Overview
- Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma posted a spoof magazine cover on Instagram calling the subject “self‑obsessed” and “tone deaf,” which was widely interpreted as a dig at Ashley Tisdale.
- Christopher French, Tisdale’s husband, shared cryptic messages urging restraint, including, “It’s your choice whether or not to engage.”
- An insider told outlets that Duff and Mandy Moore felt blindsided by the essay and believed the situation should have been handled privately.
- Separate reports citing unnamed sources claim a “misalignment of values” and wildfire‑related grievances contributed to the rift, though these accounts remain unverified and are disputed by Tisdale’s camp.
- Duff has not addressed the claims directly and instead teased a risqué new song, while public reactions from Christy Carlson Romano and Chelsea Handler — and Haylie Duff’s noticed Instagram like — kept the story in heavy rotation.
