“Dance Moms” star and Pittsburgh native Abby Lee Miller is being criticized for comments she recently made a podcast.
TMZ reports, on Sofia Franklyn’s “Sofia with an F” podcast, the 57-year-old Miller described her affinity for high school football players.
She was talking about Tom Cruise and the football movie “All the Right Moves” when she made the bizarre comment.

“High school football player . . . that’s my downfall, I like the high school football players, I still like them,” said Miller.
“Dance Moms” about Miller’s dance company in the Penn Hills area ran from 2011 through 2019.
Miller was convicted for federal fraud and spent a year and a day in prison.
Miller has a new show debuting later this month called “Mad House” about adult dancers competing to join her dance team.
Miller has been in a wheelchair after a rare form of cancer was in her spine, causing her to become paraplegic about four years ago.
She sold the famed Penn Hills dance studio along Saltsburg Road for $300,000 last December.
