Meghan Trainor appears to throw shade at Ashley Tisdale's 'mom group' issue
American singer Meghan Trainor appeared to share her non-verbal opinion on Ashley Tisdale's "mom group drama" that has recently been the subject of entertainment news sites.
On Thursday, Jan. 8, Trainor posted a TikTok video showing her typing on a mechanical keyboard and looking preoccupied as she glanced up at what was supposed to be a computer screen. She captioned the video, "me finding out about the apparent mom group drama." As if to clarify her stand on the issue, she had her song "Still Don't Care" playing in the background, too.

For entertainment fans, the video looked like Trainor's response to Tisdale sharing how she decided to leave a "toxic mom group" recently.
In her blog By Ashley French, Tisdale, who now goes by her married name, wrote an essay titled "You're Allowed to Leave Your Mom Group."
The entrepreneur went on to describe how she felt increasingly disconnected from a group of mothers she initially enjoyed being around, believing she had found a "village of moms. The entrepreneur followed up her blog with an opinion piece published on The Cut where she wrote about how the group excluded her from meet-ups. After she decided to just leave the group, she sent out a text message to the moms, many of whom tried to assuage her doubts albeit seemingly halfheartedly.
Although Tisdale mentioned no names, eagle-eyed followers pointed out that she may have been talking about a group that included fellow celebrities Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore. Photos shared on social media by Entertainment Tonight showed Tisdale having fun on a moms-only getaway with Duff and Trainor. She also apparently unfollowed Duff and Moore on social media.
Her representative denied Tisdale was talking about anyone specific, saying she wrote her essay just to put the spotlight on the issue of social isolation in peer groups.
Still, many of Trainor's TikTok followers said the singer's video validated their opinion on Tisdale's essays.
"This proves Ashley's point," wrote one.
"Ashley we get you girl," wrote another.
"This is giving leader of the mean moms group," said another user.
Also seemingly taking a dig at French's issue was Duff's husband Matthew Koma. On Wednesday, Jan. 7, the music producer went on Instagram Stories to share a parody of The Cut's cover. He added the headline, "When You're The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers." For the subhead, he wrote, "A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father's Eyes."
