Christi Finally CONFRONTS Abby For Telling Chloe To “Be Like Maddie” | Back To The Barre REWIND

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting season 1, episode 9 (“From Ballerinas to Showgirls”), where the ALDC heads to Las Vegas and Christi FINALLY reaches a breaking point with Abby over how she was treating Chloe.After Maddie gets the week off, Chloe is suddenly put at the top of the pyramid and told this is her chance to prove herself. But instead of feeling like a real opportunity, Christi remembers it feeling like a setup. Abby keeps putting pressure on Chloe to win, and Christi explains the off-camera moment that pushed her over the edge: Abby allegedly telling Chloe to “be like Maddie” right before she competed for a national title.Christi and Kelly look back on the infamous hotel room confrontation that followed. As Christi explains, the fight was about much more than one solo in Las Vegas. You're going to want to hear Christi's thoughts on the whole situation. They also revisit the rest of the Vegas chaos: Cathy starting her Candy Apples revenge plan, the girls learning a showgirl-inspired routine, the moms visiting the ice bar on the night Dance Moms premiered, and a competition week that left everyone feeling like the pressure was only getting worse.We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!
