Ashley Tisdale Announces She Will Star in New Coparenting Comedy After ‘Toxic’ Mom Group Drama

“I remember being left out of a couple of group hangs, and I knew about them because Instagram made sure it fed me every single photo and Instagram Story,” Tisdale French wrote at the time. “I was starting to feel frozen out of the group, noticing every way that they seemed to exclude me. … I told myself it was all in my head, and it wasn’t a big deal. And yet, I could sense a growing distance between me and the other members of the group, who seemed to not even care that I wasn’t around much.”

Tisdale French described parting ways with the other mom by texting the group that it felt “too high school for me, and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”

During an appearance on the Wednesday, February 25, episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Duff claimed people didn’t have to “connect very many dots” to figure out which mom group Tisdale French was referring to.

“I felt really sad. I honestly felt really sad. I was pretty, pretty taken aback and felt just sad,” Duff, 38, said of Tisdale French’s claims. “I have so many groups of friends. I’m so lucky.”

The Lizzie McGuire alum added, “It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of six women and all of their lives.”

Earlier this month, Kaley Cuoco, who is part of a different mom group, took a swipe at Tisdale French for the essay.

“I mean, if you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby,” Cuoco, 40, said while appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on February 5. “Do we have to talk about it?”
