Overview
- Trainor, in an interview published Wednesday, said Tisdale texted to apologize for her name getting dragged into the online speculation.
- She said she was a “bad mom friend” who rarely showed up, and that the group eventually spun up a separate chat without her, which she accepted.
- Trainor said she texted everyone in the group and tried to calm things down, noting some non‑public moms were distressed to suddenly be widely searchable online.
- Tisdale’s essay in January described feeling excluded from a friend group, and fan sleuthing pointed to well‑known moms including Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore, with Duff later saying the timing felt not great and that she felt used.
- Trainor has posted playful TikToks signaling no feud, and she now describes the whole episode as confusion rather than conflict.
