Everyone will remember the fated day that Ashley Tisdale published her essay in The Cut titled "Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group." The "piece," if you will, set off a discourse across the internet, and had readers speculating that the mom group in question included none other than Hilary Duff. Who is speaking out about the debacle on Call Her Daddy.
"I felt really sad. I honestly felt really sad. I was pretty, pretty taken aback and felt just sad," she said, via Us Weekly. "I have so many groups of friends. I’m so lucky."
"I have my core group of friends who have been my ride or dies for 20 years … and I have tons of different groups of mom friends because I have four kids," she added, going on to say "It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of six women and all of their lives."

Hilary also responded to her husband, Matthew Koma, poking fun at Ashley's essay with the satirical headline "When You're the Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus to Their Actual Toddlers."
"Honestly, everything he does makes me laugh. So, I was like, ‘Oh my god. Oh my god.’ But I also don’t censor him and I don’t tell him what he can and can’t post," she said. "He is so fierce for me and I love him for that."
She concluded her musings on the drama with "I think it came at, like, the craziest time. The timing felt not great and I felt used."
