Mom Group Explodes Over One Parent's Outrageous Oreo Ban

Mom Group Explodes Over One Parent's Outrageous Oreo Ban

To survive the back-to-school mom group chat, you’ve gotta be one tough cookie. Sweet text message exchanges between parents have gone sour thanks to a sugary snack that was packed in a small child’s lunchbox, causing one mommy friend group to crumble into chocolatey dust. And the internet is eating it up. The viral mama drama, a 10-part Instagram series popularized by @AshlieghJamz, a mom who transforms her hectic life into songs using Suno, an AI music generator, revolves around Oreo cookies. The 10-part Instagram series has gone viral, sparking a chain of hilarious reactions from all corners of social media. When “Michelle,” one of the six moms in Ashleigh’s group chat, asks the other mothers to refrain from sending their five-year-olds to school with the cream-filled treats because she doesn’t allow her daughter, “Ava,” to eat them, all parenting hell broke loose. “I just wondered if we could agree not to send things like Oreos, chocolate candy, etc. so the kids aren’t comparing lunches?” requested Michelle, per Ashleigh’s initial post, fetching nearly 10 million video views. Ashleigh was not immediately available to respond to The Post’s request for a comment. Michelle’s seemingly audacious ask, however, elicited immediate responses from the annoyed moms of the group chat. “I don’t really think [you] can control what everyone else packs though,” a mom named Casey wrote in response to Michelle’s petition. Fighting between mothers in group chats has become a hot-button issue this year, seeing VIP and everyday parents publicly detail the toxicity they’ve endured from other mothers and fathers. kucherav – stock.adobe.com“With respect, I am not changing my daughter’s lunch because your daughter wants an Oreo,” spat mom Charlotte. “This is getting ridiculous,” mom Jenny teased, punctuating her indifference with the laughing emoji. But mom group chat beefs, be they over sweets or A-list social soirées, are oft-no laughing matter. Ashley Tisdale of “High School Musical” fame, now a married mom of two, shined a stinging spotlight on the “toxic” nature of mommy-led messaging threads in January. The Disney star-turned-whistleblower openly exposed her celebrity ex-besties for unceremoniously excluding her from their clique, barring her from their group chat and disinviting her from their haute hangouts. Michelle refused to reveal her beef with the widely beloved cookie, per Ashleigh’s posts. Yanina – stock.adobe.comSadly, the parental pettiness isn’t specific to the moms of Hollywood. Izzy Anaya, 46, an Upper West Side mother of two, previously told The Post she’s been iced out by the hoity-toity snob moms in her NYC neighborhood, too, simply because she marches to the beat of her own drum. But when it comes to the foods that children eat, the mom feuding can’t be beat. Throughout Ashleigh’s virtual saga, nicknamed “Oreo-gate,” the mothers refuse to adhere to Michelle’s cookie ban demands, prompting her to ask the school to outlaw Oreos. But when her plea to the administrators fell on deaf ears, the irate woman began chastising the other mothers for allowing their kids to bring the cookies to school and share them with Ava, according to the texts. Michelle then allegedly went to the school and began searching through the other children’s lunch boxes for Oreos, which she considers “restricted food,” before asking the teacher to seat Ava away from the Oreo-lovers during lunchtime. Michelle, apparently, became increasingly upset by the other mothers’ lack of sympathy regarding her anti-Oreo plight. The bizarre behavior inspired all the other mothers to pack two Oreos in their kids’ lunches the next day, with one mom sending the “doubled stuffed” version of the little delights, further infuriating Michelle. It’s an ongoing digital dispute that’s incited a firestorm of mixed reactions across social media. “Well Michelle, that sounds like a YOU problem. Also, I wasn’t going to pack Oreos for my kid, but I’ll make a special trip to the store to pick some up now,” joked a commenter. An Instagram account for Oreos expressed the brand’s shock over the controversy beneath Ashleigh’s vid. Brent Hofacker – stock.adobe.com“The audacity to even ask this. I would have simply said ‘No’, not respectfully. Y’all were too nice,” another chimed. “Oreo-gate was NOT on my 2026 bingo card,” wrote a verified account for the cookie brand. “Our job as a parent is not to control the environment so our kids never feel discomfort (re: remove Oreos),” noted another mother. “Our job is to help them ride through the disappointment/ envy they feel when others have things they don’t have.”“This level of control and anxiety around food is how kids end up bingeing at a friend’s house,” an equally concerned parent alarmed. “Tell her to buy her child a pack of Oreos and shut up,” barked a separate mom. “These group chat sagas are why I would NEVERRR be in a group chat again!!”

She never saw a door she couldn’t open and the doors she opened made and changed history.”He also shared, “Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.

Jenna Johnson Opens Up About Heartbreak Over DWTS Friends' Big Move

Jenna Johnson Opens Up About Heartbreak Over DWTS Friends' Big Move

Dancing With the Stars pro Jenna Johnson is missing Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd after their move from Los Angeles to Florida. “I think that they are absolutely thriving, and they love it there. I'm so happy to see them happy,” Jenna, 32, exclusively shared with Us on Thursday, August 20, while partnering with Orgain to introduce the brand’s new organic kids protein smoothies. “Are we heartbroken? Yes, because we literally lived in the same neighborhood for two years, and you forget how much you take advantage of that until they're gone, and then you're like, ‘What the heck were we doing?’” At the same time, Jenna understands why her extended family made the move to the Sunshine State as they raise their three sons Shai, 9, Rio, 3, and Milan, 2. “It just makes sense for their family, and it just fits them,” Jenna — who is married to Maks’ brother, Val Chmerkovskiy — explained. “They are so, like, beach goers, and Peta grew up in Australia. She loves that climate, that weather.” During a recent Instagram Q&A, Peta, 40, was asked why she packed her bags and moved across the country. The former DWTS pro revealed that she’s always loved the lifestyle in Florida. “We fell in love with Boca because it kind of has everything [and] the best of everything,” she explained. “Really close to Miami, we have the beach, like, 11 minutes from my house, really top-rated schools, amazing sports for the boys, great lifestyle. I know it gets hot, but we’re kind of in it right now.” When asked if she would ever consider a big move to Florida, Jenna admitted she and Val, 40, are “very content” in Los Angeles as they raise their 3-year-old son, Rome. At the same time, the Emmy-nominated choreographer believes in the philosophy that you “never say never.” “I mean, you never know, but I think for right now, we're gonna be just like bi-coastal family members and visit for holidays,” Jenna explained. “I think those moments will be so much more present and important when we do get to share them because we do miss them so much. But I’m so happy for them. They deserve it.” In Los Angeles, Jenna and Val continue to celebrate becoming homeowners for the first time. When exploring their home, you’ll likely find Orgain kids protein smoothies in the kitchen. “When we became parents, we wanted to give our kid the very best, and so I think one of the biggest things that we kind of switched and adjusted was only using organic or only eating organic,” Jenna shared. “When I was approached about this partnership with Orgain Kids — when all of the ingredients are organic, organic fruits, organic pea protein, no added sugars, no artificial flavors or colors — everything just felt aligned with how I want to parent, how I want to mother and just sort of the lifestyle that I want to represent and maintain.” Perfect for busy families as an easy lunchbox, after-school or on-the-go snack, the smoothies come in three kid-approved flavors, including mango peach, strawberry banana and cherry banana vanilla. “Rome loves the mango peach flavor, and it just was like, ‘Yes!’” Jenna said. “I love being able to advocate for other parents about what is on the market that's accessible, that is easy to take on the go, that's realistic for everyday life as a busy parent.”

Sandra Bullock Reveals How Her Kids Coped Differently with Bryan Randall's ALS Battle

Sandra Bullock Reveals How Her Kids Coped Differently with Bryan Randall's ALS Battle

Sandra Bullock is opening up about how her children, Louis, 16, and Laila, 12, each reacted to her late partner Bryan Randall’s battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Randall was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease in 2020 and died in August 2023 at age 57. Bullock, 62, shared on the Monday, August 24, episode of the “SmartLess” podcast that her son and daughter “could see” what was happening. “They’re very, very astute kids,” she said. “They not only see the physical change, there’s a behavior that changes in all of us,” the Oscar winner said. “I'm hypervigilant … I became manic in my vigilance,” she said, noting that she was not only looking after Randall but also responsible for hiring nurses to provide him in-home care. Bullock continued, “When I would bring things up to them, it was when they asked and when I could see them see it and ask them what it is that they want to do in this situation. ‘How do you want to handle what you just saw or where you are here?’” “Louis handled it very different than Laila,” she said. “About two years before Bryan passed, he saw it was a dynamic that wasn't healthy for him to be around. So, he's very evolved, he's like, ‘You know what, I'm here for you’ … but he chose to just sort of be there and support and help me on the things that were easy [for him]. But he smartly disengaged himself and said, ‘This is a safer space for me to sit,’ and I said, ‘Absolutely, you go. I got this.’” Laila, on the other hand, “was more bonded until about six months” before Randall’s death, said the Practical Magic 2 star. “And then she says, ‘Can you please say no when they call me over to go visit?’ and I said, ‘Absolutely, but if you do want to go visit, I will come with you and I will be right there and if you tap out, I'm right there.’” Bullock shared that she was “able to wall off a whole section” of her house with a different entrance for Randall and his care team because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which also made it easier for her kids to have space from the situation. The actress also revealed that Randall asked her not to share his diagnosis before his death, which “isolated me in the process.” “My sister [Gesine Bullock-Prado] was the only one who knew for a while,” Bullock said. “At first I go, ‘Oh, I can handle that. I can be quiet.’” “I think where he was in his journey, both physically and mentally, I started grieving Bryan four years before he passed,” she said of how she handled Randall’s diagnosis. “There was something that had shifted.” “My person left a lot earlier than the body left,” she added. “I don’t think I ever dealt with that until after he passed, because you’re just on this treadmill.”

Bonnie Blue's Baby Shower Shocks with Unexpected Adult Twist

Adult content creator Bonnie Blue recently made headlines by turning her baby shower into an explicit event.

Attendees took part in classic baby shower games involving diapers, stuffed animals, and baby food challenges before transitioning into adult activities. The main feature of the afternoon was an X-rated scene recorded for her paid subscribers. Now, two attendees have detailed their experience at the event, offering insight into how the day unfolded from an inside perspective. Inside the event with Tommy Lee Tommy Lee, a creator who has previously filmed content with Bonnie , described the atmosphere as upbeat despite the extreme nature of the activities. He shared that the overall vibe was good, noting that attendees spent four to five hours playing traditional games before moving on to the explicit filming. “I would say it was a very positive event. Bonnie was eager to get going. We played some games, and it was a fun, happy, positive vibe,” Lee told The Tab. Although he was familiar with her work, Tommy admitted to being surprised by the intensity of the event. He shared that he had sex with Bonnie, and then the main scene began.

It stunk, it was dirty, it really was. But, she was in her element. Then we finished up, got cleaned up and that was it.” Owain Laing details his experience Owain Laing, another attendee at the party, shared that he took part in a scene prior to the main group event.

Why Biohacker Bryan Johnson Chooses Separate Beds with His Girlfriend

Why Biohacker Bryan Johnson Chooses Separate Beds with His Girlfriend

Absence makes the heart grow fonder — and possibly live longer.Never one to shy away from sharing intimate details, biohacker Bryan Johnson recently revealed he’s never slept with his girlfriend of almost four years, Kate Tolo.In a video posted to social media, the longevity mogul explained the reasoning behind the separate beds, and what science has to say about the choice. Biohacker and “immortal uncle” Bryan Johnson recently revealed he’s never slept with his girlfriend of almost four years. Instagram/Bryan JohnsonWhile couples sleeping separately is often seen as a sign of trouble, the concept of “sleep divorce” isn’t new, with more people turning to two beds — and even two homes.In his video, Johnson — who once declared himself an “impossible partner” — answered the question of whether someone should sleep with their partner, admitting he never has.“Yes, you heard that right,” the founder of longevity startup Blueprint said in the video. “Kate and I have separate beds and separate homes.”He further explained in a post on X that the only thing he and Kate do in bed “is have sex,” which is unsurprising given his public boasting about his girlfriend’s near-perfect punani.His reasoning? Tucking in with a partner causes too many disruptions to sleep, a key factor in longevity, with a bad night’s rest speeding up biological aging.Johnson cited a 2020 study of 55 couples who woke up around six times per night, triggered by their partner.However, even the self-dubbed “immortal uncle” admits the science is split.A different study of 12 heterosexual couples found that sleeping together increased rapid eye movement (REM) sleep by 10% and tighter syncing of sleep stages between partners. Johnson cited studies that show partners who sleep together had more disruptions and woke up throughout the night. Bryan Johnson / XSleep data also varies by gender, with women sleeping worse with a man in bed while men sleep better with a partner.Being together may be better in the end, though, with Johnson sharing a 2022 survey of 1,000 adult couples who slept together self-reporting sleeping better overall, less insomnia, less fatigue and better mental health.“Happier and healthier people may just be more likely to share beds,” Johnson concluded.Couples who have their own nighttime abode have said the unique arrangement has helped their relationship thrive.“We began our relationship with this setup,” Kelsey Thompson previously told The Post about her dual-bedroom setup with her husband, which features two full-fledged primary bedrooms.A 2023 survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that 35% of Americans sleep in a separate room from their partner either occasionally or consistently.The concept has gained enough traction that sleep experts, relationship therapists and even hotels have begun catering to couples seeking better rest without sacrificing romance.Harvard Health even published guidance for couples navigating separate sleeping arrangements, noting that many report improved sleep quality and reduced tension.  When it came to whether someone should rest alone or get cozy between the sheets with their significant other, the biohacker said it depends.“For some couples, sleeping together improves sleep,” Johnson said. “For others, separate beds might save your sleep or your relationship. Possibly both.”But while they may not be sharing a bed anytime soon, Johnson will always have something personal from Tolo nearby, with some of her menstrual blood in his freezer.

Kroger's Beef Package Sparks Outrage After Shopper Claims 'Scam'

Kroger's Beef Package Sparks Outrage After Shopper Claims 'Scam'

This customer has big beef with Kroger.Kroger — a grocer typically known for its low price tags — was just called out for “robbing Americans blind” after a video went viral online showing the chain skimping out on steak. The video, which appears to have been removed or deleted from TikTok, was reposted by popular X account Wall Street Apes.The clip shows a Kroger shopper scooping up two packages of the store’s ground beef patties, which claim to be on sale. The package advertises a reduced price of $1.80 per pound at $3.60, which means there should be two pounds in each package.  The Kroger shopper claims the grocery store “scammed” him X / @WallStreetApesLooking a bit thin, the shopper picks up the meat and places it on the fruit scale where it’s revealed that the beef is less than a pound — a move that the poster calls “fraud.” The customer then placed both of the packages of ground beef on the scale and found that the weight was still under two pounds.He did this another time to be sure, and was stunned at the “scam” Kroger was allegedly pulling.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of ground beef per pound is $6.89. The poster did its own research and found that the average price at Kroger is about $6 to $8 per pound, depending on the state. The user claims if it’s weighing under a pound but showing two pounds worth of price — it “only means that we are being robbed.”“That means the price marked is the discounted price; it’s not being discounted further. We have to keep calling this out,” the X post read.Americans are being robbed blindThis ground beef at Kroger is on sale for $1.80 per pound. The price is $3.60. That means there should be 2 poundsAmericans walks from scale to scale and shows the amount of meat is under 1 pound… but it’s marked and sold as 2 poundsThis is… pic.twitter.com/r63DNFGrDQ— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) August 20, 2026The video racked up over 584,000 views with commenters flooding the post to weigh in. “Not only are we being robbed, [but] they are also insulting our intelligence, assuming they can just get away with us and no one would notice,” one wrote. The X poster said the average price at Kroger is about $6 to $8 per pound Getty ImagesAnother said on X that they have even boycotted the chain after finding similar pricing tactics years ago. “We stopped shopping at Kroger almost a decade ago because we found every time prices rang higher than posted or advertised for many items. For a time we photographed prices for each item but the hassle became unbearable. Always rang higher, never lower.”The Post reached out to Kroger for comment.Grocery prices have steadily been on the rise for nearly five years, with Americans seeing the biggest surge in 2021 and 2022 after inflation spiked. Recent reports now put beef prices at record highs due to the smallest US cattle herd in 75 years.Costs have gotten so high that President Trump recently announced plans to lift tariffs on beef imports for 90 days in hopes of bringing down already sky-high prices. The president said he has a “commitment” to sell beef at 25% below current market prices, which would help American ranchers to rebuild their herds.

This customer has big beef with Kroger.Kroger — a grocer typically known for its low price tags — was just called out for “robbing Americans blind” after a video went viral online showing the chain skimping out on steak. The video, which appears to have been removed or deleted from TikTok, was reposted by popular X account Wall Street Apes.The clip shows a Kroger shopper scooping up two packages of the store’s ground beef patties, which claim to be on sale. The package advertises a reduced price of $1.80 per pound at $3.60, which means there should be two pounds in each package.  The Kroger shopper claims the grocery store “scammed” him X / @WallStreetApesLooking a bit thin, the shopper picks up the meat and places it on the fruit scale where it’s revealed that the beef is less than a pound — a move that the poster calls “fraud.” The customer then placed both of the packages of ground beef on the scale and found that the weight was still under two pounds.He did this another time to be sure, and was stunned at the “scam” Kroger was allegedly pulling.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of ground beef per pound is $6.89. The poster did its own research and found that the average price at Kroger is about $6 to $8 per pound, depending on the state. The user claims if it’s weighing under a pound but showing two pounds worth of price — it “only means that we are being robbed.”“That means the price marked is the discounted price; it’s not being discounted further. We have to keep calling this out,” the X post read.Americans are being robbed blindThis ground beef at Kroger is on sale for $1.80 per pound. The price is $3.60.

The X poster said the average price at Kroger is about $6 to $8 per pound Getty ImagesAnother said on X that they have even boycotted the chain after finding similar pricing tactics years ago. “We stopped shopping at Kroger almost a decade ago because we found every time prices rang higher than posted or advertised for many items. For a time we photographed prices for each item but the hassle became unbearable. Always rang higher, never lower.”The Post reached out to Kroger for comment.Grocery prices have steadily been on the rise for nearly five years, with Americans seeing the biggest surge in 2021 and 2022 after inflation spiked. Recent reports now put beef prices at record highs due to the smallest US cattle herd in 75 years.Costs have gotten so high that President Trump recently announced plans to lift tariffs on beef imports for 90 days in hopes of bringing down already sky-high prices. The president said he has a “commitment” to sell beef at 25% below current market prices, which would help American ranchers to rebuild their herds.
