If you haven\u2019t been keeping up with the \u201cToxic Mum Group\u201d lore<\/a>, first of all, I envy your peace of mind.\n<\/p>\n

Secondly, pull up a chair, because Meghan Trainor has finally cleared the air about where she stands with Sharpay Evans \u2014 sorry, Ashley Tisdale \u2014 after that viral essay sent the internet into a certified tailspin.<\/p>\n

To recap the chaos: Ashley Tisdale penned a piece for The Cut <\/a>earlier this year about walking away from a friend group that made her feel \u201cless than\u201d. <\/p>\n

Naturally, because the internet has zero chill, everyone immediately looked at her most famous mum friends \u2014 Hilary Duff<\/a>, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor, and decided they were the mean girls of the playground.<\/p>\n

But as it turns out, Meghan wasn\u2019t the villain, she was just the friend who never showed up to the brunch.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Us Weekly<\/a>, the \u201cMother\u201d singer admitted she was actually \u201ca bad mum friend\u201d in the sense that she was never actually there. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never went. They had so many events; they were awesome and always there for each other,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n

According to Meghan, the group eventually started a secondary chat without her simply because she was MIA, which she was \u201ctotally fine\u201d with.<\/p>\n

When the essay dropped and the \u201ctoxic\u201d allegations started flying, Meghan found her face plastered all over TikTok as the primary suspect. \u201cI saw a TikTok where they were like, \u2018Well, everyone hates Meghan Trainor right now, so I bet she\u2019s the mean one\u2019. And I was like, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, guys\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a wholesome twist, Ashley apparently actually reached out to Meghan once the speculation got out of hand to make sure there was no bad blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAshley texted me like, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, your name got dragged in\u2019,\u201d Meghan revealed. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018It\u2019s all right, girl. The world\u2019s a silly, crazy place, and they just want something to talk about\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Meghan insists there was just \u201ca lot of miscommunication and confusion\u201d and that she \u201cfelt bad for Ashley, that she was ever that sad\u201d, she\u2019s officially washing her hands of the drama. She even posted a TikTok lip-syncing to Stranger Things with the caption: \u201cI swear I\u2019m innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. No burn books, no secret sabotages, just a lot of busy mums and a group chat that got way too famous for its own good.<\/p>\n
