00:00 What message would you all like to send Abby Lee, if anything at all?

00:05 I mean, I still don't know.

00:07 You still don't talk to her?

00:09 I think that everybody's experience with her is very different.

00:12 I know for me, I would not be sitting in this chair, I would not have the career I have if it wasn't for Abby.

00:18 She really rooted for me and got me to where I'm at, so I will always thank her and be grateful.

00:26 Do I agree with everything she's done to me, my family, my friends?

00:30 Absolutely not.

00:32 I've told her that before to her face.

00:34 I don't agree with half the things you've done, and I think everybody deserves an apology.

00:39 But I'm able to move on and move past it and take the good from the bad.

00:46 And realize that I wouldn't be sitting in this chair and wouldn't have met all my friends.

00:51 I wouldn't have these relationships.

00:53 You'd have a very different life.

00:55 You just have to be grateful for what it is.

00:58 Kendall, JoJo, are you in touch with her still?

01:01 I would say, "How's your Thursday going?"

01:04 I am, especially with Karma coming out.

01:06 She's been very supportive, very talkative with me, very proud of you.

01:11 I feel like when I left the show, there was a year that we didn't really talk.

01:15 But then after that, we're chillin'.

01:18 Kendall?

01:19 I would just say thank you for giving me the thick skin that I have today.

01:23 She has made me such a tough person without even knowing it, with all of her criticism.

01:28 And I can handle any situation now.

01:31 I can handle the haters on Instagram, and I can handle getting turned away from a job.

01:36 Because I can now carry myself and just move on and not dwell on it.

01:40 Because you had the ultimate hater for a period.

01:42 We all had the ultimate hater.

01:44 Oh my goodness.

01:45 Bad or otherwise.

01:46 So the thick skin, definitely.

01:48 Was there an adjustment period for y'all after the cameras went off, after the original series came to an end?

01:53 Where you were like, "What do I do with my life now?"

01:56 100%.

01:57 Yeah.

01:58 It was so intense.

01:59 When I left, I was like, "How do I function?"

02:02 We were so busy all the time.

02:04 I was like, "Oh my gosh, I don't want to do anything."

02:06 I was just going to regular football games.

02:08 I actually ended up doing volleyball, but I was so focused on just being a regular kid.

02:12 Stuff that we missed out on because we were so focused on dance.

02:16 Yeah.

02:17 Get to live your life as a kid.

02:18 Yes.

02:19 Y'all seem so close to your mothers still.

02:22 Oh yeah.

02:23 Do you think Dance Moms brought you closer together?

02:26 It actually was just the legit amount of physical time that we spent with our mom.

02:31 My mom and I, we lived in LA.

02:33 We lived in a one bedroom apartment when we were filming Dance Moms.

02:36 We slept in the same bed for four years.

02:39 And just the car rides together.

02:41 They didn't get to see their husbands.

02:42 We didn't get to see our dads, our siblings.

02:44 Siblings.

02:45 All we did was spend time with our parents.

02:47 And we only had each other.

02:48 Wow.

02:49 Yeah.

02:50 That's the one person, I mean we could all count on each other, but blood, that's the

02:53 person you count on through this whole experience.

02:56 So I do think that I would have always been close with my mom whether I was on the show

03:00 or not.

03:01 Right.

03:02 But going through something like that.

03:03 You have a bond.

03:04 You have a bond.

03:05 It's like the same with us.

03:06 We are all so close and we have a bond together that nobody could break or understand unless

03:11 you're a part of it.

03:13 And it's the same thing with our moms.

03:14 I think that when you go through something like that and you watch your mom constantly

03:18 fight for you, you know, you're grateful.

03:20 But then also you're like going through puberty and you're like an annoying teenager.

03:23 So many feelings.

03:26 Yeah.

03:27 Like any normal teenager though.

03:28 Yeah.

03:29 We were definitely all, I'm sure we were all very rollercoaster.

03:31 Very rollercoaster-y with our moms.

03:32 Who isn't?

03:33 All of us.

03:34 Especially a crazy dance mom.

03:35 Don't mess with a crazy dance mom.

03:37 We all have a little bit of it.

03:40 Yeah.

03:41 We all have a little bit of it.

03:42 Yeah.

03:43 We all have a little bit of it.

03:43 (whooshing)
