It\u2019s been three weeks since Ashley Tisdale<\/strong> published an essay in The Cut announcing her departure<\/a> from her \u201ctoxic\u201d mom group; two weeks since the husband<\/a> of toxic mom group member Hilary Duff<\/strong> mocked Tisdale\u2019s essay, and a few days since toxic mom group member Meghan Trainor<\/strong> began posting silly little TikToks suggesting she knew nothing about any of this.<\/p>\n

But finally, the toxic mom group member we\u2019ve all been waiting to hear from has weighed in. Kind of. Barely. She actually didn\u2019t address it at all, just made some cryptic comments about friendships.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Mandy Moore<\/strong> has spoken. And I am licking up the crumbs of her carefully-navigated and PR-managed podcast interview like a stranded brown bear scraping for ants in the Mojave desert.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Cameron Rodgers\u2019 Conversations with Cam podcast, Moore discussed how some of her friendships have changed as her kids have gotten older.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you feel like you have seen a friendship sort of take a different course?\u201d Moore asked Rogers, before continuing, \u201cI have friends who have kids that are older, let\u2019s say. And I have found that the people I am closest with in my life right now are people who are kind of at the same chapter of their lives as parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore shares three kids, August \u201cGus,\u201d 4, Oscar \u201cOzzie,\u201d 3, and Louise, 16 months, with husband, Taylor Goldsmith.\u00a0<\/strong>But Tisdale also has a four-year-old, Jupiter, and a one-year-old, Emerson, with her husband, Christopher French<\/strong>. So, by Moore\u2019s own logic, this should mean she and Tisdale are fine? Right?<\/p>\n

But Moore continued:\u00a0\u201cLike, we have kids the same age and I\u2019ve had to sort of mourn in a way, not the loss of those friendships, but like how they\u2019ve, they\u2019ve changed.\u201d Hm. Alright!<\/p>\n

We actually had more information about Moore and Tisdale\u2019s relationship before this podcast. Tisdale no longer follows Moore (or Duff) on Instagram; Moore, however, still seems to follow Tisdale. Also, on January 7\u2014one day after\u00a0Duff\u2019s husband, Matthew Koma,\u00a0<\/strong>posted his scorched Earth Instagram at Tisdale \u2014Moore praised him on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Koma posted a video<\/a> of Moore performing \u201cCandy\u201d at a benefit for the Los Angeles wildfires, which Moore reposted with the caption: \u201cThis feels incredibly fitting as @matthewkoma happens to be one of the most talented and generous humans I\u2019m lucky to know (he literally gave my family a place to stay one year ago today when we evacuated). Love you, MB!!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, thanks for\u2026not much, Mandy. I\u2019ll guess we\u2019ll have to keep waiting for the inevitable (I hope!) Ryan Murphy toxic mom group miniseries.<\/p>\n\n
