Meghan Trainor and Mandy Moore speak out amid Ashley Tisdale’s ‘toxic’ mom group debacle
If Ashley Tisdale’s goal is to prove her wrong when she compared ex-mom groups to high school groups, her critics may be missing the point.
The High School Musical alum first wrote about distancing herself from her fellow moms in December, explaining in an entry on her site By Ashley French that she didn’t think the group had become toxic, “not because moms themselves are toxic people, but because that dynamic has shifted to an ugly place with mean girl behavior.”
The post, titled “You are allowed to leave mom group,” does not name the alleged Regina George type. There was also no follow-up on her subject, “Farewell to Toxic Mom Groups,” which was published in The Cut on January 1st.
But Tisdale, who shares four-year-old daughter Jupiter and 16-month-old daughter Emerson with husband David French, was seen in photos playing with fellow famous moms Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff and Meghan Trainor, leading online sleuths to quickly conclude that they played a role in her birth.
Or at least, as Tisdale described the situation, they seemed to be members of this “mother village” who had fallen “from lifeline to landmine,” which made her feel alienated.
