Meghan Trainor is weighing in on the mom group drama.

The "All About That Bass" singer posted a video to TikTok on Thursday addressing the viral drama surrounding Ashley Tisdale French’s essay for The Cut, where the "High School Musical" actor and singer revealed why she left her “toxic” mom group.

Trainor wrote “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama” across her video on TikTok, which showed her sitting at her computer, shocked and furiously typing while sipping tea.

She captioned the video “☕️☕️☕️ #stilldontcare” and set the audio for the video to her new single “Still Don’t Care.”

Trainor, who is the mom of two boys, is one of the members of the famous friend group that many have speculated Tisdale French was writing about in her essay that published last week — a group that also includes Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore.

Tisdale French left the moms from her former friend group anonymous in her essay, titled “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” and did not name Trainor as one of the moms from the group.

She also cautioned “wannabe online sleuths” against trying to identify any of the moms from the group, saying, “please, don’t even try — whatever you think is true isn’t even close.”

In the personal essay, she shared that she broke things off with her toxic mom friends after the group turned into mama drama.

Tisdale French, the former Disney Channel star and mother of daughters Jupiter and Emerson, wrote that after the birth of her first child, she was craving connection with other moms. She described feeling like she “found her village” when she became friends with other mothers.

Yet after being repeatedly excluded from group hangouts, and finding out about them on Instagram, Tisdale French wrote that their behavior made her feel like she was back in high school.

“Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed, thinking, Maybe I’m not cool enough? All of a sudden, I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out,” she wrote.

Tisdale French ultimately parted ways with the group and wrote that the friendships simply “stopped being healthy and positive.” “To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people. (Maybe one.),” she wrote.

Hilary Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, also weighed in on the “toxic” mom group drama.

Koma posted a photo of his face digitally imposed onto Tisdale’s body to Instagram stories earlier this week. The original photo features Tisdale French in all black on a white couch and was used for the actress’ essay for The Cut.

Koma included The Cut’s logo and a parody headline, which read “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”

Duff also was not named in Tisdale French's essay.

Representatives for Trainor, Tisdale French, Duff and Koma did not respond to NBC News requests for comment.
