Kaley Cuoco’s celebrity mom friends are celebrating their close friendship as they publicly support one another. This comes after Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay criticizing her former “toxic” mom group sparked online discussions.
Actress Ashley Jones shared Instagram photos of her tight-knit mom circle on Wednesday, featuring Cuoco alongside Lacey Chabert, Ali Fedotowsky, Amy Davidson, and Kimberly J. Brown. The collection included playful group shots with their children, friend-only moments, and nostalgic pregnancy throwbacks.
“Mom groups are having a real moment online this week,” Jones captioned her post. “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 a little, but I’m grateful we had each other during this stage – and every stage.”
Jones’ celebration of female friendship arrived shortly after Tisdale described negative experiences in her former celebrity mom group in a viral essay for The Cut. Though Tisdale didn’t name members, fans identified Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor, and Mandy Moore from past photos. The actress claimed she felt excluded from gatherings, noting “this is too high school for me” when she eventually left the group.
A source familiar with the situation told Page Six the friend breakup had been inevitable, calling Tisdale “insufferable.” Meanwhile, Tisdale’s former group members showed public support for one another. Duff praised fellow mom Janice Gott on social media, while Duff’s husband Matthew Koma mocked Tisdale’s essay with a satirical magazine cover headline suggesting “self-obsessed” behavior. Moore later defended Koma as “one of the most talented and generous humans.”
Trainor reacted humorously to the drama via TikTok, mouthing “What?” while listening to her song “Still Don’t Care” with the caption: “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama.”
