Racist Controversies Surrounding Abigale Lee Miler
The reason was abruptly cut off was due to Abby Miller’s racist controversy. Lifetime ended their contract with Miller after Season 8 contestant Kamryn’s mother (Adriana Smith) accused Miller of her racist comments.
Apparently, Kamryn had overheard Miller discussing how Kamryn was on the show because they needed someone “of color.” This infuriated fans and everybody attached, and hence, it almost got the show canceled. (And so did Abby!)
