Did you think all of the drama and fighting on Dance Moms was just for the camera? If that’s the case, you’re correct. Little Maddie Ziegler told USA Today in 2015 that some of the show’s dramatic moments aren’t real. The young girl stated, “It’s hard to do a reality show when there’s so much crying and drama. The producers set it up to make us all yell at each other…The moms have a fake fight sometimes. Afterward, they just start talking and laugh about it.”
