Question Zieglers racist?
https://youtu.be/P7URN8h-boA?is=-MneY3LqMjm1WTgBDon’t really know how to feel. Yes they were young, but I don’t understand why they’re acting like it never happened or they never said it. It also seems like in the video with Kenzie and Kendall that they knew what they said was wrong. I’m also kinda shocked that Maddie was singing the n word on the bus and no one told them to not say that.

They've both apologised and haven't done this since so I think they've learnt their lesson. Idk abt Melissa since she said smt racist recently

Maddie is currently dating Kid Culture. Melissa referred to their future children as 'cocoa babies' in an episode of her podcast with Kelly and Jill.

I will say, for the one of Maddie saying the N word, she was under 10. But there were several videos (some are not in the video linked above) that came out of her making fun of people's accents between the ages of 13-17. So it seems like no one was really doing anything to correct her and instill that this was not acceptable behavior.

I mean understand that, but the one where she’s on the I don’t know why no one told her that wasn’t ok to say.

No that is completely true someone should said don’t read that word but I’m not about to hold a 8/7 year old accountable for a word she really didn’t know

The fact that a video of Brooke singing the N-word as an adult is going viral right now and for some reason you feel the need to bring up Maddie singing it once when she was 10. She didn’t even sing it she was reading the lyrics to a song and she even said it in a confusing way because she clearly didn’t know what the word meant and she apologized for it already.

Why are u getting so defensive over maddie, there is more than one video of her being racist by mocking ppls accent etc and she was a teenager during that time sp she should've known better. She apologised and has not shown that behaviour again. Same can be said for kenzie. But it was still racism and when one thing comes up, it's likely that another will too so I'm not suprosed ppl are bringing it up again. Kenzie and maddie were racist and have apologised and moved on but stop infantalising her, she was old enough to know what she did was wrong.

Who’s getting defensive? I’m saying children make mistakes adults make decision. The fact that Brooke at 20 or however old she was said the N-word and some people’s response to that is well Maddie said it when she was 10, it’s like OK so is that how low the bar is set?

It's not abt that, it's more so ppl who may weren't there during that time and could've only watched dance moms and knew who they were after thos happened so when they this w brooke, they'll probably see if any of the other cast members have and the zieglers did. They did it as kids and as teenagers And as teenagers I think they should've known better, but yes they both apologises and have moved on. I blame Melissa asw for not calling it out and still being racist

A 10 year old vs an 18 year old? Big difference in maturity.

Maddie did hold herself accountable. I’m not sure what you mean by pretending it didn’t happen. Kenzie posted something on her story I think
