Abby Lee Miller Guilty Plea — ‘Dance Moms’ Star Busted By Fame!

"Dance Moms" star Abby Lee Miller has pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud and international smuggling — in addition to allegedly having employees smuggle $120,000 worth of Australian money into the U.S.A. Now she's facing up to 30 months in prions when her sentencing comes due on October 11. And The National ENQUIRER had the scoop on how Abby can blame it all on fame!

The ENQUIRER reported the inside story when Abby was indicted in October 2015 on charges of hiding more than $755,000 from a bankruptcy court. The 50-year-old dance instructor from Pittsburg, Pa., was indicted and faced several years behind bars — as spies revealed that the Lifetime network was considering canceling her hit show. 

Abby was originally indicted on 20 counts of bankruptcy fraud, concealment of bankruptcy assets, and false bankruptcy declarations. Authorities said she hid the income she earned from 2012 and 2013 from her show and several spinoffs.

In a tragic twist of fame, The ENQUIRER learned that Abby's success triggered her dancing downfall! The judge overseeing her case saw her on "Dance Moms" and began following the fortunes of the Abby Lee Dance Company. Alarmed, the judge called a hearing in February of 2013 — and told Abby to "disclose all her earnings," a source said.

But the government claims that Abby still tried to hide her income from the show. "She's going from having her kids on 'The View' to teaching the two-step to inmates," said an insider.
