The 50-year-old reality star allegedly hid over $755,000 in income, and a channel-flipping judge was the one that supposedly found her out. He apparently grew suspicious after seeing the stars' various television programs.

According to the indictment, the notorious dance instructor filled for bankruptcy in 2010 to "reorganize" her dance studio and even tried squeezing another dance studio out from the process. Seems like a pretty big thing to hide from the bankruptcy courts, though.

With the charges pilling up, she could get handed a sentence of five years in prison as well as a fine of $250,000 for each accusation—which could add up to $5 million. And the judge may not be too forgiving, especially if she treats the judge anything like
she treats her fans. Yikes!
