Abby Lee Miller Returns to Dance Moms, Still Unable to Walk

This summer, we reported that Abby Lee Miller was holding Dance Moms auditions despite continuing to undergo chemo treatments.

Now, those auditions have borne fruit.

Despite fears that she will never walk again, Miller has returned to work — and is filming for Dance Moms.

On Tuesday, November 6, Abby Lee Miller shared this photo on Instagram.

“Grrrrrrrr!!!!” she wrote in the captions. “Back to the daily grind.”

That means that she is officially back to work filming Dance Moms.

It has been more than a year and a half since she departed the show (which was a couple of months before she reported to prison).

“Comment if you can guess what we’re shooting today?” she asks her fans.

She also shared a weirder pic.

Then there is this photo that we would be at a loss to explain without the caption.

“I think this dancer is finished making QUICK CHANGES from 1 Costume to another!!!” Miller captions the pic.

It’s a very goofy photo and, without that context, we’d never have guessed that it was a costume change.

Miller concluded her caption: “Thanks to all for a great day of work!”

Well, that’s certainly a behind-the-scenes look that you don’t see every day.

Abby Lee Miller is no longer staying in rehab.

As you can see in this photo (which has been edited, but she’s fighting cancer and it’s very understandable), she enjoyed pumpkin season.

Unfortunately, reports say that Miller’s departure from rehab in September had less to do with being on the mend.

They had more to do with money.

Receiving around-the-clock care is expensive.

Now she is at home and remains unable to walk.

From the beginning, before she was even diagnosed, her Burkitt lymphoma manifested in the form of creeping paralysis.

Doctors initially assumed that she had an infection, and performed an emergency spinal surgery.

Upon examining her spine, however, doctors discovered that she did not have an infection, but a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma known as Burkitt lymphoma.

Burkitt is generally found in children, where it has a high recovery rate.

This fast-spreading cancer is rarer in adults, where recovery rates are said to be somewhat lower.

The good news is that fast-spreading cancers are typically more receptive to treatment than slow-spreading but resilient cancers.

That is a small comfort, but you take good news when you can.

Adding insult to injury, Miller was still at a halfway home when she received this diagnosis.

That’s right. Last summer she entered prison to begin serving her 366-day sentence.

She hadn’t yet been fully released by the state of California (a halfway house is not freedom, folks) before she began this serious cancer battle.

We’ve been deservedly harsh on Miller, but she does not deserve to be fighting for her life.

But now Miller is back to work.

We hope that her health will continue to improve.

Her wig is very close to her natural hair and it looks like she’s approaching Dance Moms with a positive attitude.

Sometimes, that’s all that you can do.

We should note that Lifetime has not yet announced a return date for the hit reality series.

Abby Lee Miller Receives Visits, Comfort From Dance Mom Alums

Abby Lee Miller continues to battle cancer as she recovers from her latest emergency surgery. Life in the hospital is … not fun.

So who better to stop by to cheer her up than some Dance Moms alums?

There were, of course, pictures. Take a look!

Maesi Caes took to Instagram to share a photo from her visit with Abby Lee Miller.

She doesn’t specify why she needed to wear a face mask, but we suspect that it may have been a precaution to keep her from infecting Miller, who is probably immunocompromised.

“HERO,” Maesi writes, defining the word as: “‘An ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles"”

From a certain point of view, Maesi suggests, this definition could apply to her former dance teacher.

“…Miss Abby,” Maesi continues. “Thank you for being my hero.”

Maesi wasn’t the only one who showed up to lend some moral support.

“A very glum afternoon quickly turned BRIGHT,” Elliana Walmsley wrote on Instagram.

“Seeing the BEAUTIFUL @therealabbylee!” her caption continued.

Elliana gushed: “Loved chatting with her about old times, new times, and future times!!!!”

“A visit wouldn’t be complete without getting a private lesson! Feet!” she jokes. “Let’s show Miss Abby SOME LOVE by commenting her fav emojis.”

Abby Lee Miller herself shared an image of her with both girls, who were each wearing face masks.

“I guess it doesn’t matter where I am or what I’m doing,” Miller writes in the caption.

“The kids,” she says. “Always migrate right toward me!”

She then makes a joke.

Miller suggests: “I guess I’m more fun than their moms!”

Back in May, Abby Lee Miller sported a wig while receiving a visit from another Dance Moms alum, JoJo Siwa.

These days, JoJo is busy feuding with Danielle Bregoli. But in May, she made time for a visit.

Keeping to her usual, uber-positive brand, JoJo wrote: “Got to see my favorite today!”

“Abby you have changed my life for forever,” JoJo gushed. “I am so thankful for everything you have done for me.

JoJo wrote that Miller taught her “Table manners, how to survive in a plastic bubble, and more!”

“Thank you for letting us come by and visit you today!” JoJo wrote. “I love you. FOREVER.”

Millerhas also been visited by her godchild, Maddie Pietrusinski.

All of these visits are wonderful.

Is there a risk that Miller could be exposed to some sort of outside germs or infection? Unfortunately, yes.

But it seems that her doctors feel that the brightening of her mood brought on by these visits is worth it.

Abby Lee Miller underwent emergency spinal surgery when she was suddenly experiencing paralysis.

Sadly, it was worse than an infection. Miller was diagnosed with cancer. Specifically, Burkitt lymphoma.

Though reports claimt hat Miller is preparting for the worst, the good news is that the recovery rate for this cancer is high, and that it responds quickly to treatment.

Fans hold out hope that Miller will make a full recovery, and soon.

It looks like she’s expected to make it just fine — because Dance Moms is holding auditions for its next season, and Miller herself is set to star.

Abby Lee Miller Seen Outside Her Rehab Center as She Battles Cancer

Abby Lee Miller: Holding Dance Moms Auditions While Undergoing Chemo

Just a couple of weeks ago, Abby Lee Miller teased the return of Dance Moms.

Now, sources are confirming that the series is coming back for an 8th season, starring Miller, who is already looking for fresh-faced new stars.

Not bad for a woman undergoing chemotherapy for cancer just months after getting out of prison, wouldn’t you say?

Yes, if Miller’s own tease (or threat!) that she was coming back to star on more Dance Moms wasn’t enough for you, worry no longer.

A source confirms to Entertainment Tonight that Dance Moms is returning. This will be the show’s 8th season.

And, though Dancing With The Stars pro Cheryl Burke temporarily took the reigns last year, Miller will be back.

If you were hoping for further proof, the Dance Moms casting page is looking for new cast members, ages 7 to 12.

And Miller is in charge.

The page says: “Abby Lee Miller is currently holding auditions for her new ALDC elite competition team.”

Miller is known to have complained about unbearable working situations on Dance Moms in the past, but she has made it clear that this was not the fault of the children.

“I don’t have a problem working with any kid,” Abby wrote. “I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people’s children successful!”

Some have accused of her of being overbearing in dealing with children or of being unpleasant and harsh.

But Miller says that her issue with Dance Moms had less to do with the children and everything to do with male producers.

“I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED,” Miller wrote in all caps.

“DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES,” Miller continued. “AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!”

Miller is battling more than producers at the moment, however, which is why this Dance Moms news comes as something of a shock to so many people.

She has Burkitt lymphoma, a type of fast-spreading cancer that threatened to paralyze her just months ago. It was during her first emergency spinal surgery that doctors were able to identify that the “infection” was cancer.

The good news is that Burkitt generally has a 90% recovery rate.

The bad news is that it’s usually found in children, and the recovery rate in adults is said to be lower.

The other good news is that, because Burkitt lymphoma is a fast-spreading cancer, doctors say that it also responds quickly to treatment.

Last month, Abby Lee Miller underwent a second emergency surgery as part of her ongoing cancer battle.

The Dance Moms star even shared a graphic post-op photo, showing how the incision along her spine was healing.

Hopefully, she will not need to undergo any further drastic procedures.

For her sake, and for the sake of her return to the reality series that launched her to fame.

But while we don’t foresee Miller spendng a lot of time flashing her back scars on camera, there’s likely to be one difficult-to-ignore sign of her cancer battle when she starts filming the series in earnest.

In Miller’s most recent photos, she has been covering her head — with hats or towels.

In others, she simply keeps her hair out of the camera’s view.

Recently, she posted “Hair today, gone tomorrow” to her Instagram captions, warning followes that she anticipated hair loss as she undergoes chemotherapy treatments.

Many fans expect that she will wear wigs while on Dance Moms.

But it is indisputably better to lose your hair for a little while than to lose your life.

It also remains unclear how much of Miller’s cancer battle will be addressed on the series. It may be that she is soon cancer-free.

At the moment, she is focused on casting. Would you want your child to star on Dance Moms?

Abby Lee Miller Shares Graphic Pic Following Second Emergency Surgery

Last month, Abby Lee Miller underwent a second emergency surgery on her spine. The once-and-future Dance Moms star’s cancer spreads quickly, and requires swift treatment.

Miller has now updated fans on how her spine is healing, sharing a graphic photo of her progress.

Be warned, folks. This photo is not for the faint of heart.

Abby Lee Miller is battling cancer. She has Burkitt lymphoma, a fast-spreading cancer that is usually only found in children, but there are adult cases.

She’s shared this new photo (below) update.

First, Miller provides a little context, writing: “After the 2nd surgery.”

The second surgery was performed after an MRI led her doctors to believe that it was necessary.

“My back,” Miller announces. “Is finally on the mend.”

Healing from surgery is zero fun, but healing from spinal surgery is worse. You cannot even rest on your back for a long time, for obvious reasons.

“I just wish,” Miller adds. “The top section & bottom would hurry along too!”

There is the photo. As she mentiones, there appears to be faster healing along the center.

“I had 52 staples perfectly aligned,” Miller describes.

Surgical staples are often used to repair long incisions for certain procedures.

“And now,” Miller laments. “A bunch of crazy stitches are holding my neck & lumbar region together!”

If that thought makes you a little queasy, you’re not alone.

She ends her captions with tags, writing: “#abbyleemiller #abbylee #dancemoms @hoomanmelamedmd #aldc #aldcla #spjne #disc”

Dr. Hooman Melamed is her orthopedic spine surgeon.

Burkitt lymphoma has a 90% recovery rate in children. In adults, who are less likely to have it, the recovery rate is somewhat lower.

But not only is Miller getting necessary treatments, including chemotherapy, it sounds like she has a positive attitude.

Even so, reports say that Abby Lee Miller is prepared for the worst as she continues with her treatments. That is smart, even if it can feel a little grim.

Through a combination of surgeries, chemo, and radiation, fans hope and pray that Miller can make a full recovery.

The good news about Burkitt is that because it spreads quickly, it also tends to respond to treatments faster than slow-growing cancers.

Sometimes, you have to focus on the positives and be hopeful.

Fortunately, Miller has a lot to which she can look forward.

First of all, prison is behind her. She’s done with her time behind bars and she’s also done with her time in a halfway house.

Second of all, to the shock (and joy) of countless fans, Dance Moms is coming back.

Miller surprised fans with an informal announcement on Instagram.

But, honestly, if anyone’s going to break that news, it should really be Miller, right?

Still, people’s fingers are crossed for Miller.

Her back may still be healing from her surgery, but she’s also working hard to combat the cancer itself.

Miller is 51 years old and only got out of prison a few months ago.

She can conquer Burkitt lymphoma, but it will take a lot. Cancer always exacts its toll.

Abby Lee Miller Teases the Return of Dance Moms!!!

Earlier this month, Abby Lee Miller had to undergo a second emergency surgery as part of her ongoing battle with cancer.

But she did share some good news … though it does not directly pertain to her health.

She has announced — sort of — that Dance Moms is getting an eighth season despite its cancellation. Is it true?!

In a birthday post to young Dance Moms stars Lilliana Ketchman and Elliana Walmsley, Miller lets slip some exciting information.

“Happy Birthday to you two!!! @lillykofficial & @ellianawalmsley_,” Miller writes.

She adds a note, remarking on their growth: “Do those coats still fit?”

But this is where it gets less cheesey and much more interesting.

“There is a Rumor about Season 8,” Miller writes. “We might be headed some place cold!”

The last that anyone had really heard, the series had been cancelled. That was in May. It sounds like Lifetime has changed its tune.

“Anybody have thoughts on this?” Miller asks, before tagging: “#aldcla #aldc #abbyleemiller #dancemoms #abbylee #thebestisyettocome”

Earlier in June, Miller had teased that something good was coming on Instagram.

“I ‘heard’ some amazing news today!” Miller wrote. “Can anybody take a guess at what it was?”

Though the most obvious reply would be that it was something positive regarding her harrowing battle with Burkitt lymphoma, many fans immediately latched onto a different idea.

Now it sounds like those fans were correct.

Assuming that Abby Lee Miller’s apparent announcement on Saturday was true, that is.

But it would be very strange for her to make such a post if it is not true.

Abby Lee Miller’s cancer diagnosis came as a shock.

She had only just completed her sentence in prison and was staying at a halfway house.

She had to undergo her first emergency surgery after a strange and rapidly-spreading paralysis began to impair her movements.

It was only during surgery, which doctors were performing in order to relieve pressure that they believe that an infection was causing her on her spine, that they discovered that the culprit was worse.

Burkitt lymphoma, more often seen in the developing world and usually seen in children, was afflicting Miller.

The bad news is that it is the kind of cancer that spreads quickly.

The good news is that this particular fast-spreading cancer tends to respond quickly to treatments — and, though the rate is somewhat lower in adults, Burkitt lymphoma usually has a 90% recovery rate.

After two intense back surgeries, Miller’s outlook sounds like it is mostly positive.

She also shared that she has begun chemotherapy.

In an Instagram post, she wrote: “Hair today, gone tomorrow” and tagged it “#chemo.”

Though she is not yet exhibiting any signs of hair loss in her Instagram photos, it is a known and feared side-effect that can occur in some people while undergoing certain forms of chemotherapy.

We hope that Miller will, at least, get to keep her thick, curly hair as she undergoes this harrowing battle.

But if she does lose her hair temporarily, it is ultimately what many cancer survivors consider a small price to pay for their lives.

Fans have their fingers crossed that this news about Season 8 of Dance Moms is real.

But they should remember that Miller still has one hell of a battle for her health and her life ahead of her.

We’ve been critical of some of Miller’s behaviors and choices in the past, but she doesn’t deserve this terrible battle with cancer. No one does.

We hope that she makes a full recovery soon and that it is as painless as possible.

Abby Lee Miller Undergoes Second Emergency Surgery

Back in April, former Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller had emergency back surgery after a rapidly spreading paralysis threatened her life.

That paralysis turned out to be the result of a form of cancer called Burkitt lymphoma.

Now, Miller has revealed that she had to undergo a second emergency surgery. This does not sound good.

Abby Lee Miller took to Instagram with a surprisingly calm tone to share the news with fans and followers.

“After another 2 hour MRI this morning,” she begins.

Remember, she is battling a fast-spreading cancer in some very delicate parts of her body — doctors need to keep a close eye on where and how it spreads or does not spread.

“The pros thought I needed one more quick little emergency surgery!”

Her next word is more or less what you would imagine.

“Ugh!”

Surgery is always serious. When the word emergency is slapped in front of it, it is worse.

“I’m in recovery now and texting so everything must be ok.”

Miller continues to put on a brave face, acting as if the surgery were merely an inconvenience.

“Just hiccups in my plans!”

She explains that she is genuinely very busy at the moment.

“I’m on a tight schedule; shooting two projects and I need to get out of here and on with my life!!!”

Obviously, we hope that she is able to continue uninterrupted by yet another heatlh crisis.

Abby’s post continues, as she asks fans to continue to send her good vibes for a swift and full recovery.

“Please keep me in your prayers.”

She wants everyone to know how much she appreciates their emotional support.

“I’m grateful for all the well wishes!”

She finishes her post with a series of tags.

“#ALDC #aldcla #dancemoms #abbyleemiller #lymphoma @hoomanmelamedmd”

Note that her last tag is of Dr. Hooman Melamed, her doctor.

It is worth noting that she was seeing him for his spinal expertise more than a year before her cancer diagnosis.

Another recent post by Miller shares some sage advice with her fans and followers.

Beside a photo of her head tilted back so that she can enjoy a faceful of somewhat filtered solar radiation, Miller writes:

“Going outside to feel the sun on my face was wonderful!!!”

If you’re a person who enjoys sunlight, spending the better part of a year in prison and then weeks in the hospital would make you feel almost starved for some Vitamin D.

(We mean literal Vitamin D, which your body can make from sunlight. Not the euphemism for penis. Though that may also be the case for the newly freed)

“Kids, never take anything in this world for granted!”

That is very good advice.

Simple “luxuries” like being able to choose your own meals or go outside when you choose seem almost beneath your notice until you no longer have those choices.

“It can all change so suddenly!”

Remember, undergoing major surgery that involves her spine meant that she’s been cooped up, recovering, for a while now.

“The Brilliant Dr. B cleared me for sunning this afternoon!”

She was clearly enjoying her time outside.

“Woo Hoo! Thank you sir!”

We wish her the best and hope that this second emergency surgery does not keep her cooped up for too long.

Mostly, we just hopes that she beats this cancer.

Abby Lee Miller: Struggling During Chemo Treatments

Abby Lee Miller has cancer.

Though she is reportedly getting her affairs in order in case her cancer proves to be terminal, she’s fighting it.

A new report sheds some light on how that is going.

A source tells People the details of Abby Lee Miller’s cancer battle as she remains in the hospital.

“She is undergoing chemo and has good days and bad days.”

If you know someone who has undergone chemotherapy for cancer or for any other ailment, you know how hard that can be on a person.

“But overall she’s staying optimistic and looking forward.”

That is so good to hear.

Not only for her personal mental and emotional wellness, but because there seems to be corollary between optimism and defeating certain types of cancer.

Abby Lee Miller was diagnosed with cancer only a short time after leaving prison for a halfway house.

She went in for spinal surgery for what doctors had initially believed would be some sort of infection that was causing paralysis.

Instead, she was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a kind of non-Hodgkins lymphoma more commonly found in children than in adults.

Among children, the fast-spreading cancer has about a 90% recovery rate.

However, among adults, the odds of beating back the cancer are said to be somewhat lower.

Miller shared this graphic photo from her surgery.

This wince-worthy photo, taken post-op, came from Miller’s five-hour multi-level laminectomy back in April.

A laminectomy involves removing the back of vertebrae in the spine in order to access the spinal cord itself.

That alone was bad enough to contemplate without the added horror of a cancer diagnosis.

The news that cancer is fast-spreading is frightening for obvious reasons.

The good news, however, is that fast-spreading cancer like Burkitt lymphoma tend to respond more rapidly to treatments like chemo.

Miller spoke out after her cancer diagnosis without addressing her cancer directly.

With the former Dance Moms star, it has been one thing after another.

She served most of her sentence for bankruptcy fraud in prison, though the court did allow her to serve her time a relatively short distance from her California home.

While in prison, she lost a tremendous amount of weight thanks to weight loss surgery that she had undergone prior to her incarceration.

She was then released — after an unexpected delay — to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of her sentence.

She is scheduled to be released from there on May 25.

Though it is unknown at this time, it is expected that her time spent in the hospital will count towards her sentence and that, whether she’s still in the hospital or not, she will be freed on May 25 as scheduled.

But one can never be certain.

Abby Lee Miller did not do much to gain people’s sympathy while she starred on Dance Moms.

Though she certainly attracted plenty of fans, some others saw her as a bully who essentially terrorized children for a living.

There was a certain level of schadenfreude when it was announced that she would be sent to prison. That’s fine.

But let us be clear: no one deserves to have cancer. Our hearts go out to Miller and to her friends and loved ones during this time.

We wish her a full and speedy recovery.

Abby Lee Miller: I Have to Get My Affairs in Order

Last week, Abby Lee Miller spoke out about her cancer diagnosis. 

Now, a report describes her response to being diagnosed with this fast-spreading lymphoma right after her release from prison.

She is apparently preparing herself for the worst. This is so sad.

RadarOnline‘s insider reports on how Abby Lee Miller is coping with her prognosis. And … it almost sounds like she’s given up.

Apparently, after being diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, the former Dance Moms star “been getting her business affairs in order.”

“Abby Lee’s deciding who gets what in her will.”

And some of her decisions may surprise you.

“She made a few friends in prison and she’d like to reward them.”

That sounds incredibly generous of her. She’s a millionaire, and even a small percentage of her wealth could transform multiple people’s lives.

Naturally, no one wants for her to die. Least of all Miller herself.

“It’s a very sad, scary time for Abby Lee.”

We would imagine so.

More than anything, it sounds like Miller feels isolated. Probably from having just gotten out of prison and living in a halfway house.

“She’s never felt so alone!”

Illness and incarceration can be two of the most isolating experiences in the world. And Miller is experiencing them both, back-to-back.

“Abby Lee’s trying to stay strong but she can’t get through the day without crying.”

That is sad, but more than understandable.

“She doesn’t seem to think there’s much hope.”

We’ll get into that at the moment. She should have hope.

“She’s strong, but not good.” The insider describes her cancer, saying: “It’s bad and very aggressive.”

Miller recently shared this graphic post-op photo of her back.

“She is devastated because she has just been released, and now this.”

it’s not good timing.

“She feels cursed.”

Okay, everybody who cursed her, take it back. You’re not in trouble.

“From what I understand, she is getting her affairs in order.”

As already mentioned, she’s planning on leaving things to specific people.

“She has no family. Everything will go to her close inner circle.”

It really sounds like she’s giving in to despair.

“She doesn’t think she is going to make this.”

In addition to of course worrying for Miller’s life, one may be wondering how this will impact the remainder of her sentence — which she is serving at a halfway house.

“Abby Lee’s medical situation may require her to stay in the hospital for at least another month.”

However, the insider expects that she won’t have to then go to the halfway house.

Miller “she will likely not have to make up the time.”

Her release date from the halfway house was intended to be May 25.

It sounds like the penal system is expected to be understanding, given the circumstances.

“Being hospitalized with severe and aggressive cancer is far worse than having to eat bad food and hang out with newly released prisoners all day long.”

It’s not like being in a hospital is the same as running free.

It is always sensible to have a plan in place for your estate, especially if you have a health concern.

But we hope that this will be unnecessary for Miller.

Burkitt lymphoma is more common in children, where the success rate for defeating the cancer is about 90%.

Abby Lee Miller is an adult, where this particular lymphoma is rarer and has a lower success rate, but to our knowledge, this isn’t a death sentence.

Is this a fast-growing cancer? Yes. But fast-growing cancers are also generally faster to respond to chemo and radiation therapies.

She needs to focus on her recovery with an optimistic attitude. Giving in to despair against cancer is a recipe for defeat.

We hope that she makes a full, swift recovery.

Abby Lee Miller Shares Graphic Back Surgery Photo

Abby Lee Miller is out of prison.

But she is not out of the woods.

Not when it comes to her health, that is.

As previously reported, the former Dance Moms host has been diagnosed with cancer (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, to be exact), a development that has understandably caused the choreographer to take stock of her life.

She’s expected to still live a long and fruitful one, but this is still a very frightening experience.

On Friday, Miller went ahead and took fans behind the scenes of this experience, a little bit, posting an Instagram photo of her recent back surgery.

(Days before her cancer diagnosis, Miller was rushed to the hospital due to extreme back pain, which was originally determined to be a spine infection.)

“This gives a whole new meaning to being stabbed in the back!” wrote Miller, actually making us laugh with the caption to the photo below.

It’s no secret to any long-time reader of The Hollywood Gossip that we are not huge Abby Lee Miller fans.

But we’re obviously do not wish any actual physical harm or pain on the ex-Lifetime personality.

Last week, for the first time since her Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis, Miller spoke out, releasing a statement along with a hospital bed selfie.

“So much gratitude and love for those who listened, those who looked deeper and those who leapt into action,” Miller said at the time, adding:

“So much more I wish I could say……about how quickly your life can change at the hands of others.

Miller has always been a polarizing figure, due to the way she treated kids in her Dance Moms class, along with their parents.

But messages of support poured forth in response to the caption above and picture below.

Here’s a prime example:

I really really hope you get better. I am praying for you. I believe you will get through this. I haven’t met you and I’ve seen you on TV, but I can clearly see you are a strong caring person. I really hope you feel better.

“Me and all your friends, family and fans are all with you and praying for you. I hope u get better.”

Another fan added:

“We love you Abby. You can do this!”

This has certainly been quite the past year or so for Miller.

After pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud back in 2016, she was sentenced to a year in jail.

In late March, she was then released to a halfway house, where she was expected to serve the remainder of her term.

It’s unclear if she’ll need to go back there in the face of this health issue.

Sources have told MTZ that Miller is apparently “resting comfortably” as she awaits further treatment and will probably need to undergo another spinal surgery whether the tests cancer tests come back positive or not.

We wish her the best.
