The Dance Moms Star’s Suit Is Connected To A 2020 Surgery
Miller is a dance instructor, choreographer, and founder of the Abby Lee Dance Company. Many fans were introduced to her through the reality series, Dance Moms.
The series, which aired on Lifetime, followed children involved with show business under Miller’s training. As the name suggests, the series explored the relationship with Miller, the dancers, and their mothers. The series originally ran from 2011 to 2019. In addition, Miller has also appeared on spin-offs of the show and has served as a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars.
Recently, Miller made headlines for a medical lawsuit. According to TMZ, the Dance Moms star is suing a Los Angeles hospital over malpractice concerning a 2020 spinal surgery.
Miller allegedly claims that a foreign object was left in her body during the surgery. The suit is against the hospital involved, Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital, and two doctors.
The surgery originally appeared to be successful. However, Miller claimed she began suffering from abdominal pain. She reportedly shared the issue with various medical professionals, including the two doctors involved with her previous surgery.
According to Miller’s complaints, her concerns were initially ignored until one of her doctors performed a CT scan. Afterward, it came to light that a “retained catheter” was left inside her body following the procedure.
A Spokesperson For Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital Has Also Released A Statement Over The Suit
According to the publication, Miller is suing for “medical negligence, professional negligence, medical battery,” and other charges. She is reportedly asking for at least $1.4 million.
Miller has seen a variety of doctors in recent years. This is due to a battle with Burkitt lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease has impacted Miller’s ability to walk and she has been using a wheelchair for mobility.

A Cedars-Sinai spokesperson also spoke with the publication, issuing the following statement: “Cedars-Sinai cannot comment on pending legal matters. Also, due to federal and state privacy laws, Cedars-Sinai cannot discuss any patient’s medical treatment.”
The statement continued, “However, the care and safety of our patients, staff and visitors are always Cedars-Sinai’s top priorities. We are dedicated to ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care for all those we serve.”
In a statement with Daily Mail, Miller also spoke with the publication concerning her health issues. As the publication claimed, Miller used a wheelchair for six years even after being declared cancer-free.
Miller shared, “I think that I have a lot to do, and I hope when it is my time to go, it will matter that I was. I have a lot more choreography, I have a lot more kids to teach, I have a lot more social awareness about being in a chair.”
