Sharpay Evans would never be excluded from a clique, but Ashley Tisdale claims she was. In an essay titled, “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group. I Thought I Found My Village. Instead, I was in High School,” the 40-year-old Disney Channel alum wrote about her experience with an anonymous group of women, whom internet users speculated included famous pals Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
The women used to hang out on a few occasions, as seen in pictures from the past, and Ashley no longer follows Hilary or Mandy; ergo, social media sleuths tried to dig deeper into the narrative. So, what has Ashley said about the uproar from her essay?
Former Disney Channel star Christy Carlson Romano and Meghan chimed in on the chatter too. The Cadet Kelly star shared a TikTok post discussing the dynamic of mom groups. Christy said, in part, “In the end, if you can make time for the people that matter to you, they should be giving back to you as much as you’re putting out. And if that dynamic shifts, then just go find another group of friends. It’s very simple. It’s not supposed to be dramatic. … Sometimes, it gets a little crazy, and then you write an article about it.”
As for Meghan, the “Dear Future Husband” artist shared a TikTok video of herself typing on a computer with the caption, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama,” included with the clip.
Here’s what we know about the “mom group” that Ashley was a part of.
In the essay published through The Cut, Ashley described the “ugly” group’s “mean girl behavior” and her feelings of exclusion that left her “hurt, drained and left out.”
