Chloe Lukasiak’s Instagram account has been hacked. The Dance Moms alum took to Twitter yesterday to inform fans that she has been “locked out” of her own account. This, however, is not the first time that an account of a cast member from the hit Lifetime series has been compromised.
Apart from Chloe Lukasiak, TMZ previously reported that Abby Lee Miller and Mackenzie Ziegler’s accounts were recently hacked by a group of four underage girls, dubbed “ The Mean Girls .” Dance Moms alums Paige and Kelly Hyland’s Instagram accounts were also hacked in December.
Hey guys just letting you know I’m locked out of my Instagram ? we’re trying to get it back but not having any luck

An insider close to Dance Moms told the outlet that the hackers had “repeatedly gotten into their cellphones, iCloud, emails, and PayPal accounts.” The Mean Girls also posted private phone numbers and personal information on social media. While the cast have already hired a private investigator to look into the matter, the search remains futile.
After hearing what happened to Chloe Lukasiak’s Instagram account, fans of the 14-year-old dancer immediately showed their concern. While several have expressed their sympathy, some also gave tips on how she may be able to recover her account from the hackers.
Early February, Maddie Ziegler’s Instagram account has also been compromised. Fans of the Dance Moms alum lashed at the hacker, wondering why some would spend their time harassing the young dancer.

In other news, Maddie has recently confirmed that she will be leaving Dance Moms after season 6. At the recent Nickelodeon’s 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards, she shared that she is happy to be “ moving on to cool things. ”
In an interview with People , Ziegler said that she is looking forward to being a part of So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation. While this is an incredible opportunity for her, Maddie admitted that there is definite pressure to always have her best foot forward.
“It’ll be amazing but also kind of nerve-racking because I’m the only kid and I have to be on my best game at all time.”
Asked about what type of judge she will be on the next installment of So You Think You Can Dance, she described herself as “supportive” and “encouraging.” Given that she has been on several dance competitions, she felt like she understood where the kids were coming from.
“I feel like since I’m their age I can’t really tell them what to do, [so] I think I’m gonna be the supportive judge and always [encourage] the kids.”
Ziegler is also currently working on her movie debut with Colin Trevorrow’s The Book of Henry. She is also set to star in Sia’s first movie, Sisters .
Another Dance Moms alum who graced Nickelodeon’s 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards was Chloe Lukasiak. After leaving the Lifetime series in 2014, she has undoubtedly made a name for herself. Just like Maddie, she will be making her first movie debut with Center Stage: Dance Camp . Lukasiak has also scored several endorsement deals and was featured on different magazines.
Unfortunately for the fans, Chloe Lukasiak and Maddie Ziegler did not have a photo together at the recent KCAs. While Maddie was with mom Melissa Gisoni, sister Mackenzie, and co-stars Kendall Vertes, Kalani Hilliker and JoJo Siwa, Chloe walked the orange carpet alone.
While they were still on the show, Chloe Lukasiak and Maddie Ziegler have been incessantly pitted against each other. Some fans, however, insisted that Abby Lee Miller had her eyes set on Maddieall along.
“I think that everyone was so obsessed with the Maddie vs. Chloe thing is because Abby… showed most of her attention to us two and I feel like that’s what happened,” Maddie explained.
