Ava Michelle from Netflix’s Tall Girl was kicked off Dance Moms for being too tall

Oh, the irony!

Many of us are familiar with statuesque Ava Michelle from her lead role in popular Netflix series Tall Girl but what many don’t know is that it wasn’t her first TV appearance.

In fact not only was the 6 foot 2 beauty on TV before but she was actually kicked off of a show for being ‘too tall’. That’s right exactly the thing she’s famous for now.

Footage has begun to circulate around the internet of Ava’s brief time on reality TV show Dance Moms.

In the clip, we can see Ava being humiliated to the point tears when she is compared to the other girls and yelled at for being tall.

Honestly, it’s really heartbreaking to watch.

I don’t know how this dance coach can think that this is appropriate behaviour and I’m so glad that Ava has finally gotten her time to shine and show off her talent.

The stunning dancer and actress has also appeared in Mamma Mia and This Is Me under the name Ava Cota.
