Actress Ashely Tisdale-French says she dumped her “toxic mom group” because she felt left out and bullied, and her essay about her experience set off an internet firestorm. While she didn’t name names, several prominent celebrity moms have been featured on social media with her in what sure looks like a “mom group." In particular, Hillary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor. Some of them are responding publicly. Amy and T.J. try to find the lesson in all this, and try to avoid taking side on a topic that has resonated with so many women.
