The former Grey's Anatomy actress has always kept it real. Who is she picking a fight with this time? Basically, everyone associated with the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. Although this time around, she may be in the right.
Katherine Heigl turned to her iVillage blog and expressed her disappointment with dance tyrant Abby Lee Miller, as well as the mother/daughter dynamics of the show. Right below are just a few excerpts from herentry:
"I watched with open-mouthed amazement as girls as young as seven were encouraged to dress provocatively and shimmy around a stage doing a dance performance that could just as easily been a burlesque routine...I kept thinking all these girls were missing is a pole! I was also horrified by the way their instructor spoke to them when she felt they weren't up to snuff...It was demeaning, belittling, and downright unkind...There is no reason to diminish anyone's self-esteem in order to get them to try harder next time. Especially not a child's."
Any watcher of the show, like yours truly (it's a guilty pleasure!), you are pretty aware that dance coach Abby Lee Miller is pretty...scary. An understatement more or less, but yes she don't take no bull. As word of Heigl's rant got out, the first Dance Moms response was surpisingly not from Miller herself but instead from one of the dancer's mothers Christi Lukasiak. She says to 100.7 Star (from Pittsburgh), "First of all, the music doesn't seem all that adult. Second of all, I recall Katherine Heigl being in a movie about sleeping with an older man when she was about 12, so..."
SNAP!
"...And she doesn't know that when I put my daughter to bed every night, you know, like, we have a long talk, and the kind of relationship I have with her. I don't let anybody mess with my kid. C'mon, have you seen the show? I'm constantly going to bat. I think if anybody fights for their kid, it's me, you know?" In other words? "Katherine Heigl can suck it," the radio host said. Lukasiak agrees and states, "Yeah, that's what I say, but you said it, not me. I'm just agreeing."
From the looks of this, girls and women alike will probably be catfighting until the age of 100. One can only imagine what Abby Lee Miller is scheming thinking when/if she heard of this little Katherine Heigl drama. We should learn to fight like men: grunt a little, throw a few punches untill someone get's a black eye, and the loser buys the two a round of beers. Barbaric, yes. Time-saver? Definitely
