The choreographer – who worked with dancers like JoJo Siwa, Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak, and their families – continued: “You couldn’t come to visit me for eight and a half months?
“You couldn’t send a card, a letter?"
Abby added that she helped turn these kids into “stars” and helped get them “on top of the world” and make a lot of money.
After putting in that time and work with the dancers and their families, she then, directing it at them in the interview, asked: “And you’re just going to dump me?"
She then decided: ”It’s not hurtful anymore, because you realize real quick who your friends are.”
Just a few weeks after being released from prison, Abby was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma.
The TV personality has been confined to a wheelchair since having to undergo spinal surgery during her cancer battle.
In October 2021, Abby told she was still struggling with her health.
“[During COVID I had] another surgery on my spine — my lumbar region that was the original problem years ago.
"And that’s why I went to that doctor because my leg was going numb when I was driving in all this LA traffic so I knew something was wrong,” Abby Lee said, revealing she had Spondylolisthesis that was getting “worse and worse.”
She opened up about going to "in-patient rehab," and following that, underwent restorative surgery.
Yet this hasn't stopped her choreography skills and Abby, assisted by her walker, showcased some fresh dance moves in an Instagram video earlier this year.
Abby began the video with her head down and raising her hands in the air.
She the looked straight down the camera lens as she continued the boogie, before announcing: "There's only one boss lady - and it's me.
"Thank you for watching."
In her image caption, she continued: "There’s only one #BossLady- thank you all for watching!"
Abby's routine to the song We On Top came after a tricky time for the star in January, when she sued a hotel she had stayed at.
Abby recently claimed a hefty hotel door pinned her wheelchair when in her hotel room.
The alleged incident occurred while the star was staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Santa Monica back in August 2020.
Abby has now filed a lawsuit for the physical and emotional damages she endured, according to .
The Lifetime alum is reportedly suing the hotel's parent corporation for negligence, emotional distress, discrimination and false imprisonment, seeking an $8.5 million payout.
The horrific accident happened when Abby alleged she got the wheel of her wheelchair stuck on the sliding bathroom door of her hotel room, as per documents obtained by the publication.
