Best known for starring in the original Dance Moms reality series (under the very controversial Abby Lee Miller), Nia Sioux has become one of the most engaging creators on social media.
And while her relationship with her former dance teacher is currently "non-existent," Nia is finally ready to tell her side of the story with her new memoir, Bottom of the Pyramid.
"I came to terms with what people would think about me telling story and sharing my experiences. I am not particularly worried that I might upset people or lose friendships. Some people might not like what I am going to say," she told Distractify exclusively. "I have come to terms with that, and I have the courage to share my truth. Ultimately it is my story to tell, and I don’t need anyone’s permission."
Along with her story, Nia also shared some fun facts about herself with Distractify.
