Abby Lee Miller and Cathy Nesbitt-Stein have clarified that their well-known rivalry on 'Dance Moms' was largely fabricated for entertainment purposes. In a recent interview, Cathy stated that they were portrayed as rivals, but in reality, they were not. Their upcoming reality series, 'Hit the 8,' aims to present a more positive narrative, focusing on empowering young dancers rather than fostering competition.
