Why is melissa suing the dance moms

Mackenzie's legal team says, "This is a frivolous lawsuit, which we intend to prove in a court of law. This is yet another example of a production company taking advantage of a young rising star. Former " Dance Moms " star Mackenzie Ziegler is two-timing a music producer by bailing on performances and record sessions, and working with another producer on the side Kismet Music is going after year-old Mackenzie and her mom, Melissa Gisoni In the docs, Kismet says when it signed Mackenzie -- who has more than a million YouTube followers -- she agreed to "deliver technically and commercially satisfactory records.

The producers say Mackenzie and her mom didn't seem to have any issues with the contract when they were cashing checks associated with music released under the deal -- but in something changed. According to the suit, Mackenzie started skipping recording sessions and meetings -- and when Kismet tried to contact her, at least 14 times Maddie Ziegler 's kid sister is also working with another producer, a clear violation of her exclusivity deal with Kismet But it turns out that Gisoni never actually sued her fellow castmates or even threatened to sue them.

In an interview with ET Online , Gisoni revealed that the Dance Moms producers were the ones who concocted that storyline. It was the producers who sent a letter to the other mothers and made it seem like it had come directly from Gisoni.

Which is why, when the mothers confronted her about it, she maintained that she never sent a letter. There was plenty of speculation that Maddie was leaving the cast of Dance Moms prior to Gisoni making the official announcement on the show.

As she and Mackenzie were having to turn down more and more exciting opportunities for the show, many speculated that it was doing more harm than good for their careers. However, in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight , the former reality TV star finally revealed exactly why she Maddie, and Mackenzie, left Dance Moms. We can definitely understand why Maddie and Mackenzie wanted to leave such a toxic environment.
