Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma has weighed in on the recent ‘Toxic Mom Group’ drama with his trademark sense of humor.
Koma took to Instagram on Tuesday amid speculation that Ashley Tisdale had fallen out with his wife Hilary over alleged mom-group tensions.
He poked fun of Tisdale’s recent essay in The Cut with a mock headline that read ‘When You’re the Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus to Their Actual Toddlers.’
It comes after Tisdale’s essay, called ‘Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,’ detailed her feelings of feeling frozen out by friends during her postpartum period.
The High School Musical alum had previously raved about her ‘village of moms,’ which included Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor, after welcoming her first daughter Jupiter in 2021.
Fans quickly speculated that the unnamed group included Duff and Moore, particularly after Tisdale unfollowed both women on Instagram.

Tisdale, who also shares a 16-month-old son Emerson with her composer husband Christopher French, joined the mom group created by longtime friend Duff, with the women sharing vacations, baby classes and playdates over the past four years.
However, Tisdale recently wrote about ‘breaking up with my toxic mom group,’ explaining she began to feel excluded during vulnerable postpartum months.
Expanding on a November 2025 post for her blog ByAshleyFrench, she later penned an article for The Cut, though she did not name any of the women involved.
She wrote that she started noticing she wasn’t invited to certain gatherings, which she later saw posted on Instagram.
‘It took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I’d left behind years ago,’ she wrote.
‘Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed thinking Maybe I’m not cool enough? All of a sudden I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out.’
And a member of Tisdale’s former mom group appeared to respond publicly following the star’s claims.
She said she ultimately texted the group after being excluded once again, writing: ‘This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.’
‘To be clear I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),’ Tisdale added. ‘But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive – for me anyway.’

While the actress has not publicly identified who she was referring to, fans noticed that the article arrived shortly after she unfollowed both Moore and Duff on Instagram.
Tisdale had once been a core member of the A-list circle.
Samii Ryan, a clothing designer and one of the women linked to the once-close-knit circle, raised eyebrows after reposting a video of a man dramatically opening his front doors while mouthing the lyrics to Megan Thee Stallion’s anthem Her.
‘I don’t care if these b*****s don’t like me, ’cause, like, I’m pretty as f**k,’ the track begins. ‘Just the other day, I heard a ho say. Matter of fact, what could a h** say? With a face like this and a b**ch this paid, s**t, what could a h** say?’
Ryan captioned the clip with the words ‘2026 mood,’ prompting fans to speculate the post was a pointed response to Tisdale’s recent comments.
She also shared a photo of an open book, posting a page that read: ‘Nothing in this book is known to be true/ It’s a reflection on what I’ve noticed/ Not facts so much as thoughts.
The passage continued: ‘Some ideas may resonate, others may not/ A few may awaken an inner knowing you forgot you had/ Use what’s helpful/ Let go of the rest.’
