Hilary Duff’s husband eviscerates ‘self obsessed’ and ‘tone deaf’ Ashley Tisdale over toxic mom group drama

Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, seemingly shaded Ashley Tisdale amid her “toxic” mom group accusations.

The Grammy winner took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday with a fake mocked-up cover of himself on the cover of New York Magazine’s The Cut.

Atop the portrait, in which he struck a thoughtful pose, a headline read, “A mom group tell all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”

He added in a sarcastic caption, “Read my new interview with @thecut.”

A rep for Tisdale did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

The seeming shade came after Tisdale, 40, published a scathing essay for The Cut, in which she called out members of her star-studded mom group for being “mean” and “toxic.” 

In the viral essay, she accused the group — which includes A-listers Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor — of excluding her from activities.

Due to the group feeling “too high school” and herself feeling “not cool enough” for them, Tisdale said she ditched the mom group.

The Disney Channel alum reflected on “sitting alone one night after getting [her] daughter to bed … feeling totally lost as to what [she] was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out.”

Tisdale, who shares daughters Jupiter, 4, and Emerson, 1, with husband Christopher French, recalled texting the group, “This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”

The “High School Musical” actress also wrote that she ended her ties to the group when the “dynamic stopped being healthy and positive.”

In a subsequent personal blog post, Tisdale divulged that the experience left her feeling “drained.”

She also wrote a blog post divulging that she felt “drained” by the group.

“I realized that there were group text chains that didn’t include everyone, which led to cliques forming within the larger group,” she wrote.

“And after the third or fourth time of seeing social media photos of everyone else at a hangout that I didn’t get invited to, it felt like I wasn’t really part of the group after all.”

Though she didn’t name names in either piece, Tisdale was notably absent from photos from the group’s fall getaway to the Hotel El Roblar in Ojai, Calif.

A snap shared by Janice Gott showed herself posing with pals including Moore and Duff during the October vacation.

A member of the mom group, meanwhile, seemingly responded to Tisdale’s essay with a pointed social media post on Tuesday.

Clothing designer Sami Ryan reposted a clip of a man opening a door while lip syncing the words to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Her.”

“I don’t care if these bitches don’t like me, ’cause, like, I’m pretty as f–k,” the rapper sings,

“2026 mood,” Ryan added atop the clip.
