The so-called “mom-group drama” has officially pulled in Meghan Trainor. On Jan. 8 the singer-mom to Barry, 2, and Riley, 4½-shared a tongue-in-cheek TikTok captioned “☕️☕️☕️ #stilldontcare,” soundtracked by her upcoming single “Still Don’t Care.”
What the TikTok Shows
The clip is simple: Trainor sits at her computer, types, then throws shocked glances at the screen. On-screen text reads, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama,” poking fun at how she supposedly learned about the controversy.
- Trainor never names Ashley Tisdale
- The post arrived three weeks after Tisdale’s essay for The Cut blew up online
- Her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, has not publicly weighed in
The Original Essay
Ashley Tisdale French’s first-person piece, posted to her blog in Nov. 2025 and re-published Jan. 1, said she left her mom clique after feeling iced out:
- Invites dried up
- She was excluded from a party planned during her daughter’s birthday
- The dynamic reminded her of high-school cliques
Though Tisdale never identified anyone, fans matched old Instagram photos to a circle that includes:
- Meghan Trainor
- Hilary Duff
- Mandy Moore
- Food blogger Gaby Dalkin
Other Reactions
Matthew Koma, Duff’s husband, mocked the saga on Instagram Stories Jan. 6, sharing a selfie beside a houseplant and a fake Cut headline that labeled him “the most self-obsessed tone-deaf person on earth.”
Dalkin hinted at the chatter Jan. 7 on Threads:
“Slowly coming back online after 2 weeks of family time… What did I miss??? 😆😆😆😆.”
A source close to the moms told News Of Los Angeles the rift boiled down to a “misalignment of values” and that friendships simply drifted apart.
Key Takeaways
- Trainor broke her silence with humor rather than a statement
- Tisdale’s story resonated with parents who’ve felt excluded
- No other celeb moms have issued formal responses yet
The episode underscores how even A-list parents navigate everyday playground politics-just with millions of onlookers.
