Abby Lee Miller shares first photo from jail

Cape Town – Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller has given her fans a glimpse into her life behind bars. 

In May 2017 the reality star was sentenced to year and a day in prison for bankruptcy fraud and for taking $120 000 worth of Australian currency into the country without reporting it. (Read more here)

Abby began her sentence on 12 July 2017 at the Federal Correctional Complex in Victorville, California.

On Sunday Abby shared a picture of herself with some visitors on Instagram with a lengthy message.

"Sometimes in life you make mistakes. I trusted the wrong people and didn't pay any attention to things I should of. I'm more than sorry for the mistakes I have made. My world flipped upside down when I had to enter prison. I did so with grace."

She continues: "The stories you read about me been [sic] a princess are untrue. I have made friends with both inmates and staff, I've tried to better myself, participated in anything offered to me and I am a better person for this experience."

Abby also addressed the rumour that she would get an early release. 

"All the press stories and speculation are not entirely correct. However, I am feeling hopeful, but no dates have been confirmed at this time. I am feeling great and ready to turn over a new leaf thank you so much to everyone for your support especially my nearest and dearest I love you all (and yes this is me in prison ) #abbyleemiller #abbylee #dancemoms #dance #aldc."

Deadline reported that Abby might be released from jail in February for good behaviour after serving less than half her sentence.
