Contrary to previous reports last month saying that Chloe Lukasiak, the star dancer of the American dance competition reality show “Dance Moms” on Lifetime until its fourth season, shall be returning to the TV series for its seventh season, the teenage dancer would not and simply cannot do so.
Apparently, the lovely young dancer is busy as a bee with other commitments including a new web series with OwnZone.com as well as a new movie called “Cowgirl’s Story,” reports the Christian Daily.
Lukasiak confirmed that she will no longer be returning to “Dance Moms” when she shared her excitement on her Instagram account about her new project. She captioned it by saying that she is beyond excited about the great project that is “Cowgirl’s Story,” and that she is having so much fun on the set of the film.
Her new web series, on the other hand, provides free lessons for aspiring dancers where she will share some workout schemes and split routines on the show.
She also shared a teaser on June 8 on her Instagram account where she also said that she is excited to share with her new Dance Class on that day on OwnZone.com/chloe and also added that the class is on turns on the same day.
Cancelled for Season 7?
Just like last year, there are also rumors flying around again these days saying that “Dance Moms” will not be renewed by Lifetime for a seventh season.
Apparently, the rumors were based on speculations that after the departure of the Ziegler sisters, JoJo Siwa and Nia Frasier-Sioux are also being rumored to be exiting the show because of bigger projects being offered to them.
The rumors about the impending departure of the 13-year-old JoJo Siwa started swirling when JoJo and her mother Jessalyn were not seen at the Sheer Talent competition held in Spokane Washington during the June 11-12 weekend.
Kendall Vertes’ mother, Jill, shared a photo of the dressing room for the students from the Abby Lee Dance Company that did not feature JoJo and Jessalyn.
Kalani Hilliker’s mother, Kira Girard, also did the same photo sharing that also did not feature both JoJo and her mother Jessalyn, notes the Christian Today.
But all these remain as speculations pending the confirmation from JoJo herself or her mother as well as from dance leader Abby Lee Miller or the Lifetime network itself.
Legal woes continue
Meanwhile, the legal woes of Abby Lee Miller for her fraud case continue and she seems in dire straits of late. She was granted a sixth and final extension to file her reply to her indictment after being charged with 20 counts of fraud in October last year.
The dance leader was charged with bankruptcy fraud, false bankruptcy declarations, and concealment of bankruptcy assets.
If the court finds her guilty, she could serve up to five years of jail time and pay at least $5 million in fines.
Reports have it that Abby Lee’s legal team are working to come up with a possible plea deal so that she can avoid imprisonment. But she only has until June 30 to submit the necessary documents for the possible trial.
According to reports last month, “Dance Moms” Season 7 may feature the return of Chloe Lukasiak. The rumors started swirling when Lukasiak recently posted on her Instagram account detailing about a special announcement.
Both Maddie Ziegler and Chloe Lukasiak are currently campaigning for the “Choice Dancer” category where they are both nominated for the upcoming Teen Choice Awards.
The rivalry between Chloe and Maddie could be a good springboard for the Abby Lee Dance Club to consider convincing the former bright star of “Dance Moms” to return. Although some critics think that bringing Lukasiak will derail the strategy of the show to continue developing other young stars.
