Hilary Duff's Revenge Prank Story: Cheap Wieners, Tuna, and One Very Bad Boy

Hilary Duff is out here proving that messing with her friends is a terrible idea. In a new Billboard interview, she recalled a late-teen revenge mission against a boy who had treated her friend badly. Her plan? Buy the cheapest, grossest cans of wieners and tuna available and spread the whole thing across his front lawn. She described it as“a little field day,”which is a beautifully understated way to describe a smell that probably lingered for a week.

Duff also called her wild nights“spicy”and“kind of evil,”and honestly, that’s a vibe. These days the actress and singer is a mom of four who just returned from a Mexico getaway with Mandy Moore and Gaby Dalkin, so the lawn prank era is officially behind her. But the interview also stirred up some friend-group drama, after Ashley Tisdale’s essay about leaving a“toxic mom group”had fans speculating about Duff. She addressed the chatter on Call Her Daddy, saying she felt sad and taken aback.

So what do we take from all this? Teenage Hilary was loyal to a fault, adult Hilary would probably hand you a garbage bag and a pair of gloves instead. Either way, the story is a reminder that the friend who plots revenge for you is a friend for life. We’re not naming names, but we all have one.
