Although the moms frequently had good reason to be angry with Miller, they frequently resorted to mocking her weight — something that former dancer Brooke Hyland addressed on her YouTube channel. "Commenting on someone's body weight is not really acceptable," she said in response to a scene when her mom Kelly Hyland screamed, "Stop eating! That's why you're fat!"
In a separate YouTube video, Christi Lukasiak said down with Brooke and explained that her one "Dance Moms" regret is calling Miller fat. "Fat shaming is not a cool thing," she said.
Miller is also guilty of insulting dancers' physical appearances. She told one competitor on "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" who later appeared on "Dance Moms" that she looked like "roadkill" and told Ava Cota that her arms were "horrendous" and compared to a praying mantis, (via Woman's Day). After being defeated by Candy Apples, Miller told one mother "fix your daughter's ears" while the dancer was within earshot, (via YouTube).
During Lukasiak's and Miller's final blowout at nationals in Season 4, the show aired footage of Miller shouting, "Your kid's washed up!"
Lukasiak confirmed, (via International Business Times), "Actually, Abby actually made fun [of] Chloe's face caused by a medical condition there." A mom from a rival studio corroborated Lukasiak's account. "It was mocking her eye and telling her to get it fixed! It was really sad!" Jo Anne Morales said. "We were all so upset for Chloe and her mom!"
