Ashley Tisdale’s shocking decision to leave a “toxic” celebrity mom group is creating even more drama, as a rumored member appears to clap back with a shady social media post. The “High School Musical” star now openly describes how the once-supportive circle of A‑list moms turns into a tight clique filled with “mean-girl behavior” and deliberate exclusion.
In her emotional essay, Tisdale explains that she repeatedly sees photos of parties and hangouts she never gets invited to, making her feel like she is right back in high school. She finally sends a message to the group saying the whole situation feels “too high school” and firmly states that she no longer wants to be part of it.
The fallout quickly explodes online after one supposed member of the star-studded mom circle linked to big names such as Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor posts a cryptic, pointed message just as Tisdale’s story goes viral. Fans immediately read the timing and tone as thinly veiled shade, which only intensifies speculation about exactly which mom Tisdale might be calling out.
Tisdale, who reportedly unfollows at least two of the famous moms on Instagram, stresses that she does not see the women as bad people but believes the group dynamic slides into something unhealthy and competitive. She urges other moms to walk away from any friend circle that leaves them feeling excluded, undermined or “less than,” insisting that mom communities should uplift women instead of turning motherhood into a popularity contest.
As online sleuths dissect every post, like and unfollow, the saga fuels a wider conversation about performative motherhood, constant comparison on social media and the darker side of Hollywood’s glossy “mom squads.”
