Ashley Tisdale's Shocking Reckoning with Toxic Celebrity Mom Group

In a scathing essay published on the Cut, actress Ashley Tisdale exposed the dark underbelly of her former celebrity mom group, labeling them "toxic" in the process. The Disney alum, 40, revealed that she was excluded from social events and felt like an outcast among her so-called friends.

Tisdale's bombshell came after a group trip to Hotel El Roblar in Ojai, California, where she wasn't pictured in any of the Instagram posts shared by MUU founder Janice Gott. Instead, snaps showed the group lounging by the pool, wearing matching green bathrobes, and engaging in family-style meals and games.

The photos were captioned with Gott's tongue-in-cheek "Mommies said BRB!" – a tone that belied the supposed camaraderie among the group. However, Tisdale alleged that she was left out of hangouts, felt like she didn't fit in, and even received hurtful messages from her former friends.

Tisdale claimed to have sat alone at night, feeling "totally lost" as to what she was doing wrong to be excluded. She later texted her former friends, saying that the group's dynamic had become toxic and that she wanted out.

The actress also detailed her estrangement from the group in a blog post titled, "You're Allowed to Leave Your Mom Group." In it, she reflected on the "mean-girl behavior" that seemed to define their interactions, including gossiping behind people's backs and excluding members of the group.

Tisdale didn't specify names, but sources close to the situation suggest that her former friends Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff are no longer in touch with her. However, Meghan Trainor remains a part of the friend group – or at least, she used to be until Tisdale's public rebuke.

The shocking turn of events has left fans and former friends reeling. As one can't help but wonder: what went wrong for this supposedly tight-knit group of celebrity moms?

OMG, you guys! Ashley Tisdale just spilled the tea on her toxic celeb mom squad I'm so here for her, girl! She was literally left out of all the fun and felt like she didn't belong. That's some serious shade-throwing going on, Janice Gott . And can we talk about how rude it is to caption those pics with "Mommies said BRB"? Like, what even is that? It's just a bunch of entitled moms being extra and excluding someone who doesn't fit in. Ashley spoke out and now she's free from all that drama . And honestly, I think we can all relate to feeling like we don't belong sometimes . Thanks for sharing your truth, Ashley - you're a total rockstar!

I feel like these "celebrity mom groups" are just a reflection of our own personal struggles – we all wanna be part of the in-crowd, right? Ashley Tisdale's essay was super brave, but also kinda sad. She sounded so lost and alone, even with people who were supposed to be her friends . And the photos from that trip are just... wow – it looks like they were having a blast without her! But hey, at least she's speaking out now and encouraging others to prioritize their own well-being . I hope Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff come around and apologize eventually . And Meghan Trainor is still cool, right?

omg u gotta feel so bad 4 ashley tisdale!! she was literally excluded from her own friend group lol i think whats crazy is that they thought they could just be all "mean girl" & get away with it... newsflash: toxic behavior dont pay off in the long run anyway, im glad ashley spoke out & told her side of the story its time for these girls 2 take responsibility 4 their actions maybe they can learn from each other

 

[Endless Hamster Invaders]

Wow ! I'm actually kinda interested in how some strong women like Ashley Tisdale, Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff & Meghan Trainor end up being super toxic to each other. Like, don't get me wrong, we've all had our own experiences with drama queens, but when it's your own "squad"... It just seems like a big ol' mess.

 

[Good]

I gotta say, Ashley Tisdale's come out swinging against those "mommies" ! Who knew being part of a so-called "friend group" could be like being trapped in some kind of toxic drama . It's crazy how one minute you're all about supporting each other, and the next, you're ghosting people or sending hurtful messages .

On the bright side, Ashley speaking out is really brave – it takes a lot to call out people you used to consider friends . And honestly, I think we can all relate to feeling like an outcast at some point in our lives . So let's take this as an opportunity to reflect on what goes wrong when friendships become toxic .

Maybe Ashley was right to leave the group and find her own way – sometimes, you gotta take a step back and focus on yourself . And hey, even though Mandy and Hilary aren't talking to her anymore, that's not entirely their fault . We can all learn from this situation and try to be more supportive and understanding of each other .

I mean, can you imagine feeling so excluded and left out by your supposed "friends" just because you don't fit in with their vibe? Ashley Tisdale's story is like a wake-up call for all us people-pleasers out there. We gotta remember that being around certain people doesn't mean we have to be part of the drama or the toxic behavior. It takes so much courage to speak out and break free from those kinds of situations. I'm sending Ashley all my love and respect for standing up for herself like that!

 

[Star Wars Baseba]

I'm still trying to process how someone can feel so excluded from their own friend group . Ashley Tisdale's essay is a total wake-up call – you gotta ask yourself, what kind of friendships are toxic enough to make you wanna sit alone at night feeling lost? It sounds like there was some major drama going on behind closed doors, with people gossiping and excluding others. And the worst part is, it all started with that "Mommies said BRB!" caption – talk about tone-deaf .

I feel for Ashley, though. She's speaking her truth now, and it's brave of her to share how she felt. It just goes to show that even in celebrity circles, nobody is immune to the pressure of social expectations . And honestly, I think we can all learn from this – what does a toxic friendship look like? How do you know if you're being left out or excluded?

 

[Angry Alie]

OMG, I'm low-key surprised by Ashley Tisdale's essay ! I mean, who knew being a part of a "mom group" could be so toxic ? It's like, you're all supposed to be supportive and fun, but it sounds like these girls were more drama than Disney magic . Ashley's feelings are totally valid, though - it's not okay to leave someone out or make them feel like they don't belong .

I'm also curious about what happened with Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff... did they get pulled in too? And what about Meghan Trainor - is she still on the "out" list? Either way, I think it's a great reminder to prioritize our own mental health and well-being . No more drama, please!

 

[Robot Insect Operativ]

I'm like totally shocked by Ashley Tisdale's essay, ya know? I mean, I've been part of online groups myself where people get all toxic and exclude others who don't fit in. It's like, super sad to see someone like Ashley go through that. And omg the photos she posted of those "mommies" lounging by the pool with matching green bathrobes... it looks like they were having a total blast without her! Anyway, I think we can all learn from Ashley's experience and just be more considerate to others, you know? We gotta look out for each other and not leave people feeling left out or hurt.

 

[Ultimat]

OMG I feel so bad for Ashley like how can u have a whole crew of friends and still exclude someone? I had that same problem in high school when I tried to join the cheer squad lol didn't make it cuz they wanted me 2 be more athletic but I was all about the dance moves anyway

anywayz back 2 Ashley, like what happened with Mandy & Hilary? did u guys have a fight or something? also can someone pls explain what's MUU? is that like a club or somethin?

 

[Little Hipp]

I mean, I've been in situations where we're all trying to be close, but sometimes it just feels like we're being super exclusive and hurtful to each other. Ashley Tisdale's story is like, totally relatable on some levels... you know how sometimes we'll post a group pic or share something that makes us feel connected, but then we realize someone's not even included? It can be so confusing and hurtful.

And honestly, I think it's easy to get caught up in these cliques and social groups, especially when we're young and trying to figure out who we are. But at the end of the day, it's all about being true to yourself and treating others with kindness... if you can't do that, then maybe this group just isn't for you.

I'm curious, though - what happened in Ashley Tisdale's case? Was she trying to fit in too much or was there something else going on?

 

[Misty Mart]

can you believe ashley tisdale just spilled the tea on her so-called "mom group"? i feel bad for her tho, being left out and feeling like an outcast is no joke. it's crazy how people can be so mean behind your back and then act all friendly in front of others . and omg those matching green bathrobes are just too extra lol. anyway, it's clear that the group dynamic was super toxic and it's not surprising that ashley wanted out. i'm glad she's speaking out about it tho, maybe it'll help others who might be going through similar experiences

 

[Sonic's Karate Safari]

The dynamics of celebrity friendships are truly a fascinating case study . It seems to me that Tisdale's account highlights the inherent flaws in a system where exclusivity and cliques become normalized. The fact that she felt like an outcast, despite being an integral part of this "mom group," is a stark reminder of how easily we can be duped into thinking that our social circles are built on genuine connections when, in reality, they're often constructed on shallow boundaries .

I must say that Tisdale's essay serves as a powerful critique of the toxic behaviors that can manifest within these types of groups. The notion that "mommies said BRB!" – while seemingly playful – belies a more sinister tone, one that is marked by exclusion and hurtful messages. It's a sobering reminder to reevaluate our own relationships and ensure that they're built on mutual respect and trust .

omg like i cant even believe ashley tisdale just spilled all the tea on her toxic celebrity mom group i feel so bad for her, she was literally left out and made to feel like an outcast. its crazy how people can be so fake and mean behind other ppl's backs, u know? and omg those instagram posts of them all lounging by the pool with matching green bathrobes lol what even is that . anyway ashley spoke up and now her friends are cut off from her which is super sad. i feel like we should all be supporting each other not excluding ppl who dont fit in

 

[Master Chief's Spelunkin]

I'm not surprised Ashley Tisdale spoke out about her toxic celeb mom group. If you think about it, being part of a "mom group" sounds like a recipe for drama and catty behavior. And honestly, those Instagram posts from Janice Gott do seem kinda gassy . I mean, who uses the phrase "Mommies said BRB!" in 2025? It just feels like they were trying too hard to be relatable and came off as insincere instead.

And let's be real, Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff being excluded from Tisdale's life doesn't exactly scream a close-knit group. I'm not saying they did anything wrong, but it's clear that something wasn't quite right in the dynamic of this so-called "mom group".

 

[Unsightly Unicorn]

Ugh, can we talk about the Cut website for a sec ? I mean, I love Ashley Tisdale's essay and all, but have you guys noticed how clunky their navigation is? Like, it takes forever to load and it looks like they ripped off some design elements from that one other forum I was on... anywayz back to the topic at hand - what happened with these so-called "mom groups"? It sounds super toxic . I get why Ashley wrote up about it, but can we also talk about how the whole Instagram post thingy is just kinda extra? Like, why share those snaps if you're not even gonna include her? And btw, Janice Gott's caption... lol what's with that tone tho?

 

[All-Ameri]

Ugh, I told you guys, celebrity culture is all about appearance vs reality ... like, seriously, who's really having fun when they're hiding the drama behind a "mommies said BRB" caption? Ashley Tisdale was low-key speaking truth to power, and those other moms were just too caught up in their own egos. I mean, Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff ghosting her? No thanks! Meghan Trainor's loyalty is whatever for now ... but at least she's not part of the toxic clique anymore.

And can we talk about how messed up it is to be excluded from social events just because you don't fit in? Like, I get that Tisdale might've come across as high-maintenance or something, but that's not an excuse for being hurtful. It's all about setting boundaries and treating others with respect, you know?

 

[Bored Bat]

Omg I feel so bad for Ashley Tisdale, like she was literally excluded from everything and didn't even know why . And the fact that they all went on a trip together and posted these "cute" pics without her... it's just not right . I can imagine how hurtful it must've been for her to be left out like that, especially when she was feeling lost and unsure about what was wrong with her. It makes me wanna ship Ashley and Meghan Trainor back together btw . Anyway, I'm glad Ashley spoke out and is trying to move on from all this toxic drama .

 

[Jamaican Fashion College]

These so-called "celebrity moms" are worse than a Kardashian family feud . Exclusion, mean-spirited comments... all because they couldn't handle not being the center of attention . Ashley Tisdale's bold move might just be what the group needed – a good shake-up !
