Meghan Trainor Responds to Ashley Tisdale’s ‘Toxic Mom Group’ Essay as Speculation Grows

The unnamed essay has fueled viral reactions, from a deleted parody by Hilary Duff’s husband to a critical TikTok by Christy Carlson Romano.

Overview

  • Tisdale’s essay in The Cut describes leaving a mothers group after feeling excluded by split chats, missed invites and social-media posts that felt like high school.
  • She did not name anyone, but coverage and users have speculated about figures including Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
  • Instagram activity noted by fans showed Tisdale unfollowed Duff and Moore after the essay, which intensified public guessing about who was involved.
  • Matthew Koma, Duff’s husband, posted a mocking, magazine-style image reacting to the essay that went viral before he removed it.
  • Trainor posted a TikTok using her track Still Don’t Care and the hashtag #stilldontcare, a move widely read as an unbothered response to the controversy.
