Dance Moms Faces Backlash Over JonBenet Routine
News summary

The Hulu series 'Dance Moms: A New Era' is facing significant backlash after episode 8 featured a controversial dance routine inspired by the tragic murder of JonBenét Ramsey. Dance coach Gloria 'Glo' Hampton assigned 11-year-old Ashlan to perform the routine, instructing her to research the details of Ramsey's life and death, which many viewers found to be in poor taste and exploitative. The routine included Ashlan mimicking being strangled, which sparked outrage on social media for being disrespectful and disturbing. Critics argued that the show blurred the lines between entertainment and real-life tragedy, with some suggesting that such routines should never be performed. Despite the controversy, neither Hulu nor Hampton have responded to requests for comment.
