So sad to see child hood actors, going through the most toughest traumatic situations… Been a fan of hers since remember the Titan’s

I was on this episode. She was so sweet. All of them were very kind and understanding about my sister's suicide. This whole episode was top tier.

You can really see the sadness on her face and hear the knot of anxiety trapped in her voice. I hope she gets the help that she needs and fully recovers.

Having Kaya be with her father was the best decision. Hayden may not have seen it at the time, but a mother with postpartum depression and a severe alcohol addiction CAN NOT adequately take care of a baby, especially if there is another parent (who isn't struggling with those same issues) that can. Yes, it wasn't her idea and she may not have fully wanted it, but giving up custody was what was best for all involved. Hayden wasn't doing too well until recently, with her trying to get sober and being with an abusive partner (not the father of her child btw) we don't know how long she has been sober and regulated (probably with medication) so I doubt that Kaya being with her is better than her being in a safe country with people that love her taking care of her (we know Kaya isn't in the Ukraine, hasn't been for a while). Hypothetically, let's say they share custody. With Hayden's ex's situation (the political entanglements of him and his brother during a time of war) there is a chance that something could happen to him and if it did, Kaya would need her mom to be prepared for what it is to be a mother, which I don't think she would be. Because honestly, I don't think Hayden really fully grasps what it would mean to be a full-time single mother to her daughter, since she never was before. Her stepping into that role would be tremendously overwhelming and could potentially undo all her progress and push her back into addiction. It's definitely heartbreaking to think abut what she is going through, but it is what is best for the kid and even Hayden has to acknowledge that. That doesn't mean it isn't painful. (Also, I acknowledge that Kaya is probably traumatized due to her parents' situation, but I firmly believe that Hayden needed the freedom to step away to get better and if she hadn't, then Kaya's trauma would have been a million times worse) Take all of this with a grain of salt, since I'm going by only the details she and him have shared and I obviously don't know every single detail...

She was depressed and abusing substances the father has the right to gain custody of his daughter. It’s like people would rather see the girl with the mother being not taken care of than with the father.

Damn, I feel for her so bad. Hope she pulls through. My thoughts and prayers goes to a speedy recovery to recover that huge part of her soul no doubt.

A decade or so ago she told a magazine “I’m no Lindsay Lohan, you won’t see any rehabs or duis for me” I hope she’s learned to judge less.

She seems very brave opening up and showing her vulnerabilities. I hope she is able to get joint custody x

Wladimir did the right thing in getting custody of the child. It’s sick how she’s trying to paint him in the situation. You‘re drinking excessively, using drugs, fighting outside of bars, on top of being in an abusive relationship ....he did the right thing by removing his child from the dysfunction and trauma!!!!

Didn't even know she was going through this 😪.. I just decided to stop drinking because my health totally got affected. Never been so scared in my life, addiction is a thing. I don't have kids so atleast I wasn't hurting anyone but myself in the process. Now that I think of my future I need to slow down, control my anxiety and start a fresh. Jesus is love and I trust and believe whoever is reading this will be healed if you believe you can. Don't lose hope 🙏 Amen.

Many women aren't prepared or truly ready for motherhood. So much changes mentally, emotionally and physically... The biggest sacrifice we make in life, cause we truly lose ourselves.

I wish her nothing but love ,light & happiness.. She's so cute and a good actress

I didn’t even know she went through that she’s healthy now good for her ❤ she was a good actress

She’s with Kaya all the time. She posts pics on her Twitter, too. The father never denied her access to her daughter. He raised her as a single dad. Yet Hayden trashing him. She is freshly broken up with her abusive boyfriend … And judging by her track record, she’ll probably go back. She was singing a different tune a couple of months ago about this custody situation. She was relieved. Now she’s sad? Make up your mind, Hayden.

I always admired her. How heartbreaking 🥺

It was her fault, a child is the MOST IMPORTANT person, thing in your life..

She was in a bar brawl earlier this year, I think she should be able to see her daughter supervised. I don't think she's ready for custody kid is better off with Father.

Thank you. I went through something similar and I'm glad I'm not the only one that went through that.

"the most selfless thing to do would be to work on myself" I swear, this woman has never thought of anyone but herself and she acts as if she should be praised for it.

3 years before custody was taken. She’s still making excuses.

She's now saying he manipulated her into signing her kid over, but a few months ago, she was praising him. Kinda weird.

Well it sounds like she made a selfless decision at a low point in her life when she really wanted better for her child . She wasn’t abandoning her she was trying to do what was best even if it meant giving her dad custody. God bless her and her daughter . Praying she can rebuild her relationship with her daughter soon.

Not surprising, but also, she was not being a responsible adult and parent. The best thing she did was surrender custody.

Down playing the situation as if she was forced to give full custody. It's been years and still hasn't fought to get her child back, she's content but acting as if she was forced to give up all her rights. Give father's the respect and the same appreciation single mother's get. I'm tired of woman leaving their children and crying wolf, she could have worked on herself and still been involved in her child's life. Why when man dip they are dead beats and when woman leave they are some how strong for making such a tough choice ? 🧐

It's a good thing to be vulnerable and speak openly about what you are going through. It allows you to heal and help others do the same. Wishing her the best and hopi g she can gain custody of her little girl at some point ❤️

She isn’t healthy enough to have custody. You chose drugs over your child and that unfortunately is the reality she needs to get to. Drug addicts will always play victim and seek empathy from others. She has been on drugs for years. This isn’t a postpartum thing though

It was your choice to be a mom or to continue drinking. Vladimir decided to be the responsible parent while you chose the bottle. I sympathize with what you went through, the demons you face on a daily basis, but I think losing custody of your daughter was the best thing for your daughter. Sure, it was not the best thing for you, but it was the best thing for her.

My heart breaks for her truly. She made the best decision for her daughter but that still doesn’t make it less sad, especially with everything going on in the Ukraine as well. I pray her and I hope she gets custody back with her daughter

I hope she’s able to re established a relationship with her daughter because she did what she thought was the best for her daughter at that time.

I feel for her . This is beyond sad .

When you're Juliette Barnes in real life!! All women just aren't maternal and that's okay. I'm glad she was smart enough to give custody to Dad. She's probably better off just visiting because she was just out drinking and fighting with her ex. Imagine all the crap her daughter might have been through had she stayed with her. She's the same age as me and we had our babies around the same time. Please get your life together so you can see your daughter more. You can't fix the past but atleast you can form a great relationship now so she will allow you in her life as an adult

Just pointing out a double standard here but why in this situation is she deemed noble and brave for choosing to relinquish custody of her child, but when a man does it they’re deemed a deadbeat. If just looking at your child isn’t enough to straighten up your life, then she is a deadbeat in my eyes too!

What a hard thing to go through. Addiction can be very, very hard to break. I hope she gets better but going public about it will certainly help other people get honest with themselves and take a good hard look at their choices.

When you see a drunk person on the street, do you say it's so sad? Are you heartbroken? You just run away. So these comments make no sense to me.

The fact that she's on Jadas show talking about this says a lot. Jada is the last person I'd be talking to about motherhood & family etc... in my opinion. Dont be blaming the father for anything when he actually stepped up when you couldn't. I truly hope she gets better mentally for the sake of her daughter

The father made an excellent decision. Kudos to him

I loved her in heroes and in nashville I hope she gets more healthy and successful in life

She is still delusional....shifting the blame on to him...he protected the baby from addicted mother

Thank you ET . Love you Hayden you got this , life , decisions , not easy ! But you always have to put yourself first ! So she definitely did what was best for Kiya ! God Bless 🙏🏾

How sad! I remember her from Guiding Light when she was just a little girl...no older than her daughter now.

Amazing how people eat up her bull💩! She plays the victim to get a pass on abandoning her daughter while she’s running around on vacation with her woman beater bf! Get over yourself Hayden, grow up and take care of your daughter!

Wow you are so strong I don't have words for how u have handled this situation

Opinion: Most likely the father wanted the abilities to make the right choice for their little girl if things went one way or the other with her recovery and the consistent up and down battles. children need healthy consistency. I have been in a similar situation with family and there are moments with the other parent when they are in recovery that can be awkward because the child looks for that kind of security when they know things are not right. It is in the child best interest to be in a healthy and secure environment and for nothing to tamper with that.

This whole thing is disturbing. Everyone on this clip are lost. Desperately please, don't think like these people!

Actually, I have more respect for someone to do whats best for their kids when battling mental illness drug addiction instead of dragging their kids mistreating their kids abusing etc., to do as she did and I hope she betters herself.

It was a year before I realized I had postpartum depression 😔 was so hard and unreal....Iooking back thinking it was just a dream. Can't say I would go as far as giving up custody....but I understand its different for everyone

I know Kelly Osborne is pregnant but what the hell happened to her face???!!

Very sad. Get well Hayden!

Once you sign over rights depending on the country that’s pretty much it

I hope you truly get through this 🙏

She didn’t even try to paint her ex-husband as a villain here, why are people so aggressive to her? Wtf. He took full custody of their daughter as he should. It’s just the way he revealed it to her that was so disappointing. If he had a decent conversation with her about the custody then it wouldn’t be a problem, but that doesn’t make him a villain nor did Hayden paint him one. 💀 Y’all are so dramatic.

I'm glad the child's father got custody. The right decision.

What a brave and beautiful woman

I’m sorry this happened to her. This movie is quite emotional.

I think what she did by giving Wladimir Klitschko custody was the right thing to do as a mother, she was not in a healthy mental space, and wouldn't be right for her daughter to be caught in the middle of what she was going through, she was also in a relationship with someone like Brian Hickerson who was arrested on domestic violence and assault charges, yeah someone you don't want your kids around either. I do wish her well in recovery if she is still on that path.

People like her really bother me, going back to her abusive boyfriend over and over again while her daughter has no mother. If she had tried as hard with her kid as she does with her abusive toxic ex (probably boyfriend again) maybe her child wouldn’t be asking strangers to be her mommy.

Thank god Vladimir took care of the child

Regardless of the reasons, being away from a child is a pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone. kisses

She has a drug problem. I think the daughter is best with the dad.

Stay strong girl loved her since bring it on ❤️ 🙏🏾

I pray everything goes well for her health ,and future endeavors🙏🏽.

I want to hear her ex's side of the story.. i bet its not as she claims... Just sayn

Wlad is a great man and great father. Jada can stfu, she didn't go to visit, she went to her dad because she couldn't look after kaya . Wlad is in no way a bad person or done wrong, she was the alcoholic, had depression and needed help, I'm happy she is looking well and working on herself, but I cannot stand these stupid red table gossips.

I did not know she was struggling with addiction. This now answers why she does not have custody.

I love Hayden!! She is such a sweet beautiful woman, and she just proves that if she can go thru postpartum and addiction...anyone can...u just have to get help. It's ok to get help!! There are things out of our control. And it's ok to ask for help!!

Wow as a dad that went through the same thing, that hits home hard. When my little girl was born I was going through a very rough time. I was depressed and i was trying to kick my addiction. My fiance left with my daughter and wanted full custody. I was heartbroken but i knew in the state i was in it was the best thing I could do for my little girl but i hated doing it. I knew i had to put her first regardless of what I felt and wanted. I just wanted to do right by her until I could get in a better place mentally. But damn did it hurt

You feel sorry for her story. Until you see a TMZ video of her and her now boyfriend getting into a fight outside of a bar only 7months before her red table talk. She doesn’t say how many doctors she went only that she reached for the bottle.

This is stupid. Jada The Baldie should apologize to Chris Rock.

I'll Always Love you Hayden Panettiere

I love her she was on remember the titans and a bugs life … hope she get it together ❤😢

I hope her little girl will forgive her one day. She really failed her. Everyone has demons to face but when you're a parent your children need you to step up

She was amazing in Scream 4 and I’m very proud of her acting, I also saw her in Bring it on All Or Nothing (2006)

It’s not a good thing to really say but it’s refreshing to see even celebrities go through these things . I have a lack of a better wording . I don’t enjoy seeing these things but I can relate . . I feel very sorry for her .

about the 1000s of men who lose there kids everyday to custody battles .also still punished with child support .of course some women lose there kids but the difference the court makes sure the mother is a unfit mother when it comes to dads,if we can't prove the mother is unfit we have to let go our kids ..

Oh please I’m so sick of these so called mothers crying claiming to love their child but they chose to give them up. If you really love your child you do not want to give your child up, you want to be with your child every day and raise your child, giving your child up would never cross your mind. She’s just a dead beat mom that didn’t like motherhood.

I will always be rooting for Hayden, can’t wait to see her in scream 6!

Wow that’s tough. I think in the middle of my postpartum spiral if I had lost my baby too, I would of just died.

Glad Klitschko has custody and not the woman in active addiction.

I needed to see and hear this

If I was Hayden's Husband and with my Blue Cross and Blue Shield with my "Sweet Blue Eyes" being my Precious Parents Care Giver for Over 21 years, I'd Love to be a Guardian Angel For Time and All Eternity. " I Promise, " Neal Patrick Fry from "Heaven's Hands". "I'll Always Love you Hayden Panettiere" "I Promise".

Hindsight is 2020 as they say she should be able to maintain a healthy relationship tho

Sadly shes not recovered yet. Pray for her to get the help she truly needs

She chose to still have a career over a relationship with her own child.Theres no praising this woman.

I wonder what abuse Hayden experienced in Hollywood.

She looks really really unhappy as in smiling was nearly impossible. Omg! She unfortunately will probably never regain custody. She signed the papers and I'm sure he had some important clauses in the documents that will make it nearly impossible to fight! Especially when he is at another country. Custody battles are harder when the other parent has the means for really good lawyers. These precious years she is losing of her daughter's life are devastating. But, imagine the dangers of having a baby around a mom that is constantly drinking and depressed. Plus she was in an abusive relationship. Hopefully she can find a solution for her mental and addiction issues and find peace. Everything happens for a reason and hopefully the baby is having a better life with dad.

Damn stop blaming other people

She was a bad mother!!! What can we do

Deadbeats just go to the store to buy milk and don't come back. That or they pop in and out with no responsibility whatsoever. She signed over her rights legally, she still maintains contact and still supports the child. The child probably knows why she stays with dad and understands this was better. Rather than not knowing why your parent abandoned you.

That’s the problem - self over others

That tells me the kid asked her dad not go back so he probably seeked sole custody she needs to rebuild her relationship with the kid over the ex

yeah right, she don't want custody back. girl please.... you lose custody of your OWN CHILD, you sus

It was her choice she singed the paper

Kayas father broke the cycle for her.

I just have a hard time caring about an another adults problems when children are involved. She had a major advantage compared to the average American and still flopped on being a good mother. When children are hurt by their parent(s) poor decisions, it’s hard to care.

Why would a rich girl need to work and why would she not reasearch post partum and use liquor instead of seeing a pychogist?

So why haven’t u got her back or tried. I suffered post partium with my daughter Abby i had drug addiction. And guess what I was going threw my dad commiting suicide and my mom died after that and I still got clean and did the best for my 3 kids. U don’t give up. That’s an excuse u didn’t want to be a mom evendently cause u would of got help from family or someone and gave temporarily custody and got ur kid back . I did do that I still was a mom I did everything fed changed I was a functional drug addict I bought clothes diapers food everything for my kids before my drugs I would be suffering sick my mom moved in help whenever I needed Her but she died and my dad and I got clean right after and I’m glad I’ve been 10 years clean

With Hayden doing so well now, I hope that she can share custody and her daughter can spend time in the US with her as well instead of always having to be away overseas. She does seem like a good and loving person who went through a very hard time but there’s no indication that her daughter was ever put in such a situation where the police or even social services were forced to intervene (and I am sure her wealth and privilege and access to highly qualified nannies/childcare, housekeeping, drivers, etc had much to do with this and others wouldn’t have been in such a position). More importantly, she seems like she did the work and continues to do it and she is sober and in a good head space and just really wants to be with her daughter.

This is heartbreaking. I hope she gets custody back

Was it an unselfish decision or did the childs dad trick her in to it. She is a liar. This is a pr stunt.

She went from postpartum to an alcoholic for SEVEN YEARS NOW and has an excuse for all of it. Not only has her ex-husband put their daughter first but he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders literally fighting a genocide in his country and still made sure that child was safe and cared for away from the fighting...all the while this "mom" is being recorded on downtown streets during a barroom brawl that was taken outside. Disgusting that people are defending her. Lots of women deal with postpartum and depression and many other things (as well as more than one child at home while dealing with it) and still find it in them to take care of their children but they aren't out partying SEVEN YEARS LATER. Get outta here with this sh*t.
