Overview
- Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on February 5, Cuoco said of the drama, “If you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby,” adding there was no need to keep talking about it or write an essay.
- Ashley Tisdale’s January essay in The Cut described leaving a former mom group she called “toxic” after feeling excluded and deciding the dynamic felt too high school.
- Tisdale did not name other mothers in the piece, and her representative later told TMZ the essay was not about friendships with Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore or Meghan Trainor.
- Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, previously mocked the essay in a social post, calling Tisdale self‑obsessed and tone deaf, which helped fuel further coverage.
- In the broader fallout, celebrities and friends have spotlighted supportive mom groups on social media, while key details about the group Tisdale referenced remain unconfirmed.
