Hayden Panettiere's mother is breaking her silence about the year of no contact that preceded her daughter's death, and the painful phone call that made it unavoidable.
In an interview with Good Morning America that aired on Monday (August 24), Lesley Vogel shared that she severed ties after Panettiere called to announce her return to on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson. The news came after Vogel spent roughly six weeks visiting Los Angeles to help the actress with her health struggles.
"When I got the phone call from her saying, 'I'm going to be with the person I love,' and I just lost it," Vogel said, per People. "I could not believe that she had gone that far back. That he had been successful in reeling her back in with all of the things he had done to her."
For the sake of her own well-being, Vogel says she distanced herself.

Hayden Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson is terrified that her estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, will stop at nothing to finish him following the actress' death, a source tells In Touch.
As In Touch previously reported, Brian, 37, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were both on the scene when paramedics responded to a 911 call involving the Nashville star, 35, in Greenville, South Carolina on Sunday, August 16. Despite attempts to revive her, Panettiere was ******* ounced dead, leaving behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.
"Brian swears up and down that he's been completely honest about what happened the day Hayden died, but make no mistake, he's terrified right now," reveals the source. "The DEA is investigating. It's very serious, and Hayden's mom is clearly on the warpath."
Vogel, 70, told the Daily Mail that she raised questions about Brian's account of Panettiere's final hours to law enforcement, including the idea that he simply found her unresponsive.
"I don't know how you can take a nap near someone who's dying and not realize something's wrong. How do you do that?" Vogel told the outlet. "When the EMTs came, it was for cardiac arrest. People in cardiac arrest aren't just lying still. They make noise."

DEA agents are now ***** isting in the investigation(s) into Hayden Panettiere's death, TMZ has learned.
News of the agency's involvement comes mere hours after officers for the Greenville Police Department visited the family home of her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson. Sources tell TMZ that the police department launched a separate and parallel investigation to the one already underway by the coroner's office, to determine the cause and manner of her death, which was deemed "unexpected" due to her age of 36. The DEA is reportedly helping out with both investigations.
When Panettiere's mother Lesley Vogel spoke out following her daughter's death, she was critical of her daughter's relationship with Hickerson. "This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson," Vogel said.
Panettiere was found unresponsive in her Greenville, South Carolina home on Sunday (Aug. 16). According to TMZ, Hickerson's brother Zach found the actress in cardiac arrest in a chair in the living room, while Brian was asleep in a separate bedroom. When paramedics and officers arrived at the residence, life-saving measures were taken, but Panettiere was later ***** ounced dead.

Hayden Panettiere's mother claims Brian Hickerson ***** ed some of the actress's possessions before her death, including a vintage guitar, adding a new allegation to the scrutiny surrounding their turbulent relationship.
Lesley Vogel made the claim in an interview published Sunday by The New York Times. Vogel said Panettiere was "shocked" to discover that more of her belongings were in a storage unit belonging to Hickerson, her on-and-off partner.
Hickerson has not directly responded to the allegation that he ***** ed her property. His attorneys previously said Panettiere's death remained under investigation and that police had found no signs of foul play. When Page Six sought comment on the property allegations, his legal team referred the outlet back to that statement.
Panettiere died August 16 at age 36 after she was found unresponsive in Greenville, South Carolina. An ***** ociated Press report based on Greenville police records placed Hickerson and his brother Zach at the apartment. An autopsy found no signs of trauma, police reported no indication of foul play and her official cause of death remains under investigation.
Vogel told the Times that she became alarmed after learning Hickerson had ***** ed some of her daughter's belongings, including a vintage guitar. She also said Panettiere herself was stunned to discover that some of her possessions were being kept in a storage unit under Hickerson's control. A second person who spoke anonymously to the Times supported the narrower claim that Hickerson had sold some of Panettiere's property.

Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Lesley Vogel, the mother of late Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, says her daughter's death still "doesn't feel real."
Vogel, 70, discussed Panettiere and the actress' relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson in an interview Monday on Good Morning America.
Panettiere, who started acting as a child and later starred in Nashville, Ice Princess and Scream 4, died Aug. 16 at age 36. The actress had described her struggles with addiction, postpartum depression and her fraught relationship with Vogel in her memoir This is Me, released in May.
In the GMA interview, Vogel addressed her "haters" and said critics "don't have a right to tell me how I mourn the loss of my second child" following the death of Panettiere's brother, Jansen, at age 28 in 2023.
When asked to share the "truth" of her relationship with Panettiere, Vogel said the star had "a very happy life" until she landed a lead role in Heroes at age 16.

During the conversation, Vogel recalled her final interactions with her daughter, and noted that she was "numb" when she got the call about Panettiere's death at 36. When asked how she's doing now, Vogel noted that "it's a process," before calling out those criticizing her.
"I think it will probably hit me later on," she explained. "I would say to the haters out there, you don't have a right to tell me how I mourn the loss of my second child. That's my domain."
Indeed, Vogel lost her son Jansen Panettiere back in 2023, at just 28 years old. He died from heart complications. When asked how Vogel moves forward after losing two children, she touted her "inner strength."
"I think you just have to find that inner strength," she said. "I have been knocked down throughout my life, and I am not complaining, because I have the strength to get back up. And that really is — it's not if we fall, it's how we get back up that defines who we are."

The actor said she "remembered" feeling hopeful about the conversation, but said it was "disappointing" when she came to believe her mother was referring to money. "The fact that she didn't care to have a relationship with me was a tough pill to swallow," she added.

"Hayden was a beautiful and talented young woman who unfortunately became involved with the wrong person, and although her family tried to extricate him from her life, we were unable to be successful," Vogel's statement continued.

Rose posted screenshots of text messages she says came from Panettiere, with the exchanges focusing in part on the difficult relationship Panettiere had publicly described with her estranged mother, Lesley Vogel.
One screenshot showed a contact saved as "Hayden" telling Rose that she had been crying over her mother's alleged cruelty. "My god I'm 36 and she can still cause this kind of pain," the message read, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Entertainment Weekly said it could not independently verify the identity of the person messaging Rose. The outlet had contacted Rose's team for more information and Vogel for comment when its report was published.
The content nevertheless echoes comments Panettiere made publicly before her death about her relationship with Vogel.

Megyn Kelly is weighing in following the death of Hayden Panettiere.
Kelly took to her eponymous podcast on Monday, August 17, following the news of Hayden's death at 36, to speculate on the circumstances surrounding her passing.
"I am not surprised to read the news about Hayden Panettiere at all. I am sad. I lament the loss of this young woman, but I don't think it is a pattern we are ever going to correct for because there will always be parents who shove their child into the entertainment industry at too young and too precarious an age and don't have the skills or the desire to rescue them from the fallout that inevitably comes," Kelly, 55, said.
As In Touch previously reported, Hayden was ******* ounced dead after Greenville, South Carolina, officials responded to a 911 call on Sunday, August 16. According to audio obtained by People from the dispatch call on Sunday, responders were called to the apartment after a report of an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest. The Greenville Police Department is investigating the cause of death of the Remember the ******* ans star.
Kelly continued to point the finger at Hayden's parents, Lesley Vogel and Alan "Skip" Lee Panettiere, calling them "enablers" in the years following her rise to fame, with the actress — who shared daughter Kaya, 11, with her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — admitting to suffering from both postpartum depression and substance abuse over the last decade. Hayden also struggled following the death of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, who died in February 2023 at the age of 28 due to an undiagnosed heart condition.

Hayden Panettiere, who has died at the age of 36, lived most of her life in the spotlight - from success as a child star to lead roles in hit TV shows Heroes and Nashville - but also endured struggles that went along with the pressures of fame.
Panettiere appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. Her mother Lesley Vogel was an actress and set her daughter on the same path.
By the age of four, Hayden was in US TV show One Life to Live, then at eight joined another soap opera, Guiding Light.
Her natural acting ability was evident, but the burgeoning childhood career came at a cost.
"From a very young age, I lost the chance to have a normal childhood, friends, relationships, and my privacy," Panettiere wrote in her revealing autobiography, This Is Me, which was published earlier this year.

Triston Casas' Long Road Back Takes Another Unwelcome Turn originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Just when it appeared Triston Casas' injury luck could not become much worse, the Boston Red Sox first baseman encountered another frustrating setback. The Red Sox announced Thursday that Casas underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left wrist. Dr. Matthew Leibman performed the procedure at Newton-Wellesley Surgery Center in Wellesley, Mass. Boston did not immediately provide a recovery timetable, but the surgery likely ends any realistic hope of Casas returning during the 2026 regular season.
It represents another difficult turn for a talented hitter who has not appeared in a major league game in more than 15 months.
Casas last played for Boston on May 2, 2025, when he ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee while running through first base against the Minnesota Twins. The gruesome injury required surgery and ended his season after only 29 games. Casas finished 2025 batting .182 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and a .580 OPS.
He spent the offseason rehabilitating his knee and hoped to rejoin the Red Sox early in 2026. Instead, a left abdominal strain suffered during his ramp-up delayed his return again. Manager Alex Cora said in April that the abdominal injury would keep Casas out "a while" and force him to restart much of his baseball progression. Casas eventually resumed working toward a return before wrist discomfort shut down his hitting program in July.
