In a biting Instagram Story, Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma parodied Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay about quitting a “toxic mom group,” escalating Hollywood’s latest parenting-group drama.
> At a Glance
> – Koma, 38, posted a Photoshopped image of himself on Tisdale’s body alongside a fake Cut headline: “The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth.”
> – The spoof follows Tisdale’s Jan. 5 Cut essay recounting feeling excluded by fellow moms and choosing to leave the group.

> – Why it matters: The clash spotlights how public reflections on private parenting circles can trigger celebrity backlash and debate over mom-group dynamics.
Koma shared the doctored photo Tuesday, Jan. 6, showing himself in Tisdale’s exact pose-on a couch, houseplant nearby, wearing all-black and rose-tinted sunglasses. He added the Cut logo and the satirical sub-headline, “A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father’s Eyes,” captioning it, “Read my new interview with @TheCut.”
Inside Tisdale’s Essay
Tisdale’s Cut piece framed her exit as self-care, urging moms to exit friendships that feel hurtful. She wrote that repeated social-media photos of group outings she wasn’t invited to made her realize “this group had a pattern of leaving someone out. And that someone had become me.”
She never named the women, stressing instead that “friendships, like all relationships, have seasons.”
Koma’s Jab
Koma offered no additional commentary beyond the image and mock headline, leaving followers to interpret the dig. Representatives for both stars have not replied to requests for comment from News Of Los Angeles.
