US EditionAshley Tisdale: Actress and Singer Says She Quit Her 'Toxic Mom Group'
Ashley Tisdale left a celebrity mom group after feeling excluded and facing toxic dynamics resembling high school bullying, sharing her story to highlight challenges in parenting circles.
- On Jan. 1, Ashley Tisdale, 40, published a personal essay in The Cut detailing her departure from a celebrity mom group and her recent public change to Ashley French.
- After her first child during the pandemic, the celebrity mom group formed as mothers sought support and playdates, and Tisdale initially felt energized, certain she'd found her village among working mothers.
- Tisdale tracked omissions on Instagram and in group text chains, noticing hangouts she wasn’t invited to and cliques forming after another mom was frozen out, leading her to describe the dynamic as toxic and exit.
- Public reaction ranged from online sleuthing to supportive outreach as trolls and 'wannabe online sleuths' emerged, while many women messaged her sharing emotional stories and feeling seen; she no longer follows Hilary Duff or Mandy Moore but still follows Meghan Trainor on Instagram.
- The essay encourages mothers to prioritize family wellbeing as Tisdale said walking away protected her family and mental health and modeled speaking up for her daughters Jupiter, 4, and Emerson, 1.
