In an August 2023 “Big Names” podcast episode, the former “That’s So Raven” star, 41, told co-host Christy Carlson Romano about once serving Tisdale, 40, while working as a waitress.
“I want to say she was lovely, but…” van der Pol said, taking a drink from her cocktail instead of finishing the sentence.
The “Raven’s Home” alum, who once worked at New York City’s Salvation Burger, Salvation Taco and Tavern on the Green for “about a year,” explained that Tisdale did not react by saying, “Oh, my God! Hi!”
The “High School Musical” star was, instead, so visibly “uncomfortable” that van der Pol was tempted to tell her, “I’m fine, girl.”
She had the same urge when she clocked the “gut-wrenching” looks on other patrons’ faces recognizing and “judg[ing]” her.
The Broadway star wanted to say, “I’m actually really happy that I don’t have to audition and am doing something I know I’m good at. I know when I clean a table or bring a meal that I can do that and there won’t be any mistakes.”
Tisdale did not comment on van der Pol’s diss when it made headlines in 2023.
The “Suite Life of Zack and Cody” alum is back in the news this week after exposing her “toxic” mom group in a scathing essay for The Cut.
While Tisdale’s rep denied the piece was about her star-studded group with Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor and more, Duff’s husband clapped back on Tuesday.
Matthew Koma recreated Tisdale’s article promo with the following headline: “A mom group tell all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”
He has since deleted the post.
As for Tisdale’s partner, Christopher French stirred the pot with Instagram Story reposts about choosing “whether or not to engage” and “pausing to decide if [something is] worth your energy.”
While van der Pol has not weighed in on Tisdale’s recent viral drama, Romano poked fun at it in an Instagram video Monday.
“Minding my business,” the “Even Stevens” alum, 41, wrote, calling “celeb mom drama … wild to watch unfold from outside the group.”
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
