When did Ashley Tisdale make her film debut? Actress' complete filmography explored amidst mom group controversy

Ashley Tisdale made her film debut in 2001. She appeared in the American science fiction psychological thriller film Donnie Darko, directed by Richard Kelly, playing the role of Kim. At the time of her debut, Ashley was 16 years old.

However, before her film debut, Tisdale was already working in the film industry as a voice actress. She made her debut as a voice actress in the 1998 television film An All Dogs Christmas Carol.

Lately, Ashley Tisdale, who now goes by Ashley French, was making headlines for her article on The Cut. The article titled "Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group" reportedly talks about the celebrity mom group she was in, including Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore.

While Tisdale's representative said that the article was not directed at the A-lister moms, Hilary Duff's husband had something to say about Ashley's article, posting a parody title and photo to his Instagram stories. According to Matthew Koma's Instagram story, the new title of the article reads:

"When You're The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers," with a subheadline that reads "A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father's Eyes."

Meghan Trainer also allegedly shaded Ashley Tisdale with her latest TikTok video. In the clip, the All About The Bass singer was seen sitting in front of her computer, typing, while her song Still Don't Care is playing in the background. She captioned the video:

"me finding out about the apparent mom group drama."
