Before she was Sia's alter-ego, she was one of the most prominent child dancers on "Dance Moms." However, Maddie Ziegler recently revealed that her experience on the show took a toll on her

The 14-year-old, who recently released a book titled "The Maddie Diaries," said in a People interview, "I was stressed at 11 years old, which shouldn't happen!"

However, the teenager also said that she learned a lot from the experience, crediting her mentor on the show, Abby Lee Miller, for teaching her while she was there. She said, "I'm really glad that I did move on from that, and I did learn a lot from her and we did have some fun times."

Miller might possibly be faced with jail time because of fraud. She was charged in October 2015 for allegedly attempting to hide the income she made from the show and its spin-off, which titled "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition." She previously filed for bankruptcy. The courts said that she hid her income to avoid paying the debts she accumulated when she filed for bankruptcy.

Miller's trial date was originally scheduled on Feb. 24. However, this was moved upon the request of the government. She made a request, which was granted, to change the date because she needed to fly to Cancun, Mexico for "business opportunities." She has already previously agreed to forfeit $120,000.00. What is left to be decided on is if she will be imprisoned or be put on probation. Her sentencing date has since been moved to May 9.

According to a Deadline report, the buzz is that some footage for season 7b has already been filmed as insurance in case Miller gets sentenced to spend some time in jail. Replacing her as choreographers are Meagan Nugent and Laurie Ann Gibson. Lifetime has yet to announce if it will renew the show for an eighth season.
