Hilary Duff Takes Her Girls' Trip to the Mexican Jungle

The vacation serves as a quiet rebuke to the intense speculation that shadowed the group earlier this year. The friction began in January when Ashley Tisdale published an essay detailing her decision to leave a social circle she deemed toxic. While Tisdale did not name names, internet sleuths quickly pointed toward Duff and her peers. Duff later addressed the rumors on the Call Her Daddy podcast, stating she felt hurt and used by the narrative, particularly as it coincided with the launch of her latest musical project.

Moving past the speculation, the group showcased a lighter side of their friendship on social media. Influencer Gaby Dalkin shared a video of the women jumping into a pool, joking that such trips are essential for longevity. The attendees, including makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher and skincare expert Whitney Wagner Hartley, spent their time enjoying the coastal rainforest, playing mahjong, and relaxing by the water. This retreat follows a summer of public shows of solidarity, with Moore and Dalkin previously attending Duff’s July concert in Los Angeles to celebrate her return to the stage.
