The recent back-and-forth between Meghan Trainor and Ashley Tisdale over a viral essay has thrown the spotlight on mom culture in the celebrity world. It all kicked off when Ashley’s essay, addressing the so-called “toxic mom group,” prompted fans to speculate about which famous moms were involved, including Meghan. Knowing the pressure of social media, Ashley wasn’t about to let the drama hang in the air; she texted Meghan with a simple “my bad,” clarifying that there was no bad blood between them.
Meghan, who humorously admits to being a “bad mom friend” who often skips hangouts, was totally unfazed by the situation. She seems to roll with the punches, understanding that the whims of internet fandom can create unnecessary drama. While Meghan is used to the spotlight, the same can’t be said for some of the other moms who suddenly found themselves thrust into the public eye, leading to undesirable consequences. It just goes to show that even celebrity friendships can be affected by misunderstandings in this crazy, interconnected world of social media.
