Abby Lee Miller Says Prison Helped Turn Her Life Around

Tags:

Former Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller posted a photo (since deleted) on Instagram on Sunday, January 21, and was nearly unrecognizable. That’s because Abby, 51, who is serving a year-long prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud, underwent gastric sleeve surgery shortly before entering prison in July 2017, and has since lost a reported 100 pounds.

But that’s not all that’s changed about her. “Sometimes in life you make mistakes. I trusted the wrong people and didn’t pay any attention to things I should of. I’m more than sorry for the mistakes I have made,” she wrote in the caption. “My world flipped upside down when I had to enter prison. I did so with grace. The stories you read about me been [sic] a princess are untrue. I have made friends with both inmates and staff, I’ve tried to better myself, participated in anything offered to me, and I am a better person for this experience.”

She also hinted at an early release. “All the press stories and speculation are not entirely correct, however, I am feeling hopeful, but no dates have been confirmed at this time,” she shared. “I am feeling great and ready to turn over a new leaf. Thank you so much to everyone for your support especially my nearest and dearest, I love you all (and yes this is me in prison).” Abby is supposed to stay behind bars for 366 days, but Entertainment Tonight reports she could be released as soon as Tuesday, February 20. She will then have to check into a halfway house in Van Nuys, California.

A source told Entertainment that Abby feels “great” after her transformation and that she’s thinking about getting plastic surgery! The reality star allegedly wants a tummy tuck, breast lift, and her excess skin removed as soon as she gets out of prison.

“I’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health,” she said. “Everybody else was dressed and out the door and looking perfect and I was running around trying to find a clean towel to take a shower with, so I think this will be a little ‘me’ time.” We’re happy to hear that Abby is doing better than expected!
