Hilary Duff strikes a smug pose in yellow swimsuit on girls’ getaway to Mexico… as toxic mom group drama resurfaces

Hilary Duff took a girls’ trip to Mexico with Mandy Moore and other friends from their moms’ ‘group chat,’ and made sure to flaunt their fun times on social media.

The Lizzie McGuire star, 39, showcased her trim figure in a yellow swimsuit and other skimpy attire – almost a year after the toxic mom group drama with Ashley Tisdale, 41.

Duff posted a series of photos of her and her friends soaking up the sun and exotic scenery during their stay at the OneOnly Mandarina resort in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico.

The mother-of-four, who reunited with ex-husband Mike Comrie at their son’s soccer game, was seen sipping a tantalizing cocktail in one shot and giving the camera her best pout in another.

One photo saw Duff wearing a blue ruffled bikini while enjoying what appeared to be a therapeutic mud bath treatment.

Included in the mix were plenty of pictures of Duff relaxing with the ladies – in white spa robes, in the infinity pool, playing a board game, and posing in their evening wear.

The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Duff for comment.

‘The group chat made it to the jungle,’ Duff wrote in the caption, along with the hashtag @oomandarina.

Many fans interpreted the girls’ trip and Duff’s photo carousel as a direct flaunting in the face of Tisdale.

‘I just know Ashley Tisdale is punching the air right now,’ one Instagram user surmised.

‘I bet that Ashley girl wish she was there lol,’ another echoed.

‘Y’all forgot about Ashley Tisdale,’ wrote a third commenter.

A fourth asked: ‘Is this the toxic mom trip that made it out of the group chat?’

On January 1, Tisdale published a personal essay titled Breaking Up with My Toxic Mom Group in The Cut.

The High School Musical alum called out ‘mean-girl behavior’ and cutting ties with some of her friends, sparking speculation she was referring to the likes of Moore and Duff and the others who follow their example.

‘Here’s the thing nobody prepared me for: Mom groups can turn toxic,’ Tisdale wrote at the time.

‘Not because the moms themselves are toxic people, but because the dynamic shifts into an ugly place with mean-girl behavior. I know this from personal experience.’

Tisdale explained there were group text chains that ‘didn’t include everyone’ and there were ‘hangouts’ she didn’t get invited to.

Reflecting on the fallout to the piece, she previously told WWD: ‘I think that in the audience it was for, the response I got was pretty amazing. It reached who it needed to reach.’

In May, Moore, 42, opened up about her reaction to the viral essay.

‘It’s wild to have anybody talk about your life, and I know Hilary [Duff] has sort of mentioned this too,’ Moore told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show Radio Andy.

‘It’s like we both have grown up in this business and had people dissect who we are and the choices we make and all of that, but this was something altogether different and decidedly way more upsetting. It just cuts to the core.

‘The most important thing in my life is being a kind person and like that legacy of kindness, and anyone even insinuating that that might not be the case, and with the company that I choose to keep is very upsetting. I’d say that was the biggest takeaway, sort of the shock of like, “Wow,”‘ Moore added.

Duff felt ‘really sad’ and ‘taken aback’ by the article, and she insisted the claims in the piece weren’t accurate.

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast in February, Duff shared: ‘Motherhood has brought on, like — I have my core group of friends who have been my ride or die for 20 years, 10 to 20 years, and I have tons of different groups of mom friends because I have four kids, you know?

‘So, I think I just was like, “Whoa.” It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of, like, six women and all of their lives.’

Tisdale’s husband, Christopher French, has insisted they’re ‘doing fine’ almost a year after her ‘toxic mom group’ drama.

‘We’re doing fine,’ the Recovering podcast host told Page Six.

‘She’s a super smart, capable person, and she knows what she’s doing and that’s part of what I love about her.

‘I have no problem supporting my wife completely in her ability to deal with her own interpersonal relationships in whatever way [she] feels is right for her, without getting involved or feeling like I have to speak for her.’

He added that while they ‘are very private,’ he understood while she felt the need to talk about ‘something that really matters to her.’
