Overview
- Ashley Tisdale’s Jan. 1 essay in The Cut described leaving a mom group over exclusion without naming anyone, and her representative later told TMZ it was not about Duff, Moore or Trainor.
- Online sleuthing noted Tisdale unfollowed Duff and Moore, Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma mocked the essay with a satirical Instagram post, and Tisdale’s husband Christopher French shared supportive, stay-above-the-fray quotes.
- Meghan Trainor acknowledged the chatter with a TikTok set to her song Still Don’t Care, framing it as her reaction to hearing about the supposed drama without making specific claims.
- Unnamed sources told Us Weekly the circle felt blindsided and denied ‘mean girl’ behavior, while other reports cited a misalignment of values or natural drift; additional theories around politics or wildfire fallout remain unconfirmed.
- Mandy Moore publicly praised Koma in a separate post, the alleged group’s makeup continues to be discussed by outlets, and no comprehensive on-the-record responses from the principal celebrities have resolved the dispute.
