Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller Surrenders To Serve Prison Sentence
Miss Abby will be spending a lot of time behind bars.
Entertainment Tonight reports that Abby Lee Miller has surrendered to serve her 366-day sentence at the FCI Victorville facility in Victorville, Calif. The former Dance Moms star arrived at the prison in a dark suburban at 12:05 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12, 2017—hours ahead of her 2 p.m. deadline.
ET notes that Lifetime cameras followed the 50-year-old in, reportedly going as far into the prison as they were able. Just days earlier, Miller told ET that she didn't care about the cameras being there—the network did. "It wasn't important to me, it was important to them," she explained. "I signed a four-year contract."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Miller was sentenced to time in prison after being found guilty on fraud charges. She was ordered to spend one year and one day in prison as well as pay a $40,000 fine and a $120,000 judgement.
Discussing her prison sentence months earlier, Miller shared exactly how she plans on dealing with the experience. "I'm just going to pretend we're shooting a movie and we're on set and I'm there for 10 months, and that's the way it's going to be," she told Good Morning America at the time.
See you in a year, Abby.
