Hayden Panettiere opens up like never before ahead of the release of her memoir «It's Me: A Confession». In an interview with Jay Shetty on his podcast «On Purpose» in May 2026, the «Scream VI» actress spoke about her difficult past, including postpartum depression, addictions, public pressure, and personal relationships. Her comments about her estrangement from her mother shocked fans, as Hayden claimed that «everything» in their relationship was «business».
«I became a confidant, an assistant, a therapist, and a shoulder to lean on, but not her child», - Hayden stated.
During the interview, Hayden recalled a conversation with her mother when she was a child. As a rising star, her personal brand (acting career) paid the family’s bills—from car payments to phone expenses—putting her in an «incredibly uncomfortable» position.
«At the same time, I was working hard, making money, and that money was going towards things I had no idea about», - Hayden added.
Learn about Hayden’s complicated relationship with her mother, who she is, and what happened between them.
Hayden’s mother is Leslie R. Vogel (née Panettiere). Like her daughter, Leslie also worked as an actress. According to her IMDb profile, Leslie produced the film «Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List» and appeared in «The Sensei» and «Love».
According to Hayden, she ended her business relationship with Leslie many years ago, and Leslie allegedly claimed that the «Heroes» actress owed her money.
«I told her, 'I don’t want us to work together. I just want you to be my mom,'» Hayden recounted in the «On Purpose» podcast interview. «I remember being full of hope. But I also didn’t expect a reaction like, 'You owe me.' And that was all she said. And she walked out».
Hayden continued, «It was disappointing to find out that it was about money. The fact that she didn’t care about having a relationship with me was a hard blow».
The «Scream 4» actress noted that she «desperately wanted to feel like she had parents to lean on», - so it hurt her to realize that her mother seemed to only care about finances.
Hayden’s father, Alan Lee «Skip» Panettiere, and her mother divorced in 2016. He worked as a lieutenant in the fire department.
It is unclear whether Hayden maintains a relationship with her father after her estrangement from her mother
