Mandy Moore is breaking her silence on the “toxic mom group” drama that ignited after Ashley Tisdale‘s essay in The Cut earlier this year.
The This Is Us star made a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, where she shared her reaction to Tisdale’s claims that she had to leave her mom group because it was becoming toxic and she felt left out.
Though the High School Musical alum didn’t drop names, people online were quick to assume she was referring to Moore, Hilary Duff and Meghan Trainor, as they had been photographed together in what appeared to be the same friend group.
“It’s wild to have anybody talk about your life, and I know Hilary has sort of mentioned this too,” Moore said. “It’s like we both have grown up in this business and had people dissect who we are and the choices we make and all of that, but this was something altogether different and decidedly way more upsetting, you know what I mean? It just cuts to the core.”The actress, who shares three children with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, continued, “The most important thing in my life is being a kind person and like that legacy of kindness, and anyone even insinuating that that might not be the case, and with the company that I choose to keep is very upsetting. I’d say that was the biggest takeaway, sort of the shock of like, ‘Wow.'”
