Mandy Moore reflects on having to ‘mourn’ her friendships

Mandy Moore gets raw and honest about the end of certain friendships in her life.

His revelations follow Ashley Tisdale‘s explosive essay, in which she talked about cutting ties with her old mom group, of which Moore was allegedly a part.

Although members of the group have remained largely silent since the essay’s publication, sources say Moore was unhappy with how things turned out because she felt “unfairly portrayed” in Tisdale’s essay.

Moore was recently featured on the podcast “Conversations with Cam,” with host Cameron Rogers. During this deeply revealing conversation, the singer opened up about the evolution of friendships in her life.

She noted that things have changed since she had children and she becomes closer to people whose children are the same ages as hers.

“I have friends who have older kids, let’s say. And I’ve found that the people I’m closest to in my life right now are people who are sort of in the same chapter of their lives as the parents,” she said, according to People Magazine.

As a result, some of his relationships had to evolve.

Moore explained, “We have kids the same age and I had to kind of grieve, not the loss of those friendships, but as they did, they changed.”

The 41-year-old actress and mother of three stressed that this changing dynamic doesn’t necessarily mean she loves someone less; it’s just reality. In his words:

“I think it’s no one’s fault and no one is doing anything wrong, and it doesn’t mean you love anyone any less. But the reality is you’ll connect more with people whose kids are exactly your age.”

Moore’s revealing statements come amid the drama that followed after Tisdale spoke openly about leaving Moore, Hilary Duff and other members of her mothers group behind.

The Cut published a personal essay, which shed light on the struggles Tisdale went through while navigating friendships within her mothers group.

Without holding back, the Disney alum shared that she began to feel distant from the group following a series of events. And when it became too overwhelming for her, she decided to stop.

“I began to feel excluded from the group, noticing each time that they seemed to exclude me,” she wrote, as reported by the newspaper. The explosion.

She decided to send a message to her old friends, letting them know how she felt. She told them that the drama was a little “too high school” for her and, as such, she wanted out of it.

After Tisdale’s essay was published, it received a lot of backlash from fans online. Although none of the band members have come forward to directly address the drama, Duff’s husband, Mathew Koma, poked fun at Tisdale by sharing a line from her photoshoot for his essay on The Cut.

Koma posted a photo of himself photoshopped onto Tisdale’s body, with a sarcastic caption, calling the actress “self-obsessed” and “tone deaf.”

Shortly after, Moore took to Instagram to congratulate Koma for being “one of the [of] the most talented and generous humans,” she is “lucky” to know.

According to The explosionshe highlighted his generosity in how he gave her and her family a place to stay during the Palisades fire and concluded by writing, “I love you, MB!!”

Although Moore’s post didn’t address the feud with Tisdale, its timing highlighted the closeness between her and Duff despite all the drama.

Amid Moore’s silence in the feud, inside sources say she was unhappy with Tisdale’s essay, as was Duff.

“They all feel blindsided and hurt by Ashley speaking the way she did. From their perspective, they thought the group was supportive and coming from a good place, and they never thought there was any bad intent behind the way things played out,” the source said, according to The explosion.
