Why did Crystianna Summers leave Dancing Dolls... once more? Get the newest details on what took place to the 'Bring It!' dancer.
In 2017, Crystianna Summers and her aunt, Rittany, had been at the heart of all the drama on Bring It! after the duo determined to chop ties with dance professional Dianna Williams and the Dancing Dolls to join a rival group.
However, that split used to be short-lived and Coach D welcomed Crystianna back with open palms. Now, audience of the Lifetime fact collection are reeling after Coach D introduced Crystianna can be leaving Dancing Dolls (again) for the rest of the season.
Everything gave the look to be going well for Crystianna. Former captain Camryn stepped down two months ahead of leaving for school, which intended it was once time for Crystianna to step up and lead the Dancing Dolls along with fellow dancer Makya.
"I am so excited to be captain this year," Crystianna said at the time. "This is my year, my time to shine." But two days earlier than competition, Coach D broke the news to the dancers that Crystianna would no longer be returning.
"Crystianna, her mother has decided to put her on a plane and she has gone to do an appearance at another location in Michigan and she is not coming," Coach D instructed the workforce. "It's funny because me and Mimi were just talking earlier today about loyalty, responsibility, and sacrifice. I can't explain it. I am upset. This is a slap in the face to me as a coach, to pick you as a captain of this team and for you to just blow us off and to not show up."
Technically, the Dancing Dolls are allowed to make paid apppearances, but only if they don't intrude with follow or pageant — something Crystianna and her mom, Valisa, clearly did not care about.
As Coach D put it, "Never in Dancing Dolls history have we ever had a captain abandon the team, especially the night before the competition, but this is it." And for those who had been wondering, the Dancing Dolls took first place, even with out Crystianna.
As anticipated, fans were upset about Crystianna's "betrayal."
"It’s just NOT the same without Captain Crystianna," one viewer tweeted. Another wrote, "Man I can't wait to see how Dianna confront Crystianna and her mom for what they did. I always been team Crystianna but even I am shocked by her missing a competition knowing she leading it. She would be demoted for a stunt like that."
Suspiciously, Crystianna still calls herself the captain of the Dancing Dolls in her Instagram bio, prompting some to believe that is all a reality TV stunt, and Crystianna will make her return ahead of the end of the season.
"It's a storyline bubu. She never did her team dirty AT ALL but since all the fan favorites are leaving and Crystianna will be the only one left the show is trying to make her look bad and we don't stop watching when she leaves," one fan theorized. Another agreed, adding, "I don't like the Crystianna storyline they're using... Leave her alone for f--ks sake."
Only time will inform if Crystianna reclaims her position as captain of the Dancing Dolls during Season 5.
All this blame on Crystianna's mom has many questioning where her aunt, Rittany, who was once a staple on the Bring It!, is these days. Last season, Coach D allowed Crystianna to return back to the Dancing Dolls, but Rittany was no longer allowed because of her position in Crystianna joining their rival dance group.
Rittany used to be helping carry Crystianna following her dad's demise in 2015, but her mother was also involved — just in the back of the scenes. "Her mom wasn't in jail, she was the one driving Crystianna to practice and at all the competitions too," one fan defined amid rumors that Valisa was once at the back of bars. "Her past record scared the producers from letting her on the show. She had to threaten to pull Crystianna for them to put her on this season."
This would provide an explanation for so much. Watch Bring It! Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.
