Dance Moms’ Abby Lee Miller chokes back tears as she reveals how she nearly died after….see more
Abby Lee Miller has bravely opened up for the first time about the terrifying moment she nearly died after contracting sepsis from a UTI this summer.
The 59-year-old Dance Moms star was left screaming in excruciating pain when her catheter dislodged just days after she wrapped her Abby Lee Spills the Tea tour in the UK back in July.
Speaking to DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview, the brash TV personality recalled how she was rushed to a London hospital and spent four days in the ICU.
Abby Lee – who remains in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – said she was made to wait more than five hours on a bed in the emergency room before panicked doctors realized the severity of the situation.
‘I was at the end of my tour,’ she said. ‘We started at the Dance World Cup in Prague. I taught 13 classes and there were 9,500 kids there. From there we went to Scotland and then to Liverpool and then to London.
I was leaving town the next day and I started having trouble with my catheter. It just needed to be changed. Every month I need to get it changed. I had a nurse with me, and she didn’t feel comfortable doing it in the room. I don’t know why, people do it all the time.
‘So, I held off for a day which was a mistake. Then my back started hurting and my kidneys. I was screaming in pain. My two assistants called the paramedics, and the paramedics came and they took me to the Emergency Department.’
Poking at the overstretched NHS, she continued: ‘With the wonderful free health care there – it happens in every emergency room – I laid in the emergency room for five-and-a-half hours waiting for someone to change the catheter. I became sepsis, and it happened in my kidneys.’
She told DailyMail.com that she didn’t understand the severity of her own situation at the beginning.
‘They kept screaming my name: “Abigail, Abigail, Abigail,”‘ she said. ‘I was like, “I am right here. Stop screaming.”
‘They were asking me questions and I was making fun of them. I was like “why are we discussing this I just need my catheter changed? Can you get me out of here?”’
‘I was supposed to be flying home the next day,’ she added. ‘I was in the intensive care unit for four days.’
The dance choreographer gave harrowing details about the painful procedures she endured while in the undisclosed London hospital, including having multiple IV lines in her arms and neck.
‘They took me to another department, and they had me turning my head this way looking to my left,’ she said. ‘They kept saying, “Look at the screen, look at the screen.”
‘I would look at the screen and it was a sonogram. The last time I did something like that it was for a blood clot. I thought to myself, “Oh my God I think I have a blood clot.”
‘The guy was like, “No.” Then bam. They put a line in my neck. A central line in my neck. I had a TV remove control hanging out of my neck.’
She said the moment was more terrifying than undergoing emergency surgery for cancer.
Ultimately, it was determined that a UTI was to blame for the scare.
‘I got a UTI,’ she said. ‘My blood sugar was dropping, and I went sepsis. Women need to be very careful because a UTI can do a lot of damage. It can do a lot of different things.
‘It was very serious, and it can turn very quickly like that. If I would have changed the catheter the night before, none of this would have happened.’
But it wasn’t just the health scare itself that scared Abby Lee, but a patient with bandaged hands who was with her in ICU.
‘I was scared to death of him,’ she said. ‘I didn’t sleep for four days because I thought he was going to kill me.’
She also revealed her hospital stay delayed her return to the US which in turn allowed her to secure a business meeting and film a TV spot that she would not have been offered had she left a week prior.
‘On a positive note, I had a meeting with a very influential top notch television station,’ she said.
‘I was discharged on Thursday and on Friday I was in hair and make-up and on camera. I was just filming a fun silly stuff. But still, I snapped back.’
She continued: ‘I want to work. I like to work, and I feel like I have a lot to present to the world still. And I get the job done…
‘My girlfriend from Pittsburgh told me, “I have not yet decided you are the unluckiest person in the world or the luckiest in the world.”‘
Her latest scare is one of many health battles that Abby, who was sentenced to one year and one day in prison after being convicted of fraud in May 2017, has faced in recent years.

Elvira, 73, exposes Ariana Grande, 31, and says she was her worst and rudest Celeb encounter for what she did to her and Ari was quick to clap back but fans negatively react “Anxiety is not an excuse!”
During a recent conversation with her fans, Cassandra Peterson — better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — revealed she had a bad interaction with a celebrity whose name “rhymes with Pariana Mande.” She then doubled down, reposting an article about her remarks on Instagram and hash-tagging Ariana Grande’s name.
It was this post that caught Ariana Grande’s eye. “I’m so disheartened to see this,” the Wicked star commented on Elvira’s post. “I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family.”
In parentheses, Grande explained that she went to Elvira’s show “around 7 years ago,” when she was “really not great with being in public crowds or loud places.” She went on to apologize, and to praise Elvira. “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so,” she wrote. “Thank you for being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but I’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!)”
What Happened Between Ariana & Elvira?
Elvira told fans about her encounter with Grande during a Q&A at Knott’s Berry Farm in California, claiming that the pop star requested 20 tickets to her show for her family and friends, but refused to take a picture with her in return.
“We gave her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought,” she recalled, as seen in a viral video. “I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
Elvira also remembered that Grande left before the show began, which aligns with Grande’s memory of the night. “All her relatives stayed, and she took off,” Elvira said.
Here’s Ariana’s response:
After a round of boos from the Q&A audience, someone on stage with Elvira quipped, “she’s playing the wrong witch,” nodding to Grande’s role in Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch.
There seem to be no hard feelings on Grande’s side, as she ended her comment by writing “sending love always” and declaring that Elvira will “always be our queen of halloween.” Elvira has yet to respond to Grande’s apology.

Keanu Reeves, 60, finally Confirmed Marriage to Winona Ryder, 52, after 30 years, reacting to the viral marriage rumors between him and Alexandra Grant “I want to clear all doubts and make things clear that…” See more
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are still madly in (platonic) love with each other.
The former “Dracula” costars have known each other since the 1980s and, as they divulged during a 2018 press tour for “Destination Wedding,” their onscreen nuptials in the 1992 Bram Stoker adaptation might’ve been legally binding.
On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast Monday, host Josh Horowitz asked Ryder how “the two biggest luddites on the planet” even keep in touch.
“I know,” said Ryder. “But we do text, and we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text … On his birthday, when I’m like, ‘Happy Birthday, my husband!’ and I put ‘Noni,’ he’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you, KR 57.’ On each birthday he’s like, ‘KR 57’ or whatever his age is.”
“He’s always done that,” she explained.
Ryder and Reeves were familiar with each other long before they were cast in “Dracula.”
“We met in the late ’80s, like ’87, ’88, at one of the early Independent Spirit Awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel,” she told People in 2018. “It wasn’t televised. Buck Henry was the emcee, and we gave out Best Supporting Actor.”
Ryder also explained to the outlet that she had initiated their “Destination Wedding” collaboration.
“I emailed him,” she said, adding: “I was so happy because he responded.”
During an Entertainment Weekly interview with Reeves in 2018, Ryder revealed that director Francis Ford Coppola had used “a real Romanian priest” for their “Dracula” wedding scene.
“We said yes?” Reeves asked Ryder, who confirmed as much. “Oh my gosh, we’re married,” he joked.
The Romanian nuptials presumably didn’t hold, however, as Reeves and Ryder have both pursued various other romantic interests over the years.
They’re each currently in relationships with other people: Reeves has been dating artist Alexandra Grant since 2019, and Ryder’s longtime partner is fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. However, neither actor has ever tied the knot — except, of course, (potentially) with each other.
