Disney Channel star Ashley<\/a>, who is also mom to their three-year-old\u00a0daughter<\/a>, Jupiter, was part of an A-List parenting group that included popstar mom of four Hilary<\/a>, 38, and Mandy<\/a>, 41, and her three-strong brood.<\/p>\n

Popstar Megan Trainor, 32, was also part of the clan, which Ashley said was put together by a mutual friend.<\/p>\n

Yet in her new blog post for The Cut<\/a>, Ashley, whose married name is Ashley French, has told of the \u201cunpleasant\u201d feeling she began to experience in the bunch, which left her \u201cfeeling totally lost as to what I was doing wrong to be left out.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the piece, tellingly titled You\u2019re Allowed To Leave Your Mom Group, she explained how she took a stand after \u201cbeing left out from yet another group hang.\u201d<\/p>\n

SWEET MOMENT<\/p>\n

Zac Efron’s reply when asked about pregnant Vanessa Hudgens revealed<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

Ashley was previously seen hanging around with This Is Us star Mandy and Coming Clean hitmaker Hilary, with the bunch often exchanging comments on social media.<\/p>\n

Now she does not follow either on Instagram, sparking more speculation of a feud, and wrote in the publication how the final straw came when she was excluded from a series of events.<\/p>\n

She put: \u201cDuring the early days of the group, there was another mom who often wasn\u2019t included. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d picked up on hints of a weird dynamic, but at the time, I didn\u2019t dwell on it too much. I was just so happy to have found these incredible, smart, funny women. Now it seemed that this group had a pattern of leaving someone out. And that someone had become me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cWhy me? The truth is, I don\u2019t know and I probably never will. What I do know is that it took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I\u2019d left behind years ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cHere I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed, thinking, maybe I\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley, who revealed last March that\u00a0she was expecting her second child<\/a>, added: \u201cEven though it had been decades since tenth grade, the experience of being left out felt so similar.\u201d<\/p>\n

The screen star told how she \u201cknew I had to speak out\u201d to set a good example for her daughters.<\/p>\n

She wrapped her message by declaring the action she took to remove herself from the situation and said: \u201cSo that\u2019s exactly what I texted to the group after being left out from yet another group hang: \u2018This is too high school for me and I don\u2019t want to take part in it anymore.\u2019 It didn\u2019t exactly go over well. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the others tried to smooth things over. One sent flowers, then ignored me when I thanked her for them. Another tried to convince me that everyone assumed I\u2019d been invited to gatherings and just hadn\u2019t shown up. <\/p>\n

\u201cThen why didn\u2019t anyone ever ask where I was?, I wondered. To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people. (Maybe one.) <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive \u2014 for me, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

FAN THEORIES<\/p>\n

Fans of Ashley. who married husband Chris in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara,\u00a0California<\/a>, in 2014 were quick to speculate over the identity of the \u201cmean mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

One took to Reddit to put: \u201cWho do you think the mean mom is? Don\u2019t ruin Hilary Duff for me please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another put: \u201cMeghan seems too desperate for friends to be the mean girl. My money is on Mandy Moore.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third put: \u201cMy money\u2019s on Mandy. I think she tries really hard to present herself as a very likeable person (and I have indeed liked her all these years!), but I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another wrote: \u201cNoted this elsewhere in the comments but someone pointed out on another post that the only one she unfollowed was Mandy Moore, so that\u2019s my guess re who she\u2019s referring to, regardless of whether it\u2019s true or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

One wrote: \u201cTisdale is still following Meghan Trainor on instagram. Hilary and Mandy nope. I don\u2019t know who the other moms are.\u201d<\/p>\n

A mom follower added: \u201cI think, in general, talking about how difficult it can be to navigate friendships in adulthood should be talked about more and I\u2019m glad it seems to be happening. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard and confusing and bewildering to be in these situations and not know why you\u2019re on the outside with people who profess to be so close to you. <\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially if\/when your model of adult friendship was tv shows and movies where characters more often than not lived together or had endless availability in their nearby homes\u2026so I am glad these conversations are happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

BABY JOY<\/p>\n

Back in September, Ashley revealed her second child\u2019s safe arrival with a black and white snap of the tot\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmerson Clover French, all three of us are obsessed with you 9.6.24,\u201d she captioned the snap, adding a four-leaf clover emoji.<\/p>\n

Fans in the comments on her post announcing that she gave birth wished Ashley and her family well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy for you guys!! Congratulations!\u201d one person posted.<\/p>\n

The singer shared a post from her doula on her Instagram Story, which featured the same photo she posted on her feed.<\/p>\n

The doula wrote, \u201cCongrats to the sweetest family ever! Love you guys!\u201d<\/p>\n
