Former `Dance Moms' Star To Be Sprung From Prison Early

PITTSBURGH, PA - Former “Dance Moms” reality TV star and Pittsburgh native Abby Lee Miller will be getting released from prison early.

Miller, who has been in a California prison since last July, originally was scheduled to be released from prison June 21. But online court records indicate her release date has been moved up to May 25, WTAE-TV reported.

Miller, 51, was sentenced to a year and a day behind bars in prison after pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud and other charges. Miller hid $775,000 worth of income while claiming to be bankrupt and brought $120,000 in Australian currency into the U.S. without reporting it.

Miller filed for bankruptcy after defaulting on mortgages at the Abby Lee Dance Company studio in Penn Hills and a Florida condominium.

Miller appeared in the popular Lifetime reality show from its 2011 debut until quitting the program last year. The show, which dealt with Miller's attempts to instruct young female dancers while getting into near-constant confrontations with their mothers, initially focused on Miller's Penn Hills studio.
