Abby Lee Miller of "Dance Moms" could have her time in jail for two and a half years after pleading guilty in attempt to hide $775,000 of her income during the proceedings after a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2010. She also failed to report $120,000 AUD that she illegally brought into the country.

The "Dance Moms" reality star said that she has been trying to stay positive amidst the controversy she is facing and even joked that she may need a few months of holidays although she is well aware the seriousness of the situation. "I know I made some mistakes along the way, but I've plead to all those," she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

She went on to say that while there are many odd and unanswered questions, she positively believes that everything will turn out well in the near future. Moreover, Miller had been facing financial issues even before "Dance Moms" reality series went off, according to a source of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania.

The source told People that there were sheriffs coming to the studio (Abby Lee Dance Company) telling them that the studio will be shut down because of the unpaid taxes. The "Dance Moms" reality star admitted in her 2010 bankruptcy filing that she has $400,000 worth of taxes that she didn't pay, which her lawyer Robert J. Ridge confirmed that the studio was set to be sold for unpaid taxes.

Reports say that Miller has a total of 20 bankruptcy fraud allegations. In a Facebook page of "Dance Moms," fans have shown concern and support to the popular dance instructor despite the fact that she has been really strict and firm.

Nevertheless, fans are still hoping that Miller will only spend a minimum time in jail. Her upcoming sentencing is set for Feb. 24 and her lawyers have already asked for probation from the judge.
