Hayden Panettiere Turns Heads During Rare Red Carpet Appearance

On the topic of relinquishing custody of her daughter, who lives in Ukraine with Wladimir, Hayden said it was “the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever, ever had to do in my life.”

“The idea that I am a person who would just easily throw out my child. Give away my child,” she continued. “The comments that people made, and assumed about my situation with my daughter were just so off and heartbreaking.” 

Furthermore, Hayden said she takes responsibility for the “role I played” that may have led to the 2018 custody decision. ”There were certain things I couldn’t control, obviously,” she added. “I wish I had gotten more help than I did.”

And now that Hayden has embarked on her healing journey, she revealed she’s ready for her close-up. After a four-year acting hiatus, she’ll reprise her role as Kirby Reed in Scream 6, which is expected to release next March.
