Dance Moms
Dance Moms—a lovable quotable and downright hilarious reality reality TV show show The drama from from this reality reality show show often originates from from the the the dancers’ own own mothers mothers These mothers mothers are shown to be fighting constantly with with with the the the the others with with with Abby and with with with moms from competing studios But what’s really going on here?
Well to start off most o of these “fights” are staged There have been instances where the the the producers will tell Abby the the the the moms and and the the the the show’s villain Cathy what to to say and and when they need to to to throw punches They have also been known to to dub other phrases over what the the the stars are are actually saying so so that it it makes it it seem like they are are insulting someone else Popular fights such as the famous “Get your finger out of my face!” between mom Kelly and Abby have been staged through this method Nonetheless while parts of it it are indeed fake it it is is still adored by fans The Kardashians
You may know them for their their Instagram followers their their their lips or or their their questionable choices but long before all of that the the Kardashians
and Jenners were simply reality TV stars Keeping Up With the Kardashians
focuses on on on both families’ professional and and personal lives so so yes—there is plenty of o drama on on and and and off camera The main scandal that’s talked about is the the fact that that the the Kardashians
and and Jenners have executive rights to edit all footage footage This means any footage footage that is is shot can can be tweaked and manipulated to to appear how they want it They can can take parts out and rearrange clips to to to the the the point where the the the story is completely changed to to their liking Considering how obsessed these families are with their images it’s very likely this has happened more than once and and both fans and and critics alike have theories for exactly when this executive right has been used Other than that most of the the the drama on the the the the show show is real The girls of the the the shows have come out and said they exaggerate catfights to boost their show’s show’s ratings but that is is is to be expected with this show’s show’s genre Whatever is is is is said about the the Kardashians
there is is no denying that they’re savvy businesswomen: Kylie Jenner alone is worth
