The drama kicked off immediately in the Mad House Season 2 premiere, and Abby Lee Miller wasted no time stirring the pot. After an intense first day of dance challenges, Abby invited the houseguests to dinner, where she went down the line, asking each dancer how they thought the day went.
Newcomer Claudia Song—one of the youngest dancers in the house—was up first, but Abby didn’t even use her name, referring to her as the "girl in red." Off to a great start, right?
Claudia gave a polite but shady answer, saying, "I thought it was fun. I liked it. I think it was interesting to do… leaps and kicks to a hip-hop song." The last part was clearly a dig at fellow newcomer Carly Katz, who had stepped up and choreographed most of the routine.
The camera immediately cut to Carly, setting the stage for some tension.
"But I think we made it work," Claudia added.
Abby, always one to challenge confidence, shot back, "'We?'"
"We," Claudia repeated, standing firm.
Then came the dagger. Abby asked, "How much did you contribute to the choreography?" Already knowing the answer was next to nothing.
Cue giggles from returning dancers Savoy Bailey and Devin Crews as Claudia’s jaw dropped in shock. Looking around at her castmates, she clearly wasn't expecting to be put on blast.
Abby turned to the group, pressing, "How much did she contribute?"
After a tense silence, the dancers hesitantly responded with "nothing," while Devin took a sip of his drink and added, "Not much, to be honest."
Claudia, clearly frustrated, clapped back, "I don’t think every other person did either." And honestly, she had a point.
Abby conveniently brushed that off, saying, "Let’s worry about ourselves"—which, let’s be real, was hypocritical, considering she just asked everyone else for their opinions on her. Claudia smiled and nodded, but the frustration was written all over her face.
The Mad House Social Media Fallout
After Brandon TV posted the clip online, Claudia didn’t hold back, commenting, "Set up if you ask me," implying that Abby and the OGs (Savoy and Devin) had orchestrated the moment to make her look bad.
Fellow newcomer Daylen had her back, commenting, "Clock it."
Was this all part of Abby’s signature tough-love teaching style, or was Claudia intentionally put in the hot seat for a dramatic reality TV moment? Either way, Mad House Season 2 is already delivering the drama, and it’s only the first episode.
