Meghan Trainor has revisited the fallout from a viral mom-group essay months after Ashley Tisdale French's writing sent fans into a guessing game. The singer explained the situation stemmed from confusion, miscommunication, and internet overreach.
A source claimed Ashley Tisdale later reached out directly after Trainor's name was swept into the story. This was significant because the essay never named her, yet speculation focused on Trainor and other celebrity moms.
According to Us Weekly, Trainor stated she never held a grudge. "I felt bad for Ashley," she said, adding she felt bad "she was ever that sad." She framed the incident as a messy public guessing game rather than a direct feud. The drama began when Tisdale published "Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group" in The Cut, which fans linked to Trainor online.
Trainor said she texted everyone involved once speculation spread. Ashley Tisdale reportedly replied, "I'm sorry, your name got dragged in." Trainor responded calmly, saying, "It's all right, girl," and noting "the world's a silly, crazy place." She suggested people just wanted "something to talk about."
Trainor explained the situation felt strange as she hadn't seen the group in about a year, admitting she was the "bad mom friend" who missed events. She said a new group chat formed without her, which was "totally fine," but the attention became a "nightmare" for many involved, with some moms "devastated" by the online scrutiny. She confirmed there is no bad blood with Ashley Tisdale now.
