Does anyone want to do some sleuthing for me? lol

[muppetinma]

I was just going to post that it was canceled last year. . .

[lolaburns]

Not to be a jerk , but I find it very unlikely a 30 year old would be used in a dance show commercial targeted to teens.

I looked on backpage.com where it usually lists auditions for stuff around town, and didn't see anything. I looked back through December also.

It might have been posted somewhere else though...

Does she have an agent?

I shouldn't even care... but it just bothers the hell out of me. I don't know what is wrong with her. I feel so bad for her kid. She goes out every freaking night drinking. We went out to eat with them Sunday and her 3 year old ran away, literally, and she didn't tell anyone that he was missing for over 10 minutes. I don't know what she has to gain by lying about something like this? The Grammy thing still baffles me but this takes the cake.

I agree which is my thought process all along. Come on, we're in Nashville. Not NYC. I just don't see a random dance instructor calling her up ALL these years later. She doesn't dance anymore. I danced for 16 years and I think I'd have trouble in a beginners class these days. I just cannot fathom a 30 year old woman being called up randomly for an audition like this. I'm not trying to get down on her... I just needed to confirm she is a liar, lol.

Not as far as I know. I've been with my H 6 years and have only heard that she danced one time. She has never posted about it on FB or anything. *If* she danced professionally, she hasn't done it in 10 years according to my H. She is rather charismatic and was on Wheel of Fortune like 5 years ago, lol. But, I still don't see her randomly getting a call to go to a audition for a cancelled show, lol.

Her son was missing for 10 minutes and she never said anything? Where was he? Honestly, this would concern me more than the lying thing.

Does she have a history of mental illness? The outlandish lying, drinking and not taking care of her son just scream mental illness.

I don't know where he was. I believe in the bathroom (he's 3). He was terrorizing C (long story short his parents didn't make him sit down and he was over at our end of the table taking Colin's food and making him cry) and then started throwing Colin's toy at other tables with patrons. Finally SIL was like "We're gonna go" (her and BIL drove separate) and then we see nephew run off and her go after him but she was right behind him. We thought they had left and about 10 minutes later she came back, by herself, and whispered to her H (but my H heard it) that she couldn't find her son. Then he swiftly got up and they went and looked. All this time, they never publicly announced he was missing. 

I think you're right that it screams mental illness. It's really rather sad. She hangs out with just out of HS girls and has dinner and drinks out with friends more than she eats dinner with her child. My FIL actually just was complaining about it to me but... what can I do? She doesn't seem to care all too much about me and I don't think she'd listen if I offered help or support. Just three weeks ago my SIL went out bar hopping and my BIL (her H) was lonely so he went out drinking my himself, drove his brand new $45,000 mustang home and wrecked it (but doesn't know what he hit or how he wrecked it), passed out in his puke and was unconscious. Their 3 year old wasn't home, thankfully, but the drinking and partying is a huge issue in the home, IMO.

Can your ILs talk to them? It sounds like they both may have a drinking problem.

They aren't much help. My H's middle brother has been abusing some prescription pills and bought some overseas, apparently. He supposedly can't sleep well so he started abusing meds to sleep. Anyways, he told my H and my H kind of hinted at his parents that his brother needs help. My H didn't want to overstep his boundaries but he says his middle brother has been depressed and distanced lately. His parents said "Well, he's 30, we can't do anything." His dad also responded "Everyone is at least a little depressed." I imagine it'd go the same way. H's parents will acknowledge there is a problem but I don't think they want to push BIL/SIL away because of grandson. They are enablers too. They watch that child numerous times a week so they can go out drinking (together or separately). I wish they'd say something rather than bitch to H and I about it.

At some point someone may need to consider whether or not that's a safe environment for your nephew. I certainly hope they can get their act together before something tragic happens.

I so agree. My family is not perfect but at least we lay it all out there. H's family is so secretive. His parents are in the "We don't want to push anyone away" corner. They moved here from another state without family support so they always want to be supportive regardless. It's annoying at times. It's like, wake up and REALIZE that sometimes things need some interference. Sometimes people need to speak up. They don't want to because the people are adults - so, not their place, they say. I swear to you, I told my H a week ago that he should say something, in a loving way, to his brother. I asked him if he would regret it if something happened to BIL (like, drinking/driving/death) would he be able to deal with that if he didn't speak up. He said yes. I personally wouldn't be able to deal with myself. But I guess I just don't think it's my place. I think my H should say something calmly to his brother - brother to brother - but he doesn't want to.

I see zero dance auditions in Nashville and ABDC was cancelled and not picked up.

[carawestt]

Yeah, it's not being picked up again. My friend was on the winning team, The Electrolytes, and he was always talking about how cool it was to be the winner of the last season.

She sounds like she just wanted attention.

[Deleted]

I should friend her and call her a cray cray.

[eav2c]

Y'all, she just posted a status that said "call back! Call back! I'm on cloud 9! A drink tonight to celebrate."

Omg, lol. Mind you, no family is supposed to see it but she forgot my H.

Do y'all think there is a chance she means another show and not ABDC? Isn't there another dancing show? I really want to believe this isn't a lie, lol.

[thedahliharpa]

I would find a article about it being cancelled, post it, and say something like "I miss this show so much! No wonder I have not been able to find it. What a bummer!".

[carawestt]

The other dancing show was So You Think You Can Dance? But why would she block her family members from seeing it? It doesn't add up.

Yes!! Doooo it

[eav2c]

lol, y'all, I really might do that!!!

I don't know why she'd block family if it was true. Her parents and H "like" and normally comment on everything. You mean to tell me they wouldn't on this awesome achievement, if it were true? I can't be for sure that they are blocked but I know my H's side is. Like I said, why talk about your drinking problem and bad decisions publicly but not this!?

She says "ballet sequence" in her initial comment. That doesn't sound like ABDC at all. I really think, if this is true, that it's SYTYCD.

[thedahliharpa]

I thought SYTYCD has a age cut off of 29 but maybe it is 30.

She might be 31! She posted that it wasn't for the show but for a promo!? Whatever the hell that means.
