CBS Mornings anchor Gayle King expressed her disappointment and sadness upon hearing Hayden Panettiere's mother Lesley Vogel's comments following the actress' death. King criticized Vogel for her harsh remarks, stating that the commentary was "sad." Vogel, who had been estranged from her daughter for years, criticized Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson, claiming he had enabled her during her struggles.
King emphasized that Panettiere had been very open about her own battles with mental health and addiction, including in her memoir and an interview with King. King found Vogel's statement to be particularly unseemly given the timing, as it came shortly after Panettiere's passing. King also noted the complexity of Vogel's relationship with her daughter, recognizing that it was still evolving.
Panettiere was found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest on Sunday, and an autopsy revealed no signs of trauma, but the official cause and manner of death are still under investigation.
