The Flight Attendant star, who shares two-year-old daughter Matilda with fiancé Tom Pelfrey, let her thoughts be known during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday.
Cuoco, 40, was promoting her new four-part thriller series Vanished, but when the conversation turned to Tisdale, the mom-of-one didn’t hold back.
When a fan asked the actress for her opinion on the situation, Cuoco said: 'I mean, if you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby.'
Cohen seconded that by saying: 'Right?'
'I don’t think we have to talk about it,' continued The Big Bang Theory alumna, who's also an ordained minister who officiated her sister Briana's New Year's Eve wedding.

Tisdale (pictured on Wednesday with daughter Jupiter) ignited a frenzy last month when she wrote an essay detailing her fallout with a group of Hollywood moms she was once friends with
Cohen stoked the fires by adding: 'Like, write an essay about it.'
'You don’t have to do that,' countered Cuoco. 'Just leave… find a new group.'
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Jayne was also a guest on the segment, and being well-rehearsed in the dramas among the housewives, chimed in, 'Find someone else.'

Cuoco agreed with a simple, 'Yeah.'
Tisdale, 40, ignited a frenzy last month when she wrote an essay for The Cut detailing her fallout with a group of Hollywood moms with whom she was once friends.
While Tisdale — who shares daughters, Jupiter, four, and Emerson, one, with husband Christopher French — never mentioned any of the women by name, fans were convinced she was taking aim at Duff's mom crew, which includes fellow stars Meghan Trainor and Mandy Moore, though a rep for Tisdale has denied that they were the targets.
'To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),' Tisdale wrote in her essay for The Cut.
'But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive — for me anyway.'

Cuoco's pals seemingly poked fun at Tisdale's 'toxic mom group' drama as they posted about the importance of supporting their own 'ride or die' squad (front: Cuoco and daughter Matilda, Lacey Chabert, Ali Fedotowsky; back: Ashley Jones and Kimberley J. Brown)
Ashley had previously raved about her 'village of moms' after welcoming her first daughter Jupiter in 2021 (front: Gaby Dalkin and Meghan Trainor; middle: Janice Gott, Kelsey Deenihan, Hilary Duff and Samii Ryan; back: Amanda Kaplan)
At the time, fans noticed that the article arrived shortly after she unfollowed both Duff and Moore on Instagram.

Days after Tisdale's essay made headlines, Cuoco’s own mom group came out in support of their 'village' with hashtags like they 'lift each other' and 'women supporting women.'
'Mom groups are having a real moment on the interweb this week,' actress Ashley Jones wrote alongside a carousel of photos with Cuoco and other mom friends, adding: 'Shoutout to my village, without whom I could be very lost and lonely. Tag your supportive ride or die mom group!
'I miss them all this little, but so grateful we had each other during this stage —-and every stage. #lifteachother #womensupportingwomen **not all are pictured, but all who are pictured are loved #momgroup.'
