Adults on Set Were Brats, But the Kids Are the Only Ones Who Get Demonized
I wish people gave the Dance Moms girls more grace when they call them “brats.” Maddie, Mackenzie, Brynn, Nia, Paige, Brooke, Chloe, Asia, Kendall, Peyton, and all the girls were kids roughly 6–13 years old under an insane amount of pressure.
People will call Brynn, Kendall, Peyton, or Maddie a brat, and I’m like… let them be brats. They were children.
The moms had big, bratty reactions. Abby had plenty of bratty moments that’s basically her whole personality that fans love to praise and call “iconic.”
And the producers were bratty too, constantly pushing boundaries and creating drama even when the moms said no.
The Bryan Stinson Paige, Maddie & Nia reunion birthday-party situation is a perfect example of him actively stirring things up and acting like a bratty male because he didn’t get he’s way which was access to the Zieglers, lol.
Everyone on that set was allowed to be dramatic and messy, but the kids are the ones who get their entire personalities judged for having normal kid reactions.
They weren’t perfect. They were kids. Wish people can give them the same grace and “ understanding “everyone gives the adults.
