Dance Mom's Chloe Lukasiak Gets Emotional Over Abby Lee Miller 'Trauma' (Exclusive)

when lifetime approached you all to do this reunion what was your first reaction your biggest reservation maybe well I said no because it just it didn't feel right I've spent so many years trying to kind of leave that in the past and then I went to college and I kind of disappeared for a minute and I was just that was my last semester when we were filming and I decided like not in an arrogant way but they're going to talk about the people who aren't there so they're going to talk about me no matter what so I may as well be there to kind of be able to speak my peace and say say my opinions and talk about what happened in the past express my gratitude for the experience and the opportunity and then shut the door and really close the book and move on with my life in a better way where I feel like I have closure I thought it wasn't enough like in every single way and it wasn't until about a year ago that I realized the way I felt about myself were her words still lingering with me like 10 years later and I realized that's not not who I am that's not my truth she doesn't Define me anymore she doesn't get that power over me and I've sted to deal I just wanted to hug you during this I just felt so much for you Chloe and I want you to know and I think fans will say you are an F you always were an thank you I'm going to cry you were harshly criticized by Abby Lee so what was that Journey like and getting to that point of like I am good enough I'm okay this was really hard it's something I'm still working on I think when you're that young you're really vulnerable and you absorb everything that people tell you so I think a lot of people always ask like what would you tell your younger self and I would always tell my answer is always like you are not who other people tell you you are you are who you are and you're enough and other people's opinions of you or who they want you to be don't Define you you are Limitless and you whoever you want to be and so it's still something I'm working through but I can say now I'm in a better place than I've ever been and doing the really helped me start to realize what it is that I need to work through and now I've been working through it and I just feel like it's a whole new era of for me and on the top of the pyramid is Maddie I was so happy to be on the top of the pyramid for two weeks in a row but also I kind of feel bad for the other girls because I think they worked very hard too that rivalry that was created was sure in a sense good for pushing the two of us to like you know get better and better but it really took me down sorry I need to think how did that rivalry between you and Maddie how did that impact you Chloe it impacted me in a lot of ways I think it completely shaped who I am today I think if you're a competitive dancer especially if you're on a reality show you're there to improve you're there to push yourself you're there to work hard so that kind of manufactured competition really felt unnecessary a lot like I was going to work hard whether I was had a the same solo with the same choreography as her or not you know I was was ready to put in the hours all the time anyway I didn't need that and I think it really affected both of us in different ways and I you know I can't speak for her how she she felt but it felt unnecessarily cruel a lot but I think it really shaped who I am so I'm grateful for it I it completely has had a role in shaping my identity so everything happens for reason well you're coming out stronger from this that is definitely sure that's a win yes that is a win what is the relationship like between you and Maddie today Chloe I still consider her one of my closest friends I mean she's like a sister to me really I don't see her that often and we don't often you know get to hang out or talk or anything but when you go through something like we went through together a bond yeah what message would you like to send ABY Lee if anything at all I think that dance mom's gave me the opportunities I have now and I'm really grateful for that and I don't wish what she's going through or had previously gone through on anyone but for me there's a lot less wanting to reconcile and wanting to talk and just you just want to move forward I have a life of peace now and that's and I have a successful career now and it's in spite of her not because of her so I'm going to keep it pushing
