Ashley Tisdale Shares Empowering Message Amid “Toxic” Mom Group Drama

by

Ashley Tisdale is channeling her inner warrior.

Following the public discussion sparked by her essay about leaving a difficult mothers’ group, the singer known as “He Said She Said” seemed determined to concentrate on her work, hinting at a new project for her lifestyle brand, Being Frenshe.

Ashley, 40, showcased her yoga skills in an Instagram video posted on January 9th. She gracefully transitioned from Warrior II to Reverse Warrior, her form highlighted against a desert landscape.

She shared a short video clip with the message, ‘Find your strength within,’ and announced that something new from her brand would be released on February 1st.

Just days before, actress Dylan Sprouse, who has two daughters, Jupiter, age 4, and Emerson, 16 months, with her husband Christopher French, explained why she stopped spending time with her mom friends. She said she slowly felt excluded because she noticed they were often getting together without inviting her, and she saw it happening on social media.

Although Ashley didn’t mention any names, people online quickly realized she had previously posted pictures with celebrities like Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor, and Mandy Moore. However, Ashley’s representative later told TMZ that the essay wasn’t about any of them, and that online interpretations were inaccurate.

Despite this, people continued to react to the article. Hilary’s husband, Matthew Koma, even seemed to respond directly to the High School Musical star. On January 6th, he shared a proposed headline on his Instagram Story: “When You’re The Most Self-Obsessed and Out-of-Touch Person on Earth, Other Moms Focus on Their Kids: A Father’s Perspective on a Mom Group.”

Okay, so I’ve been keeping up with everything happening online, and I have to admit, I was just as surprised as everyone else when Ashley’s piece went viral! I actually made a little TikTok about it – you know, that classic ‘me finding out’ face while typing – because the whole ‘mom group drama‘ situation was definitely a shocker. It’s just one of those things you see and think, ‘Wow, this is really happening!’

In January 2024, Bobby addressed speculation about a disagreement with Tan, following his announcement in November 2023 that he was leaving Queer Eye after eight seasons. (Bobby is pictured second from left.)

He assured Vanity Fair that he and Tan are doing okay. He explained they went through a personal issue, but it’s separate from their work on the show and wasn’t related to a romantic connection. He wanted to make that clear.

In March 2024, Tan addressed claims that he tried to get his friend Jeremiah Brent to replace Bobby on the show Queer Eye.

Netflix and the production team held extensive auditions. I didn’t recommend my friend for the role, but they ultimately landed it because they were the most qualified. I also want to be clear that I didn’t help them get the job by having anyone else removed from consideration, as he explained on Instagram.

During a September 2023 game of “Stir the Pot” with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, on TopMob News, Sharon Osbourne revealed that actor Danny Masterson, known from “That ’70s Show,” was the rudest celebrity she’d ever encountered. She described him as a very rude and unpleasant person.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that Ashton seemed annoyed when he was a guest on The Talk in 2014, after she mispronounced his name.

She remembered him asking, ‘Who are you and what have you accomplished in this field?’ She responded sharply, telling him, ‘Don’t underestimate me, because I’ll completely overwhelm you.’ She finished by saying, ‘You have no idea who you’re talking to.’

As a lifestyle expert, I remember the buzz around August 2022 when things got a little heated online. It all started when Brittany Aldean, Jason Aldean’s wife, posted a video on Instagram celebrating her femininity and thanking her parents for not allowing her to transition during a phase where she preferred traditionally masculine things. That post sparked a pretty public disagreement with Cassadee Pope and Maren Morris, and a lot of conversation followed.

In a 2022 TikTok trend, JoJo Siwa called Candace Cameron Bure the “rudest” celebrity she’d met, explaining that Bure had once refused to pose for a photo with her at a red carpet event. Soon after, Cameron Bure apologized publicly, saying she regretted hurting Siwa’s feelings when she was eleven and admitting she felt bad about not taking the picture.

Candace and the other person resolved their differences. However, when asked months later if her network, Great American Family, would ever feature same-sex couples as the main characters in its holiday movies, she said it wouldn’t, explaining that the network would continue to focus on traditional marriage.

JoJo, who publicly shared they are part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, responded to the actress’ comment on Instagram, calling it “rude and hurtful to an entire community.”

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover art for her band Hole in a promotional photo without acknowledging the source. Olivia responded with a message of support, saying, “Love u and live through this sooooo much.” Courtney then playfully replied, “Olivia – you’re welcome. My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London! DM me for details! I look forward to reading your note [winking face emoji].”

While on Watch What Happens Live, the actor from Happy Days explained why he and the star of Forrest Gump didn’t get along while filming the 1989 movie Turner & Hooch.

I directed the movie for thirteen days, and then Jeff Katzenberg, the producer, called me into his office and told me to pack up and go home, saying I had everything I needed.

Winkler and Hanks’ dog seemed to get along very well. “I really loved that dog,” Winkler said.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Anyone who watched The Hills likely remembers that famous line from Lauren during the season three premiere. The drama between them started when Heidi began dating her future husband, Spencer Pratt. It really exploded when Lauren claimed Heidi and Spencer spread a false rumor about her and Jason Wahler making a sex tape.

Tyrese and Dwayne Johnson had a public falling out after the release date for Fast & Furious 9 was delayed until April 2020. On the same day, a spin-off movie featuring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham was announced, set to release in 2019. Shortly after, Tyrese said he would leave Fast 9 if Dwayne Johnson was still involved.

Tyrese recently discussed the long-standing conflict with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, telling Van Lathan on the The Red Pill podcast that he still hasn’t spoken to Johnson directly, though they plan to. He did, however, speak with one of Johnson’s producing partners, but not with Johnson himself.

Tyrese admitted he shouldn’t have publicly shared frustrations on behalf of others involved with the franchise, saying it was unprofessional and a mistake he takes responsibility for. He explained he was the only one who spoke out, and that was his fault.

No more bad blood here.

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry had a long-running public disagreement, rumored to be the inspiration behind Swift’s song “Bad Blood.” The conflict, which supposedly began due to a disagreement over a dancer and rivalry during concert tours, was resolved when Perry sent Swift an olive branch as a peace offering before Swift’s Reputation Tour began.

Taylor shared on Instagram that she found a real olive branch in her dressing room, saying it meant a lot to her.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For years, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, stars of Sex and the City, successfully dismissed rumors of a disagreement. However, those rumors resurfaced when Kim chose not to participate in a third movie and made some pointed remarks about her co-star.

During a September 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Sarah Jessica Parker how she felt about Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that they were never truly friends, only coworkers.

She said she was just devastated, explaining that they had talked about it all week. She was really bothered by something because her memory of what happened was completely different.

It’s definitely sad, but I believe what truly connects us is the shared experience we had. It started as a professional project, but over the years, it became something deeply personal. I’m hoping that the strength of those years, and the special connection we all felt, will outweigh any recent disagreements. It was a privilege to be a part of something so meaningful for so long.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

Elton John and Madonna have been publicly disagreeing since 2004. The conflict began when Elton, while accepting an award, sharply criticized Madonna’s live performances. He famously said he didn’t believe lip-syncing should be considered a live act, and even jokingly suggested performers who lip-sync should face consequences, given the price fans pay for concert tickets.

The actress, formerly known for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, caused a disagreement with the show’s creator back in 2008 when she asked to no longer be considered for an Emmy Award. She explained that she didn’t think the storylines she was given were strong enough to deserve a nomination.

Shonda Rhimes discussed Katherine’s choice in a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter. She admitted it was both hurtful and expected. “When people show you their true colors, pay attention,” Rhimes explained. “I’ve really taken that to heart, and it’s helped me a lot.”

The fight between Nicki and Cardi at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party during New York Fashion Week became a major news story. A month later, Cardi publicly explained what started the argument with Nicki.

Cardi B recently told W magazine that someone has been repeatedly criticizing her. She explained that she’d talked to this person twice before and thought they’d resolved the issue, but the criticism continued.

The conflict truly escalated when Cardi B noticed Nicki Minaj had seemingly liked, then unliked, a tweet criticizing Cardi’s skills as a mother. Nicki has stated she didn’t actually interact with the tweet.

Cardi B explained that she chose to be with her daughter instead of pursuing a very profitable Bruno Mars tour, potentially earning millions. She emphasized how much she loves her daughter and considers herself a dedicated mother. She was upset that someone without children would criticize her choices, and she pointed out that opportunities to meet artists are rare – she wouldn’t get another chance encounter like the one that led to the situation people were discussing.

The conflict between Kanye West and Taylor Swift began in 2009 when he interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. They eventually reconciled and became friends, but their relationship fell apart in 2016 after Kanye released his song “Famous,” which included a reference to Taylor.

Just before the Grammys in February 2025, Kanye West began following only Taylor Swift on Instagram. He didn’t offer any explanation for the action, and Swift didn’t publicly acknowledge it.

“I don’t know her.”

The supposed rivalry between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez has been talked about for over 15 years. It began during an interview when Mariah was asked about other singers, and when asked about Jennifer Lopez, she simply stated, “I don’t know her.”
