Meghan Trainor Screams 'I'm Innocent' After 'Leader Of Mean Moms Group' Label

Meghan Trainor is doing everything to ensure the "mean girl" tag doesn't stick after Ashley Tisdale's shocking essay.

The "All About That Bass" hitmaker became embroiled in the latter's toxic mom group drama after fans believed she might have been a part of the problematic group. However, the singer's first attempt to clear her name sparked more controversy.

Ashley Tisdale caused a stir on the internet following her bombshell essay about a mom group that left her feeling isolated. Many believed the group included stars like Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and designer Samii Ryan.

Trainor posted a second denial of her involvement in the alleged toxic mom group on TikTok, lip-syncing to a popular sound on the social media platform. "Come on, you have to believe me! Please, you have to believe me, you have to believe me," the audio said.

The original sound came from a scene in season 5 of "Stranger Things," where Holly Wheeler (played by Nell Fisher) tries to convince a group of children that their imaginary friend is not who they think he is. Trainor seemingly referenced this scene to show she wasn't who fans suspected her to be.

"Me still trying to convince everyone I'm not involved in the mom group drama," Trainor wrote in the video's overlay text. She doubled down on her innocence in the post's caption, writing, "I swear I'm innocent." Her second attempt to convince fans received more supportive comments.

The comments were divided between critics and fans, but many of Trainor's admirers tried to dispel the perceived misconceptions about her. One commenter claimed the singer wasn't a part of the problematic group because Tisdale still followed her.

"Apparently, the drama is between Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff. and the rest of the moms were supposed to take sides," someone theorized. Another agreed, claiming they did not believe Trainor would knowingly be a part of the allegedly toxic group.

Others advised Trainor to stop commenting on the drama, pointing out that two videos on the matter did not look good for her innocence. "It's okay, Mommy Meghan, just distance yourself from the bad mama juju," a fan implored her. A fellow supporter agreed, assuring her they believed she wasn't a part of the group.

The encouraging comments came days after Trainor attempted to clear her name with some light humor. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she shared a TikTok of herself at the computer, looking visibly shocked as she read about the mom group drama.

"Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama," she wrote in the video's overlay text. Unfortunately, Trainor sparked criticism for her reaction because the post was set to her new song "Still Don't Care," seemingly implying she didn't care about Tisdale's woes.

Critics called her out in the post's comments, claiming her behavior was "giving leader of the mean moms group." Others argued that her reaction proved Tisdale's point, with more TikTokers slamming Trainor for acting guilty by rushing to distance herself from the drama.

The speculations about Trainor's involvement in the allegedly toxic mom group began after Tisdale poured out her grievances in an essay. The Blast shared that she did not name anyone but only identified the group as a bunch of celebrity mothers.

Tisdale recalled that she was initially excited to find this "village" after welcoming her daughter during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, she soon realized these women weren't as welcoming as she had believed.

The actress claimed they would exclude her from group events and isolate her even when they sat at the same table. Tisdale did not jump to conclusions at first, believing there could be a good reason for the distance until she could no longer take the toxicity and left.

Surprisingly, Trainor wasn't the only star facing mean girl accusations, as Tisdale got called out for allegedly having a terrible personality. The Blast reported that attorney Michael Parker labeled her "extremely rude" following an incident with his client.

According to the attorney, a woman named Lina Gonzalez was the victim of a vehicle collision in September 2022. The incident occurred in Los Angeles, with Tisdale cited as the person in the wrong, yet she allegedly attempted to evade responsibility.

Parker argued that Gonzalez was forced to turn to social media to lament her situation in 2023 after failing to get a response from Tisdale. Then, the "High School Musical" alum's husband allegedly retaliated by doxxing Gonzalez and accusing her of insurance fraud.
