The Disney alum is reportedly hopping on a project from CBS Studios as an executive producer, marking a new vibe from her "toxic mom group" drama.
Ashley Tisdale's "toxic mom group" story, which debuted on "The Cut" onthe first day of the year, has also captured the attention of a few prominent studios across Hollywood, which are looking to adapt her experience for the screen.
Inside Ashley Tisdale's Upcoming Project

The comedy flick titled "You're Only Young Twice" will be a multi-camera project, written by Tommy Johnagin, and will tell a story of Tisdale's character, Emily and Alex, who got pregnant and subsequently married in high school.
Years later, the couple is now 35 and has sent their kid to college, which also means they can get divorced and pursue the lives they want while they are still young.
The movie follows Emily and Alex through different phases, including dating, co-parenting, and a second chance to make things work between them.
As noted by Deadline, the media personality and Johnagin will work alongside Mandy Summers to bring the movie to life. Tisdale has had several movie projects up her sleeve, including the 2020 sitcom "Carol's Second Act," "Hellcats," "Merry Happy Whatever," and a voice-over gig on "Phineas and Ferb."

The controversy that broke out over her thought-provoking piece on "The Cut" seemingly sowed the seeds for a broader creative perspective among producers and directors in the industry.
As noted by The Blast, the insider explained that some major production companies are keen to leverage Tisdale's expertise in acting and producing to express interest in collaborating with her to adapt the story into a movie.
In her story, Tisdale revealed that she had joined a mom group after welcoming her babies, hoping to find a community of like-minded women, including her celebrity friends such as Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore.
Unfortunately, she began to be intentionally excluded from social gatherings, prompting her to send a final message to the group to end the drama.

The actress typically dealt with the unhealthy dynamics on social media by constantly clocking out. According to her, while she loves social media in ways that can be inspiring, funny, and keep her connected, she also understands that she is not meant to live her entire life online.
The Blast reported that the actress noted that taking time off the internet often feels like a reminder to live in the moment instead of living on the edge, looking for what to post and how to stay on trend.
Tisdale added that being online constantly put her in an unhealthy state of alertness, rather than allowing her to experience moments naturally. She recalled the first time she took time off social media, stressing that it helped give her the gift of perspective, where she could still care and stay informed, but on her own terms.
"You can open your phone without thinking and suddenly be absorbing outrage and fear, usually without looking for it," the actress stated about how overwhelming a constant stream of information can be.
Hilary Duff Blamed Social Media For Escalating The 'Toxic Mom Group' Story

One of the celebrities identified in the article reacted to the claims, noting that while she is not a stranger to online controversies, social media fans made the situation worse with half-baked stories, lies, and clickbait.
Duff addressed an allegation about how none of the moms at school like her, nor do the teachers, clarifying that she loves all the women at school. Although Duff tried to defend herself against fans' speculation, her estranged sister, Haylie, was on Tisdale's support team and even liked her article on "The Cut."
Haylie went ahead and shared a picture of her daughter and Tisdale's kid on a playdate, which earned a repost from the "High School Musical" star.
Ashley Tisdale Was Dragged By Hilary Duff's Husband

The 40-year-old did not receive uniform support from Duff's camp, as her husband, Matthew Koma, took to social media to tag the actress self-obsessed and tone-deaf.
Another insider noted that the movie star herself is an insufferable person, and the split between her and her group of friends has been a long time coming. Tisdale's conduct brought back memories of her alleged reaction to victims of a car crash she was involved in back in Los Angeles in 2022.
The legal dispute was between her and a woman named Liza Gonzalez, in which the lawyer representing her claimed she was extremely rude during her interaction with the plaintiff and avoided accountability.
During the time of the collision, Gonzalez revealed that she sustained injuries to her shoulders, neck, back, and left wrist, which she informed a dismissive Tisdale at the time. The attorney added that Tisdale's husband also became involved in the case and went so far as to release the plaintiff's private information online.
