception of Maddie. She has a star quality the others simply do not have. I miss Maddie and Mackenzie. I don’t miss other dancers who come and go or have been on the show a long time.
I don’t think Abby should do jail time. She has paid her debt. Leave it be, enough is enough.
I’m sorry but I don’t think Nia has the correct body for a dancer. Child singer yes, let’s see what happens when she gets older. Her body is too thick and slow to dance. She has canckles like her mother. Also from the knee down there is no definition. She has other talents, but not a body for a dancer.
Eye rolll inserted here becuase an adult just commented on a child’s physical attributes to define something in life… please stop.
