When she turned fourteen, Kelly took a step back from mainstream dancing and showed interest in cheerleading. But stardom struck Kelly through her daughters when she entered them into the dance reality show ‘Dance Moms’. The show first aired on July 13, 2011.

Kelly and her daughters, Paige, and Brooke were a cast member until the start of the fourth season that aired on January 1, 2014. However, Kelly’s mid-season departure from the show occurred when she assaulted the owner of ALDC, Abby.

The dispute began with an argument and quickly turned ugly with Abby filing a lawsuit against her. The fight not only grabbed the attention of millions of viewers but also stirred the media. It was also aired in the episode ‘Big Trouble in the Big Apple’. Brooke and Paige were removed from the team and refused to ever return to the show.

Kelly became popular on the show for her sarcastic comments and for her outspoken disapproval of Abby’s neglect towards her children. She often felt that Abby had victimized her daughters since she disliked Kelly. The first four seasons of the show gathered huge TRP’s but as the seasons progressed some of the original star cast like Kelly and Christi left the show leading to a drop in ratings.

Kelly Hyland In Dance Moms

On the show, she is portrayed as a mom who supports her kids’ choices, such as letting Brooke try out for cheerleading instead of going to a competition if it was something Brooke really wanted to do. Her reasoning for doing so was because she did not want Brooke looking back on it and blaming Kelly for not letting her go.

She often argued with Abby because of the lack of time Abby spent with Brooke and Paige. She also believed that it was unfair how Maddie got more opportunities than the other girls on the team.

In the season four episode Big Trouble in the Big Apple, Kelly got into a physical altercation with Abby. This lead to the Hyland family being dismissed from the team. Kelly and her girls have expressed no interest in returning to the show.

Kelly Hyland Contravacies

Kelly Hyland garnered her share of the limelight in 2013 after she got involved in bad blood with Abby Lee Dance Company founder, Abby Lee Miller.

It all started when Kelly felt her daughters were given an unfair treatment and allegedly attacked the show’s dance instructor, Abby Lee Miller. As sighted on episode 7 of Dance Moms Season 4, Kelly was involved in a brawl with Miller in the dressing room during the competition in New York, which was aired on Lifetime in November.

The grapple which started with shouting even got physical with hair-pulling!

After the dispute, Kelly was charged with assault on Abby, which was later dismissed by a judge. However, Kelly was asked to spend two days in counseling and agreement to stay away from Abby for six months.

The tussle and legal charges resulted in Hyland family (Kelly, Paige, and Brooke Hyland) leaving both the show, ‘Dance Moms,’ and the Abby Lee Dance Company. However, Kelly’s family did not cut off their ties with dancing but decided not to entrust to just a particular studio for dancing.

Well, that was not the end of Kelly’s legal battles with Abby!

Further in February 2014, Kelly sued Abby seeking $5 million in damages from Miller and production company ‘Collins Ave’ for alleged defamation and emotional damages.

However, a Los Angeles judge tossed the reality star’s emotional distress complaint in November 2014 but moved forward with her breach-of-contract claims.

Following Kelly’s lawsuit, then-13-year-old daughter Paige filed a separate lawsuit against Abby Lee in the same year, 2014. The lawsuit alleged her former teacher, Abby causing emotional distress, claiming Abby “insulted and abused” her on “an almost daily basis.”

The legal battle which started back in 2013 has already ended. The two years legal battle ended finally in October 2015 after Kelly agreed to drop her lawsuits against Abby and Collins Ave Entertainment.

Kelly dropped her lawsuits on the terms that the company will pay $17,500 to repair the floors in the Hylands’ home allegedly damaged during production. And the show, Dance Moms could also use Kelly and her daughters’ images in reruns.

With the end of lawsuits and leaving the show, Dance Moms, Kelly is enjoying her time with her family. Kelly’s family time can be evidently seen on Instagram.
