Hayden Panettiere texts reveal mother's cruelty

Actress Ruby Rose has released text messages purportedly from the late Hayden Panettiere, suggesting the actress experienced significant emotional distress due to her mother, Lesley Vogel's, alleged cruelty. One message, reportedly sent by Panettiere, states, "I was sobbing over her cruelty yesterday thinking, my god I'm 36 and she can still cause this kind of pain." This revelation follows Vogel's public comments, where she criticized Panettiere's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and suggested her daughter had "lost her way."

These messages from Panettiere, shared on Wednesday, offer a different perspective on the star's relationship with her mother, which Panettiere had previously described as strained. In a May interview, Panettiere revealed she ended professional ties with Vogel at age 19, wishing for her to be a mother rather than a business associate. The cause of Panettiere's death on Sunday remains under investigation, with officials stating there were no immediate signs of trauma.
