Abby Lee Miller's Miraculous Survival: Dr. Hooman Melamed Reveals the Medical Crisis That Nearly Took Her Life

Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller delivers shocking exclusive news about a brand-new injury that even her spine surgeon Dr. Hooman Melamed learns about for the first time during this live broadcast. Just days after successfully flying alone and walking down an airplane aisle sideways for the first time since her paralysis—a tremendous milestone in her recovery—Abby broke both her tibia and fibula in a freak pool accident while doing aquatic therapy at a hotel. The injury occurred when her leg twisted underneath her on the fourth step without even falling, requiring emergency surgery at Tampa General Hospital's level one trauma center. Dr. Melamed expresses complete shock at not being informed, explaining the unique challenges of operating on Abby's bones, which have become porous and brittle from chemotherapy damage, previously requiring cement reinforcement and large pelvic screws that are still causing her significant pain six months later.The conversation reveals the harrowing 2018 medical crisis that left Abby paralyzed from the neck down within 24 hours, requiring Dr. Melamed to perform emergency surgery at 11 PM that lasted until 5 AM. After being released from prison and visiting seven different doctors over seven consecutive days—all of whom dismissed her symptoms—Abby's condition deteriorated so rapidly that her blood pressure plummeted to near-fatal levels. Unable to lie flat for an MRI due to excruciating pain, doctors performed an emergency CT myelogram while she sat in an awkward position, screaming, which revealed her entire spinal canal was completely blocked across 12 segments by what everyone initially thought was an infection. Upon opening her spine, Dr. Melamed discovered Burkitt lymphoma—an extremely rare and aggressive cancer typically found only in young African boys, usually fatal within eight weeks, and so unusual in Abby's case that it warranted publication as a medical case report. The cancer had wrapped around her spinal cord like a chokehold, and Abby believes it was triggered when a prison doctor abruptly took her off all diabetes and thyroid medications cold turkey two months before her collapse.

HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING!?!?!" might be an iconic TikTok sound now, but a decade ago it was just another Tuesday for Abby. Speaking of iconic tho, we have both our bitches under the same roof today! Our sound unfortunately got a little too noisy in the process and we're sorry about that, but hopefully a Producer's Notes heavy episode filled with never before seen fights and even some espionage will more than make up for it! It's the last stop before the ALDC arrives in LA, how much drama can we fit in there!?This week's group dance is based off of the Disney movie Frozen, and it's never been clearer than ever that Dance Moms has become an institution because what competition would ever allow you to bring your own fake snow? That's what money and fame gets you! What it doesn't get you is any sense of ease as Jess and JoJo are finding out quickly as Abby quickly turns on them. It was one thing when JoJo was just getting sassy with Abby, but adjusting to the abnormal ALDC scheduling doesn't give JoJo enough time to learn her new dance and Abby seems prepped to force the newcomer out.Jill and Holly's fears their daughters won't receive the same red carpet treatment as the Zieglers are all but confirmed when Abby announces Maddie has picked up a gig on the Disney Channel show Austin & Ally. Abby protests that the producers asked for Maddie specifically, but realistically they wouldn't have done that had Abby not spent the past few years elevating Maddies above all else.But Abby has bigger things to worry about when it comes to Maddie after this week's competition bumps Maddie into the Teen Division, which moves up the group dance into the Teen category as well. Will the ALDC be able to compete and pull of a victory before the LA move against stiffer competition?Quotes“This is literally Ed Gein teaches dance at the ALDC. There's gotta be 100 skulls on that necklace. Again, Ed Gein in the nipple belt = Abby Lee Miller in the skull necklace." (16:41-16:51 | Christi & Kelly)“That's kind of shady and I'm kind of here for it" (17:40-17:43 | Christi)“Now Melissa is calling out a kid? This is such chaos. They need us to be the moral compass in this room Kelly!" (40:49-31:31 | Christi)“Girl, that's a felony and a contradiction."

For these next four sentences I'm 100% on Abby's side, with my pom poms, and I'm cheering ABBY ABBY!" says Christi, in what may be the first sign that hell truly has frozen over.As "Bye Bye Pittsburgh" gets underway, stress levels are high as there's only one week left until the ALDC moves to Los Angeles. The OG moms continue to believe that Abby doesn't have every girl's best interest at heart unless their name is Maddie. It's clear from the editing that Holly doesn't know it yet, but she's being set-up to take Christi's place as the heel in Abby's plans and it's already feeding into Nia's treatment overall.Meanwhile the newest moms are battling it out to see who will get to stick around. Jess and Jojo are only scheduled to stay two weeks, indicating that at least at this moment it's likely they hadn't been locked in yet to become regulars. Jess goes on the offensive, theatrically making scenes attacking the other moms in the hopes it makes for good TV. Her only problem is JoJo isn't quite fitting into the team dynamic just yet, running behind during the group dance and annoying Abby with her quips. Consequently JoJo is booted from the group routine, but will Jess let that stop her from stirring the pot further?Quotes“I have a big slap. Do you though? I thought your slap was pretty minimal with a big impact. Oh be nice!" (12:58-13:05 | Christi)“By the way [Abby] did not like us. I think everybody knows that."

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa just dropped a bombshell announcement thats got her fanbase buzzing like never before. On December 10, according to Diva Magazine and PinkNews, the Dance Moms alum revealed on TikTok her biggest fan venture yet: The JoJo Siwa Cruise, a three-day extravaganza aboard Royal Caribbeans Utopia of the Seas, setting sail from Port Canaveral Florida on June 12 2026. Picture this: live Infinity Heart concerts at sea, meet-and-greets, QandAs, build-a-bow workshops, dance classes led by JoJo herself, trivia games, and nonstop parties, all for the ultimate Siwanator adventure. Prices start at about 1050 dollars per person, with suites already sold out, as Attitude reports, though some TikTok skeptics are joking its an SNL sketch or dubbing it Siwa at Sea-wa.This high-seas empire-builder marks a savvy business pivot with long-term branding punch, partnering directly with Royal Caribbean for exclusive access via JoJoSiwaCruise.com, per License Global. Fans can snag swag like lanyards and hoodies too. Amid the hype, AOL notes Siwa clapped back at LGBT critics accusing her of ditching the queer community or going tradwife since her red-carpet romance with Love Island star Chris Hughes, confirmed earlier this year via IMDb and Hollywood Gossip after their Celebrity Big Brother stint.On the TV front, CT Insider says she popped up on the December 11 Hell's Kitchen episode for a charity night at Foxwoods, charming contestants during the season 24 showdown. Social media lit up with cruise reactions, from ecstatic bookings to cheeky Chris Hughes aboard quips, while AOL also caught her shutting down rumors about a limited Dance Moms reunion sans Abby Lee Miller. No fresh public appearances or tracks dropped in the last 48 hours, but this cruise cements Siwas evolution from bow-wearing kid star to full-on experiential mogul.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has turned the past week into a biographical highlight reel worthy of any modern pop culture icon. Right as September wraps up, she launched her much-anticipated new single Infinity Heart, the title track for her upcoming Infinity Heart Tour which opens in Dublin on September 29 and rolls through Europe with sold-out shows. Attitude Magazine spotlighted the release and the meaning behind it, with JoJo sharing on Instagram how the motif, rooted in her work for childhood cancer, is a symbol for her new chapter. She called the song a return to the creative, candid mentality of her youth, stating Infinity Heart is about enduring and growing through every twist of life.The streaming numbers on Infinity Heart are already strong, surfing atop her recent hits Bette Davis Eyes—which drew both chart love and critique from the original artist Kim Carnes via a TMZ interview for its striking similarity—and Raspy, which went viral across TikTok and Instagram. Social media buzz continued as fans speculated about JoJo's romance with Love Island's Chris Hughes, sparked by her open public displays of affection and a burst of wedding rumors that TMZ and CNN have covered, hinting a winter wedding could be in the cards though there's no formal confirmation.JoJo also surprised fans this week by crashing the Dancing With the Stars ballroom floor for a spontaneous moonwalk with Sasha Farber during a commercial break, a moment reported by Parade and AOL that lit up entertainment feeds and reminded everyone of her history-making partnership with Jenna Johnson in 2021. She called the show “home” in a quick interview, with fan comments lighting up Whiting's Instagram reel praising her energy and connection to dance.Biographically, JoJo continues to explore and redefine herself publicly. During a live Big Brother UK stream this week, as reported by AOL, she discussed shifting her sexual identity label from lesbian to queer, emphasizing how the show inspired her to reconsider and become more comfortable with uncertainty around gender identity. Viewers saw her emotional honesty, admitting she now feels most aligned with nonbinary people but isn't ready for public declarations—an evolution noticed by both fans and LGBTQ+ outlets online. She maintains a high-profile relationship with Chris Hughes, and several outlets including CNN have noted things are "going great" between them.JoJo's business activities are going at full throttle. Alongside a blitz of endorsements and media partnerships, she participated in a sweet on-air reunion with Abby Lee Miller on Access Daily last week at Universal's Epic Universe in Orlando. They shared mutual respect and nostalgia for Dance Moms days—a touchstone moment for legacy fans and a trending topic on TikTok and Threads.Online, JoJo keeps fueling conversation. Her Instagram and Threads are brimming with Infinity Heart promotions, personal reflections, and high engagement. With fans dissecting every lyric and emoji, her follower base seems as strong as ever, hungry for both new music and headline drama. No major controversies have surfaced in the last few days, aside from minor dustups around musical authenticity and continuous speculation about her personal life—none with lasting impact. All signs point to JoJo Siwa riding a wave of sustained cultural influence, cementing her place as an ever-evolving star.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has been everywhere lately, and the past few days have seen her at the epicenter of entertainment, fashion, and viral speculation. Most notably, fans and pundits alike were stunned by her style transformation at Kalani Hilliker's Italian wedding, where JoJo wore a dramatic gold minidress with a cape, swapping her trademark bows and quirky gear for a more mature, disco-inspired look. Social media erupted with praise for this “feminine era,” but critics and old fans debated whether it signaled a deeper change in her identity or public persona. According to coverage from Bored Panda and Parade, Siwa herself posted about her first solo trip to a new country and shared multiple Italy snaps, twirling in dresses and mingling with fellow Dance Moms alums. In one viral TikTok from Kendall Vertes, JoJo spun around in a lilac corset gown and joked about feeling “like Rapunzel,” referencing a recent viral audition tape her mom shared and quickly deleted.This flurry of European glamour led directly into business: JoJo is days away from launching her Infinity Heart tour across Europe, with confirmed shows in Dublin on September 29 and several dates following. Her tour announcement continues a summer packed with new music, including the single “Iced Coffee,” her first release since her EP Guilty Pleasure in July. AOL and JamBase confirm a 22-concert nationwide tour in July and August, with fans clamoring for tickets and major outlets highlighting her “pulling out all the stops” for this blockbuster run.On the personal front, JoJo has openly discussed her relationship with Chris Hughes, the British TV host whom she began dating shortly after their stint on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Speculation is now swirling about marriage, fueled by JoJo's confession on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast: “I want a ring, I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle… I've never cared about another person so much.” Eagle-eyed fans noticed she liked wedding planner posts, and some insiders suspect she and Chris might wed before Christmas in a Gloucestershire church near his home. While fans buzz over this new chapter, a vocal contingent online has critiqued JoJo's evolving style and sexuality, with JoJo herself responding candidly to bullying and identity jabs, according to OutFront Magazine.JoJo recently reflected on her Dance Moms era in a LADYGUNN cover story, crediting her mother's advice for handling haters and recalling how both positive and negative attention helped her build resilience and business acumen. She confirmed her ongoing friendships with some cast members and her cordial relationship with Abby Lee Miller, while addressing estrangement with the Ziegler sisters and maintaining there's “no bad blood” with anyone.Professionally, JoJo has made waves on business podcasts like The Room Where It Happened, sharing detailed lessons on personal branding, the risk of partnerships, and controlling her childhood-built empire. All signs point to JoJo Siwa embracing reinvention, balancing personal happiness, artistic growth, and unstoppable ambition. Major headlines this week? JoJo Siwa's style evolution stuns at Italian wedding, tour launches, marriage buzz escalates, and she takes center stage—both online and off—with no plans of slowing down.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa's last few days have been a dazzling swirl of headlines and heart emojis as she balances her booming career, high-profile romance, and a few eyebrow-raising rumors. First up, the biggest biographical development has to be her whirlwind relationship with British TV host Chris Hughes. The pair met on Celebrity Big Brother UK earlier this year, and what started as on-screen chemistry quickly turned into an international love story once they left the house. JoJo has openly shared that though they are not engaged, wedding plans are already on her mind—she's picked out a baby-blue color scheme and is apparently ready to help Chris with the music playlist, but is less enthused about his love for British boy bands like The 1975. Instead, she jokes she'd rather hear NSYNC or Backstreet Boys. According to interviews in The Guardian and The Sun, the couple is considering a future together that may even include JoJo relocating permanently to the UK. She's also admitted to pestering Hughes about starting a family, openly stating that baby talk is already a recurring theme between them, though she reminds fans that these plans, while earnest, are not happening just yet.Pregnancy rumors went viral when a TikTok video showed Chris rubbing JoJo's belly, but JoJo quickly swatted those down with her trademark humor. In a “two truths and a lie” game posted on TikTok, she made light of the speculation by including “I'm pregnant” among her options, turning gossip into another chance to promote her music and engage fans. JoJo's open discussions about wanting to become a mom someday fueled the internet fire, but for now, she is focusing on her relationship and career, not immediate parenthood.Her busy summer has also included a globe-trotting schedule, recently lighting up social feeds with PDA-filled snapshots of a Royal Caribbean cruise with Chris, her parents, and her brother. If that weren't enough, JoJo delighted long-time fans with a heartfelt reunion with former Dance Moms coach Abby Lee Miller during a live Access Daily broadcast in Orlando, a nostalgic moment that had both stars reminiscing about their first impressions and the early days of JoJo's rise to fame.On the business front, JoJo remains a dominant figure among Gen Z millionaires, leveraging her TikTok and YouTube stardom into a merchandising empire. With her Infinity Heart Tour starting soon and high-profile concerts scheduled in Dublin and beyond, her relentless pace shows no sign of slowing. Social media yet again erupted during Pride Month after Chris posted a cozy photo, and JoJo responded with a message about love and acceptance, reinforcing her role as an LGBTQ+ icon and unbothered headline generator. For JoJo, it's always love, color, and just a hint of mischief—onstage and off.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

"In the words of the infamous Abby Lee Miller, the show must go on!" laments Christi, as it's another week at the Barre without our illustrious Bitch #2.Unfortunately Kelly is back in the hospital this week; we're wishing her a speedy recovery as always. But in the meantime we want to keep the lights on at the Barre so we can continue to help support Kelly as best we can. So while we organize and bring on some additional guests, Intern Matt has continued to sort through all your comments to find the best questions for Christi to answer for an impromptu Q&A. During our last Q&A we managed to get some pretty juicy tea out of Christi, will this batch hold such riches?More importantly, will Matt find a way around his supposed potty mouth? Actually, does Matt really have that much more of a potty mouth than our beloved Bitches!? Some of you seem to think so it seems!

I had to change her name in my phone as "Zabby" because I would go to put something in and undoubtedly she would come up first all the time and I almost... and I probably did, send her some texts that were not for her eyes."

"I can't imagine you're watching Dance Moms every night, you know for fun!" Christi remarks to Ed Phelan, an OG Dance Moms choreographer who returns to the Barre this week after a two year hiatus to check-in on Christi and Kelly as they tackle Season 4's "No More Crybabies". With Nationals quickly approaching Abby begins to shift focus on to who will be getting solos and whose going to be left on the sidelines. She assigns Mackenzie, Select team member Tea, and Sarah H solos to see who will get cut from consideration. Though Abby does Sarah H no favors by giving her a dance centered around the Holocaust of all things! It wasn't about that once the episode aired, but it must have been fun explaining that one to the kids!But Abby is more worried about the fact the ALDC is slated to compete against Ava at this week's competition, which inspires the classic Abby move of, "What if I surprise added Maddie to the line-up?!" which she's certain everyone will like! Shockingly Maddie's inclusion doesn't earn Abby any goodwill, and instead works to only encourage the other moms to turn on Melissa who allowed her other daughter to be upstaged.Quotes“It was the ugliest menagerie of clothing I've ever seen. But I digress, that's every week." (18:21-18:26 | Christi)“It was nice to see her in a shirt that wasn't black with blue writing. It was blue with black writing! I was like oh we're expanding!"

"The good news is I'm a giant twat in this episode. You didn't look very happy."That's right bitches, we're back! Kelly is on her road to recovery (no fun at all if you ask us), and we're back with a full breakdown of "Chloe Gets Revenge". This week Abby is pitting the ALDC's two teams against each other once again, but she's switching up the formula. Chloe is transferred to the Select Team and the OG's gain Jade. But Abby of course has no intention of letting Chloe win and steal the limelight from Maddie, and it starts to become clear to the Select Team for the first time that maybe Abby doesn't have their best interests at heart. This becomes even more apparent int he solo categories where Ava gets saddled with an unruly prop that tanks any possibility of her competing fairly with Maddie. To further boost Maddie's profile, Abby brings on Rachel sage to present Maddie with a new original song written specifically for her... except it wasn't written for her as that's just another classic lie to help juice Abby's ego. But will all this pay off for Abby, or will the Select Team prevail for a third week... and actually should it even matter to Abby as long as she has a winning team?

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth

JoJo Siwa is Rosebud's youngest ever guest - she's only 22 years old. But she's been famous since she was 9, and a megastar since she was 12, when her first single "Boomerang" went viral. The video for that song was viewed over 1 billion times. Now JoJo is all grown up and, fresh from her appearance in Celebrity Big Brother, she has a new record out: "Bulletproof". Gyles is fascinated by child stars: what drives them, and how do they cope? In this conversation - the only podcast interview JoJo is doing in the UK - JoJo talks about her early years, growing up in Nebraska and competing and winning dance competitions under the tutelage of her mom, and Abby-Lee Miller, her dance instructor. She talks about the fire she had to succeed, and about how it felt to become super famous at 12. She talks about discovering her sexuality, and tells Gyles an amazing story about falling in love with her first girlfriend on a cruise ship. And then she talks about now: about her recent experience in Celebrity Big Brother, and how she met and fell in love with the reality star Chris Hughes while she was in the house. JoJo shows Gyles her tattoos. And Gyles and JoJo talk about the origin of the word "serendipity".JoJo's single "Bulletproof" is available to stream now. This interview was recorded at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"What kind of dance teacher goes up to the judges and says disqualify my kid?" It's a good question Kelly! But the answer is pretty simple when Abby Lee Miller is on the case! Turns out building a new team isn't so easy, but as the episodes title (Blame it on the New Girl) implies there is at least an easy scapegoat Abby won't hesitate to pounce on.Joining the ALDC for a one time solo venture is Fallon Chapman and her mom Cheryl whom Abby met at the Florida auditions. But Abby begins to sour on her newest dancer as Fallon struggles to pick up the pace on her solo. Abby starts to openly mock Fallon to Cheryl, but her pettiness is nothing compared to when Fallon manages to forget her choreography entirely at competition. It's certainly a bad look, but in classic Abby fashion she manages to make the situation much worse for wear. But for Abby a lot is at stake since if the ALDC wins this week it'll be their 10th consecutive 1st place win, and since Candy Apples is also in attendance she really can't afford to look bad.Meanwhile the girls take a trip to cheer up Mrs. Miller in the nursing home, though Christi is notably barred from attending.

"I dislike Abby but that is no news for anyone who is watching," remarks Christi as Abby continues to prod in the hopes she will be the next to leave on "Nothing's Fair in Abbyville". But unfortunately for both of them Christi still has a season left in her, so Abby settles on belittling Kendall this week.Mackenzie and the Zieglers are in Los Angeles recording Mackenzie's first single. To fill the Maddie shaped hole int he group dance Abby holds a dance off between the girls that Kendall wins. And despite commenting what a great opportunity this position is for Kendall to prove her worth, Abby has no intention of letting Kendall actually take Maddie's place. In fact she desperately works to get Maddie back in time for competition, claiming she never actually promised Kendall the part... so what was the dance off for?Meanwhile Kira and Kalani continue to settle into the team dynamic. Kira worries that Abby is going to set her daughter up to compete with Maddie, but the moms point out that Kalani is so good that Abby would never dare pit her against Maddie. Any situation where Maddie might lose is strictly off limits. Kalani might be the ALDC's best dancer, but Abby didn't train her so she can't flex her too much.Kelly calls in to organize a lunch with Christi, whom production forces to invite the rest of the moms including Kalani. What will prove to be Kelly's final appearance on-screen is rather quaint as she's still happy to be off the team, despite how much the production wanted the situation to start drama (why else would you invite Kalani). Melissa is visibly uneasy though, wonder why!Quotes“I was gonna say what are you drinking? I'm not drinking anything except for like NyQuil." (09:11-09:15 | Christi)"There's nothing that brings energy and fun to the room quite like Abby Lee Miller, so have at ti." (14:50-14:56 | Christi)“Jill is not only wearing fur, she might be wearing what, in my mind, could be the most iconic piece of fur on Dance Moms. " (17:57-18:06 | Christi)“Mole again, mole gone. Mole here, mole there, mole everywhere. Mole gone" (29:45-29:51 | Christi)LinksSubscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarreThank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!
