Ashley Tisdale and Haylie Duff Dine With Families in Malibu Following 'Toxic Mom Group' Essay

Their renewed visibility underscores Haylie's publicly supportive posture following Tisdale's unnamed account of leaving a friend circle she found unhealthy.

Overview

  • The pair were photographed leaving an Italian restaurant in Malibu with their children this week, marking a second public meetup in recent days.
  • Two days earlier, Haylie shared an Instagram Story of her daughter Lulu playing with Tisdale’s daughter Jupiter, captioned “Under table shenanigans,” which Tisdale reposted.
  • Tisdale’s January essay for The Cut described exiting a “toxic” mom group without naming participants, and her representative has denied that it was about Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, or Meghan Trainor.
  • Speculation about the group persisted as Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma mocked Tisdale on Instagram on January 6, while Tisdale and Haylie’s recent interactions have been read by outlets as a show of support.
  • Hilary has not confirmed any link to the essay; she recently debuted a song titled “We Don’t Talk,” widely reported to reference a rift with sister Haylie, whom she hasn’t been publicly photographed with since 2019.
