Kaley Cuoco responds to Ashley Tisdale’s mom group split

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, February 5, Kaley Cuoco addressed the ongoing mom group drama with her trademark blunt honesty. She suggested that if someone feels uncomfortable in a group, the simplest solution is to walk away and find a new circle.

"Just leave … find a new group,” she said.

Host Andy Cohen pushed further, questioning the need for a public essay, while Erika Jayne chimed in, agreeing that seeking a different group is the healthiest move. Kaley firmly reinforced that leaving quietly is often the best choice.

Kaley Cuoco's remark after Ashley Tisdale detailed her departure from a so-called toxic mom group in The Cut, Crystal Minkoff revealed on her Humble Brag podcast that she knows some members personally. Tisdale described a circle that once offered support and camaraderie but gradually shifted into exclusionary, high school-style behavior, leaving her isolated.

She emphasised that her essay aimed not to settle scores but to highlight the struggles of mothers navigating friendship, work, and family in a competitive social landscape. Tisdale’s essay not only revealed the drama within her social circle but also offered a rare glimpse into her life as a mother.
