Earlier this month, Tisdale, 40, wrote a scathing essay for the Cut, explaining why she was “breaking up” with her “toxic” mom group of friends, which allegedly included not only Moore but also other famous names such as Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor and more

In the piece, the “Suite Life of Zack & Cody” alum said she didn’t feel “cool enough” after she was excluded from hangouts with members of the mom group.

“I realized that there were group text chains that didn’t include everyone, which led to cliques forming within the larger group,” she alleged in the essay.

“And after the third or fourth time of seeing social media photos of everyone else at a hangout that I didn’t get invited to, it felt like I wasn’t really part of the group after all.”

Due to feeling excluded, Tisdale said she questioned why she still showed “up for this.”

The essay has since ignited a social media war, with certain members and their husbands speaking out and slamming her accusations.

Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, seemingly confirmed Tisdale was bashing his wife and her friends when he appeared to mock the Cut essay via his Instagram Story just days after it was published.

Several of the women also responded to Tisdale’s shady essay, including Moore, who cryptically commented on the drama.

During an appearance on the “Conversations with Cam” podcast, the “This Is Us” actress asked host Cameron Rogers if she had “seen a friendship sort of take a different course.”

“I have friends who have kids that are older, let’s say,” she added. “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.”

Moore — who shares sons August, 4, and Oscar, 3, and daughter Louise, 16 months, with Goldsmith — said though she and some of her friends have kids who are the “same age,” she has “had to sort of mourn in a way” how those friendships have “changed.”
