Dylan Efron defended Ashley Tisdale against all the “toxic” mom group drama.
Tisdale, who co-starred with Efron’s older brother Zac Efron in 2006’s “High School Musical,” made headlines when she published an essay about her breakup with the “Mean Girls” group of mom friends, including Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
Dylan, 33, was somewhat clueless when asked about the impact of the virus on Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” but insisted Tisdale wasn’t to blame.
“I try not to talk about things like that, so I don’t know too much. All I know is about Ashley. She’s been very nice to me since I was a kid,” he explained to a caller.
“So I can’t imagine her doing anything malicious towards the mom group. Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding? Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on.”
Host Cohen, who admits he loves stirring the pot, interjected: “It seems like it’s probably more than a misunderstanding.”
Dylan cringed and admitted, “Yes,” but then repeated, “Honestly, I don’t know what happened. All I can say is that she was very nice.”
The winner of “Traitors” Season 3, who went on to compete on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34, said she came up to the ballroom one night to “cheer” from the audience.
“Like, I don’t know where this drama is coming from,” he said, prompting Cohen, 57, to quip about his attendance on “DWTS.”
But he made sure to emphasize that he actually “loved her.”
Earlier this month, Tisdale, 40, wrote an article for the Cut in which she said she felt “not cool enough” after being banned from a mom group hangout and eventually walking away from that friendship.
Duff’s publicist initially claimed her client was referring to a different mom group, but Duff’s husband Matthew Koma confirmed that wasn’t the case after he clapped back at a questionable post mocking the “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” star.
It’s worth noting that while Tisdale no longer follows Duff and Moore on Instagram, he still follows Trainor.
