Abby’s Virtual Dance Offcontestant Adriana Smith, EW has confirmed.spin-off where the professional choreographer would feature dancers from around the country who submitted videos of their best moves,was previously expected to air this summer. In addition, Miller won't be returning toMiller posted a Blackout Tuesday square on Instagram to show solidarity with protesters of racism and police brutality.
Smith also noted her daughter overheard Miller saying, "The only reason [Kamryn was] here" was for "a sprinkle of color." As a result, Smith said she pulled her daughter out of the show due to Miller's behavior. "People need to be held accountable not just for the injustices [but also] for being a closet racist," she wrote. "This is nothing new to me. But what I'm not going to have happen is have this racist person have any part of my daughter's life."
On Thursday, Miller apologized to Smith and her daughter. "I genuinely understand and deeply regret how my words have effected and hurt those around me in the past, particularly those in the Black community," she wrote. "To Kamryn, Adriana, and anyone else I've hurt, I am truly sorry. I realize that racism can come not just from hate, but also from ignorance. No matter the cause, it is harmful, and it is my fault.
Smith then replied in a statement to EW that she did "not accept Abby’s apology because her apology was not sincere. At this point, this is bigger than me and Kamryn. It’s about the potential effect that she has on the future of dance and negative, stereotypical influences on young, aspiring dancers of color. I firmly believe that if Abby was truly sorry, she would have apologized a year ago when she exposed my then 7-year-old daughter to her first account of racism.
