Celebrities like Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore were famously part of the same “mom squad” as Ashley. “When everyone else attended a birthday dinner together, I was met with excuses as to why I hadn’t been invited. I still don’t get why I wasn’t at the girl hang that they all planned at my daughter’s birthday,” she wrote, before accusing the group of having a “pattern of leaving someone out.” “During the early days of the group, there was another mom who often wasn’t included. I’d picked up on hints of a weird dynamic, but at the time, I didn’t dwell on it too much. I was just so happy to have found these incredible, smart, funny women. Now it seemed that this group had a pattern of leaving someone out. And that someone had become me,” she claimed. “To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people. (Maybe one.) But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive — for me, anyway,” she added, noting that the entire thing brought her “to tears” when it played out.
