Burke's hiring comes just days after Abby Lee Miller shockingly quit the show. Earlier this week, Abby ranted on Instagram, claiming, "I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS. FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING - TO NO AVAIL!”

In response to Burke joining the show, Abby told People magazine Wednesday, "I just know they're going to treat her a hell of a lot better than they treated me, for now. Give her six years, they'll talk to her like she's dirt, too. I think bringing in a stranger that has a résumé is going to be so much more important to them than me [and] the people that have been there for seven years, day in and day out, working our butts off. She'll get all the perks and we'll get all the jerks.”
As for her return to the Lifetime show in the future, Abby said, "Never say never.” Amidst all the drama, she was still able to smile for the cameras where/an event? in Los Angeles.
