Ashley Tisdale was spotted running errands alone after leaving her “toxic” mom group.
During Friday’s outing in Malibu, she wore a pale pink sweatshirt, brown leggings, sneakers, and appeared to be trying to keep her look modest by donning large shades.
According to footage obtained by TMZ, Tisdale was on the phone with someone and covered his mouth so he couldn’t hear the conversation.
When asked by the outlet about the mommy drama, the “High School Musical” star, 40, kept her head down, avoided the question and hurried to her car.
Tisdale’s solo errand marks her first public outing since last week’s essay for The Cut in which she voiced criticism of the former A-list mom group, whose members include Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor.
Tisdale, who has daughters Jupiter, 4, and Emerson, 1, with her husband Christopher French, accused the members of excluding her from group gatherings and acting “too high school” for her.
She further criticized the anonymous group in a subsequent blog post, writing that the “ugly” group’s “mean girl behavior” and isolation left her feeling “hurt, exhausted, and left behind” over time.
The essay has since sparked a social media war, with some members and their husbands speaking out and condemning her accusations.
Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, appeared to mock Tisdale’s Cut essay on his Instagram Stories days after it was published, and appeared to admit that he had been bashing his wife and her friends.
His fake headline read: “Mom Group Tells Everything Through Dad’s Eyes: When you’re the most self-centered tone-deaf person on the planet, other moms tend to shift their focus to the actual toddler.”
Traynor posted a TikTok on Thursday in which she spoke out about the drama and suggested she didn’t know there were issues involving mothers’ groups.
Fans have speculated on a number of reasons why the group of moms allegedly ousted the former Disney Channel star, with many suggesting that politics was the culprit.
But when there is a prevailing theory that Tisdale’s sympathetic response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination led to her ouster, a source exclusively told Page Six on Thursday, “It’s not just one thing, it’s a million things.”
Another source said the “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” alums were “intolerable” and the breakup of their friendship “has been going on for a long time.”
“Matthew gave her what she wanted,” the source added, referring to Koma’s poignant Instagram Story.
Since her essay was published, Tisdale has remained silent. On Friday, she posted a cryptic message on Instagram about finding strength as the drama intensifies.
