Her lips may be sealed, but Haylie Duff’s Instagram stories speak volumes. The elder sister of Hilary Duff shared a snap of a playdate between her and Ashley Tisdale‘s kids, which the actress then shared to her own account.

“Under table shenanigans,” Duff wrote of the children playing together.
Tisdale, of course, recently sparked controversy when she penned an essay for The Cut, in which she called out a “toxic” mom group that fans theorized involves Hilary, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor among others, though she didn’t name names. “I thought I found my village. Instead I was back in high school,” Tisdale wrote. “Even though it had been decades since 10th grade, the experience of being left out felt so similar.”
“Here’s the hard-earned lesson I hope you’ll take to heart: It’s not the right group for you. Even if it looks like they’re having the best time on Instagram,” she added of eventually leaving the cadre of mothers. Tisdale would later deny she was writing about the specific group of Duff, Moore and Trainor.
At the time, Haylie — who is rumored to be estranged from her sister — liked the Instagram that Tisdale posted to her account of the article.
Hilary’s husband, Matthew Koma, then took to his own Instagram to mock Tisdale’s magazine cover. “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers,” Koma’s fake headline read.
For her part, Hilary remained silent, only promoting her upcoming album Luck… or Something, out this February. Trainor also weighed in on TikTok with “me finding out about the apparent mom group drama” in text over a video of her sitting at her computer with her song “Still Don’t Care” playing in the background.
