Several online channels have reported that Nia and Holly Frazier had been experiencing problems with Abby Lee Miller regarding the former's music career. Fans of "Dance Moms" have noticed that Nia was not always with the group during public appearances fueling rumors of her departure from the show.
According to Inquistr, Maddie, Mackenzie, Kendall, and Kalani were often seen together while JoJo Siwa and Nia were nowhere to be found. This caused many fans to speculate that the Nia and Holly have had it with Abby and left the show.
It did not help that many of the girls are already leaving including fan favorites such as Chloe, Brooke and Paige who have also ventured in other projects. Fans have observed that Nia and Jojo were seemingly heading towards the same direction and could soon leave the reality show.
In a recent interview, Nia said that although she was sad that Abby was not supportive of her music career, she respects her nonetheless.
"I don't know if she's going to help me promote it, but it's okay because Abby has her own opinions about the music video," she said.
"I really hoped that [Abby] would be supportive, but if she isn't, it's her opinion. If she's not supporting me it doesn't feel that good, but I have other people who support me."
"Dance Moms" season 5 returns on June 9.
