The Dance Moms reunion Seeing Red finally hit the air waves and it definitely lived up to the hype. Blood was in the air, as old wounds ripped open and all the moms took Abby Lee Miller to task for favoritism.

Does Dance Mom's "Seeing Red" Live Up To The Hype?

Condolences were, of course, first offered to Abby about her recently passed mother, Maryen Lorrain - a former dance coach herself who lost her battle with cancer. But then the catfight begins, as noted by BuddyTV Tuesday.

As soon as dance mom Christi Lukasiak entered, the heat turned up. She admitted to bonding more with Jill Vertes and Holly Frazier since they had all experienced Abby's insanity. Christi wanted to know why Abby treated her 12-year-old daughter Chloe so badly as well.

Getting more gall and gumption since she had nothing to loose, things turned to Abby's favorite dancer, Maddie Ziegler. Christi asserted that Kalani Hiliker could beat Maddie any day -- so why hasn't she gone up against Maddie? When Abby answered, Christi straight up called her a liar. Not too much later, Christi walked out, telling production "I'm done! I am done!" 

Dance moms Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni, Jill and Holly joined in. As the battle raged on, Abby yelled that she decides who dances! To underscore that point, when discussion turned to why Holly's baby Nia was pulled from the Bollywood number, Abby shuttered any responsibility about goofing on the costumes. Then she threatened to pull all of Nia's solos. (Throughout the season Abby hasn't thought Nia was up to snuff).

After Abby called Leslie Ackerman "crazy" and the "Energizer Bunny," she joined in saying she paid good and well for these lessons and was tired of being offered a "carrot."  Then she speaks the truth, calling Abby "abusive".  Amen.

Then (save the best for last, of course) the big bad wolf entered, Abby's rival Cathy Nesbitt-Stein of Candy Apples Dance Center. Abby's take on her rival: "She's like the candy apple that turned into the pissy prune!" Name calling immediately ensued. "No talent!" "Pompous!" "A joke!". Cathy bit back by comparing some of Abby's choreography to synchronized swimming - elementary faire.

On a lighter note, the ALDC girls performed several numbers including, Broadway-inspired Kinky Boots and The Witches of East Canton.

Dance Moms reunion continues next Tuesday at 9 p.m. on Lifetime with a special episode called No Moms Allowed - featuring, you guessed it, just the girls. Thank goodness. According to an earlier Enstars report, Christi told a fan at a meet and greet: "I am excited about this.... It's all about the girls."
