Transcript

00:00 Don't have an attitude that you are entitled in this world.

00:03 JoJo, I kind of have to put you in the hot seat

00:05 because you're saying a special.

00:07 Abby was always right.

00:08 Look for me, she was.

00:10 You deserve nothing else.

00:13 You earn it.

00:14 That is true.

00:15 You are not entitled to anything in this world.

00:17 You do have to work hard for it and you do have to earn it.

00:20 With me and my journey,

00:21 she was, at the end of the day, always right.

00:24 Abby may have been right,

00:25 but nearly a decade later,

00:26 that doesn't make it any easier to watch

00:29 for JoJo and other fan favorites,

00:31 Paige and Brooke Hyland,

00:32 Kalani Hilliker,

00:33 Kendall Vertes,

00:34 and Khloe Lukasiak.

00:36 When Lifetime approached you all to do this reunion,

00:38 what was your first reaction?

00:40 I said no because it just didn't feel right.

00:43 I've spent so many years trying to

00:45 kind of leave that in the past.

00:48 Nice job, Khloe!

00:50 Huh?

00:51 I think when you're that young,

00:52 you're really vulnerable

00:53 and you absorb everything that people tell you,

00:55 but I can say now I'm in a better place

00:57 than I've ever been.

00:58 Abby was not invited to take part

01:00 in the two-hour reunion,

01:01 but many of the reality shows,

01:02 most over-the-top brawls and meltdowns,

01:05 will be relived.

01:06 Get your finger out of my face!

01:09 The Hyland sisters haven't spoken to Abby Lee

01:11 since that explosive fight with her mom in 2014.

01:14 What message would you all like to send Abby Lee?

01:18 Do you regret that altercation?

01:20 I feel like that fight took it to another level.

01:22 Dance Moms The Reunion airs Wednesday on Lifetime,

01:25 notably missing Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler,

01:28 who turned down the invitation,

01:29 saying, "We didn't want to go back in time to that era."

01:33 Them not being here is kind of like,

01:34 let me erase my past, pretend it never happened,

01:36 shove it down the drain,

01:37 when it's like, that's why you are who you are.

01:40 It shaped us into who we are today.

01:42 Why be upset when you can be grateful?

01:44 (cymbal crashing)
