Former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em><\/a> star Crystal Kung Minkoff<\/strong><\/a> is weighing in on the ongoing mom group drama in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, probably, 70 percent of the mom group because we all went to preschool together. We\u2019re all the same group,\u201d Minkoff, 42, said during the Monday, January 12, episode of her \u201cHumble Brag\u201d podcast<\/a>, while talking with Million Dollar Listing<\/em><\/a> star Tracy Tutor<\/strong>. \u201cOne went to the same high school as us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minkoff briefly explained the situation to Tudor, 50, noting that it got \u201cso big\u201d after Tisdale, 40, wrote an essay about leaving her \u201ctoxic mom group\u201d<\/a> for The Cut<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s everywhere everyone\u2019s talking about it,\u201d Minkoff said, telling listeners she was going to be \u201cbroader\u201d about the discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to give too much tea about it because it\u2019s their personal stuff. I just found it really interesting,\u201d Minkoff continued. \u201cI posted on Threads the other day a joke, like, \u2018Oh, this is so 2021, I already went through this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAshley Tisdale French\u2019s unfiltered commentary on being iced out of a \u201ctoxic\u201d mom group has caught the attention of many fellow celebrities. In January 2026, Ashley \u2014 who shares two daughters with husband Christopher French \u2014 raised eyebrows with an essay for The Cut titled \u201cBreaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group\u201d as she candidly [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

People online started linking Minkoff to Tisdale after the then-Bravo star revealed that she lost \u201c14 friends\u201d after making her RHOBH<\/em> debut in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I found interesting is that Ashley\u2019s story was that she left the group, and my story is [that] I didn\u2019t leave the group,\u201d Minkoff recalled. \u201cI did the show, and they just said \u2014 I did a whole episode about this so it\u2019s not untold \u2014 they all went against me and dropped me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minkoff shares kids Max, 13, and Zoe, 10, with husband Rob Minkoff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Minkoff explained on Monday\u2019s podcast episode that Tisdale is \u201cgetting all the heat\u201d because it\u2019s a \u201csuper celeb group,\u201d which reportedly includes Hilary Duff<\/strong>, Mandy Moore<\/strong> and Meghan Trainor<\/strong>, among others. A rep for Tisdale denied speculation<\/a> that the essay was about the A-listers, but Minkoff isn\u2019t convinced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wonder, what was she thinking was gonna happen?\u201d Minkoff said of Tisdale<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s not my group. I just know them all because we were all the same preschool. I remember there [were] issues then. Someone wasn\u2019t included.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minkoff added, \u201cI do think that if that was happening to her, she wasn\u2019t reading it wrong. You know, if you\u2019re being pushed out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minkoff revealed she did \u201cmessage\u201d one of the alleged toxic moms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018I gotta know what\u2019s going on.\u2019 They said, \u2018It\u2019s so ironic that we\u2019re the toxic ones and she\u2019s on her own,\u2019\u201d the RHOBH<\/em> alum continued. \u201cI have mixed feelings about it, because I know this group. I don\u2019t know Ashley at all. I\u2019ve met Ashley a couple times, but I don\u2019t know her at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAshley Tisdale French set off a firestorm with her once-tight circle of celebrity moms after she abruptly left the group and proceeded to write an essay about former friends\u2019 \u201ctoxic\u201d behavior. \u201cThe root of the issues was that some of the women just became closer friends with each other, and Ashley started to feel left [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Minkoff noted that Tisdale is getting \u201ca lot of s*** right now\u201d because people like Duff are \u201cso beloved\u201d in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
