Okay, so there’s a whole lot of talk online right now about Ashley Tisdale and some other celeb moms. She wrote this really honest essay about leaving a mom group that was making her unhappy – she called it “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group” – and everyone’s trying to figure out who she’s talking about! It seems like Hilary Duff, her husband Matthew Koma, and Hilary’s sister Haylie are involved, and now even Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor are being pulled into the drama. Honestly, as a movie and pop culture fan, it’s a bit messy, but I’m definitely following to see how it unfolds!
In a recent essay for The Cut, Ashley Tisdale shared that she felt excluded from her mom group, which led to her eventually leaving. Many fans think she was referring to Hilary Duff’s tight-knit group of friends, especially since Tisdale didn’t join them on their trip in October. While her absence wasn’t noticed much then, after the essay was published and other celebrity moms responded, people started paying closer attention to the relationships between these former Disney stars.
After Ashley Tisdale’s Post Went Viral, What Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor And Matthew Koma Said
Ashley Tisdale, known from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, clarified that a recent essay wasn’t about Hilary Duff or her friends. However, responses from Duff’s husband and Mandy Moore have made some people doubt her. For example, Tisdale reportedly unfollowed both Duff and Moore on Instagram. Plus, Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, has a history of being outspoken, having previously publicly criticized Candace Cameron Bure.
In a seeming response to Ashley Tisdale going viral for her article in The Cut, Matthew Koma posted an Instagram Story on January 6, photoshopping his image over Tisdale’s face and wrote:
If you consistently focus only on yourself and lack awareness of how your behavior affects others, other parents will likely redirect their attention to their children.
He also wrote: “Read my interview with @thecut. ‘A Mom Group Tell All Through a Father’s Eyes.’”
After what seems to be a calling-out of Ashley Tisdale, Mandy Moore broke her silence to support Matthew Koma. The couple famously took in Moore and her family when they lost their home in the Pacific Palisades fire, and on January 8 she reposted one of Koma’s Instagram Stories that showed her performing her hit “Candy” at a benefit concert. Moore wrote:
It’s wonderful that Matthew Koma is involved, as he’s truly one of the most gifted and kind people I know.
Although Mandy Moore didn’t address the recent issues surrounding motherhood, fans noticed she publicly supported her husband, Matthew Koma, at a notable moment.
Meghan Trainor appeared to respond directly with a TikTok video. She alluded to disagreements among mothers, using her song “Still Don’t Care” as the soundtrack.

Rumors from people claiming to be in the know are adding fuel to the story that these famous mothers aren’t getting along.
What Insiders Are Saying About The Mom Group Drama
People close to these celebrity mothers appear to agree that Ashley Tisdale’s essay referenced Hilary Duff and her friends, according to a source who spoke with US Weekly.
Everyone was surprised and upset by Ashley’s statements. They felt the group had genuinely been trying to help and never meant to cause any harm, so her comments came as a shock.
According to a source, both the This Is Us star and Hilary Duff believe their problems could have been resolved without public attention. They also feel Ashley Tisdale’s recent article presented them in a negative light, despite the fact that Tisdale didn’t mention anyone by name.
Some More Evidence On Ashley Tisdale’s Connection To The Duff Sisters
People have noticed Hilary Duff’s sister, Haylie, appears to be supporting Ashley Tisdale during the current controversy. She showed her support by liking a post Ashley shared on Instagram about her recent essay. Haylie and Ashley have a long-standing connection – Ashley actually sold her house to Haylie back in 2016 for $2.7 million, according to US Weekly.
Some people think Haylie Duff publicly backing Ashley Tisdale actually confirms rumors of a rift between the two sisters.
As a big Hilary Duff fan, I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about a November episode of Jake Shane’s podcast, Therapuss. She was discussing her friendships, and she actually said she feels like she’s really good at letting go of friends who just aren’t a good fit for her life anymore. It was a pretty candid moment, and she went on to explain…
Sometimes you need to be direct and say, ‘I’m not able to help in the way you need right now. It’s too much for me, and I need some space.’ I’ve had to do that before. I always want to be sure I’m acting responsibly and don’t unintentionally hurt anyone. It’s better to explain the situation openly and honestly.
There’s no proof Hilary Duff was referring to her friendship with Ashley Tisdale, or that any celebrity mothers have confirmed these rumors. Right now, it’s all based on speculation. But with so many connections being made and more evidence appearing daily, it’s understandable why people online are so fascinated.
