The drama of Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff and “toxic mothers”

Ashley Tisdale, singer and actress known for playing Sharpay Evans in ‘High School Musical’ and currently by the name Ashley French, has published an unmissable letter in The Cut in which she narrates her experience in a “group of toxic mothers” on social networks, from which she decided to leave because she felt excluded when she saw photos of them making plans to which she was not invited.

The letter has gone viral on social networks because it is understood that in the group to which Tisdale alludes there are three very well-known faces: Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor and Mandy Moore.

They had all established a close friendship linked to their motherhood within the world of Hollywood. It seems that, at some point, French stopped being taken into account for common plans and has decided to tell it in the aforementioned letter.

Although neither Duff, Trainor, nor Moore have responded directly to French’s writing, Matthew Koma, Duff’s husband and one of her main musical collaborators, has.

And he hasn’t done it just any way: he has uploaded a meme to Instagram recreating French’s cover for The Cut, including a headline designed for the occasion. In it, Koma portrays French as a self-centered and insensitive person: “When you are the most self-centered and insensitive person in the world, other mothers tend to redirect their attention toward the children.” We will continue to inform…
