Hayden Panettiere says daughter asked to call other women 'mommy' - Insider
On Wednesday's episode of "Red Table Talk," Hayden Panettiere addressed the toll that a complicated custody situation is having on her 7-year-old daughter, Kaya Klitschko.Panettiere said she asked to talk to Kaya "immediately" and when she brought up the topic, her daughter regressed and "went into 'goo-goo ga-ga' speak" and was "talking gibberish," something Panettiere hadn't ever heard her do before.But Panettiere said she doesn't think Klitschko understands or believes the concept, and she is worried that Kaya will eventually experience "anger" or "depression" as a result of her absence.
Earlier in the conversation, Panettiere said that she had not fully opened up about her custody situation because it's been "very terrifying to talk about" since Klitschko and his family are so prominent in Ukraine.On "Red Table Talk," she said that she signed over "full custody" of Kaya to Klitschko in 2018 after her daughter went to Ukraine for what Panettiere initially thought would be a regular visit while she sought treatment for addiction
