| There is a good cover story in the new People about her. She looks lovely. |
| She had a terrible childhood and was clearly taken advantage of and given drugs. Pretty sure she was sexually abused or assaulted in Hollywood. She states her reasons for sending her daughter to live with her father, I actually think it was the right decision. |
| I thought she was great in Heroes and Nashville so I’m rooting for her. I hope her daughter is well. I got the impression that dad had a strong extended family network in Ukraine (his brother is mayor of Kyiv) and she has no supportive family, so sending her to live in what was a very nice country with lots of cousins and so forth seems like it was a good call, rather than bouncing her around to a mom that wasn’t fit to care for her. |
The rumors I've heard is that she was sexually abused by her parents and passed around Hollywood. |
DP. You can (for now) force a woman to give birth but you can't force them to be a parent. There are plenty of women, just as there are plenty of men, who are perfectly fine just walking away from their children and not being in their lives. |
"I never had the feeling that I wanted to harm my child, but I didn't want to spend any time with her," says Panettiere, who didn't drink during her pregnancy but fell off the wagon after Kaya was born. "There was just this gray color in my life." The actress would sneak away to drink, and her relationship with Klitschko, whom she began dating in 2009, began to crumble. "He didn't want to be around me," she recalls. "I didn't want to be around me. But with the opiates and alcohol I was doing anything to make me feel happy for a moment. Then I'd feel worse than I did before. I was in a cycle of self-destruction." At her lowest point, "I would have the shakes when I woke up and could only function with sipping alcohol," says Panettiere. In 2018, the year Nashville ended, the actress made the heartbreaking decision to send Kaya to live with Klitschko (from whom she had split) in Ukraine. "It was the hardest thing I ever had to do," she says. "But I wanted to be a good mom to her — and sometimes that means letting them go." [i] |
| It seems like there are so many of these random girls who end up sort of minor celebrities because they had horrible abusive parents who wanted them to be famous. They're never great talents with lasting careers, or even great beauties. They do a show and a couple of movies, briefly partner with a brand, make enough money to not really have to work again, but have these wretched lives. It's really sad. |
And yet you come back to respond to me and spew more vitriol about a person you don't know and will never know. And I'm not the outlier, read the thread again. |
| Where are your threads about the many, many, many men in Hollywood who have a child or children they do not see, often from multiple mothers? |
Exactly. The DCUM harpies are out in full force on this one with no empathy whatsoever. |
Which ones did you start? |
We had one on Nick Cannon but that was deleted. |
This thread is not about a man, so it doesn’t matter. There was an article on People recently about Hayden, so a thread was started to discuss. If there’s an article about a man recently that I dislike, I will post a new thread. Is that ok with you? |
She was referencing her postpartum depression, not how she feels now: "Those were really tough years," says Panettiere, who suffered from severe postpartum depression after Kaya was born. "I could relate to a lot of those storylines like the alcoholism and postpartum depression. They hit close to home." Panettiere sought treatment for her depression, but still found herself struggling — and increasingly independent on alcohol to get through the day. "I never had the feeling that I wanted to harm my child, but I didn't want to spend any time with her," says Panettiere, who didn't drink during her pregnancy but fell off the wagon after Kaya was born. "There was just this gray color in my life." |
