Hallmark Channel star Holly Robinson Peete is calling out Hayden Panettiere‘s estranged mother Lesley Vogel for her statement on her daughter’s tragic passing.
Lesley Vogel’s statement on Hayden Panettiere’s death
Here’s what Hayden‘s mother said in her first statement on the tragedy.
“This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson,” she told NBC News. Hickerson was Hayden‘s on-again/off-again boyfriend, and was with her when she was pronounced dead.
“I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry — it is a struggle and it’s a very challenging industry and it’s not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path,” she said.
Holly Robinson Peete saw Gayle King’s viral reaction to the statement
Holly took to X/Twitter to respond to Gayle‘s statements.
“She’s not wrong,” she began. “We know this young lady clearly had so many issues, but if you’re not gonna take accountability for the fact that you put her in the business that eventually messed her up then nothing you say has any integrity.”
She continued, “She didn’t even say ‘I will miss my daughter’ or ‘I loved my daughter the best way I could.’ Has she even mentioned the word daughter? There were so many things she could have said to show us that she was a caring, mother… And now both of her children are gone. It is all so tragic.”
If you don’t know, Hayden and her mother were estranged.
