Bad news for this Dance Moms star!

The show's leader, Abby Lee Miller, has been sentenced to one year and one day in prison for bankruptcy fraud, Associated Press reports. A federal judge in Pittsburgh sentenced the former reality TV star after she pleaded guilty to federal bankruptcy fraud and money laundering.

The sentencing comes almost a year and a half since she was first indicted on 20 counts of fraud.

After she serves her time in a facility, Miller will have an additional two years of supervised released, in addition to paying fines of $40K and $120K for the currency reporting violation charge she was hit with last summer.

The charges were made public after Miller hid more than $755,000 in earnings from the reality series from the courts.

There's no official word yet from Lifetime if Dance Moms will be back for another season without its main star.
