Miller’s prison term followed her pleading guilty to bankruptcy fraud in July 2016. In October 2015, she was charged with trying to hide $775,000 of income from her Lifetime spin-off “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition,” as well as other projects, during Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. She allegedly hid the money in secret bank accounts from 2012-2013.
In May 2017, Miller was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison and two years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay a $40,000 fine and a $120,000 judgment.
While in prison, she passed a real estate class and got a personal finance diploma, according to E! News.
