Known for her bold personality and no-nonsense attitude, she quickly became a standout figure on the popular reality series Dance Moms. Nicknamed Black Patsy, she made her debut in the show’s second season during the memorable episode titled “The Recall to End All Recitals.” While many fans got to know her through the drama and dance routines, there’s more to her story. Before stepping into the spotlight, she was already a dedicated mother of five. She shares a close bond with her daughter Nicaya Wiley, who also appeared alongside her on the show, captivating audiences with their dynamic. In addition to Nicaya, she is proud mom to another daughter, A’maya, and three sons—Dennis, Michael, and Nico. Over time, Black Patsy has built a reputation not just as a reality TV personality, but as a strong, opinionated, and fiercely protective parent. Her journey on Dance Moms may have brought her fame, but her role as a mother remains central to who she is. And let’s be honest—whether you loved her or found her controversial, Black Patsy definitely left her mark.
She made a few appearances throughout seasons 2 and 3, showing up here and there, but after that, she was mostly absent from Dance Moms for a while. Then, in season 6, she finally reappeared—this time alongside Nicaya—in a video montage featured during the episode titled “The Girls Say Goodbye.” It was a brief but notable return, reminding fans that she still had a place in the Dance Moms journey. Her presence, though short-lived in that moment, added a nostalgic touch to the series, especially as longtime viewers remembered her earlier contributions. So, while she wasn’t a regular during the middle seasons, her connection to Dance Moms remained, and her name still resonated with fans who followed her story.
