Lifetime banning Miller from returning to the reunion show is the second time as of late that the dance coach has found herself at the bottom of the pyramid.
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Miller had a scouting event at a Texas high school canceled by the district in September after she bizarrely admitted to finding high school football players attractive.
At the time, Miller faced backlash for confessing young athletes were her "downfall" during an interview on the Sofia with an F podcast — and then doubled down on her controversial remarks. Miller made the comment while chatting about Tom Cruise's 1983 flick All the Right Moves.
The podcast host asked the reality TV star if she had seen the film, in which Cruise portrays a "high school football player."
"Oh, that's my downfall. I like the high school football players," Miller admitted. "I still like them."
While the host noted that she preferred the adult "coaches," Miller continued to comment on high school aged athletes.
"Not one that used to be in high school but one that is," she noted about her attraction.
Dance Moms fans — and school districts — rightfully found Miller's comments disturbing.
Amid backlash over her bizarre comments, RadarOnline.com discovered Miller's September 23 scouting event at Summit High in Arlington, Texas, was canceled.
A spokesperson for Mansfield Independent School District said in a statement, "The facility use agreement for Ms. Miller’s event had not been approved by Mansfield ISD. The district will not be moving forward with approval, and the event will not take place at an MISD facility."
