Meghan Trainor Jokes About Viral “Mom Group Drama” After Ashley Tisdale French Essay

Meghan Trainor is finally reacting to the internet’s latest celebrity mom drama — and she’s doing it with humor.

On Thursday, Jan. 8, the 32-year-old singer shared a TikTok video poking fun at the viral conversation sparked by an essay written by Ashley Tisdale French for The Cut. Trainor is rumored to have been part of the same mom friend group discussed in the essay.

In the short clip, Meghan Trainor sits at her computer, typing and staring at the screen in exaggerated shock. Text over the video reads, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama.” The post is set to her new song Still Don’t Care, from her upcoming album Toy with Me, due out April 24.

She kept the caption just as cheeky, writing, “☕️☕️☕️ #stilldontcare.”

What started the drama?

The situation began after Tisdale French, 40, published a deeply personal essay describing her experience leaving a mom friend group she felt had become “toxic.” She first shared the story as a blog post in November 2025 before it was picked up by The Cut on Jan. 1.

In the essay, Tisdale French explained that the group initially felt like a lifeline — a “village” of women going through the same stage of motherhood. But over time, she noticed a shift. Invitations slowed, she felt excluded from gatherings, and she described the emotional experience as feeling like she was “back in high school.”

Although she never named names, fans quickly connected the dots after resurfaced photos showed her socializing with other celebrity moms, including Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, Gaby Dalkin, and Trainor.

Reactions start rolling in

While Duff and Moore have stayed silent so far, Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, appeared to respond with sarcasm. He posted a parody image on Instagram Stories mimicking Tisdale French’s The Cut photo, complete with a fake headline criticizing self-obsession and a tongue-in-cheek subhead: “A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father’s Eyes.”

Koma even added, “Read my new interview with @TheCut,” making it clear he wasn’t taking the situation too seriously.

Food blogger Dalkin also seemed to reference the drama indirectly, posting on Threads, “What did I miss???” after returning from a holiday break.

“A misalignment of values”

As the story continued to spread online, a source close to the group tried to cool things down, saying the situation wasn’t as dramatic as it seemed.

“It was a misalignment of values that Ashley decided to make public,” the source said, adding that friendships naturally change over time and that the situation didn’t require a major fallout.

For her part, Trainor appears to be brushing off the noise. As her TikTok suggests, she’s aware of the chatter — but not losing sleep over it.
