Co-hosts on "The View" questioned Ashley Tisdale's decision to publicly share her drama with her "toxic" mom group, sparking a heated discussion about whether sharing such personal issues is necessary or if it would be better to simply drop out of the conversation.
Joy Behar referenced Tisdale's recent essay in The Cut, where she recalled breaking ties with her "toxic" mom group for allegedly excluding her from hangouts. Behar asked, "Would you announce that you were leaving like that? Or just stop talking?" Sara Haines responded by saying Tisdale's public confessions were "the most high school part of this," suggesting that writing a breakup text might be more mature.
Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed that "toxic mom culture is a thing" but questioned why women have to go through all the steps to cut off an unhealthy friendship. She suggested that sometimes it's better to just leave the conversation and move on. Ana Navarro chimed in, saying, "Why can't you just leave the conversation? Why can't you get it out of your head and out of your life?" Whoopi Goldberg has been known to do the same on the show.
Behar expressed dismay with terms like "toxic moms" and "mean girls," calling them "anti-female." She suggested that instead of labeling themselves or others as toxic, people should focus on creating a positive environment. Tisdale's representative did not immediately return Page Six's request for comment.
Tisdale recently published an essay in which she shared her experience with being excluded from her mom group and how it made her feel "not cool enough" for them. The essay sparked a firestorm of drama, with some of her former friends weighing in on social media. Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Hilary Duff are part of Tisdale's A-list mom group.
While the exact details of Tisdale's situation remain unclear, insiders have revealed that the Disney Channel alum was frozen out by her former high-profile friends over a "myriad of things" not just one specific issue. Another source previously told Page Six that Tisdale was "insufferable" in the group and that the rift has been a long time coming.
The debate surrounding Tisdale's essay highlights the complexities of toxic mom culture and the challenges women face when trying to navigate difficult friendships. While some argue that being open about one's experiences can be therapeutic, others suggest that it's often better to focus on moving forward rather than dwelling on past conflicts.

. Like, what even is the point of using those words? It just ends up stigmatizing women who are trying to speak out about their experiences. Can't we just have a convo without all the drama and negativity? 
I think it's so cool that Ashley Tisdale is using her platform to share her story and help others. It takes courage, girl! 
And honestly, I think Sara Haines might be being a bit harsh with her "high school" comment 
. Can't we all just grow up and move on? 
like what's the point of airing all her dirty laundry? cant she just chill and move on from toxic people? its not like sharing a story is gonna make everything better... or would it? idk i think Sara Haines has a point tho, writing a breakup text might be more mature than all this public drama 
. It sounds like her mom group is already toxic and she doesn't need to fuel the fire by airing their dirty laundry online. I mean, would it be that hard for someone else to reach out to her or try to resolve the issues instead of making a big public spectacle? I'd rather not know about all the drama behind closed doors 
... sources please!
I feel like she's trying to help others by sharing her own struggles but at the same time, some of her former friends are being super catty 
... but at the same time, I get where Sara Haines is coming from too 
Like if you're done with a friendship, it's better to just stop talking and move on rather than making all your drama public 
... But Ashley Tisdale seems really vulnerable about what happened, so maybe she needed to share her story for closure 
... either way, I think we can all agree that toxic mom culture is real 
and it's not okay 
...
. I mean, can't we just have a convo about the drama without making assumptions about each other? People are getting so salty over here 
. But I guess some ppl just don't wanna deal with the messy stuff and would rather just ghost someone 
. Whatever, I'm here for Ash being real 
.
