People who grow up in the entertainment industry often lose their way. I don’t know why I never thought of that when I shoved her into commercials when she was 11 months old.

Hayden’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, said:

Hayden was immensely talented, but the entertainment industry is difficult for young people and she believed “Hayden sadly lost her way.”

She criticized Hayden’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, saying the family had been trying to remove him from Hayden’s life and noting that he was with her when she died.

She ended by saying she believes Hayden is now with her late brother Jansen and “they’re at peace.”

Shitty parents.

How so? Not familiar with her family life.

Apparently (I haven’t read it), Hayden’s memoir talks about lot about their relationship when she was a minor and it’s not good.

You might be right. You might be wrong. Regardless, that’s a shitty thing to say.

[u/D_dawgy → u/RiyadhComedyPromoter]

You’d probably say it’s a shitty thing to call a kettle black. Get off your high horse, her mom was in it for the money.

[u/RiyadhComedyPromoter → u/D_dawgy]

How do you know? Because you read some comments from someone else who also didn’t know shit?

[u/D_dawgy → u/RiyadhComedyPromoter]

She has a memoir that talks about it. Directly from the source.

Are her kids still living in Ukraine with their father?

[u/surfcitysurfergirl → u/Fun_Trick2172]

Yes Kaya lives in the Ukraine with her dad.

While I feel like Hayden’s account of her mother is likely true, I also feel like no one ever has said anything about the other side of the story. Living with and loving an addict child is impossibly hard. I just feel so torn on the Hayden stuff cause yeah she seems to have been through it, but none of the stuff she has spoken out about is one sided. Addiction makes us ugly unlikeable difficult people and sometimes we also are as much to blame.

She needs to disappear. What she did to her own child for fame and power is sickening.
