Former Dance Moms star Nia Sioux is reminding us all that “No” is a full sentence. Sioux went on TikTok to address why she didn’t do the two-hour Dance Moms: The Reunion special, premiering on Lifetime Wednesday May 1. “Yeah, it’s pretty plain and simple. I just didn’t want to do it,” she said. “Some people think it was because I had sorority stuff. Nope, I didn’t. Some people think it’s because I’m in school. I am in school, but it wouldn’t have been an issue. I just didn’t want to do it, and that’s a good enough answer and that’s a good enough reason.” Sioux said she originally didn’t want to comment on her lack of participation in the reunion because “I just didn’t want to start drama — not that this would even start drama. It really shouldn’t.” She says she’s still grateful for getting her start on the show, and she’s happy her former co-stars “get to share how they felt or their experiences, but that’s just something I decided that I didn’t want to do, and that’s okay.”
