"“The idea that anybody would think that I would just give away my child and be OK with it is heartbreaking.” The actress continued: “It couldn't be further from the truth,” adding: “It became this horrible cycle for years of battling depression and anxiety and alcoholism and substance abuse and just me trying to find my way back.”"
"Panettiere explained that Klitschko asked that Kaya live with him in Ukraine, when she was two. She said: “I did not have a good reaction to it. I went like mother lion. I would've burnt the world down for my child. So that was incredibly difficult.”"
"Since, Kaya has grown to have a “beautiful life”, making friends and getting involved in activities, like riding horses and learning five languages Panettiere said: “By the time I finally got healthy, I felt like it would have been unfair of me to and selfish of me to try and pull her out and away from this life that she had created.”"
"She said the duo have an “incredible relationship” now, with Panettiere going to see her as much as possible. When they can't visit, they “spend a lot of time on FaceTime” together. “In no way [does] she feel abandoned,” Panettiere added of their “incredible” bond."
Hayden Panettiere rejected claims that she abandoned her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. She said the idea that she would give away her child and be okay with it is heartbreaking and far from the truth. She described a long cycle of depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and substance abuse while trying to recover. She explained that when Kaya was two, Wladimir Klitschko asked that Kaya live with him in Ukraine, which she found extremely difficult. She later said that once she became healthy, it would have been unfair and selfish to pull Kaya away from the life she had built. She reported an incredible relationship now, with visits and frequent FaceTime.
