“The View” Hosts Question Ashley Tisdale’s Public Take on “Toxic” Mom Group Drama

During Saturday’s episode of “The Weekend View,” the hosts of “The View” questioned Ashley Tisdale’s decision to share her recent “toxic” mom group drama in a public forum.

Co-host Joy Behar referenced the “High School Musical” star’s essay published in The Cut, where Tisdale recalled breaking ties with her so-called toxic mom group. She alleged that the group excluded her from hangouts, a move she described as “too high school,” and revealed she ended the friendship via a breakup text.

“Would you announce that you were leaving like that?” Behar asked her co-hosts. Sara Haines responded by calling Tisdale’s public confessions “the most high school part of this.” “Like, I would never write to a group and say, like, ‘Shame on all of you,’” Haines added. “You just drop out, you just go.”

While Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed that “toxic mom culture is a thing,” Ana Navarro questioned why people “have to go through all these steps” to cut off an unhealthy friendship. “Why can’t you just leave the conversation, and get it out of your head and out of your life?” Navarro said, mentioning that Whoopi Goldberg is known for simply “leaving the conversation” during the show’s group chats.

Behar expressed dismay over terms like “toxic moms” and “mean girls,” stating, “It’s all very anti-female.”

A representative for Ashley Tisdale did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Tisdale, 40, made headlines earlier this month after publishing her candid essay, in which she seemingly accused her former star-studded mom group of alienating her and making her feel “not cool enough.” Although she did not name anyone specifically, she is known to be part of an A-list mom group that includes celebrities such as Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff.

The drama seemingly sparked responses from within the circle. Matthew Koma, Hilary Duff’s husband, posted a cryptic Instagram Story implying that Tisdale is “self obsessed” and “tone deaf.” Meanwhile, Daryl Sabara, Meghan Trainor’s husband, offered a more measured perspective in an interview with TMZ, saying there’s “no drama over here” and expressing hope that Tisdale “is okay.”

An insider revealed to Page Six that the Disney Channel alum was frozen out by her former high-profile friends due to “a myriad of things, not just one specific” issue.

As the story develops, fans continue to watch closely how this high-profile fallout will unfold.
