Becca Tobin labeled Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, a “loser” for interfering in Ashley Tisdale’s critique of a “toxic” mom group. On her “Ladygang” podcast, the “Glee” star discussed Tisdale’s viral essay in The Cut, where Tisdale described “mean girl” behavior without naming specific members. Fans speculated the group included Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor. Koma responded by posting a satirical mock-up of himself on The Cut’s cover with a disparaging headline targeting Tisdale’s character.
Tobin suggested the group conflict could stem from parenting differences but sharply condemned Koma’s involvement. “There’s no loser here except Hilary Duff’s husband,” she stated, calling his actions “gross” and attention-seeking since Tisdale never identified anyone. Co-host Jac Vanek noted Koma often stirs drama online, to which Tobin added he was “attacking a woman” in a “tacky” manner. She emphasized, “She goes low, and he goes lower,” expressing disapproval of his approach.
Meanwhile, Duff appeared unaffected, smiling during a Los Angeles outing with her 1-year-old daughter, Townes. She shares three children with Koma and a son, Luca, 13, with ex-husband Mike Comrie. Duff has not publicly addressed the controversy.
