In a recent statement, Abby Lee Miller commented on fellow dancer Kelly Highland’s ongoing battle with breast cancer, highlighting their complicated history from “Dance Moms.” Despite past tensions, Miller noted that Highland currently does not require her support during this challenging time.

Kelly Highland’s Cancer Treatment

Since her diagnosis in 2023, Highland has faced significant challenges, including a difficult second round of treatment. According to a dance instructor familiar with the situation, Highland has been unable to ring the hospital bell typically symbolizing the end of treatment rounds.

Reflections on Their Past

Abby Lee Miller, who herself triumphed over cancer in 2019, reflected on their relationship, stating that Kelly appears to be surrounded by a strong support system, including her three children and her ex-husband. Miller conveyed that Highland’s family is thriving, and she does not intend to re-establish contact with them.

Furthermore, Miller mentioned that when she faced her own battle, Kelly and her family did not reach out for support. Despite this, she expressed goodwill towards Highland, wishing her well through her recovery process.

The Fallout from Dance Moms

The two dancers’ relationship has been riddled with legal troubles since Highland and her daughters left “Dance Moms” in 2014 following a publicized physical altercation with Miller. This conflict led to two lawsuits against Miller, with one case ultimately resulting in a settlement where $17,500 was agreed upon for damages.
