Hilary Duff’s return is not boring at all. The American singer and actress is on tour to promote her first album in 11 years, ‘luck… or something’, but it is not the only topic she is dealing with. In her appearance on Alex Cooper’s ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, the artist denied Ashley Tisdale’s words about her “group of toxic mothers”: “How bad it is to read something that is not true.”
It all started a few weeks ago, when Tisdale – now also known as Ashley French – published a letter in The Cut in which she told how she felt excluded from what she called a “group of toxic mothers.” It went viral almost instantly after the public deduced that Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor and Mandy Moore are part of that group. Until now, the only person who had responded to the issue was Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma.
“I felt very sad, quite disconcerted,” Hilary confessed to the presenter. «I have a group of friends who have been my unconditional support for the last 20 years. And I have so many different groups of mothers because I have four children. So I thought: Phew! How bad to read something that is not true,” he continued. Duff also claimed to feel “used” by Tisdale’s words and their viral reach.
The author of ‘Roommates’ has been more restrained than her partner: “When you are the most self-centered person and disconnected from the reality of the world,” Koma wrote online in reference to Tisdale. Regarding her partner, Duff has assured that “everything he does makes me laugh” and that he does not try to tell him “what he can or cannot publish.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Duff also addressed her long and public feud with Lindsay Lohan, claiming that she was “my childhood nemesis”: “It’s been so long… Who cares? “No one cares anymore.” However, nothing remains of that rivalry: «Lindsay approached me once in a club and asked me: Are we okay? I replied that we are fine and we went to have a shot.
