It looks as though Kelly Hyland is going to have her day in court after all. According to a new report, Superior Court judge Ruth Ann Kwan has decided to move forward with Hyland's lawsuit against Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller. Hyland is suing Miller after making claims that her daughters Brooke and Paige suffered emotionally distress while they were her students.

According to Hyland, her daughter Paige suffered from panic attacks while Miller emotionally berated her. The controversial dance instructor had even allegedly thrown a chair at her during one of their dance practices.

According to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, Judge Kwan said that Hyland can proceed forward with her claims against Miller, which include negligence and breach of contract.

Radar Online reported back in August that Hyland claims Miller makes her dancers work 60-hour work weeks and is accusing her of cruel insults and body shaming. What's more, Miller also allegedly threw a chair at her student during a rehearsal as well.

The lawsuit says that Miller "engaged in conduct that caused the Plaintiff to reasonably believe she was about to be touched or harmed in an offensive matter. As a proximate result of the Defendant's wrongful conduct, the Plaintiff has suffered emotional distress, anxiety, frustration, anger, humiliation, post traumatic stress and anguish."

The lawsuit said, "Miller insulted and abused Paige on an almost daily basis, including cruel name calling, insults about Paige's physical appearance and making offensive false and defamatory accusations about Paige's family. All of this abuse was done for the sake of drama during the show."

Hyland's lawyers also add though that Miller was "caring and nurturing" towards Hyland before filming for the reality show began and only changed her behavior once the cameras were on.
