Meghan Trainor speaks out on ‘mom group drama’ after Ashley Tisdale’s viral post
Meghan Trainor Addresses ‘Mom Group Drama’ Following Ashley Tisdale’s Revelations
Meghan Trainor has shared her thoughts on the recent ‘mom group drama.’ This comes after Ashley Tisdale French wrote an essay for The Cut, revealing her reasons for leaving her ‘toxic mom group.’
Ashley Tisdale’s Essay
In her essay, published on January 1, mother-of-two Ashley spoke about being ‘brought to tears’ during her time in the group. She compared the experience to high school cliques, which left her feeling ‘frozen out’ during a vulnerable period.
The 40-year-old actress, who has two children, Emerson, 15 months, and Jupiter, 4, with her husband Christopher French, urged readers not to speculate about the identities of those involved. She stated, ‘Whatever you think is true isn’t even close.’
Meghan Trainor’s Response
In response to the drama, the ‘All About That Bass’ singer posted a video on TikTok. The clip showed Meghan sitting at her computer, typing intensely while staring at the screen. The musician, who has two sons, Barry, 2, and Riley, 4, with her husband Daryl Sabara, captioned the video with three tea cup emojis and the hashtag ‘#stilldontcare,’ using her new single ‘Still Don’t Care’ as the audio.
Meghan is part of a well-known friend group that fans have speculated Ashley was referring to in her essay. This group also includes celebrities like Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore.
Hilary Duff’s Husband Responds
Meghan’s post follows Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, seemingly addressing the drama on his Instagram Stories. Matthew shared a fake magazine cover of himself with the headline: ‘A mom group tell-all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.’
In the caption, he wrote, ‘Read my new interview with @thecut.’ Hilary, known for her roles in Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire and the series Younger, married Matthew in 2019. They have three young daughters together.
Ashley’s Essay Details
In her post, Ashley shared that she initially felt she had ‘found her village,’ benefiting from the group’s support after the birth of her first daughter in 2021. However, changing dynamics in the group left her feeling ‘frozen out’ and ‘excluded.’
She eventually texted the friend group, stating, ‘This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore,’ and explained in the essay that she is much happier after leaving.
In a 2023 interview with HELLO!, Ashley emphasized the importance of a mother’s happiness for the sake of her children. ‘You can do small little things that can go a long way,’ she said. ‘A happy mom is so good for the baby and for the family. It’s something you shouldn’t feel bad about.’
