Tensions between Hilary Duff and Ashley Tisdale have reportedly been building behind the scenes, and insiders now claim the former directly confronted her former friend in an effort to shut down ongoing drama. Sources familiar with the situation say Duff privately reached out to Tisdale after growing frustrated with what she viewed as mixed signals and public complaints.
Hilary Duff sent messages to Ashley Tisdale to stop cause drama, claims source
According to one insider, Hilary Duff sent messages urging honesty from Ashley Tisdale. “Hilary sent her private messages saying, ‘Just tell us if you don’t want to come. Stop stirring drama,’” a source told Rob Shuter. Other insiders describe a recurring pattern that fueled the fallout. They claim Tisdale repeatedly ignored invitations to group outings and gatherings, only to later suggest publicly that she had been excluded. “Ashley never replies,” one source explained. “Then posts a long Instagram story about being excluded — it’s maddening.”
Those close to the group said this disconnect created resentment, particularly as Duff and others felt they had made consistent efforts to include the “High School Musical” star. Sources emphasized that Duff has handled the situation calmly. An insider said that Duff “is fed up, but staying classy.” They added, “Hilary’s done letting Ashley control the narrative.”
According to multiple accounts, the “Lizzie McGuire” actor has reached a breaking point and no longer wants to engage in back-and-forth explanations. “She’s calm,” the source adds. “But everyone in the group knows she’s done tolerating the nonsense.”
Meanwhile, Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, took a swipe at Tisdale in a January 6 Instagram Story. A source close to the situation told Page Six that Koma’s response was justified. “Matthew gave her what she had coming,” the insider said, adding that the breakdown of the friendship had been “a long time coming.”
Koma appeared to confirm his wife’s involvement by sharing a mock The Cut magazine cover featuring himself. The satirical headline read, “A mom group tell all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.” He captioned the post, “Read my new interview with @thecut.”
