Abby Lee Miller has shared a complicated relationship with the girls she coached on “Dance Moms.”
However, JoJo Siwa has made it clear that she doesn’t share the same beliefs as her castmates.
As a result, she wasn’t too offended by Miller’s mean-spirited words growing up.

“There wasn’t anything besides like, tough love almost, you know what I mean?
Like she wanted us to be the best,” Siwa stated.
Miller also shared that Siwa’s homeschooled roots had caused her to grow up without learning some basic etiquette.

That’s the kind of stuff I had to crack down on her, and she learned."
And the reality TV star admitted that Siwa tried her best to rectify her mistakes.
Despite all of Miller’s grapples with Siwa, she believed she was a phenomenal solo dancer.

Even Miller toldEntertainment Tonightin 2021 that she couldn’t be happier about all of her former student’s success.
Miller was similarly in awe ofSiwa after she identified her sexualityin a 2021 Instagram video.
Meanwhile,Siwa once defended Miller against a “Dance Moms” alum.
I actually was a mess and I was a beat off."
