How on earth can it not be doable? You speak up. You say "Abby, stop being so mean!" at the very least. I cannot imagine not saying something or dd not saying something.
it depends on how someone is raising their child-in some homes you don't say something like that to an adult, let alone a teacher EVER. in maddie/Mackenzie's case I've wondered if mom doesn't put on a very good front for the cameras. they only showed it in one episode-but that woman has a temper with her kids and rips them a new one if they don't do what she/abby tells them to do-it was an instance where Mackenzie (along with some other younger dancers) were told to do a quick improvisation to some music. Mackenzie balked and resisted, and mom just ripped into and made some really nasty and cutting remarks to her about her lack of ability and how "miss abby said to do it SO DO IT"-the poor kid was in full emotional meltdown. mom quickly composed herself and (if I remember right) walked off camera
Contracts can be broken. No one has to take abuse for the sake of a contract. No one. Contracts are broken all the time.
yes they are, but depending on how litigious the person you are contracted with is-they may make it so other dance/voice/acting groups will not enroll you until the litigation has been settled-no one wants to have a production/competition shut down by a court order
These girls need to learn to find their own voices and speak up for the way they have been treated. Maddie is nothing more than a jump start for Abby's own studio's reputation.
I agree-and I think it's interesting that abby mentioned on the reunion that maddie wasn't always the favorite-chloe originally was. I have to wonder if b/c Chloe's mom is much more likely to call abby on her treatment of her child/the other children-maddie made a better choice (more cooperative mom/has helped abby financially in the past) to push her agenda
I just don't think that Melissa is that stupid to think she has to stand back and watch other children be abused for the sake of her child's fame nor do I think that Melissa thinks it is only because they are jealous of Maddie.
I dunno, but it's the running complaint by the other moms in every episode-she says she's going to say something about it, but then complains to the camera when she's alone that it's all b/c the other moms are jealous-then never says anything to abby
I see what you are saying, I just fail to believe that anyone is really that naive and that dumb.
I don't see it as naïve or dumb-but misguided and opportunistic.
One thing that can be said about Kelly is that she is allowing Paige to use her own voice and speak up for herself. That is a good thing for Paige. I hope that Christy does the same for Chloe.
