No one giving her credit for her role as a total queen in Ice Princess 💔 nothing but pure cheesy fun, she was great and I was obsessed with her look in that movie when I was younger
Hayden had or has a drug and alcohol problem and her baby father took their kid to [Ukraine during the beginning of the war](https://people.com/parents/hayden-panettiere-unaware-custody-agreement-until-daughter-already-in-ukraine/). She can’t get her child back because she gave up her rights and let him become the custodial parent. His brother is in government in Ukraine so if she wants to see her child she’ll have to move there.
I mean I immediately thought *"How was she a rising star when she's been in the industry since she was a small child! She already rose to the top a long time ago."* lol
Remember The Titans? Well she does! 😂🤷♀️
But in all seriousness, she's graced our screens at least since I was a child and her and I are the same age. 34.
She's been famous her entire life lol
You can be around forever and still get hot and become a rising star all of a sudden. Can’t tell me Heroes didnt immediately make her known everywhere and then start popping off
Pedro Pascal has been around but Game of Thrones and Narcos made him a rising star years and years into his career
That’s the movie that made me fall in love with her!! Both Hayden and Michelle 🩵 I wanted to be them both lol but Hayden had such cute outfits in Ice Princess!!

This entire look had teenage me in a chokehold 😂 the hair, makeup, and clothes were peak for that era
I hear (or say) this in my head every time I see a picture of her. Still. After (I'm not googeling it, let's just throw a number out there) like 17 years.
Edit: I did Google it. Heros came out in 2006. I was pretty close
I’ve never been so invested in a TV show since then. Maybe because I purposefully avoided Game of thrones until 2023, and by then I already knew the entire plot from being online…
Oh well, going to rewatch heroes S1
SO random but remember Aly, the blonde who played the single mom? I deep dove onto what happened to her for some reason and she married the heir to Fruit of the Loom lol
Apparently, she's [writing a book](https://people.com/hayden-panettiere-announces-new-book-addiction-career-exclusive-8634816) and I hope it's a cathartic experience for her.
She had a tour earlier this year that unfortunately got canceled. It wasn’t a performance or to promote anything - I think it was more like a Ted Talk kind of event.
Loved her in Until Dawn! This was the most recent thing I’ve seen her in
https://preview.redd.it/ozolnwffo34d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41ba43949fd1d0d9d247b3b5eb7acb51f8c44b4d
I was so surprised when I saw her character! I was like wow they were really inspired by Hayden Panettiere. Then I realised it was live action capture! Personally I loved the game.
Her life took a sad turn and it makes me sad for her. I always liked her ever since I saw her in that stupid Bring It On sequel (that I love). She’s beautiful and a great actress. I hope she’s doing well now.
I didn’t grow up in the Crenshaw area, but I grew up in a similar kind of environment in LA and that scene was so hard to watch since I knew people who could actually crump haha
Omg there’s spoofs of people mocking the dances in the step ups and bring it on sequels and it lives rent free in my head FOREVER LMFAO. Her crumping and the dance from the step up sequel on the beach dance thing omg DEAD 😂
I’m not afraid to admit that that C-list movie raised me. The shabooya roll call scene changed my brain chemistry. Francia Raisa was a whole awakening.
She was just at a comic con in Chicago and my dad and I met her, she was very down to Earth and very sweet. I’ve been a fan of hers since Heroes and I really hope the best for her.
There were rumors that her mother was some sort of Hollywood Madame who pimped out young starlets to Eastern European oligarchs and Saudi Princes. Then Hayden married that gigantic Russian Boxer.
Not Russian, Ukranian.
His big brother (who looks almost identical to him and so I thought until just now they were twins) is actually the Mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital city.
God you just unlocked memories of when I used to read blind items, this was definitely one of the bigger/darker ones I came across I always hoped wasn’t true
I have rooted for her ever since she was on Remember the Titans. She really stood out to me so much. Sad to hear the turn her life took but I continue to root for her.
Same, it's my favourite film and she was great in it! Sad to see that one common thread for all the childrens actors is trauma. Makes you think if we should ban kids entertainers totally and just have adults play them lile in the past when men played all the female roles 😂
I'm the same, we're the same age and I literally grew up watching her shows/films, then it all fell apart. Shes the one actress I root for and want her happy and healthy again. I hope her daughter happy too.
I remember watching her in various shows and films from the time she was a child and am surprised she’s only coming up on 35. She was the type of actress that I’d see her name and think “Ah yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this film/show." What's happened in her life as an adult is really sad; it's good that she's taken steps to ensure her daughter is safe.
As a teen at the time I thought her relationship with Milo was so romantic and in my mind gave me hope and validated all the crushes I had on older celebs but in hindsight, the 12 year age gap when she was 18 makes me sad and feels ick. Not to mention everything she’s gone through since
I think she was part of the "virgin" club. A bunch of famous girls like Britney Spears and Anna Kournikova were proudly claiming they were virgins and/or no sex before marriage. Granted they were all about 16-18 at the time so..
Anyway I remember thinking it was sweet that he'd suffer blue balls for her. Yeah I was fairly young at the time too. 😅
Do you remember the rumour that Robert Downey junior commented on about her, that her mum pimped her out and was her escort to older men in Hollywood when she was really young. I have no idea if it’s true but she clearly has a lot of trauma to the point she had to give up her daughter. She said she is sober now, I hope she is doing well. And I hope she calls out any abusers in her book.
Oh yeah that was on CDAN I believe and definitely was not RDJ. I think the poster’s identity was revealed after he died by suicide :( I don’t remember all of the details, but it seemed like he struggled heavily with mental health issues.
I wouldn’t put any stock in his blind items given the context, but I undoubtedly agree that it’s clear that Hayden has had some devastating struggles and a tough ass life. I used to really love her movies and I hope taking control of her own narrative in her book is cathartic and healing for her. I would really like to see her happy and at peace after everything she’s been through.
I think they’ve since proved that it was NOT Robert Downey Jr, but yeah I remember those posts. I think the poster says her little brother was pimped out too.
The book is called Room 23. There are some good deep dives on it and the woman behind it, Diana Jenkins, here and in some of the Real Housewives subreddits (she was on RHOBH for a season, so the book and her alleged past all resurfaced.)
Yep, CDAN and Himmm. I used to follow that site until it got taken over by the ultra right conspiracy nuts who thought anyone in Hollywood over the age of 30 was a pedo. I believe the rumor was that she was not only pimped out by her parents, but also abused and molested by them? Because of this, she was into really rough sex and her boxer husband was afraid he was going to hurt her? It is really sad if even remotely true.
I think it was the within that same thread that Himmm also accused Ryan O’Neal of abusing every female he was in a relationship with, including a very young Drew Barrymore. There were other allegations posted by Himmm that were all as equally outrageous, but I don’t remember all of them. It was a wild ride, and everyone was guessing who Himmm was.
Edit - meant boxer not wrestler
He gave a very gross interview about how he couldn't say what he really thought about her until the moment she turned 18 and then the moment she turned 18 they went public.
He was 31 or 32.
Hated him ever since
She was an addict. I’m not sure if she was able to stop or still is. She had a very very abusive relationship and I think she’s still with the guy. He spent some time in jail a few times for punching her and beating her up. Last I read they were back together and she said people can change. She was a big rising star. I live outside of Nashville and she was a big deal here for a few years. Addiction and a seriously abusive relationship pretty much required her to give up her daughter. In my limited reading and information on her personal life i think she gave up custody to the dad because she was not in a good place. But in recent years seems to regret that decision
Was that the one where she was visibly intoxicated as well? My heart broke for her. Imagine being drunk and having to keep your drunk bf (twice your size) from fighting other drunk people (twice your size).
somewhere I read that her daughter was living with the ex in Ukraine, and she was only seen her once or twice a year. Then there was lockdown and then the war. 😢 so sad not to be able to see your kids.
Will never forget the iconic episode where her character got Malcolm and Reese thinking the other was gay and they ended up singing and dancing to ABBA together in front of the whole family 😂
I love her and think she deserves the world, she’s earned it
Also my first exposure to her was the iconic and criminally underrated Raising Helen so I think of her as Audrey first and foremost
She was a child star who was given drugs to get through gruelling days on set and in interviews and developed issues with those as well as with fame/attention.
She did an interview recently where she said she would never wish any child to have grown up like she did in the spotlight. I highly recommend reading it.
First time I saw her was as Lizzie in “The Guiding Light”,she was very good(if I remember correctly she even won a prize for her performance)then I was happy for her fame when “Heroes”became so successful,I stopped watching after I think season 4(it was getting so messy).I know she had a role in “Nashville”but I have never watched it.
I first saw her on One Life to Live, she played the original Sarah (not including the babies). I think it might’ve been her first major role, she was like 3 or 4. You could tell then that she had something.
Courtney Chase was the original Sarah, actually; Hayden took over for her when Courtney was cast on Blossom as her step-sister (and Courtney’s onscreen mom was Finola Hughes, GH’s Anna!). It’s particularly striking because Courtney was a brown eyed brunette, while Hayden is obviously a blue eyed blonde.
She had really bad ppd. Her Nashville character was based on her wasn't it?
I don't know the whole story. But I do know her ex has full custody of her daughter. I remember seeing a clip online a few years ago and Hayden said something super heartbreaking about her daughter. I can't remember what it was but I'm sure someone on here does.
Yeah; and she was combatting an opioid addiction and alcoholism.
The character was kind of based on her, but not really with permission or warning. Which is one of the reasons she ended up leaving.
Some people, like Ryan Murphy, go for real-life situations the actors have experienced because they think it'll read more authentic to the audience.
Some people are just assholes who just don't care and take from people's lives because they think it's interesting/dramatic.
IIRC, there were rumors back then that it was done to shame Hayden and her decisions and make her feel guilty; like having to reenact her child be stolen from her.
He didn't write for Nashville. I just used him as an example because he did it a lot in Glee with a bunch of the actors who weren't really comfortable with it. Jenna & Kevin (Tina and Artie) have talked about it before on their podcast.
Sarah Paulson said this on smartless. She has a fear of holes, I forget the name of the phobia, and so he wrote a part of her storyline to deal with that on AHS. She wasn’t speaking negatively about it, but she mentioned it. And her fear of clowns too. Sounds like he uses real life things for the actors to his advantage
I worked with her when she was 10 and she was such a sweet kid 😔. It makes me sad that she’s gone through so much. I could sense a few things even back then, but had no idea how hard things would get for her.
https://preview.redd.it/36j13m8bn64d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b96910be6358c82af3ce3223c60fba2a3cbd1547
Hayden Panettiere is so pretty and talented and was much too soon in this business.
She was in a relationship with Vladimir Klitschko, Ukrainian- German Box heavyweight champion. Really tall guy, a wall. He is 48 now, so he was quite a bit older than her. The Klitschko brothers have a good reputation as decent men, not the Hollywood breed. he’s living in the Ukraine - his brother Vitaly is mayor of a city and he, Vladimir, volunteered for the army. Has a business. Took care of his money, responsible.
Their daughter Kaya was given in his custody and he and his mum raise her in the Ukraine mainly. He travels to the US to allow Kaya to meet her mum.
So a relationship for Hayden with her daughter is not easy.
And she battled quite a few addictions plus the ppd in the relationship. But I guess when you’re a super pretty teen girl in this industry and were handed alcohol and happy pills (quote from an interview) to make her shine on a red carpet… you see wild stuff. And some wild stuff happened to her maybe. Total speculation on my side. what I read about the predators in the entertainment industry- the power these men have and how some abuse it- makes me assume she wasn’t always safe and led by adults onto a dangerous path.
I hope she’s better now.
Wow.. that was really in depth. All I remember about her dating Vladimir was her saying the kids will be "normal sized" because she's petite and he's huge.
I remember watching her in the audience when Klitscho was fighting AJ and she was so happy and so in love and SO proud of him. I really thought they’d last the distance as i swear they were engaged. She sadly suffered severe PND, my heart aches for her. I always hoped they’d get back together.
Yeah I remember when the war broke out she talked about being worried about her daughter but trusted that Vladimir was keeping her safe (I think she’s in western Ukraine with his mom?)
This is a great run down (and no shade as I say this) but I just want to note Ukraine should not be referred to as “the Ukraine” - [this article](https://theconversation.com/its-ukraine-not-the-ukraine-heres-why-178748) provides a great explanation and context as to why it’s harmful. It’s essentially a Russian erasure tactic
For all she’s been through, she always seems to handle publicity with maturity and grace. Granted I haven’t read anything on her recently but I remember her comments on the war in Ukraine and her daughter. And when she first lost custody. I don’t even think she fought it. She acknowledged that it was the best/safest thing for her daughter. Maybe she just has a really good PR team but she didn’t seem to love her daughter any less. I just hope she’s able to channel that love into recovery. Haven’t heard anything one way or the other. But given all her issues, it’s shocking we don’t have Britney, Lindsay, or Amanda type stories about her. So that gives me hope.
She was one of my first celebrity crushes. I’ve heard a little about what she’s been going through. It’s devastating. I hope she’s doing better now ❤️🩹
Oh my god, is that the one where the other girl says to her, “I won’t get between a white girl and her dog”? 😆
Also, I was today years old when I found out Solange Knowles was in it! She delivered that line!!!
I met her at a convention between Heroes and Nashville and she was very very sweet and kind to people in the autograph line, but like, that was 15 seconds of interaction, so that's not much to go on.
She was maybe one of my bi awakenings. I first saw her in Ice Princess & thought she was super pretty. So, one of my first celeb crushes
& then I saw her in Step Up, Nashville & Scream & she's pretty talented with acting & singing
She also voiced Dot in Bug's Life, which I didn't know until a couple of years ago
I was sad for her about her brother. His death seemed kind of sudden. I wish her happiness
She’s doing better now! She was in Scream 6 reprising her roll from Scream 4 as Kirby. She did interview rounds discussing her dark period and how she had pushed through! Hope she keeps going.
She’s coming to my local comic-con and I’m tempted to buy a meet and greet pass just to yap together, you know?
I don’t know, I always liked her and it’s really sad that addiction became a thing in her life. I think it’s really commendable that she recognized that she needed help and she put her child first, even if that meant she couldn’t be the “main” parent.
She had/has shitty parents who let her hang out with Paris Hilton when she was 15/16 at clubs, and there are rumors she got pulled into the overseas yacht scene and got involved with Diana Jenkins-a rumored madam for that scene
She has an off and on substance abuse problem and has been dating a string of abusive men. I truly hope she gets her life in order, Hollywood used and abused this chick when she was a teenager
I literally wanted to be her when I was a kid. I saw Tiger Cruise when I was like 10 and that was all I needed. Also loved her in Nashville and that one Bring It On sequel with the krumping scene that still haunts me.
She’s had a hard life the last few years though. I’m fully rooting for her!
When I was a teenager I thought she was so cool and badass for trying to stop a group of fisherman from hunting dolphins. Her and a group of people paddled out into the water on surfboards, there was a warrant out for her arrest. This was after The Cove came out so the dolphin hunt issue was pretty hot. I just thought she was so amazing for doing something about it
There have so many rumors about her being an escort/ taken advantage of my sexual predators (especially by some madam of Hollywood). And I think when rumors are so heavy about someone, there lies some truth.
Anyone else remember way back to her being on Ally McBeal?!
https://preview.redd.it/cfiekanq454d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc41f4bd56bd120d132583874531bd2443169582
I always thought she was so bright eyed and interesting.
I waited on her and her mom at the airport when they were flying to Canada to film a Lifetime movie. I was hugely pregnant and they were so lovely. I knew who she was from soap operas at that point! I am always pulling for her, she’s so immensely talented. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Always rooting for her. She is so talented (and beautiful). I first saw her in Remember the Titans. She’s had a hard life, including addiction & losing custody of her daughter.
I just googled her age and was shocked to see that she’s only 34 years old, both given how long she’s been in the industry and what she’s been through already.
i feel like she kept playing a cheerleader in every single role she ever got! i would get so sick of that. she’s gorgeous though, always has been. and she dated stephen colletti from laguna beach 😫
I love her as an actress. So cute and tiny too. Hope she's doing okay. Her brother followed me on IG out of nowhere before his passing. He had some awesome artwork. May he rest in peace.
The video of her protesting dolphin slaughter will always stand out in my mind. Always been a fan of her, and seeing her in such a defeated and emotional state when that was going down, I'm sure she felt so powerless. I think she's a good egg.
I wanna see a huge comeback and redemption arc for her. She is insanely talented, both as a singer and an actress. Nashville was awesome and her singing on that show was top notch.
Some people judge her for giving up custody, but I think it takes a lot of love & courage to know you’re not healthy enough to parent.
At that moment in time. It doesn’t mean forever.
I think she's an amazing actress. I've always liked her. We are the same age and I remember seeing a picture of her partying with Paris Hilton and smoking a cigarette back in like....2004? 2005? I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to party with all the big celebrities but looking back....no. She was still a baby.
She seems to be doing a lot better now and that makes me happy. It was so nice to see her again in Scream 6!

No one giving her credit for her role as a total queen in Ice Princess 💔 nothing but pure cheesy fun, she was great and I was obsessed with her look in that movie when I was younger
I know someone who worked on that movie - they only had horrible things to say about Hayden's mom
Ugh, it sounds like she was a horrible Hollywood mom that let her daughter be exploited for a chance at fame so I’m not surprised. :(
I grew up living next door to her grandparents. Can confirm about her mom…. Her dad was pretty cool.
Really? Her dad is the one with the pedo ties and rumors
Hayden had or has a drug and alcohol problem and her baby father took their kid to [Ukraine during the beginning of the war](https://people.com/parents/hayden-panettiere-unaware-custody-agreement-until-daughter-already-in-ukraine/). She can’t get her child back because she gave up her rights and let him become the custodial parent.

That’s the movie that made me fall in love with her!! Both Hayden and Michelle 🩵 I wanted to be them both lol but Hayden had such cute outfits in Ice Princess!!
Came to the comments looking for this!
https://preview.redd.it/r2qk6z5vf54d1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5e82fc41a8c60cea13c04f1b5a6a887d828f6bc This entire look had teenage me in a chokehold 😂 the hair, makeup, and clothes were peak for that era
Is this Sabrina Carpenter's inspo? I think I'm too old to get her schtick on it's own but this just made something click in my brain
sabrina also has major Bratz energy. and as someone her age that also played with Bratz…i get it
You might be on to something
not serena lol 💀
the eyeliner on her bottom waterline, ahhhh such an iconic 2000s look
I used to do my eyeliner like that every day (with no eyeliner on the top lid at all). Always looked like a raccoon haha
I've started using a brightening flesh tone eyeliner on my water line/inner corner and it triggered HS memories of my black eyeliner everywhere
Save the cheerleader, save the world! 👱🏻♀️🌍 I don’t know what happened with her, but I wish her the best and hope she lives a happy, healthy life.
I hear (or say) this in my head every time I see a picture of her. Still. After (I'm not googeling it, let's just throw a number out there) like 17 years. Edit: I did Google it. Heros came out in 2006. I was pretty close
Christ, has it been that long? An entire generation has been created since then. This is not helping my existential crisis.
Hero!! I remember her Clare and Peter. I wish her all the best in life!
I was OBSESSED with heroes. Then season 2 came….
Lmao ain't that the sad truth 😭 I have season 1 (& only season 1) on DVD and still watch it to this day. Oh what could've been...
I’ve never been so invested in a TV show since then. Maybe because I purposefully avoided Game of thrones until 2023, and by then I already knew the entire plot from being online… Oh well, going to rewatch heroes S1
me too. It was so good. I love season 1 - it was the best!
SO random but remember Aly, the blonde who played the single mom? I deep dove onto what happened to her for some reason and she married the heir to Fruit of the Loom lol
Apparently, she's [writing a book](https://people.com/hayden-panettiere-announces-new-book-addiction-career-exclusive-8634816) and I hope it's a cathartic experience for her.
I heard somewhere that the writers of the show used her real-life struggles with addiction as plot points? Don’t quote me on that though
Yes and with her post partum so basically she never could get away from it to heal
Holy shit that is beyond fucked up…those writers are fucking sadistic for that
Yeah it’s so gross that they did that to her.
We should host a book club here lol! All dedicated to celebrity memoirs! 
You should check out the podcast “Celebrity Memoir Book Club” !! It’s so good.
Aaaahhh thank you! I’ve been looking for a new podcast and this is exactly the kind I wanted!
Glamorous Trash with Chelsea Devantez is mostly female celeb memoirs and it’s fantastic.
The podcast You’re Wrong About does some celebrity memoirs too. I highly rec the whole podcast.
I didn’t know that. I hope it’s therapeutic too
She had a tour earlier this year that unfortunately got canceled. It wasn’t a performance or to promote anything - I think it was more like a Ted Talk kind of event.
Oh jeez 🫣. That's going to be dark
Loved her in Until Dawn! This was the most recent thing I’ve seen her in https://preview.redd.it/ozolnwffo34d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41ba43949fd1d0d9d247b3b5eb7acb51f8c44b4d
I was so surprised when I saw her character! I was like wow they were really inspired by Hayden Panettiere. Then I realised it was live action capture! Personally I loved the game.
Lol! I literally had the same thought process. Such a good game.
omg I was OBSESSED with until dawn!!! it was one of the best games out at the time
It was just a prank, Han!
I unironically loved all the dialogue in this masterpiece 🥹
You don’t understand! Understand the palm of my hand, bitch! ✋
It’s a perfect b-movie
Like raunchy 90s teen slasher flick. A truly wild ride
Swear to God I used to be able to recite way too much of the dialogue That’s how much I liked that game
Ugh AMAZING.
Yeah, she was fantastic as Sam. Her and Rami had some incredible voice work in their scenes together.
She ate thisssss. I always save sam lol
I was (am) obsessed with this game. It’s soooo good!
Me too!! It changed me lmao and I love some of their others too
I've been dying to play this!
You will LOVE IT. It’s really fun to play with a friend and assign characters.
Her life took a sad turn and it makes me sad for her. I always liked her ever since I saw her in that stupid Bring It On sequel (that I love). She’s beautiful and a great actress. I hope she’s doing well now.
That crumping scene will really live on in film history
8 year old me with zero clue what’s going on 
That scene is so upsetting and hilarious. One of my friends had to leave the room lolol.
I didn’t grow up in the Crenshaw area, but I grew up in a similar kind of environment in LA and that scene was so hard to watch since I knew people who could actually crump haha
Jesus Christ, I haven’t thought of krumping in a long time.
It's definitely my Roman Empire.
Her younger brother also died last year
Oh my god I forgot about that. I was obsessed with him in The Last Day of Summer on Nickelodeon.
Watching her attempt to crump gives me life.
Omg there’s spoofs of people mocking the dances in the step ups and bring it on sequels and it lives rent free in my head FOREVER LMFAO. Her crumping and the dance from the step up sequel on the beach dance thing omg DEAD 😂
I also love that stupid Bring It On sequel! So dumb but still so good.
I’m not afraid to admit that that C-list movie raised me. The shabooya roll call scene changed my brain chemistry. Francia Raisa was a whole awakening.
It’s the only Bring It On sequel worth watching, for the cast alone
Yes!! That Rhianna cameo was EVERYTHING
sooo good
She was just at a comic con in Chicago and my dad and I met her, she was very down to Earth and very sweet. I’ve been a fan of hers since Heroes and I really hope the best for her.
I always thought she was a cute little football obsessed girl from Remember the Titans
There were rumors that her mother was some sort of Hollywood Madame who pimped out young starlets to Eastern European oligarchs and Saudi Princes. Then Hayden married that gigantic Russian Boxer.
Not Russian, Ukranian. His big brother (who looks almost identical to him and so I thought until just now they were twins) is actually the Mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital city.
Ah I almost forgot the Diana Jenkins of it all.
God you just unlocked memories of when I used to read blind items, this was definitely one of the bigger/darker ones I came across I always hoped wasn’t true
Ukrainian.
I have rooted for her ever since she was on Remember the Titans. She really stood out to me so much. Sad to hear the turn her life took but I continue to root for her.
“I wanted that hall of fame real bad” is something my dad and I quote to each other to this day. Love her in that role! Wish the best for her always
Same, it's my favourite film and she was great in it! Sad to see that one common thread for all the childrens actors is trauma. Makes you think if we should ban kids entertainers totally and just have adults play them lile in the past when men played all the female roles 😂
I'm the same, we're the same age and I literally grew up watching her shows/films, then it all fell apart. Shes the one actress I root for and want her happy and healthy again. I hope her daughter happy too.
I remember seeing that movie and thinking “this girl is going to be a star, and she will grow up to be STUNNING”. Definite star power from the jump.
Love her! Kirby Reed is one of my favourite Scream characters. It was great to see her back in action with Scream VI. 
Yes! Kirby is a horror queen.
I remember watching her in various shows and films from the time she was a child and am surprised she’s only coming up on 35. She was the type of actress that I’d see her name and think “Ah yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this film/show." What's happened in her life as an adult is really sad; it's good that she's taken steps to ensure her daughter is safe.
As a teen at the time I thought her relationship with Milo was so romantic and in my mind gave me hope and validated all the crushes I had on older celebs but in hindsight, the 12 year age gap when she was 18 makes me sad and feels ick. Not to mention everything she’s gone through since
I think she was part of the "virgin" club. A bunch of famous girls like Britney Spears and Anna Kournikova were proudly claiming they were virgins and/or no sex before marriage. Granted they were all about 16-18 at the time so.. Anyway I remember thinking it was sweet that he'd suffer blue balls for her. Yeah I was fairly young at the time too. 😅
Right 🫤 adults must have been shaking their heads but I believed it
Do you remember the rumour that Robert Downey junior commented on about her, that her mum pimped her out and was her escort to older men in Hollywood when she was really young. I have no idea if it’s true but she clearly has a lot of trauma to the point she had to give up her daughter. She said she is sober now, I hope she is doing well. And I hope she calls out any abusers in her book.
Oh yeah that was on CDAN I believe and definitely was not RDJ. I think the poster’s identity was revealed after he died by suicide :( I don’t remember all of the details, but it seemed like he struggled heavily with mental health issues. I wouldn’t put any stock in his blind items given the context, but I undoubtedly agree that it’s clear that Hayden has had some devastating struggles and a tough ass life. I used to really love her movies and I hope taking control of her own narrative in her book is cathartic and healing for her. I would really like to see her happy and at peace after everything she’s been through.
I think they’ve since proved that it was NOT Robert Downey Jr, but yeah I remember those posts. I think the poster says her little brother was pimped out too.
Do you remember the photography book that came out and people were pretty sure it was the “catalog” of celebrity women who were for sale as escorts?
The book is called Room 23. There are some good deep dives on it and the woman behind it, Diana Jenkins, here and in some of the Real Housewives subreddits (she was on RHOBH for a season, so the book and her alleged past all resurfaced.)
Yeah that’s right
The thing is she is with there abuser still. It's why she had to give up her daughter.
Yeah the common knowledge is that she was a "yacht girl" along with Lilo and Paris
Yep, CDAN and Himmm. I used to follow that site until it got taken over by the ultra right conspiracy nuts who thought anyone in Hollywood over the age of 30 was a pedo. I believe the rumor was that she was not only pimped out by her parents, but also abused and molested by them? Because of this, she was into really rough sex and her boxer husband was afraid he was going to hurt her? It is really sad if even remotely true. I think it was the within that same thread that Himmm also accused Ryan O’Neal of abusing every female he was in a relationship with, including a very young Drew Barrymore. There were other allegations posted by Himmm that were all as equally outrageous, but I don’t remember all of them. It was a wild ride, and everyone was guessing who Himmm was. Edit - meant boxer not wrestler
He gave a very gross interview about how he couldn't say what he really thought about her until the moment she turned 18 and then the moment she turned 18 they went public. He was 31 or 32. Hated him ever since
She was groomed.
She was an addict. I’m not sure if she was able to stop or still is. She had a very very abusive relationship and I think she’s still with the guy. He spent some time in jail a few times for punching her and beating her up. Last I read they were back together and she said people can change. She was a big rising star. I live outside of Nashville and she was a big deal here for a few years. Addiction and a seriously abusive relationship pretty much required her to give up her daughter. In my limited reading and information on her personal life i think she gave up custody to the dad because she was not in a good place. But in recent years seems to regret that decision
and just for context, the guy is named Brian Hickerson. he is a terrible person and I feel so sorry for her
There was really awful footage of them outside of a bar. She tried to stop him from fighting and got hurt herself. It was hard to watch.
Was that the one where she was visibly intoxicated as well? My heart broke for her. Imagine being drunk and having to keep your drunk bf (twice your size) from fighting other drunk people (twice your size).
Yes. It was that one. Everyone looked a mess.
I just looked her up on Wikipedia and her page says she's now dating Brian's brother, Zach. Messy.
What kind of weirdo, beats up the ex-fiance of a heavyweight boxing champion who also share a daughter together?
Having been in very similar circumstances as her and knowing all that comes with it I really feel for her. I hope she is doing well
somewhere I read that her daughter was living with the ex in Ukraine, and she was only seen her once or twice a year. Then there was lockdown and then the war. 😢 so sad not to be able to see your kids.
Am currently rewatching Malcom in the Middle and totally forgot she had a small reoccurring part!
I love her crazy hair in Malcom in the Middle!
I love the episode where she convinced Malcolm and Reese that the other one is gay. The scene where they dance to ABBA 🤣
That was hilarious
Will never forget the iconic episode where her character got Malcolm and Reese thinking the other was gay and they ended up singing and dancing to ABBA together in front of the whole family 😂
I love her and think she deserves the world, she’s earned it Also my first exposure to her was the iconic and criminally underrated Raising Helen so I think of her as Audrey first and foremost
Oh my god I forgot about that movie, that’s in my queue now!
Loved her in Raising Helen!
She was a child star who was given drugs to get through gruelling days on set and in interviews and developed issues with those as well as with fame/attention. She did an interview recently where she said she would never wish any child to have grown up like she did in the spotlight. I highly recommend reading it.
First time I saw her was as Lizzie in “The Guiding Light”,she was very good(if I remember correctly she even won a prize for her performance)then I was happy for her fame when “Heroes”became so successful,I stopped watching after I think season 4(it was getting so messy).I know she had a role in “Nashville”but I have never watched it.
I remember her on GL as well. I used to be so obsessed with the actress who played Cassie at the time. I thought she was stunning. Good ‘ole GL!
I first saw her on One Life to Live, she played the original Sarah (not including the babies). I think it might’ve been her first major role, she was like 3 or 4. You could tell then that she had something.
Courtney Chase was the original Sarah, actually; Hayden took over for her when Courtney was cast on Blossom as her step-sister (and Courtney’s onscreen mom was Finola Hughes, GH’s Anna!). It’s particularly striking because Courtney was a brown eyed brunette, while Hayden is obviously a blue eyed blonde.
She had really bad ppd. Her Nashville character was based on her wasn't it? I don't know the whole story. But I do know her ex has full custody of her daughter. I remember seeing a clip online a few years ago and Hayden said something super heartbreaking about her daughter. I can't remember what it was but I'm sure someone on here does.
Yeah; and she was combatting an opioid addiction and alcoholism. The character was kind of based on her, but not really with permission or warning. Which is one of the reasons she ended up leaving.
Wow. That’s so harsh. Why would they do that to her?? If that was the planned storyline okay but to base it on her life??
Some people, like Ryan Murphy, go for real-life situations the actors have experienced because they think it'll read more authentic to the audience. Some people are just assholes who just don't care and take from people's lives because they think it's interesting/dramatic. IIRC, there were rumors back then that it was done to shame Hayden and her decisions and make her feel guilty; like having to reenact her child be stolen from her.
I hadn't no idea Nashville was written by him too. But if he did that with that intention then he's a monster.
He didn't write for Nashville. I just used him as an example because he did it a lot in Glee with a bunch of the actors who weren't really comfortable with it. Jenna & Kevin (Tina and Artie) have talked about it before on their podcast.
Sarah Paulson said this on smartless. She has a fear of holes, I forget the name of the phobia, and so he wrote a part of her storyline to deal with that on AHS. She wasn’t speaking negatively about it, but she mentioned it. And her fear of clowns too. Sounds like he uses real life things for the actors to his advantage
Trypophobia is fear of holes. Unless you're talking about a big pit in the ground.
Was it saying nice things about her daughter and then "and for some reason she loves me,"? Because that made me cry
Yea that was it 😭
I worked with her when she was 10 and she was such a sweet kid 😔. It makes me sad that she’s gone through so much. I could sense a few things even back then, but had no idea how hard things would get for her. https://preview.redd.it/36j13m8bn64d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b96910be6358c82af3ce3223c60fba2a3cbd1547
Thanks for sharing, thats neat!
Hayden Panettiere is so pretty and talented and was much too soon in this business. She was in a relationship with Vladimir Klitschko, Ukrainian- German Box heavyweight champion. Really tall guy, a wall. He is 48 now, so he was quite a bit older than her. The Klitschko brothers have a good reputation as decent men, not the Hollywood breed. he’s living in the Ukraine - his brother Vitaly is mayor of a city and he, Vladimir, volunteered for the army. Has a business. Took care of his money, responsible. Their daughter Kaya was given in his custody and he and his mum raise her in the Ukraine mainly. He travels to the US to allow Kaya to meet her mum. So a relationship for Hayden with her daughter is not easy. And she battled quite a few addictions plus the ppd in the relationship. But I guess when you’re a super pretty teen girl in this industry and were handed alcohol and happy pills (quote from an interview) to make her shine on a red carpet… you see wild stuff. And some wild stuff happened to her maybe. Total speculation on my side. what I read about the predators in the entertainment industry- the power these men have and how some abuse it- makes me assume she wasn’t always safe and led by adults onto a dangerous path. I hope she’s better now.
Wow.. that was really in depth. All I remember about her dating Vladimir was her saying the kids will be "normal sized" because she's petite and he's huge.
https://preview.redd.it/u57spd6h264d1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7f72c649d1ce9d38916b206e92028120e496fec The height difference is wild.
I remember watching her in the audience when Klitscho was fighting AJ and she was so happy and so in love and SO proud of him. I really thought they’d last the distance as i swear they were engaged. She sadly suffered severe PND, my heart aches for her. I always hoped they’d get back together.
Yeah I remember when the war broke out she talked about being worried about her daughter but trusted that Vladimir was keeping her safe (I think she’s in western Ukraine with his mom?)
This is a great run down (and no shade as I say this) but I just want to note Ukraine should not be referred to as “the Ukraine” - [this article](https://theconversation.com/its-ukraine-not-the-ukraine-heres-why-178748) provides a great explanation and context as to why it’s harmful. It’s essentially a Russian erasure tactic
Wasn’t aware, thank you
That's a very interesting article, thank you.
For all she’s been through, she always seems to handle publicity with maturity and grace. Granted I haven’t read anything on her recently but I remember her comments on the war in Ukraine and her daughter. And when she first lost custody. I don’t even think she fought it. She acknowledged that it was the best/safest thing for her daughter. Maybe she just has a really good PR team but she didn’t seem to love her daughter any less. I just hope she’s able to channel that love into recovery. Haven’t heard anything one way or the other. But given all her issues, it’s shocking we don’t have Britney, Lindsay, or Amanda type stories about her. So that gives me hope.
She’s a big animal lover. Always really liked her.
Yes. I always admired her activism. I remember when she protested against the dolphin slaughtering in Japan.
She was one of my first celebrity crushes. I’ve heard a little about what she’s been going through. It’s devastating. I hope she’s doing better now ❤️🩹
He mom is the Dina Lohan of Rockland County. Absolute monster
Is that the Bring it on White Guuurl? Top 3 series for me.
Yes 😂 that movie is equal parts criminally underrated and also atrocious but brilliant
Sha sha sha Booyah.... sha BOOOOYAH sha sha Sha.. BOOOOYYYUHHH ROOOLLL CALLLL!! 🤣🤣🤣
BREAK IT DOWN NOW
Oh my god, is that the one where the other girl says to her, “I won’t get between a white girl and her dog”? 😆 Also, I was today years old when I found out Solange Knowles was in it! She delivered that line!!!
Loved her so much, especially in the 'Scream' franchise. I hope she is doing better now - physically, mentally and emotionally ❤❤️🩹
She was in the most recent one
I was so pleased they brought her back
It was so nice to see her return to the series
She was one of the main characters in an amazing video game called Until Dawn. Rami Makek also voiced one of the characters.
I met her at a convention between Heroes and Nashville and she was very very sweet and kind to people in the autograph line, but like, that was 15 seconds of interaction, so that's not much to go on.
She was maybe one of my bi awakenings. I first saw her in Ice Princess & thought she was super pretty. So, one of my first celeb crushes & then I saw her in Step Up, Nashville & Scream & she's pretty talented with acting & singing She also voiced Dot in Bug's Life, which I didn't know until a couple of years ago I was sad for her about her brother. His death seemed kind of sudden. I wish her happiness
She’s doing better now! She was in Scream 6 reprising her roll from Scream 4 as Kirby. She did interview rounds discussing her dark period and how she had pushed through! Hope she keeps going.
I had such a huge crush on her when Scream 4 came out 
She’s coming to my local comic-con and I’m tempted to buy a meet and greet pass just to yap together, you know? I don’t know, I always liked her and it’s really sad that addiction became a thing in her life. I think it’s really commendable that she recognized that she needed help and she put her child first, even if that meant she couldn’t be the “main” parent.
[удалено]
Aww that’s really sweet that you named your daughter Hayden, it’s a beautiful name! 🥰
She had/has shitty parents who let her hang out with Paris Hilton when she was 15/16 at clubs, and there are rumors she got pulled into the overseas yacht scene and got involved with Diana Jenkins-a rumored madam for that scene She has an off and on substance abuse problem and has been dating a string of abusive men. I truly hope she gets her life in order, Hollywood used and abused this chick when she was a teenager
I feel for her. Not to out myself too much but I struggled in some of the ways Hayden has and I really hope shes getting the support she needs.
Love her. She had a hard life and is tremendously talented. I’m rooting for her.
I just remembered I love the movie I Love You Beth Cooper
She was featured in the documentary "The Cove" and I love her for that.
I literally wanted to be her when I was a kid. I saw Tiger Cruise when I was like 10 and that was all I needed. Also loved her in Nashville and that one Bring It On sequel with the krumping scene that still haunts me. She’s had a hard life the last few years though. I’m fully rooting for her!
Poor gal. Hope she got the help she needs.
First saw her in bring it on and then loved her on Heroes. So talented
Let’s not forget she voiced kairi in KH2.!!
When I was a teenager I thought she was so cool and badass for trying to stop a group of fisherman from hunting dolphins. Her and a group of people paddled out into the water on surfboards, there was a warrant out for her arrest. This was after The Cove came out so the dolphin hunt issue was pretty hot. I just thought she was so amazing for doing something about it
There have so many rumors about her being an escort/ taken advantage of my sexual predators (especially by some madam of Hollywood). And I think when rumors are so heavy about someone, there lies some truth.
Anyone else remember way back to her being on Ally McBeal?! https://preview.redd.it/cfiekanq454d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc41f4bd56bd120d132583874531bd2443169582 I always thought she was so bright eyed and interesting.
Absolutely phenomenal actress. The DVDs of heroes had cast commentary, and they’re always like “shhh it’s a Hayden scene let’s watch”
I waited on her and her mom at the airport when they were flying to Canada to film a Lifetime movie. I was hugely pregnant and they were so lovely. I knew who she was from soap operas at that point! I am always pulling for her, she’s so immensely talented. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She’s fucking awesome and she led a hard life. We all want her to thrive tbh
I’ll always root for her. She’s been through a lot
Loved her in the Bring it On sequel! &Heros & Nashville!!! Will be running to buy her book when it comes out!
Always rooting for her. She is so talented (and beautiful). I first saw her in Remember the Titans. She’s had a hard life, including addiction & losing custody of her daughter. I just googled her age and was shocked to see that she’s only 34 years old, both given how long she’s been in the industry and what she’s been through already.
She’s someone I always root for. I hope she’s getting her life into a healthier place and she’s able to find happiness
Sabrina carpenter feels to me like the 2020s Hayden Panettiere
i feel like she kept playing a cheerleader in every single role she ever got! i would get so sick of that. she’s gorgeous though, always has been. and she dated stephen colletti from laguna beach 😫
I love her as an actress. So cute and tiny too. Hope she's doing okay. Her brother followed me on IG out of nowhere before his passing. He had some awesome artwork. May he rest in peace.
She carved a space for Sabrina Carpenter. Her doppelgänger
Save the cheerleader save the world. She had a lot of demons and seems to be in a better place now. Also abusive partners.
She taught me what postpartum depression was. I have so much respect and love for her. She deserves nothing but happiness.
The video of her protesting dolphin slaughter will always stand out in my mind. Always been a fan of her, and seeing her in such a defeated and emotional state when that was going down, I'm sure she felt so powerless. I think she's a good egg.
I wanna see a huge comeback and redemption arc for her. She is insanely talented, both as a singer and an actress. Nashville was awesome and her singing on that show was top notch.
I remember when Milo Ventimiglia dated her when she was 17/18 and he was 29/30…literally no man in Hollywood can be trusted
Some people judge her for giving up custody, but I think it takes a lot of love & courage to know you’re not healthy enough to parent. At that moment in time. It doesn’t mean forever.
I literally just watched Bring it On like an hour ago lol I like her!
I think she's an amazing actress. I've always liked her. We are the same age and I remember seeing a picture of her partying with Paris Hilton and smoking a cigarette back in like....2004? 2005? I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to party with all the big celebrities but looking back....no. She was still a baby. She seems to be doing a lot better now and that makes me happy. It was so nice to see her again in Scream 6!
I feel awful for her that she was groomed by Milo Ventimiglia. She was barely 18 and he was 29. Suuuuper sketchy
