Wanna know my TRUTH?
As a result, Smith said she pulled her daughter out of the show due to Miller’s behavior.

“To Kamryn, Adriana, and anyone else I’ve hurt, I am truly sorry.
I realize that racism can come not just from hate, but also from ignorance.
No matter the cause, it is harmful, and it is my fault.
While I hope to one day earn your forgiveness, I recognize that words alone are not enough.
I understand it takes time and genuine change.”
At this point, this is bigger than me and Kamryn.
AnotherDance Momsparent, Camille Bridges, has also called out Miller,telling E!
Newsthat she felt her daughter Camryn was likewise mistreated due to her race.
“[Abby] tried to spin Camryn as being the poor one and there on scholarship.
I shut that down immediately,” Bridges claimed.
“She loves appropriating our culture and never appreciating it.
She did not give black choreographers on the show acknowledgment of their work.
She continuously put Camryn in afros…
It was a traumatic experience that I wish on no one.”
