Hayden Panettiere’s Mum Lashes ‘Haters’ as Former Child Stars Call for Protection
Lesley Vogel defends her mourning process for daughter Hayden and son Jansen, telling critics they lack the right to judge her grief after losing both children.
- On Sunday, Lesley Vogel defended her mourning process in an ABC News interview following her daughter Hayden Panettiere's death at 36, calling critics "haters" who "don't have a right to tell me how to mourn the loss of my second child."
- Hayden Panettiere died on August 17, 2026, marking a second tragedy for Vogel, who lost her son Jansen Panettiere in February 2023. The 70-year-old reflected on both losses during a Monday appearance on Good Morning America.
- Recounting the moment she learned of the death, Vogel confessed she "couldn't feel anything" initially. She emphasized resilience: "I have been knocked down throughout my life... I have the strength to get back up."
- Fellow former child stars spoke out about industry pressures following the death. Anna Paquin wrote on Instagram that it is "not a coincidence that so many former... child stars have profoundly sad lives and untimely ends."
- Gilbert criticized the lack of federal laws protecting child actors, noting protections are governed state-to-state. She argued, "It really seems like no one cares enough to enact real change" until another tragedy occurs.
