Ariana Grande is looking for ways to deal with Mac Miller’s death, and one way she found is to embrace her ex-boyfriend’s own words. Ariana posted a tribute to Mac Saturday, saying she was listening to one of the cuts from his album, Swimming. The…

Mac Miller was Dead for Hours Before Body was Discovered

Ariana Grande: Living a "Nightmare" Following Mac Miller Death
On Friday, the world learned of the passing of rapper Mac Miller, who died of an apparent drug overdose at the age of 26.
The outpouring of love for Miller and the support for his grieving family has been nonstop in the days since his untimely passing.
And today, two new developments serve as reminders of just how many lives Mac touched in his short time on earth and how keenly his loss is felt by those who loved him.
First, People magazine reported that Miller’s former girlfriend Ariana Grande is devastated by his death, to the point that she’s shown no interest in leaving the house, and loved ones have begun to fear that she’s neglecting her health.
“She completely broke down after she found out about Mac,” a source told People of Grande’s state.
“She can’t believe he isn’t here anymore. He was such a special person to her. She is very, very sad.”
The insider concluded:
“This is a nightmare for her.”
While few were as close with Mac as Ariana was, millions felt a kinship with the rapper, largely due to the confessional, soul-baring nature of his work.
Though he never achieved the mainstream superstardom so many felt he deserved, Miller remains an icon in his hometown of Pittsburgh.
And last night, the city paid tribute to Mac with a candlelight vigil in Frick Park Blue Slide a location made famous as the title of Miller’s debut album.
“We would like to bring the city together in full force for this legendary icon,” read a Facebook post about the event, which was hosted by Nightfall Records.
“Mac deserves to be sent off with an evening of celebrating his life, discussing his struggles, and remembering his stories; most importantly for his iconic work that brought joy into the lives of everybody who listened,” the post continued.
“We are welcoming all artists to come and paint, create, draw, live tribute art for this event.”
On social media as well as in the physical world, many paying tribute to Miller say their intentions are twofold:
They wish to call attention to the music of an underappreciated talent, as well as to raise awareness of the struggles that led to Mac’s untimely passing, so that others might avoid the same fate.
We wish them luck in those endeavors, and our thoughts go out to all who have been affected by the passing of Mac Miller.
Mac Miller: Medical Examiner Says Cause of Death Is a Mystery ...
Last week, fans were stunned to learn that Mac Miller had passed away at the age of 26.
Though it was reported as an apparent drug overdose, police did not really find evidence of that when they searched the late rapper’s home.
And now his death certificate has come back … with no real answers for his fans and loved ones.
TMZ reports that the L.A. County medical examiner’s report has come back on Mac Miller, but it’s not giving people the closure that they seek.
Right now, Miller’s cause of death is “deferred.”
That means that the medical examiner is still unprepared to rule on his official cause of death.
Naturally, the office is awaiting the results of Miller’s toxicology panel. We imagine that they will leave no stone unturned as they test for substances.
Unfortunately, that may take a while. TMZ notes that toxicology results tend to take 4 to 6 weeks to come back.
So the world will have to wait until October, most likely, for confirmation of Miller’s cause of death and that much needed closure.
But issuing a death certificate before the toxicology results come back is no fool’s errand — it has a purpose.
TMZ notes that the release of this document means that Miller’s family can obtain the body and make plans to bury, cremate, or otherwise lay him to rest.
It also means that the medical examiner probably did not find anything suspicion during the examination — no odd fractures or ligature marks that might indicate that Miller’s death was merely staged to resemble an overdose.
While the toxicology results will hopefully bring the family a degree of closure, the certificate will allow them to honor his memory and his death.
As we mentioned, police searched Miller’s home, but did not find what you’d expect to see in the home of a man with a substance abuse problem.
Police found only a small amount of white powder, but did not find drugs, pill bottles, or drug paraphernalia.
Reaching the natural conclusion that Miller did not clean his house, then overdose, they came to believe that someone purged Miller’s home of all drugs before police had the chance to do a sweep.
It seems most likely that a well-intentioned friend of Miller’s hoped to avoid awkwardness or embarrassment for Miller’s family and memory.
But, in general, it’s best to let investigators see as much evidence as possible when someone has died.
Miller was last seen alive on the night of Thursday, Septeber 6. He had friends at his home.
He was scheduled for a video shoot on Friday, but was found unresponsive that day, resulting in a 9-1-1 call at around noon.
Emergency responders arrived, but pronounced him dead at the scene.
It is unclear exactly when he may have passed away, but so far, no one has come forward to claim that they saw him alive after Thursday night.
This is heartbreaking for his fans, his friends, and most of all, for his closest loved ones.
Unfortunately, some people had the sheer audacity to blame Ariana Grande for Mac Miller’s death.
These awful trolls claimed that if Ariana had simply continued to date him as some sort of human emotional support blanket, he would still be alive.
Ariana’s responsibility is to live her own life. She dated Miller for two years, but ultimately his substance abuse problems played a huge role in their breakup.
The fact that she moved on and found happiness with Pete Davidson does not in any way make her responsible for Miller’s death.
Miller wasn’t the victim of a breakup. He was the victim of addiction.

Mac Miller: Home Cleaned, Purged of All Drugs After Reported Overdose, Police Believe
On Friday, the world lost a great talent. Mac Miller passed away at 26 of an apparent drug overdose.
Police seem confident that Miller died of an overdose, but when they searched his home for drugs, they found almost nothing.
They believe that someone or several someone’s cleaned Miller’s home, removing all evidence of drug use, before they had a chance to investigate.
According to TMZ‘s law enforcement sources, Mac Miller’s home was swept for drugs, which were all removed in the immediate aftermath of Miller’s passing.
Police believe this for three reasons.
One, police were unable to find any drugs in the home of a man who is believed to have died from an overdose — a man who is known for substance abuse problems.
Two, police have apparently spoken to a number of people who were in Miller’s orbit, which apparently made them more certain that his home was “tidied.”
Three, they very reasonably have a hard time imagining that Miller removed all drugs from his home before his alleged overdose.
Not only did the police search fail to find drugs (for the most part), they also didn’t turn up any pill bottles or drug paraphernalia.
(Plenty of homes of people with no substance abuse problems have old pill bottles lying around at the back of a cabinet somewhere, so that’s definitely odd)
Apparently police did find a “tiny” amount of white powder.
It’s unknown who may have cleaned Miller’s home for him, though people were at his house on Thursday night as well as on Friday when someone called 9-1-1.
Police report that no one has said that they saw Miller alive after Thursday night.
It is entirely possible that someone thought that they were doing Miller or his loved ones a favor by scrubbing his house clean of evidence of his drug use.
For all that we know, he may have asked a friend to do just this if he ever overdosed.
Worst case scenario, however, he appears to have overdosed because of some flaw with the drugs in his possession, and someone took everything so that his death could not be traced to them.
We hope not, but that is precisely the reason that law enforcement needs to be able to look at all of the evidence when someone dies.
You might think that you’re doing someone a favor, but you may just leave their grieving loved ones with more questions and less closure.
Miller was found unresponsive in his Studio City home at around noon on Friday, September 7.
A friend called 9-1-1, asking for immediate assistance for a patient in cardiac arrest.
Tragically, Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical responders. He had been scheduled for a video shoot later that very day.
Miller’s history of substance abuse was no secret. Earlier this year, Mac Miller’s DUI hit-and-run resulted in his arrest.
Years ago, Miller opened up about his substance abuse issues through music, admitting to an addiction to a combination of promethazine and codeine known as “purple drank.”
Mac Miller’s death is absolutely tragic. Unfortunately, the narrative that immediately followed his passing has also been heartbreaking.
Awful trolls blamed Ariana Grande for his death.
Suggesting that she should never have broken up with him, or at least not found happiness when she moved on, people actually sought to fault his ex.
In reality, Miller’s substance abuse problem was a huge factor in Ariana’s decision to break up with him in the first place.
The right narrative is that it’s tragic for such a talented young man to die at 26.
Addiction is almost certainly to blame.
We hope that investigators, even working without all of the evidence that they might like, will be able to provide closure to Miller’s family, friends, and fans.

Ariana Grande Pays Moving Tribute to Mac Miller
Ariana Grande has broken her silence in response to Mac Miller’s shocking death.
In her own way, that is.
One day after Miller was found dead inside his home of a suspected overdose, the singer has acknowledged the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend.
Grande and Miller dated for about two years, breakng up in May, just a couple months before Miller would pass away.
According to sources at the time, the rapper substance abuse problem was a sigificant reason that Grande was forced to finally end the romance, as it had become highly toxic and unhealthy for her.
Because lots of people on the Internet are awful, some trolls attacked Grande on Instagram Friday evening because they:
- Blamed her for Miller’s overdose.
- Wondered why she had not yet commented on his passing.
Like we said, lots of people on the Internet are awful.
On Saturday afternoon, however, Grande did share the following photo of Miller on her official social media page:
She did not include a caption along with it.
Within an hour of going live, though, the black, white and sort of artistic image has garnered over 3.6 million Likes.
About a week after Miller and Grande split, the former was arrested for drunk driving after he got into a very serious car accident.
Grande responded by telling Mac to “Pls take care of yourself,” and she then clapped back hard at anyone who blamed her then as well for Miller’s personal issues.
“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” she tweeted this spring, adding:
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years. Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was.”
Miller was also in Manchester last year when a terrorist killed 22 people at one of Grande’s concerts.
These two had been through a lot prior to Mac’s death.
The day Grande and Miller broke up, Ariana wrote the following on Instagram:
Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet malcolm mccormick.
I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!
Unconditional love is not selfish.
It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it’s not you. I can’t wait to know and support you forever and i’m so proud of you!!
Elsewhere, another of Miller’s ex-girlfriends, Nomi Leasure, has spoken out on his death… and his life.
“So grateful we had our final moment. Our clarity, clearing of the air. You changed my life. I, yours. The residual effects of your passion ripple on. You are not gone. Not in the least.”
Leasure and Miller started dating in high school and broke up not long before he moved on wth Grande.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.
May Mac Miller rest in peace.

Celebrities React to Shocking Death of Mac Miller
The tragic news of rapper Mac Miller’s fatal OD on Friday afternoon has shocked the world, and celebrities’ tweets of grief and prayers have been pouring in. See some of the their reactions below. Praying for Mac’s family and that he rest…
Mac Miller Update: Family Releases Statement, Awful People Blame Ariana Grande for Rapper"s Death
As previously reported, tragedy has once again struck Hollywood.
Around noon on Friday, authorities, responding to a call from an unknown individual, arrived at the San Fernando Valley home of Mac Miller and found the rapper dead.
He was 26 years old.
As of this writing, the likely cause of death is a drug overdose.
The artist had been well known and respected across the music industry ever since his debut album in 2012… but he was perhaps better known of late for his long-term relationship with Ariana Grande.
This romance ended in May, with sources saying that Miller’s substance abuse issues played a significant role in Grande deciding it was time to part ways.
Just a week later, Miller was arrested for drunk driving.
Shortly afterward, in July, he an interview to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music in which he referred to himself as a “self-destructive depressed drug user.”
But he also assured fans at this time that he was doing okay and that he was “happy” for Grande, who he dated for two years.
Just over a month later, Miller is dead.
“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” his family said in a statement provided to multiple outlets.
“He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time
Elsewhere, Warner Bros. Records added the following:
“Mac was a hugely gifted and inspiring artist, with a pioneering spirit and sense of humor that touched everyone he met.
“Mac’s death is a devastating loss and cuts short a life and a talent of huge potential, where the possibilities felt limitless.”
The Los Angeles Fire Department has confirmed that first responders were dispatched Friday after an 11:42 a.m. call about a medical complaint at a residence in Studio City, California.
They did not transport anyone from the scene, making it safe to assume that Miller had passed away before they arrived.
“I just wanna go on tour,” Miller Tweeted on Thursday. “The show is going to be special every night. I wish it started tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, while music heavyweights mourn Miller’s passing (“Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him,” Tweeted Chance the Rapper), a handful of terrible trolls out there are blamng Grande for what has transpired.
They somehow think the singer is responsible for Miller’s addiction and for driving him to this fatal place due to their split.
In the wake of this tragedy and upon seeing what these awful people were writing on her Instagram page, Grande disabled Comments for a period of time.
She appears to have now turned them back on.
And if she is checking, we sincerely hope she sees that the supporters out there far, far, FAR outweight the misguided haters.
“The amount of tweets blaming Ariana Grande for what happened to Mac Miller is disgusting, his addiction and lack of help is what drove this to happen, don’t point the finger and blame,” wrote on fan.
And another chimed in as follows:
“Just noticed Ariana Grande disabled comments on her Instagram account after a barrage of Mac Miller-related comments. Recognize the true problem here, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat & continuing the cycle.
All so sad & nauseating.”
Following Mller’s aforementioned crash and DUI arrest, someone on the Internet dared to blame Grande for the rapper’s fate.
She wasn’t having it.
“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” clapped back the singer, adding:
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming / blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his s— together is a very major problem.”
That is oh so true.
And also so not the point right now.
A young man is dead at the age of 26.
It’s a tragedy.
This is especially the case when you consider what Miller said in a documentary a few years ago:
“I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can’t even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. You don’t go down in history because you overdose. You just die.”
May he rest in peace.

Athletes Remember Mac Miller
The death of Mac Miller has hit the sports world hard — with several notable athletes who were fans of his music paying tribute to the rapper Friday. Steelers superstar Le’Veon Bell — who had a strong connection with the Pittsburgh native –…
Mac Miller Dies; Rapper and Ex-Boyfriend of Ariana Grande Was 26
Shocking news out of the music world today, as TMZ reported moments ago that Mac Miller has passed away.
The widely-acclaimed hip hop artist, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, was just 26 years old.
Though details about Miller’s passing are scarce at the moment, TMZ is reporting that the cause of death appears to be a drug overdose.
Miller’s body was found at his home in San Fernando Valley after authorities were contacted by a friend of the rapper’s.
He was reportedly pronounced dead on the scene.
Though a respected figure on the hip hop scene since the release of his 2011 mixtape “Best Day Ever” and 2012 debut album, Blue Slide Park, Miller is perhaps best known for his romantic relationship with singer Ariana Grande.
Miller and Grande began dating in 2016.
The relationship was often described as a whirlwind romance, and the engagement rumors that circulated on multiple occasions were tellingly never denied by either party.
Miller dedicated his 2016 album The Divine Feminine to his then-girlfriend and stated in the press that Grande taught him to reflect on the important role that women had played in his life and development.
Sadly, in May of 2018, Grande and Miller broke up.
According to Grande, his substance abuse played a role in her decision to end the relationship.
Shortly after the split, Miller was arrested for a DUI hit and run after he crashed his G-Wagon and fled the scene on foot.
He was later apprehended at his home and blew twice the legal limit on a breathalyzer test.
When fans blamed Grande for the Miller’s downward spiral, she pushed back on social media.
“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” she tweeted.
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years.”
Grande added:
“Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was.”
According to TMZ, in the months following the breakup and Grande’s subsequent engagement to Pete Davidson, friends were instructed not to mention the situation in Miller’s presence.
Miller seems to have struggled with substance abuse his entire life, to the point that premature death was a subject that was often on his mind and one that he addressed frequently in his music.
He delved into great detail about his addiction to promethazine and codeine (a combination known as “purple drank”) on his 2014 album Faces.
Addressing his substance abuse issues in a 2012 interview, Miller had this to say:
“I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can’t even get out of his house.
“Overdosing is just not cool. You don’t go down in history because you overdose. You just die.”
A profile of Miller was published by Vulture on Thursday and contained this tragically illuminating quote about the rapper’s mindset in his final days:
“A lot of times in my life I’ve put this pressure to hold myself to the standard of whatever I thought I was supposed to be, or how I was supposed to be perceived.”
He added:
“And it creates pressure.”
Mac Miller was scheduled to begin a nationwide tour next month.
His final Instagram post features a portion of his song “So It Goes,” which features the lyrics:
“Nine lives, never, die, f-ck a heaven, I’m still gettin’ high.”
Our thoughts go out to Miller’s loved ones during this difficult time.

Ariana Grande DESTROYS Fan Who Claims She Cheated on Mac Miller!
In case you needed a reminder that Ariana Grande radiates Big Vagina Energy, look no further than how she claps back at trolls.
Ariana is engaged to Pete Davidson, but one fan blasted her for naming a new song after him — and accused her of having cheated on her ex.
She clapped back hard. Take a look!
Ariana Grande, like so many of us, is literally counting down the days until the release of her new album, Sweetener.
She shared the track list for that album, which includes a song named after her love.
Unfortunately, one rude-ass “fan” decided to troll Ariana in the comments with a nasty jab at her fiance.
The so-called fan wrote: “Pete davidson will be the song I skip all the time.”
Ariana clapped back: “Awwwww boo f–king hoo Alexa play ‘Pete Davidson."”
If you’re not familiar, the “Alexa play” meme — the punchline of which varies from song to song — was all the rage on the interwebs last month.
Unfortunately, the troll wasn’t done, and had the audacity to reply to Ariana’s clapback.
In this reply, the commenter accused Ariana of having cheated on Mac Miller with Pete Davidson.
“I didn’t but go off,” Ariana replied tersely.
Ariana’s retort continued with a request: “Can you like… go stan someone else? ur boring.”
(To stan someone is to aggressively support them, beyond the normal scope or enthusiasm of a regular fan)
We’ve heard this kind of cheating accusation malarkey before — because Ariana and Pete started dating so soon after their respective breakups.
Some people can’t wrap their heads around the speedy engagement and have decided that these two must have somehow been carrying on a secret affair.
(We’re pretty sure that speedy engagements can be explained by being young, in love, and having poor impulse control, but that’s none of our business)
Maybe cheating accusations aren’t as bad as the absurd claim that Ariana “caused” Mac Miller’s DUI hit-and-run, but it’s still crappy.
But we have a question about this commenter who stated that they would be skipping “Pete Davidson” on the album.
If you believe that Ariana cheated on Mac, wouldn’t you be skipping the entire dang album?
All of Sweetener is Ariana’s work, so if you think that she cheated and you also feel worked up about it, you’d probably skip every song.
Pete sounds like a bystander in that alleged situation, right?
It sounds like this trick-ass b–ch was just trying to elicit a reaction — any kind of reaction — from Ariana.
And it worked.
You know, we here at THG have our own takes on whether Ariana and Pete or Justin and Hailey will last longer in their engagements and actually make it down the aisle.
Between their obvious chemistry and Pete’s impressive dong, Ariana’s relationship seems a little more stable — and, for other reasons, a lot less shady.
But if you think that her engagement is doomed, you don’t have to tell her.
If you think that she was running around on Mac even though that’s totally out of character for her, you don’t have to tell her.
Being nice to people on the internet is actually 100% free, folks.

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’s not letting her battle with cancer slow her down … or keep her cooped up inside. The “Dance Moms” star got some fresh air outside her rehabilitation center on a hot summer day in L.A. Tuesday. She recently completed her fifth…

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?

Stephen Miller Owns the Libs By Throwing Out His Own Damn Dinner
In case you’ve somehow been blissfully unaware of his existence, allow us to fill you in on the newly-hatched-larva-turned-Trump-policy-advisor whos’s adopted the human name of Stephen Miller.
Miller is, to put it bluntly, the absolute worst.
As if you couldn’t tell from those soulless pits of suffering he calls eyes, Miller is the kind of guy whose lonely and humiliating teen years drove him to a life of supervillainy, but whose lack of intellect prevented him from going full-Thanos.
The MAGA crowd is torn on Miller.
On the plus side, he’s fully committed to the cause of evil.
(It’s Miller who’s said to be most responsible for the Trump administration’s decision to separate immigrant children from their families. One source claimed the 32-year-old “enjoys” seeing photos of kids in cages.)
But on the other hand, Miller’s rodent-like appearance and Woody Allen-like mannerisms are basically what the average irate Trump supporter sees when he closes his eyes and envisions a “cuck,” something he presumably does several dozen times a day.
So perhaps we can all put momentarily set aside our political differences (Ed. note: LOLOLOLOL) and share in a laugh over Lil Stevey’s recent unagi-related misfortune.
You see, Miller is the latest victim of the objectively awesome trend of regular citizens giving Trump staffers hell in public places.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant; Scott Pruitt caught heat from a sh-t-talking mom and then freakin’ resigned; Kellyanne Conway can’t walk down the street without passersby shouting Bible verses in hopes that she’ll explode into Stephen Miller …
As for Stephen Miller, well … he threw out $ 80 worth of sushi and then bragged about it for some reason.
Yes, according to a new feature in The Washington Post that details the various ways in which being a Trump staffer will justly ruin your life, Miller recently picked up a to-go order from a sushi restaurant near his apartment in D.C.
As he was leaving the establishment, Miller heard someone shout his name.
He turned to see a bartender from the restaurant hitting him with a pair of one-digit salutes.
Being a member of the most ultra-masculine, supremely-alpha administration in history, Miller naturally pulled a U-turn and swiftly kicked the guy’s ass.
Just kidding, he scurried back to his apartment and tossed the sushi in the trash.
Then for some reason, he told his co-workers about the incident the next day, presumably thinking he would receive a round of high-fives and even a seductive look from a comely intern.
Instead, Miller has once again assumed the role of national laughingstock, and he has no one to blame but himself.
At least when Trump wanted to exact revenge on the people who picked on him, he did something that made sense like stealing an election.
American democracy can be rebuilt, but once your California rolls hit this morning’s coffee grounds, they’re gone forever.
