Hilary Duff Responds to Tisdale's Essay

Hilary Duff has broken her silence on Ashley Tisdale's recent essay concerning a "toxic mom group," a topic that ignited widespread fan speculation about Duff's involvement. In a new interview, Duff shared that intense public attention and personal life documentation are familiar to her, dating back to her teenage years.

She noted how social media, particularly TikTok, can amplify narratives beyond the actual events. Duff specifically refuted rumors suggesting teachers and mothers at her children's school disliked her, affirming her positive relationships with them.

Duff's husband, Matthew Koma, had previously expressed strong disapproval of Tisdale's essay, calling her "self-obsessed" and "tone deaf" on social media.

Tisdale's essay detailed her feelings of exclusion from a mom group during postpartum periods. While she did not name individuals, fans connected the essay to Duff and Mandy Moore, especially after Tisdale unfollowed them on Instagram. Tisdale had previously described this group, which included Duff, Moore, and Meghan Trainor, as her "village of moms."

Despite the drama, Duff highlighted the importance of her family and real-life experiences in grounding herself amidst public narratives.
