How 'Dance Moms' may continue without Abby Lee Miller

The reality TV star said earlier this week that she's quitting the show.

— -- Shortly after "Dance Moms" choreographer Abby Lee Miller announced she was quitting the Lifetime reality series, a source from the TV network told ABC News they can continue without her.

Lifetime has not released an official statement about the status of the series.

Earlier this week, Miller, 50, announced that she was quitting "Dance Moms" due to disagreements with a producer. "Dance Moms," which focuses on Miller's relationships with her dancers and their parents, premiered in 2011.

"I don't have a problem working with any kid," the post continued, "I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people's children successful. I just have a problem with being manipulated, disrespected, and used day in and day out by men who never took a dance lesson in their lives and treat women like that."

The drama continues off-screen, too. Miller is awaiting sentencing in a fraud case for which she could face prison time, according to the Associated Press.
