The mama drama in Hollywood isn’t slowing down.

Becca Tobin, best known for her role as Kitty Wilde from "Glee", has criticised Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, for involving himself in a controversy that started with Ashley Tisdale French’s essay about leaving a “toxic” mum group.



Tisdale shared her decision to step away from the group without naming anyone specifically. Fans quickly speculated the circle included Duff and other celebrity mums, based on social media interactions and past photos.

On her podcast "LadyGang" on January 13, Tobin addressed the situation.

“Now let me tell you, I don’t think there’s any loser… there’s no loser in this group, to me, not one except for Hilary Duff’s husband.”

Tobin called the situation “so gross when husbands jump in and get petty".

Matthew Koma, Duff's Husband, responded on Instagram with a satirical post that mocked Tisdale’s essay, using a "The Cut" cover image with himself over her face and a headline implying she was “the most self‑obsessed, tone-deaf person on earth” while other mums focused on their children.

Tobin said the fact that Tisdale did not name anyone in her essay made Koma’s comments feel unnecessary and attention-seeking. “It’s offensive for what he said about her,” Tobin added, pointing out that his public attack crossed a line, regardless of any falling out between the women.

Tobin’s co-host noted that Koma has a reputation online for “stirring the pot”, which made his reaction less surprising but still inappropriate.

"He always inserts himself into things. So it’s not as surprising that he would do that… as like, a normal husband," they said.

"I would be so upset with my husband, whether or not I get along with this person. We had a falling out...whatever the thing is. She goes low, and then he goes lower."

"I think it's actually really gross when a man comments on something like this. It's offensive for what he said about her. I don't like it at all," added Tobin.

As of now, neither Duff nor Tisdale has publicly commented on the situation, leaving fans and followers to weigh in on the ongoing drama.
