Ashley Tisdale briefly spoke on the rumored feud between she and her former High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens during Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Host Cohen asked Tisdale, “We got this a lot. Basically, people want to know what’s going on with you and Vanessa. Do you guys hang out?”
Tisdale didn’t directly confirm or deny a rift with her longtime pal, but she did share, “I haven’t seen her in a long time. I think, obviously, she’s working. I’m working. I have a daughter. So she has a full-time job.”
As of late, Tisdale has been busy being a mom to nearly 2-year-old daughter Jupiter, whom she shares with husband Christopher French.
Hudgens has spent time with Jupiter, with Tisdale previously referring to her as “Aunt Nessa.”
Hugens recently married Cole Tucker in December 2023. Even though several of the HSM co-stars attended her nuptials, Tisdale was not apart of it.

Hudgens is also currently filming Bad Boys 4.
“It’s the best; I couldn’t be happier — genuinely,” the actress recently told ET of newlywed life.

Hudgens was last featured on the Suite Life alum’s Instagram in June 2022 amid wedding festivities for Modern Family star Sarah Hyland.
One common link the co-stars have is Hudgens’ ex, Austin Butler, who co-starred with Tisdale in the 2011 film, Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure. The longtime friends previously found out they’re real-life distant cousins, and Tisdale refers to him as Jupiter’s “uncle.”
Tisdale is also making headlines for her comments about her Mean Girls audition, with one line making it in to the film that she ad-libbed.

“Gosh, it was so long ago,” Tisdale explained. “I just remember screen testing, and it was me and Blake Lively and someone else. But yeah, I screen tested. That was like, eons ago, obviously.”
While the role of Karen went to Amanda Seyfried in the end, Tisdale revealed that her effect can still be felt onscreen thanks to a line that she claims the film’s writers lifted from her audition.
“I just remember I ad-libbed — because I always like in an audition to steal the scene — and I ad-libbed one line, and they put it in the movie,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”
“I should have gotten a writer’s credit,” Tisdale jokingly added. “I’m kidding, but I was like, ‘Dang.’”
Although host Andy Cohen did not ask Tisdale to reveal her audition ad-lib, Karen delivers a whole host of unforgettable lines throughout the comedy, including the legendary, “on Wednesdays, we wear pink.”
