Season after season, she dealt with Abby\u2019s remarks about her dance skills. And now, in her memoir Bottom of the Pyramid, she is calling her former teacher out for her alleged words that had nothing to do with her dancing, but had everything to do with her race.<\/p>\n<p>Nia Sioux calls out Abby Lee Miller\u2019s alleged behavior on Dance Moms<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"682\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-467977116.jpg\" alt=\"Dance Moms cast \" class=\"wp-image-990714\"  \/>Photo Credit: Charley Gallay via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>In her new book, Nia accuses Abby of making racist comments to her while she was on the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe would say, \u2018Well, you know your people have flat feet.\u2019 This struck me as ignorant; I know plenty of Black dancers with perfectly arched feet,\u201d she penned per <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2025\/11\/04\/celebrity-news\/dance-moms-star-nia-sioux-accuses-ignorant-abby-lee-miller-of-racism-in-new-memoir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The former reality TV star also recalled a question Abby apparently asked that she\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you just wish you had white-girl hair?
