What Is Going On With the Influencer Mom Group? Breaking Down Drama
One influencer mom group is taking over the internet with their drama — and it’s messy.
The drama began on December 3, when content creator Rachel Graham shared a tell-all TikTok to explain why her friendships with fellow influencers Meaghan Mattei, Mandi (@whatmandi) and Gina (@hotgina1) were over. The group was known as the “Wolfpack” online.
“It’s just as big of a shock to me as it is to you,” Rachel said in her video earlier this month, which was shared under the @kaleighs_mom username. “I was truly, truly blindsided by this.”
The video has since amassed more than 1.8 million views, with the internet divided on where they stand amid the back-and-forth (and Us can’t help but think of the OG MomTokers!).
“Spilling the tea so we can just be done, move on, and this all be over with,” Rachel captioned the video.

What Happened With the Influencer Mom Group?
Rachel alleged in her video that the drama began when she commented on a Facebook post of someone who stopped being friends with Meaghan. According to Rachel, Meaghan allegedly texted Mandi and Gina that she was upset by the comment. Gina allegedly went to text in their group chat with Rachel asking why she commented on the post.
“I felt like Gina was really f*****g rude, if we’re honest. I just felt like she was being really aggressive, really harsh and rude,” Rachel recalled, noting that she wrote back: “I’m like, ‘It’s social media, it’s Facebook. It’s not that deep.’”
Rachel claimed that Mandi began replying in the text, leading her to feel like the pair were “ganging up” on her and “questioning [her] loyalty.”
“I’m embarrassed even saying this out loud. It is as childish as it sounds, and I’m so f*****g embarrassed by it,” she said. “I still to this day stand 10 toes down, I did nothing wrong. I didn’t try to hurt Meaghan. This person that I commented on the Facebook post has never been malicious towards Meaghan. She’s never done anything to hurt Meaghan.”
While reflecting on the drama, Rachel shared that she “probably should have texted Meaghan on the side” to ask why Mandi and Gina were upset. “I was fighting for my life over here,” Rachel said, noting that she’s been “a good friend” to Meaghan.
Instead, the group chat was silent after their back-and-forth. Rachel alleged that she then replied to the chat by making a joke, prompting Gina to ask if they could “have a serious conversation.”
“I thought that conversation ended fine,” Rachel noted. “Had no idea otherwise.”
Afterward, however, the group chat went silent and Meaghan left their conversation. When Rachel asked what had happened, Meaghan allegedly said she “had to take a step back.” While Rachel began “hashing it out” in the other chat, she said it “just kept blowing up from there.”
Rachel went on to share that her husband “had one too many beers” and sent “an ugly text” in a group message with Meaghan and her husband. “He was pissed and he’s hurt,” Rachel said.
What Have the Other Moms Said in the Influencer Mom Group?
In the days following Rachel’s TikTok, Gina addressed the drama and claimed that the video was “completely misleading and unfair.”
“Me and Mandi were lied to our whole friendship by grown women might I add. I don’t need anyone to feel sorry for us, we don’t need a pity party, we’re not victims,” Gina wrote via TikTok. “I do not care what people think of me on social media because I know exactly who I am.”
Mandi, meanwhile, clapped back at the claim that their friendship fell apart over a Facebook comment. “That’s not why our friendship ended,” Mandi said, per People. “Our friendship ended because Rachel got caught up.”
“All I can say is, I thought these people were my family. We would spend 4-5 days together at a time,” Mandi said in a statement to People. “Our families all knew each other. Knowing now that they didn’t actually care for me, and only wanted me around so that Gina would come around is heartbreaking, to me. I had a feeling for a while Rachel didn’t like me, but she would say that she loved me, our friendship we talked every single day in the group chat, so I put that discernment aside.”
“I tell my kids ALL the time ‘if something doesn’t feel right, it isn’t right,’” Mandi continued. “And I should have taken my own advice. I told my daughter just today “if someone is talking so poorly about someone else and then embracing them and calling them a best friend to their face- RUN.”
Meaghan appeared to subtly reply to the drama. “I’m saying this from a place of exhaustion and hurt: this situation has gone way too far,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “My kids and my close friends are being bullied and talked about because of things other people are posting in my name. That is not OK. If you’re truly a decent person then stop contributing to the chaos and stop giving people ammo to attack the people I love.”
She continued, “My children did not sign up for this. My friends did not sign up for this. I’m drawing a hard boundary right now — leave them out of it. I’m done being silent while the people closest to me pay the price. If you can’t respect that, then don’t claim to ‘care about me’ at all.”
Us Weekly reached out to Meaghan for comment.
What Has the Internet Said About the Mom Group Drama?
The internet has begun taking sides on the drama.
“I never liked Mandy and Gina, blocked them. Megan i just don’t understand. Protect your peace, you are better off. Always like you better,” one user wrote on Rachel’s TikTok, while a separate user on Gina’s video, “[Here] is what I’m not understanding…y’all are adults, you talked and figured it amongst yourselves…so why is it anyone’s business but y’all’s! I like who I like and I’m not picking a side for someone I do not PERSONALLY know or that has PERSONALLY hurt me or my family! #getalife #weirdbehavior.”
