welcome back to my series Dance Moms uncovered this week's episode is based on none other than the Wicked Witch of the West Cathy Nesbit Stein I have found evidence online which proves that Cathy wasn't actually as mean or crazy as she seemed on the show when she left the ALDC she appeared to be willing to do anything possible to beat Abby even hiring choreographers and recruiting dancers from all across the country well let's just say that there's more to Cathy than the producers care to show feel free to share your thoughts on the following evidence my first piece of evidence today is the bean costume in season 1 Cathy's daughter vivianne is given the infamous be solely to perform and Cathy doesn't seem very pleased with this number later on in season 2 Abby goes into the candy apples dressing room and asks Cathy for the costume back Abby and the moms are shocked when Cathy tells them that she donated the costume to the Goodwill [Music] the ugly bee costume that Vinnie wore [Music] bill me in reality this was all a complete like happy made-up to create drama there's a clip online from the Rosie show where Kathy returns the bee costume to a bee is this the bee costume that you thought was so hideous for 50 Cent's it was never it was never at the goodwill this was always in my walk-in closet wrapped in tissue paper so you know I know a bee vivy looked adorable in it she did as you can tell from this clip Kathy doesn't actually hold a grudge against a bee episode oh and she even admitted that it was adorable evidence number two of dressing room shenanigans in every episode where the ALDC competes against the candy apples Kathy inevitably ends up in the ALDC dressing room while it seems really rude of her to barge in on their personal space in reality the ALDC dressing room is guarded by security guards during the competitions this is so that crazy fans can't just walk into the ALDC dressing room these guards aren't just around the competitions either you can see them get involved in several scenes when the fighting gets too heated but of course the security guards let Cathy into the dressing room all the time because she's a fellow cast member and she's there to create extra drama this seems to me like Kathy is always sent to the ALDC dressing room by the producers number three Cathy's acting background in a couple of different interviews cathy has stated that she sees her role on Dance Moms as a performance she sees her character on the show as merely an acting role and she fully embraces it [Music] unfortunately she still receives a lot of criticism for her behavior even though she has tried to explain that she has a performance background and plays things up for the show even Kristy has confirmed that Cathy does this in [Music] [Music] evidence number four Cathy didn't force me to dance how many times have you seen people commenting that Cathy should just give up on forcing Vivi to dance because she clearly doesn't want to be better well in the clip online Cathy reveals that vivvy only dances three days a week and that if if he wanted to she would obviously let her try out for softball she comes to me and says she wants to play softball which I know for you is like the worst fear in the world right but if you know what if Charlie if he wants to play softball we'll go to the softball coach and say you know if it doesn't interfere with dance rehearsal if he likes dance as much as some of the other girls yeah I do think that vivvy likes dance and I don't think that you see that and Vivien's very happy when she's at candy apples she goes Monday Wednesday and Friday so I mean she's there three days a week and she has a ball this suggests that Cathy is not actually the pushing role she seems to be on TV in fact dancing three days a week is a lot less than the a the girls were forced to dance more recently vivy seems to have developed a passion for tap dancing there are clips all over Cathy's Instagram of Effie tapping and she seems to really enjoy it my last piece of evidence has to do with Kathy's contract when I do my research for these episodes it seems like the lifetime contracts are the cause of everyone's problems Kathy has revealed that she tried to get off the show in season one and even hide three lawyers to try and escape but there was no way to back out Kathy has admitted that she has done everything in her power to keep living off the show as often as possible unfortunately it seems like the producers forced Billy to be put in doubt since without the students even though they were significantly older than Kathy has been viewed as the show's villain for years and she has received tons of hate from fans who believe that her performance is how she really behaves when the cameras aren't rolling I think more people need to know about this evidence because the criticism has gotten so bad over the years that kathy has had to make her Twitter private Kathy has even received voicemails and messages telling her to leave Addie alone kind of in my hürmüz she made the best of her situation and even though she was trapped in the show still had so much fun with it so what do you guys is Cathy really a victim here or was her behavior still inexcusable let me know in the comments below thanks for watching and I'll see you next time bye
