Reality TV fans on TikTok are conversing after former Bring It! star Rittany Anderson publicly responded to Nia Sioux Frazier’s new memoir, Bottom of the Pyramid, in which the former Dance Moms star opens up about the trauma, racism, and emotional toll she faced both on and off camera growing up.
In a new video, Rittany makes it clear she supports Nia sharing her story — but she also raises questions that have fans divided.
“I 100% support. She talks about her trauma from reality TV… but something I could never talk about was trauma that Crystianna went through,” Rittany admits.
Rittany, who appeared on Lifetime’s Bring It! with niece Crystianna Summers, connected Nia’s experiences to challenges she witnessed firsthand in the same network ecosystem. But where the conversation turned sharper was when she questioned the role of Nia’s mother, Dr. Holly Frazier, during those years.
“I get that she blames a lot of it on Abby, but a lot of it I gotta ask, where was Holly? Why did YOU allow someone to treat your child like that?” Rittany asked.
Rittany went on to say that contracts weren't an excuse, explaining that she often walked away from filming whenever she felt something crossed the line:
“This has nothing to do with contracts… Anytime Lifetime did something I didn’t like, I walked off. So why you never took your child? I think some accountability needs to be held there.”
She also noted that the Fraziers appeared financially secure and pointed to Nia’s claim that she wasn’t making money during filming.
Rittany continues, "...so it wasn't for the money. So why did you let your child endure so much pain? Y’all know Auntie could never!”
The comments section both echos her sentiment and alternatively claims that the reason Holly kept Nia there is addressed in the book.
Regardless of where fans fall, one thing is clear: Nia’s memoir is reopening long-standing conversations about the darker side of child-centered reality TV as well as racism on reality TV, and Rittany’s commentary has only amplified the discussion.
