Dance Moms<\/em><\/a> alum Holly Frazier<\/strong><\/a> is standing up for her daughter, Nia Sioux<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n After fellow Dance Moms<\/em> stars Christi Lukasiak<\/strong><\/a> and Kelly Hyland<\/strong><\/a> criticized Nia\u2019s new memoir, Bottom of the Pyramid: A Memoir of Persevering, Dancing for Myself, and Starring in My Own Life<\/em>, Holly shared a passionate TikTok message on Monday, November 3, defending her daughter and calling out critics for trying to discredit her story.<\/p>\n \u201cI am quiet because this is Nia\u2019s moment to shine, but I see you,\u201d Holly, 55, said in the clip. \u201cSome of you are being manipulative by trying to deflect the issue onto me. The issue is not me \u2026 Do not invalidate [Nia\u2019s] experience by trying to shift the blame on her mother. Shame on you. You should be embarrassed. That was an ignorant, low blow.\u201d<\/p>\n The mom of three made it clear that the responsibility for the mistreatment Nia allegedly faced on the show didn\u2019t fall on her shoulders. \u201cNo one was hired to be evil or cruel,\u201d she said. \u201cThe issues came from someone who did not do their job.\u201d<\/p>\n I am disengaging from anyone who has the wrong opinion. Buy Bottom of the Pyramid and support @NiaSioux \ud83d\udcda<\/p>\n\n
