Ashley Tisdale caused quite an uproar when her personal essay for The Cut, titled “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” published on January 1. However, it seems “Today” host Jenna Bush Hager is not a fan of Tisdale’s emotional essay. During her recent appearance, the host raised questions about the actor’s intentions and wished people would “take some stuff off the Internet.”
Jenna Bush Hager wishes people would ‘take some stuff off the internet’
While Ashley Tisdale’s emotional essay about being part of a “toxic mom group” was read by many, “Today” host Jenna Bush Hager is not completely impressed with her write-up. In her essay, the former Disney Channel star mentioned that she broke up with the mom group due to their “high school” behavior.
But in Tuesday’s episode of “Today with Jenna & Friends,” Hager questioned Tisdale for writing about the group of fellow moms on a “public” platform rather than discussing her issues with her friends privately. “Feeling left out is public because of social media, but also the fact that she wrote an article and made it public, I don’t know. Good for her for telling her truth,” she told her guest co-host, Matt Rogers, as quoted by the Independent.
“But I also think private conversations are more and more important,” Hager continued. “Speaking your truth to the people who have hurt you should be enough. I hope we can also teach that if you feel wronged, if you feel hurt, show love.”
However, Rogers pointed out that sometimes it’s the “instinct” that makes a person “do something back,” asserting that “it always does feel good when you have the truth on your side.” That’s when Hager points out, “Ya, but how do we know the truth?” She then wished people would “take some stuff off the Internet and get it in our homes.”
