Ashley Tisdale French's unfiltered commentary on being iced out of a "toxic" mom group has caught the attention of many fellow celebrities. In January 2026, Ashley - who shares two daughters with husband Christopher French - raised eyebrows with an essay for The Cut titled "Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group" as she candidly recalled feeling excluded from a group of friends. "I remember being left out of a couple of group hangs, and I knew about them because Instagram made sure it fed me every single photo and Instagram Story," she wrote.
