Mandy Moore has publicly praised Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, amid ongoing drama involving Ashley Tisdale. Moore shared a video on her Instagram Stories that Koma posted of her performing at a benefit concert for California wildfire survivors, calling him “one of the most talented and generous humans” she knows. She thanked Koma for providing her family shelter a year earlier when they evacuated after her home burned down in January 2025.
This show of support came hours after Koma mocked Tisdale’s recent essay in The Cut, where she criticized a “toxic” celebrity mom group for its exclusionary behavior. Koma parodied the article’s promo image with a satirical caption before deleting the post. Duff, meanwhile, has not addressed the controversy directly, instead sharing promotional content for her music and praising fellow mom group member Janice Gott.
Though Tisdale’s representative claimed her essay wasn’t about this specific group, sources suggest the rift had been building for some time. Tisdale has remained silent online, but her husband, Christopher French, shared cryptic messages about choosing when to engage in conflict. The fallout continues to simmer among the formerly close-knit circle.
