Ashley Tisdale's 'extremely rude' behavior called out by lawyer
What's the story
Ashley Tisdale has been dominating headlines lately due to the "toxic" mom group drama. While the controversy continues to heat up, lawyer Michael Parker has now called her "extremely rude." Parker, who represented a woman named Lina Gonzalez in her lawsuit against the Disney star, made these remarks while speaking to Daily Mail. The lawsuit was filed after a car accident in Los Angeles on September 6, 2022, where Gonzalez claimed to have sustained injuries due to Tisdale's alleged negligence.
Legal proceedings
Gonzalez's lawsuit and Tisdale's alleged dismissive behavior
Gonzalez, who was 26 at the time of the accident, sued Tisdale for damages. She claimed to have suffered injuries to her shoulders, back, neck, and left wrist. However, she also alleged that Tisdale was dismissive at the scene and told her that her manager would contact her. When no one reached out from Tisdale's side, Gonzalez decided to file a lawsuit and shared her side of the story on social media.
Social media fallout
Tisdale's husband allegedly targeted Gonzalez online
Following Gonzalez's social media post, Tisdale's husband, Christopher French, allegedly targeted her online. He reportedly shared her personal information and accused her of committing insurance fraud. Parker said this made his client feel "unsafe," adding, "When you're just a regular person and a celebrity has it out for you, it's really scary - especially when they're posting on social media and they have millions of followers."
Legal maneuver
Tisdale sought protective order against Gonzalez
In September 2024, Tisdale sought a protective order against Gonzalez. She argued that the publicity from the case and Gonzalez's testimony could be "used to harass and embarrass" her. The court granted this request in November 2024. Eventually, both parties reached a settlement agreement, and the case was dismissed in December 2024. However, details of the settlement are still unknown.
Mom group controversy
Tisdale's recent 'toxic' mom group drama
Earlier this month, Tisdale stirred controversy by publishing an essay in which she called out her former group of celebrity moms, allegedly including Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore. She described the group as "toxic" and explained why she no longer associates with them. This led to backlash against Tisdale, with Duff's husband Matthew Koma criticizing her on social media as "self-obsessed" and "tone deaf."
