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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like, we have kids the same age and I&#8217;ve had to sort of mourn in a way, not the loss of those friendships, but like how they&#8217;ve, they&#8217;ve changed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe This Is Us star&#8217;s comments about parenthood come after Ashley Tisdale called out &#8220;mean-girl behaviour&#8221; from the parents she used to hang out with.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis prompted fans to speculate she was referring to the likes of Meghan Trainor, Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff.<\/p>\n<p>\nOn Monday (12.01.26), Meghan shared a video on Tik Tok in which she lip synched to a clip from season 5 of Stranger Things in which Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher) tried to convince her pals that Mr. Whatsit (Jamie Campbell Bower) isn&#8217;t the friendly face they think he is.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe dialogue stated: &#8220;Come on you have to believe me! Please, you have to believe me, you have to believe me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe All About That Bass singer &#8211; who has sons Riley, four, and Barry, two, with husband Daryl Sabara &#8211; wrote on the video: &#8220;Me still trying to convince everyone I&#8217;m not involved in the mom group drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added in the caption: &#8220;I swear i&#8217;m innocent (sic)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAshley &#8211; who has Jupiter, four, and Emerson, 16 months, with husband Christopher French &#8211; first opened up about her experiences with the mom group in a post on her blog in which she declared: &#8220;Here\u2019s the thing nobody prepared me for: Mom groups can turn toxic. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Not because the moms themselves are toxic people, but because the dynamic shifts into an ugly place with mean-girl behaviour. I know this from personal experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe High School Musical star explained there were group text chains that &#8220;didn&#8217;t include everyone&#8221; and there were &#8220;hangouts&#8221; she didn&#8217;t get invited to.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn her viral essay for The Cut, the 40-year-old actress insisted it was fine to walk away from friendships that were no longer positive.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote: &#8220;If a mom group consistently leaves you feeling hurt, drained or left out, it\u2019s not the mom group for you.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Choosing to step away doesn\u2019t make you mean or judgmental. It makes you honest with yourself. It\u2019s also worth remembering that friendships, like all relationships, have seasons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/mandy-moore-mourns-way-friendships-change-motherhood-1435992.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 January 2026 Mandy Moore has &#8220;had to sort of mourn&#8221; the way her friendships have changed with motherhood.
