Hayden Panettiere is finally addressing one of the harshest accusations that has followed her for years: that she “abandoned” her young daughter, Kaya Evdokia Klitschko.
In an interview published on Monday, May 11, the actress opened up about her decision to relinquish full custody of her now 11-year-old daughter back in 2018, a move that, at the time, led many to label her a “horrible mother.”
But according to Panettiere, the reality behind the decision was far more complicated and emotionally devastating than many people realized.
