Abby Lee Miller just wanted to sit back and relax and enjoy a *Dance Moms* Q&A in Texas when one fan asked a — perhaps agitating, grating — question that drew gasps from the crowd.

The notorious reality star stopped by the University of North Texas on Feb. 23 for *An Evening with Abby Lee Miller*, an event that promised to be an “an unforgettable night”—and didn’t disappoint.

During the Q&A portion, Miller called on a student named Isa, who stunned the sold-out crowd of 500 with her earnest question.

Abby Lee Miller starred on 'Dance Moms' for eight seasons until 2019.

“You were rumored to be on drugs during the show,” Isa called out from the back of UNT’s Lyceum Theater, as the room erupted in gasps. “I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry to ruin it.” But still she wanted to know: “Is it true? Were you doing cocaine or no?”

The jeers turned to cheers once it seemed clear the famously unfiltered Miller wasn’t ruffled by the provocative question: “Didn’t you remember me saying I got $1,500 an episode?”

“So, yes?” Isa joked.

Miller also blessed the fan with one of her classic *Dance Moms* insults. Isa, who goes by @zerothebalance on TikTok, captioned her video: “She called me a Dingbat 💔”
