Overview
- In a newly published essay for The Cut, Tisdale says a once-supportive mothers’ circle devolved into petty, exclusionary behavior that felt like “high school.”
- She wrote to the group that she would no longer take part after another gathering proceeded without her and then stepped away from meetups.
- In the days around the essay’s release, she unfollowed Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore on Instagram, while not naming anyone in her piece.
- She had addressed the issue on her blog in 2025 after previously sharing group trips and thanking friends for support during Los Angeles wildfires.
- Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, posted an Instagram Story with The Cut’s logo and a mock headline that appeared to reference Tisdale’s essay.
