After years of staying away from the cameras, Rittany Anderson finally made her debut on BTV’s Encore, and baby—she didn’t come for a cameo, she came for closure (with a side of shade).
Though she was rumored to have been asked to join the show from the start, Rittany said “no thanks” to the drama, until now. But during her sit-down with Mimi Harris, it became clear the past is still very much the present.
She opened up about her long-standing hurt toward Dianna Williams, revealing that even back in 2015, when Crystianna’s father passed away, Dianna never called. Yes, that’s right—Crystianna was still dancing for the Dolls, and Dianna, according to Rittany, didn’t so much as check in. “I wasn't just a parent, I was family..." Rittany said.
"When that happened, it built something in me. Well, that broke what I thought was a friendship. That broke up whatever love I had for Dianna," she continues as Mimi nods in agreement.
But it didn’t stop there.
Rittany also addressed the now-infamous livestream where she called out Dianna’s alleged toxicity—and let’s be honest, torched her on Instagram Live. The most controversial part? The gay slur she used toward Dianna’s son, Cobe.
“I owe Cobe an apology—not Dianna,” Rittany said. “He got caught in the crossfire. I hope he goes to the NFL.” It was a rare moment of softness… quickly followed by a firm wall: “But I still don’t owe her anything.”
She says the situation is in the past, and while she might be open to a sit-down with Dianna, Tina, and Mimi, don’t expect a group hug. Rittany seems more focused on making peace with herself than making peace with her former dance coach.
First time on Encore and already trending? That’s what you call impact.
Dianna has not yet responded to Rittany's comments.
