Maddie Ziegler may have started her career in "Dance Moms" but her performance in Sia's "Chandelier" music video catapulted her to stardom instantly. Naturally in Hollywood, when one is getting more opportunity and success, there will be people who are going to bring them down and Maddie Ziegler is no exception. The "Ballerina" star revealed in a new interview that she has also dealt with jealous dancers before.

While promoting her new animated "Ballerina" on BBC News, Maddie Ziegler shared her character's personality. The former "Dance Moms" then revealed that it was a challenge for her to portray her "Ballerina" character since she is the complete opposite. For a nice girl like Maddie Ziegler to portray a toxingly overjealous role has definitely been a challenge.

Since she was playing a mean character who was trying to bring one hopeful dancer down, the host asked Maddie Ziegler if she ever had been in that situation. The "Ballerina" star did not hesitate -- although she was on the other side of the spectrum -- and shared that there were kids who where mean and jealous of her in the past.

"I guess I could relate to some kids who have been a little mean to me or like trying to bring me down," Maddie Ziegler said. She further explained that having negative people around is inevitable because in the dancing industry, jealousy is nothing short of (somewhat) expected.

Although Maddie Ziegler did not mention any names, some Chloe Lukasiak fans may be thinking that the "Ballerina" star was throwing shade at the "Center Stage: On Pointe" actress. While the former "Dance Moms" stars have clearly moved on from the rivalry that Abby Lee Miller started in the Lifetime show, their fans are still fighting over who's better between the two.
