Food blogger Gaby Dalkin is diving back into the chaotic world of social media, just in time to witness the unfolding drama involving Ashley Tisdale French and her mom group. After a two-week family break, Dalkin shared her return on Threads and quickly got caught up in Tisdale’s candid essay about feeling left out. In “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” she reveals how the dynamics of her once lively friend circle turned sour, and how she felt “frozen out” in a group where she once felt at home.
Tisdale French recalled the heart-wrenching moments when she realized she was being excluded from social outings, despite the constant Instagram reminders of her former friends’happy times. Her ultimate decision to step back and communicate her dissatisfaction to the group wasn’t without fallout. While she doesn’t call anyone out by name, the essay hints at a complicated bond with fellow celebrity moms, including Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore.
It seems like a classic case of high school drama, just with more children involved. As the story continues to catch fire online, former child star Christy Carlson Romano joined the conversation, emphasizing the importance of supportive friendships during motherhood. This mom-group drama may be an all-too-familiar tale for many, leaving us wondering—how do we navigate friendships that go from supportive to toxic in what feels like the blink of an eye?
