Mandy Moore Hails Hilary Duff at L.A. Tour Finale as Mom Group Shows Support

The public show of support counters speculation stemming from Ashley Tisdale’s essay about a “toxic mom group.”

Overview

  • Hilary Duff wrapped her sold-out Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour with a Jan. 29 show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.
  • Mandy Moore attended and praised Duff on Instagram as a “sensational icon queen,” adding, “You are forever a superstar.”
  • Moore’s clips showed Matthew Koma and Taylor Goldsmith dancing in the crowd, with fellow moms Gaby Dalkin and Janice Lee also present.
  • The outing follows Ashley Tisdale’s Cut essay about leaving a “toxic mom group,” her social-media unfollows of Duff and Moore, and her account of exiting via a pointed group-chat message after feeling excluded.
  • An unnamed source told Us Weekly the moms felt blindsided and deny malicious intent, while recent appearances and posts indicate the core group remains publicly connected.
