Mom Slams Hayden's Memoir: "20 Years of Trauma!"
14 May
Summary
- Hayden's estranged mother criticizes her memoir.
- She accuses the actress of exploiting trauma for profit.
- The mother cites a "need for control" and "lack of empathy".
Hayden Panettiere's estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, has voiced strong disapproval of her daughter's forthcoming memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning." Vogel suggested the book exploits "20 years of trauma" primarily as a "cash grab" rather than a tool for healing.
Vogel described a personality style characterized by a "need for control, entitlement and a lack of empathy." She stated that years of support were insufficient and ultimately led her to initiate no-contact with her daughter.
The mother also expressed concerns about how their fractured relationship and professional split are depicted in the memoir. Vogel's recent questioning of Panettiere's bisexuality claims further highlights the ongoing tension between them.
