‘Dance Moms’ News 2015: Maddie Ziegler Admits, ‘I Don’t Feel Normal Anymore,’ Doesn’t See Much Of Her Father [VIDEO]
Now that she is an international star, Maddie Ziegler admits that she can't walk down a street without being recognized. The Dance Moms star opened up about how she doesn't feel "normal" anymore and how the best is yet to come in her skyrocketing career.
According to Britain's Telegraph on Saturday, Ziegler opens up about her parents' divorce, her new family dynamic and how she's dealing with her fame.
She said," I don't feel that normal anymore because I get recognized, even when I'm just trying to have fun or going to get ice cream with my friends. People go crazy and it gets overwhelming."
In order to keep her fans at bay, Ziegler also has a security team that followers her everywhere she goes.
We have 24-hour security. Kipper's my favorite," Ziegler admits about her favorite bodyguard in her detail. "He's good-looking, too."
Ziegler's parents, Melissa and Ken, divorced back in 2011 after her father said that her dance career was "ruining" their family. Since then, she hasn't spent much time with her biological father or his side of the family.
She said, "I don't see as much of my dad, I live with my stepdad, who's awesome. He's like my best friend. I usually see my dad on holidays, like Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve - definitely not Christmas though, because all my presents are at my house."
Dance Moms airs on the Lifetime network.
