Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller's prison sentence delayed

Abby Lee Miller, the tough-as-nails dance teacher on Dance Moms was sentenced to time in prison back in May, but it seems the reality star will wait before starting her sentence due to a possible medical condtiion.

The Dance Moms star was due to kick off her stint behind bars on June 30th but according to E! her sentence of one year and one month has been postponed until July 12.

It's not known exactly why the sentence has been delayed, however the 50-year-old has been posting photos and videos to her Instagram account showing an x-ray of her knee.

In one pic's caption, she says: "Bone on Bone! X-ray Right knee - That kinda hurts a little OUCH! [sic]"

It comes after Abby was sentenced to one year and one day in jail for bankruptcy fraud and for bringing $120,000 worth of Australian currency into the United States undeclared after visiting Down Under for dance instruction trips.

Abby pleaded guilty to both cases last year, and was ordered to pay a whopping $54,000 and spend two years on probation after being released.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the US District judge said she felt compelled to send her to prison rather than give her the probation term she wanted. The judge said, "The sentence reflects a need to enforce respect for the bankruptcy process and the law."

"Somehow you got caught up in this world of fame and got sidetracked," the judge aded. "And you lost your moral compass."

Prosecutors said she tried to cheat her creditors by hiding $US775,000 worth of income and deserved prison.

When the dance teacher addressed the court, filled with a room full of supporters, she sobbed as she recounted her desperation in trying to save her dance school in Penn Hills.

"I am very sorry for what I've done," she said. "I can only assure you that I will never be before a criminal court again."

Well Abby it looks like you have more time behind the ballet barre... for now.
