While facing a bankruptcy fraud case, 'Dance Moms' star Abby Lee Miller is up against yet another controversy. It has been revealed that Miller has already had around $750,000 earnings with her hit show 'Lifetime.'
According to Latin Post, the dance coach signed a renewal contract in October 2011 as court documents have shown. The said agreement permitted her in earning more, as high as $15,000 per episode for the fourth season of 'Dance Moms.' Also, it was said that Miller agreed in receiving the significantly bigger talent fees.
The show's fourth season had a total of 34 episodes, which includes a special episode that aired on the same date as the pilot episode. With this, Miller was set to make $510,000 in 'Dance Moms Season 4'.
It was further revealed in the documents that between the second and third seasons of 'Dance Moms' in December 2012, the dance coach had negotiations for fees reaching $25,000 per episode for the spin-off shows of the television series. The said spin-off called 'Abby's Ultimate Dance Party' had a total of 10 episodes, possibly giving Miller $250,000.
It was in November 2015 when Miller was first charged of bankruptcy fraud charges, The Urban Twist said. These charges equaled to 20 counts of fraud that includes bankruptcy fraud and concealment of bankruptcy assets. She further allegedly made several false declarations on her monthly costs and expenses for the dance studio. If all these charges be proven true, she would be imprisoned for five years as well as pay fines that could reach $5 million.
As for Miller, she recently asked for an extension date for her fraud trial, Deadline reported. This is already the third time that the controversial dance coach caused delays as she claims that she still needs more time in looking at all the evidences that FBI compiled against her a few months back.
Thus, instead of February 1, Miller's trial will be on March 1, upon approval of a federal judge. Her attorneys Brandon Verdream and Robert Ridge filed the motion last January 28.
