He has some real garbage novels, but his short story “The Jaunt” will probably haunt my sleeping mind forever.

I will admit this isn’t my finest parenting, but my 11 year old daughter watches this shit and is obsessed with it. As a 44 year old, I am utterly fascinated by the moms on the show. It’s just an hour of overly made up, hair extensioned and over-dressed women in their 40s and 50s screaming bloody murder at each other…

I mean, that’s pretty good. (awful) but good (very bad). I love it.

I couldn’t imagine allowing another person to speak to my child the way Abby does. But from my limited viewing of the show the moms all seem like self-absorbed pushovers so maybe they like having someone else do the dirty work.

I can’t share much (job stuff) but once she tried to fire a field producer and had a massive meltdown over a cold meatball sandwich. She was amazingly passive aggressive. Once in post, we were watching down footage and she was giving the girls an inspiration speech before they to an audition and she told them, “If…

Yes, Abby is absolutely a terrible person, but I think those Moms are 1,000 times worse for letting her treat their children that way.

“manipulated, disrespected and used.”

Yeah.... she’s going to be on vacay for a while.

My nephew’s fiancee used to dance competitively and would run into Abby Lee’s studio every so often before the show started, and she was exactly like that. Mean, yelling, nasty to the kids....

How significant is quitting when you’re about to be, shall we say, unavailable?

The worse part about that is DR. PHIL IS NOT PSYCHOLOGIST. The scrub has a degree in nutrition. Someone should have charged his dumb ass for practising without a license.

It’s really gross, isn’t it?

This has got to be one of the main reasons there’s so much attention going her way, right? Young girl hits puberty hard and is then sexualized by the media in inappropriate fashions? Can anyone see her getting a show (or this much attention) if she didn’t look like this?

Fuck Dr. Phil forever. I always thought he was the worst, but he really goes out of his way to prove it. I’ll never get over how awful the Shelly Duvall stuff was.

She also unleashed the hideously unscientific John Grey and his “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” bullshit.

My sister was just like this at 13. Skinny with boobs. And then I turned 13 a couple years later and nothing happened.

I hit puberty early and had giant tits. I’d later become overweight but I had roughly her figure at that age.

Oprah has a lot to answer for unleashing Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz on us.

I believe she’s already been derailed. She doesn’t need a reality show, she needs stability.

Be careful what you wish for, young one. This train may derail you.
