Kaley Cuoco has weighed in on Ashley Tisdale French's viral essay about her former 'toxic' celebrity mom group, offering blunt advice: 'Just leave, baby.' The comment came during Cuoco's appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, when a fan asked for her thoughts on the matter.
Cuoco, who has a two-year-old daughter Matilda with fiancé Tom Pelphrey, said she disagreed with the need to publicise the issue. 'I mean, if you don't like being part of a group, just leave, baby,' she stated. As Cohen interjected, 'Like, write an essay about it,' Cuoco added, 'You don't have to do that. Just leave … find a new group.'
Tisdale's essay, published in The Cut last year, detailed 'mean girl behaviour' in a Los Angeles mom group she was part of after the birth of her daughter Jupiter in 2021. While she did not name the participants, she had previously been photographed with Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor. Tisdale wrote that she felt 'frozen out of the group' and 'excluded,' learning of group hangs through Instagram posts.
In response, Duff's husband Matthew Koma posted a fake magazine cover mocking the essay, with a sarcastic caption. However, a representative for Tisdale told TMZ on 5 January that the essay was not about her friendship with Moore, Duff and Trainor, but rather a different group of friends, aiming to highlight issues mothers face.
