Hayden Panettiere Opens Up About Addiction: "I Was in a Cycle of Self-Destruction" | PEOPLE
/ people - Розваги
When she said, "For whatever reason, she still loves me." In regards to her daughter, I literally got chocked up. I wish her all the best.
same.
Yes ❤️
She will be waiting for her forever...
I cried too
Me too. I think every mother feels like that sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us Hayden.
I seriously applaud any celebrity that comes out and talks about mental health struggles. These people have a platform to bring an attention to this subject and it’s not easy sharing personal struggles. Great job! 👏
I wish more women would be smart enough to let the children stay with their fathers while they take care of themselves. And I wish the society wouldn’t judge them for it. She is a great actress, good luck to her!
Unfortunately we live in a world that is very judgemental. I also suffered from major depression and anxiety. I allowed my son to live with his father and step mom, while I saw him every other weekend and holidays. I was trashed by my family. I lost friends and ultimately I lost my son who is now 33 and hasn't spoken to me in 10+ years. He feels I abandoned him no matter how much I was in his life and never more than 2 hours away, a phone call away, etc. Things don't always work out so great. Hayden is very fortunate to have an ex partner who supports her in her mental health journey. I'm very happy she's doing so well now.
Umm that doesn’t mean her daughter won’t resent her later on. You just admitted you lost your son in the last ten years. Kids know something isn’t right and will figure it out in their adult years. You are probably narcissistic
Smart? Which fathers? No. It's complicated.
@@onomonopoeia right. This comment reads as very back handed.
@@cherubcherrycola2382 It does.
she’s so well spoken and strong. her story reminds me a lot of Drew Barrymore’s story as a child actress. even though she’s recovering and thriving, you can also still see that air of sadness and it breaks my heart. Hayden has always had tremendous potential and I’m glad she’s back for Scream 6 and happier now. i know she has a bright future 💛
I hear her slurring her words...
@Clif Diggz did you watch the interview? she explains why she did that.
Strong?? She seems cosseted and spoilt to me. Accustomed to getting plenty of attention with no substance to back it up - which doesn't work when you get past about 24.
She is strong for getting through this, and well spoken but I know what anyone is talking about with her words, drugs do that to people, I think it's easier to spot when you've been around certain people and know what certain types of past drug addicts can sound like. I knew something was going on, I remember she got hate for leaving her daughter with the father. But she has to work on herself. Only women get more comments on parenthood in Hollywood, I never hear about men in entertainment "he's rarely with his kid".
@Clif Diggz trust me, if she didn’t love her child as much as she does, she wouldn’t have separated from her and sent her to be safe with her dad. That is what a self-less mother does. My son for the 1st year of his life was mostly raised by my in laws as I had severe post partum depression and needed to get help. It guts you. But you know what is best for your child even if it’s not you at the time. I couldn’t imagine being in front of a tv from 8 months old to now especially with pedo-wood being the way it is. She endured some dark shit for sure. It can destroy you and she’s lucky to be alive and working through it.
It’s so sad to hear all of these child stars from the 90s and early 00s coming out now as adults and talking about the abuse they endured. Alyson Stoner and Jeanette McCurdy have also talked about their experiences and it makes you wonder if any of the child stars from that time were truly safe and protected.
The industry has changed a lot over the last couple of decades so hopefully kids now are in a better industry with more protections out in place.
Like every other person? lol. They don’t even need to confess.
It has not changed this has been talked about for decades
It hasn’t changed.
@@J43862 It has. But whether it’s enough to protect child actors, idk. I have several friends that work in Hollywood and they’ve all told me that more protections are put into place pretty frequently. The rules about payment have changed, the percentage of earnings that go directly into a trust has increased (I think it’s to 50% from the previous 20% but I’m not sure), and children have set work and school hours that film crews need to work around. Those are the big ones I can think of at the moment. It’s changed, but idk if what’s changed is enough to prevent this type of exploitation.
@@J43862 Not all child celebrities mess up, Jes. Look at Ryan Gosling.
BTW I hope the dark cloud that descended on some of yesteryear's young stars, including Britney Spears, Drew Barrymore, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rob Lowe, Amanda Bynes, Brad Renfro, Lindsay Lohan, Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Jackson, will serve as a stern warning to the young celebs of today (I'm talkin' to ya, Billie Eilish).
It's horrific. I suspected she had post partum, disordered eating and addictions (I couldn't watch Nashville during her character suffering, it felt too real, too visceral) yet you don't want to believe someone is suffering so much. Hayden you're extraordinary and brave. Thank you for speaking your truth. It will help so many people.
Don’t ever feel ashamed for doing the right thing for your daughter!!!! You are a great mom for choosing what’s best for her and not yourself. Be proud and stand tall for that! A father is just as important as a mother and the world needs to accept and honor that!!
I remember the insanity swirling around when she couldn't hide her addiction any longer, in public. People are so quick (and sickly excited) to judge. I am happy to see her in a good place. Releasing those "secrets" is what keeps you healthy. Secrets make you sick.
What was she addicted too? Prescription opiates?
@@sevenmilewhite1407 yes. that, and alcohol
@@ashleymarks3726 thanks. The video really never clarified I don't believe. Appreciate you.
I don't
@@bigoshenanigans6581 you don’t what??
She is a really good actress. She always catches your attention in a film.
I would love to see a sit down between her and Drew Barrymore, they have such similar stories.
Earlier this year when Scream 5 was about to come out, Drew did a Scream week on her show where she interviewed cast members all week. Maybe since Hayden is returning for Scream 6, she'll have her on the show in March. It would be a great interview. Drew has been through it all.
Lindsay Lohan too.
She's definitely on some heavy medications here. I'm an an heroin/fentynal addict been sober for over 3 years now and I can just tell. I absolutely love her I'm so happy she's doing better I don't think she's totally sober yet though but she's definitely getting there. Love you Hayden
Yeah she is slurring and very slow in her speaking.
Me too. I just said the exact same thing. She seems very medicated. It’s sad bc if that’s the case and she’s lying about being sober that’s a bad place to be.
I mean it's really not fair to make that assessment. She hasn't done interviews or had to put on a persona since 2018. She may be a little rusty on having a clear speaking voice for the camera but that doesn't mean pills. I didn't hear slurring but maybe slower because she's not rushing to have a pretty, polished answer for the camera like the old days.
I certainly empathize with her struggles but she comes across as high. No doubt!. Her recovery as for most with substance addiction is lifelong. Best wishes to her .
Someone finally said it. I lost my brother to addiction and she is on something. Period. Could be methadone, subs.
That broke my heart when she said her daughter still loves her for whatever reason! I started crying when she said that. Of course she still loves you! Your her mama. Hayden was such an icon and I grew up watching her, wanting to be like her. I am so happy she is coming back and filming again! Perhaps she can write a book and share her personal stories. The more the people know, the better parents and their upcoming child star can be prepared and aware of what it’s like to be in Hollywood and to be a childhood star. She and navy others coming toward can save kiddos!
Same. BTW Cancervibess777, I subbed.
Yeah, but her mama who abandoned her so that she could drink and party. The fact that kaya loves her is only because she has a great father who taught her to love her mom, even if said mom would rather hang around brian whatshisname than be there for her daughter. Kaya being a healthy and loving child is 100% thanks to her dad, he gets all the credit.
I love her! I’m glad she’s doing alright, what an amazing woman💖
Very happy she found her way to dealing with her mental health and addiction. She is very, very fortunate that she had the money and ability to go to treatment over and over as she states. The average person cannot get that kind of care. Especially with mental health. I hope she continues to speak out and raise awareness to end the stigma, shame and misunderstanding surrounding mental health and addiction.
So very well said and written although I like Hayden as an actress it’s deeply true about having privileges advantages. When it’s a serious struggle for regular folks like us…
You are absolutely right about mental health struggles in America- my brother in law battles bipolar/depression/anxiety and getting him help has been the hardest challenge of our lives- for the first 6 years he had a lot of money from his 401k and basically blew it all sleeping his life away in a luxury apartment, he could pay for top notch psychiatrists and hospital stays and prescriptions but now he’s broke, in the hospital and was kicked out of his apartment and can’t afford his psychiatric doctors and will be basically homeless when he’s released- trying to get him help from the State - Texas- is virtually impossible. He could have gotten all the help he needed when he had money and it was too easy for him to ignore his health and never felt the pressure to actually get stable and keep a job and be healthy- now he’s at rock bottom and will have to chose between his car or a shelter and the resources available are pitiful…. He will become a statistic of yet another homeless man with mental illness who can’t afford his prescriptions or a dr or a bed to sleep in- and for anyone wondering why we are not letting him live with us or paying for his meds- etc …we’ve done that and been there - for years- and he didn’t get better, he used it as another way to avoid having to try , avoiding having to get and stay healthy and having him live with us for 3 years literally led to my marriage falling apart because i could see what my ex couldn’t- that we could not help him and that even though he’s legitimately sick he’s incredibly selfish and manipulative- it’s the illness i know- but just like a heroin addict he used and abused everyone in his life - and now my ex has finally come to me and said “ you were right all along “… that’s not what I wanted to hear and it doesn’t mean anything except that my ex will finally not allow his brother to destroy his life…. If J doesn’t want to get healthy then no one can wish it to happen-
"For what ever reason, she still loves me"
....i hurt for her. She's strong
My heart breaks for this woman as a mother
She does not seem like a good mother. Save your sympathy for the innocent one in the situation, her daughter.
My heart breaks for her as a mother because she was a child thrown into the lions den and no one protected her. Look at her eyes and the way she speaks now and compare it to an interview when she was young. She looks broken and so so sad. She is an amazing mother, she knew that she would damage her child and so she let her go. That's the hardest thing a mother can do. Don't be so quick to judge a human when you haven't lived a day in their life.
Very sincere and vulnerable interview. So much sadness in her, too. Heartbreaking. She really did deserve better. I'm glad she's speaking out on this issue. Wish her the best.
She’s an actress.
@@Starlight-mp4pk she’s also still a human ..
@@imoo4917 Anyone sensible would take it with a grain of salt. Anyway, it doesn’t matter - she’ll never be the primary caregiver for her daughter now, it’s too late.
I hate to be negative, but something feels off to me. As the daughter of an addict, my gut is telling me she’s got a long road ahead. Who knows, perhaps I’m projecting. I truly hope I’m wrong tho. && I wish her all the healing, health, happiness & peace.
Agree 100%. This doesn't feel like she's on the other side of her addiction. It was not too long ago she was rolling around on the pavement in a bar fight with her abusive boyfriend in an extremely disturbing video, so I think it's a little too soon for this interview.
I don't think she said she is. Unless I missed something. She is just saying, she recognized her addiction and working toward healing
@@sogiki Omg your right I just checked and that was only 3 months ago! She clearly is not telling the truth in terms of her being recovered. You don't come out with a comeback interview like this unless you have been on a sober path at least a year.
@@suras8984 i assume she has to clean up her image to promote her next project, since she’s contractually obligated to promote it. She’s probably also trying to attract new work.
I think you’re right. Hopefully she can take some time away from the spotlight to recover
Being a addict myself, I've been clean for 2 1/2 yrs I understand most of what this young woman is saying, and I agree with most of it, but it was only about 3 months that tmz showed her and her boyfriend getting into a bar fight with her getting kicked. She needs to surround herself with better people and hold off from any relationships for awhile. I truly wish her only to succeed. 🙂
I was thinking of that incident too! I think she wants to rehabilitate her image, but sadly I don't think she has overcome her demons.
Why would she be grateful to be back in the business? You shouldn’t look for happiness in the same place that you lost it.
I’m curious how she was able to get clean from opiates. Is she on medication assisted treatment?
@@meghan4740 because when you’re an actor or actress that has no other work history or significant education and are approaching mid life, it’s scary to start over. People with educations and normal jobs struggle to start over but imagine having no qualifications and every potential employer knows it cus they recognize you and have preconceived notions about who you are. Much easier to sign contracts for millions of dollars doing what you know, and pay a therapist for support. Parents of child actors really screw them up more than they could even imagine.
@@MichelleParkerElaineI'm not being mean, but Truthful. I adore this little Lady! My best friend is an Addict, and now in Recovery. She was on Opiates & Alcohol as well. Nobody can just go Cold Turkey off of both of those.She is on Anti Depressants and Benzodiazepines!
To be Honest here..It sounds like Hayden maybe did something extra? I really do not know. I've listened to her speak before, and it sure didn't sound like this! 😏
I’m glad she’s certainly speaking her honest truth you can see, and hear if not feel the pain in her voice let alone eyes. Very sad and again there’s obviously a dark side to childhood if not teen fame. Especially not having strong parents or even family/sense of grounding around. ❤️🩹 I am wishing her the best…💛🙏🏾💛
Nice to see ya here, Mike. BTW it's me the former Kim Martin.
Love her honesty! Addiction is so very hard to overcome. It’s a daily struggle. Wishing her continued strength and perseverance.
Indeed she is, girl. BTW no offense but Frank Ocean is crap.
P.S. I also like retro music, Susie.
Thanks, girl.
@@karlc2869 Lol how’d you bring up Frank Ocean from my comment?
Retro music is rad.
@@susiekim5728 Ok.
She's quite clearly still unwell... Her speech is very slurred throughout this interview and I think People should have thought twice about publishing this...
Just what I was thinking, I’m hoping it’s just meds she is on
It could be that she's still using but it could also be neural damage from the drugs and especially alcohol, which sounded like her primary drug anyway. Alcohol is an evil, evil drug and does tremendous damage to your brain, especially with women and especially small women like Hayden who's body probably doesn't have the same degree of tolerance. I have almost 11 years sober myself (booze for me) and I remember for the first 2 or 3 years I would often get distracted in conversation, got tired easily, sometimes had trouble concentrating, sometimes couldn't always find my words and trail off a bit when telling a story, all things I see with Hayden here. Let's hope it's just a continuation of her recovery. If not, I'm afraid she might not make it to 40 years old.
I was thinking the same thing plus she's back with the boyfriend that assaulted her...
@@OfficialMyDo Her speech is definitely slurred at times and very slow, and she does not always talk like that.
@@OfficialMyDo I have watched her other videos and she doesn't sound nearly as sedated usually. I dont rhink she needs to sound giddy at all, but at several points in the interview she was slurring her words.
Also, just as an aside, she said her addiction issues were so bad that she needed to start her day off with a drink and has been struggling for years so I'm not sure it's a good sign if she sounds the same now as all her other videos 🤷♀️
You went through a lot but here you are one of the best actress there is God bless you and your little daughter
I had no idea if Hayden’s struggles. She is a very articulate young woman. I hope she is proud of herself for all that she has accomplished. And to have her daughter stay with the dad is commendable while she took care of herself, because if she isn’t 100%….her daughter will suffer. 🙏
Yeah I totally have so much respect for her she did the right thing for her daughter
@@angelaholmes8888 Really? Her daughter is half-Ukrainian and the country is fighting a bitter war with the Russians. Her father and uncle, two heroes are leading the defense of Kiew. I don't think the father of the child has much time on his hands to care for the daughter. If this woman had one shred of motherly instinct she would have gone over there to either get her or to stay by her side.
@@charliebarrow7086 I don’t wanna judge but I was thinking she should’ve brought her back to the states
@@newflower8974 far too late for that now - she’s been raised as a Ukrainian and US is a foreign country to her. She probably hardly knows her biological mother. It would be unfair and disruptive for the kid to be ripped from her father’s family (with whom she’s presumably staying).
@@charliebarrow7086 too late. And if WK ever gets married and the kid gets a nice stepmother this woman will never see her again.
Thank you for a refreshingly Honest interview, Hayden!
I wish there were stricter laws in place to protect children in Hollywood from the adults around them, including their own parents!
How many children are currently being used and abused and turned into addicts, as we speak?
Ps. My darling, I feel for you! May God bless you and your family x
PPs. She looks a lot like Cameron Diaz at points
Agreed. I mean, there are some child stars who stayed sane but like John Cusack said in 2014: Hollywood today is place where people go mad.
Thanks, girl.
I admire her guts for speaking out. Unfortunately I don’t even recognize her.
Hi dear how are you doing?
Hayden was my childhood! Her character in 'Bring it On All or Nothing' was my favourite as a teenager. Amazing woman.
I've always envied her for her acting, and beauty. I never knew she was struggling with addiction. It's really hard to see your family members go through it too cause my mom was an alcoholic was my sisters and I were young, and she was not able to provide the best care for us. She was not in my life for a decade. Luckily enough, my dad was a great supporter, and took on the second mom role in my life when my mom could not. To this day my mom is slowly back in my life and I am so grateful that she is choosing to try and get sober.
I hope what happened to Hayden and her fellow child/teen celebs from yesteryear (Britney Spears, Drew Barrymore, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rob Lowe, Jodie Sweetin, Amanda Bynes, Edward Furlong, Shia LaBeouf, Shaun Weiss, Wesley Snipes, Nicholas Brendon, Mike Lookinland, Drake Bell, Marcus T. Paulk, Jake Lloyd, Bobby Brown, Tevin Campbell, Shannen Doherty, Dee Jay Daniels, Brad Renfro, Aaron Carter, Lindsay Lohan, Robert Downey Jr., Sam Worthington, Judy Garland, Veronica Lake, El DeBarge, Hank Williams Jr. and Michael Jackson) will serve as a stern warning to today's young stars (like Troye Sivan). Do ya agree?
she should play Cameron Diaz’s little sister in a film.
Somebody finally said it!
Yass I was thinking this the entire time.
I agree, she looks just like her in this video!
Far too short.
Congratulations Hayden on being so open and honest about your struggles and on deciding to work on yourself! Telling your story can only help and inspire other people to get help. All the best to you! Thank you 💗
What an amazing woman! Wish her the very best in the world. The part where she spoke of her daughter really broke me “and for some reason she still loves me”. Hope she can shed everything that doesn’t serve her and be completely happy and healthy.
I am so proud of her for telling her story. May God continue to guide her on this journey .
Very candid interview about her struggles, so glad she's feeling better.
I have so much love and respect for this woman. It’s not easy to go through this, but to be so open. She has a strength I wish I had
She’s such a powerhouse. I’m glad she’s getting better. I love you Hayden! We all do! Thank you for being so open and honest.
You will save lives by spreading the awareness on addiction. Wishing you the best Hayden.
Where the hell were her parents, to say NO to the "happy pills" and the parties? I don't care how big a star the kid becomes, parents still have the responsibility of being parents.
Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, the parents of child stars are so concerned with the money rolling in and exploiting them, they don't think of the well-being of their children. You see it all the time, that's why you hear about a lot of child stars turning to drugs and other addictions.
Kinda ironic since she only visits her daughter and doesn’t seem to parent herself
From what I heard her father was very abusive to her mother growing up
@@amandar273 Evidently so.
@@angelaholmes8888 Sounds like both parents were neglectful.
This is one of my favorite interviews I have ever watched! So happy she is healthy and happy! I’ve always loved her!
How brave & beautiful of her to share her deepest sadness so vulnerably. We as humans should be able to do so with no shame. Love you Hayden! Good vibes your way ✨🤍
Thank you for your honesty Hayden! God bless you. Addiction is Hell, love seeing you overcome!
Hayden you are a warrior for your life and your humility is so aspiring!
Def teared~up hearing her talk about her daughter, and then getting the update on Kirby … wow wow wow. What a beautiful interview 💫
I’m happy that she’s finally speaking out and living in her truth!❤️❤️
Such a wonderful and beautiful person. To come to terms with these things and to do what is best for a child shows the true love and devotion this woman possesses. Just makes you want to hug her and let her know how good she truly is.
wow.. you never know what someone is going through. her work has brought so much joy to my life, i am glad she is finally able to experience some of her own. sending her so much love. excited to see more kirby!!!!
Love Hayden, she's always been a phenomenal talent. I hope she's getting the help she deserves.
I hope she’s able to build the career that she wants from a place that makes her happy. Awesome interview and it’s nice to see her in a good place. Wish her all the best x
Hayden thank you for being so honest. Wishing you continued success and peace ❤️
I wish I could talk to Hayden in person! This story really hit home for me and I relate to everything so much! Thank you for sharing your story because it lets me and others know we’re not alone. Thank you so much ❤️
I’m so happy for her to be in a better place and able to speak her truth! 💕
She’s so vulnerable here. Wishing you the best, Hayden! You’ve always been a fav of mine.
Thank you for being open about your struggles with addiction. I am almost one year sober from alcohol. I pray it helps open the eyes of many people affected in different ways.
She's one of my favourite actresses. I grew up watching her (we're about the same age) and I always hoped she would do well for herself. I'm glad she's doing better.
I’m so happy. She is such an amazing talented person.
What a beautiful soul! So proud of all shes overcome! Addiction is a life long fight, but shes a strong women and will succeed ❤
Thank you for being so raw, real, open and honest.
Normalize talking about depression and other mental health disorders! I'm so proud of her for having the strength to open up about her past and getting help. ❤️🙏🏼
She’s an amazing actress. I appreciate her transparency. So happy she was able to get the help that she needed. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. This story is such an inspiration to so many.
Transparency? She is high as a kite here. Very sad.
@@Wendybird34 uh no she's not
@@Wendybird34 I was thinking the same thing. Something certainly seems off.
Hayden you are so strong! You have always been gorgeous and you are still gorgeous! I respect and commend you for sharing your struggles. Someone needs/needed to hear this. You are blessed. Remain authentic and honest. Thank you for sharing.
Always been my favorite actress since I watched Heroes and she's honestly a real life hero for speaking on this shit. So much respect and love for this woman
Thats wonderful she's using her platform to talk about these things. It must feel so good to get it all off her chest, heal & move forward one day at a time. Someone out there struggling will see this story & find the strength to push through because of her vulnerability!
I'm so proud of her for speaking her truth. Kudos to her for the strength to speak out. Child stars go through so much to appease everyone. Thank goodness she is well and taking care of herself, her family, and well being as an adult and mother. I will always see her as a little girl, but this young woman is strong. Thanks for the interview! Hopefully it helps other young people in the industry.
IKR but not all kid stars mess up, Aleah. Look at Jason Bateman. There are some who stayed sane. I do agree with your comment tho, girl.
I really like her. Such a captivating screen presence and seems like such a grounded person. Such a moving interview. I really hope it helps a lot of people x
She's amazing, such a big part of my childhood. So glad she is doing well and making her return to the Scream franchise.
Also what a good mother for doing the right thing and putting her child first. Beautiful soul.
I Remember this woman from heroes she's very beautiful and a great actress I'm glad shes doing well I'm 40 I suffer from mental health and it's very serious good for you girl.
Are you ok now?
I am so happy that you are back happy and healthy Hayden, you have been missed. I became a huge fan during your Nashville years and think you are a very talented and gifted young woman. Bravo to you for fighting to overcome your demons and I just know that your future will be bigger and brighter than it ever was before. Your daughter loves you because you have shown her your strength and determination to keep her safe no matter the personal cost to you, having to separate from her and working very hard to get your true self back. I was a fan before and am an even bigger one now. Looking forward to what the future holds for you and your many fans.
Wow. I had no idea she’s been through so much. It must be so hard for her to be away from her daughter. That speaks volumes as to the seriousness of her situation. I’m proud of her for fighting so hard to work on herself. I have a new found respect for her. You go girl.
Stay strong Hayden! You are still Sooooooo beloved!
She talks slower. Wow. Addiction has a powerful impact on your brain, your physical health etc. I’m glad to see she’s coming out of that. Kudos to her. She is very poised & strong, good for her. 👏🏻🥺
I think she is probably medicated (prescription) right now and that is what we are seeing.
maybe she's just enough work on herself to learn to choose the words carefully
@@carrieb5711 She was in a drunk physical fight at a bar 3 months ago. It's on tmz. I highly doubt that its because she's done work on herself lol.
@@suras8984 maybe that was her breaking point and she went to rehab shortly after
She’s an actress.
This story was done so well I’m in recovery and we all know what being in active addiction looks like but this story focuses on her recovery and after treatment and there is hope after addiction!! Thank you for a great story she’s amazing and will continue to do amazing things!!❤️
Way to go Hayden. Thankyou for opening up about your struggles and your recovery. It’s not an easy journey.
Loved how honest she was about this. We all knew something was wrong but didn’t necessarily know the level. Praying she gets better over time
Hopefully this is the beginning of a much deserved comeback for her 🙏
Amazing for her to finally feel like she can share this. Grateful for recovery one day at a time.
Kudos to Hayden for sharing her story! I hope her journey continues to be one filled with more healing and joy, especially with her daughter.
So happy she’s gotten to the place where she was ready to experience true healing and is continuing that process!❤️ It’s incredibly brave for any celebrity to open up with their struggles, and it also helps more people than they’ll ever realize-as people who are experiencing the struggles she was having see that healing is possible! Seriously couldn’t be happier for her
IKR hmy 8799. BTW I subbed to you, girl.
Love her! So glad she’s doing better and can’t wait to see her return as Kirby in the new Scream movie!
Love you Hayden! We're about the same age, and I've always admired you and your acting, also your beauty too💕 I cried happy tears for you towards the end of this interview. Glad you are taking care of yourself and doing well!! Xo
What an amazing woman you are! Thank you for being so transparent, you have the ability to reach alot of people and help transform lives. I wish you all the best!
I love her! She looks like she has been true a lot.. she looks tired but still so beautiful 😍
I hope she can start doing more shows bc I really do love her! She’s always one of my favorite characters in any show she’s in! I just want her to do what’s best for her!
Awww I just love her and hearing her story. So brave. God bless you Hayden!
Hayden you said all the words that I've been trying to find for over 20 years. You are an inspiration and I truly want to thank you for sharing such a deep honest painful part of yourself with the world. Above all you are BRAVE. And your daughter is very lucky to have a mom that recognizes that sometimes we have to let them go to give them better and that my friend is the most selfless act a mother can do. Sending good vides your way.❤
I have always been such a huge fan of you Hayden!! You’re an incredible actress and woman. You are here to spread your love and light. I’ve always seen you. We’re the same age, and you were like a friend to me growing up together 💗
Threw up! Find friends...
I love her pace, it comes from within. Congrats on all of your achievements @hayden
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
So brave to speak up like this and what an incredible mother that she put her child’s needs before her own.
I give you so much credit for your honesty. Wishing you a Lifetime of sobriety. ❤️
She is medicated on something here. I'm thinking methadone or subs...and according to TMZ she was drunk at the end of March with her addicted boyfriend. I pray for her recovery. Hope she let's go of the guy
Please note I say this with true love. I lost my brother to addiction. No judgements just prayers for a human suffering the curse of addiction
What are you seeing in her? Is it her mannerisms?
@@mariakoufalis1487 Her speech and the swelling in her face is one sign. I'm on anti-depressants and my speech was all over the place for quite a while and my face swelled up too.
@@mariakoufalis1487 if you know addiction personally there is so much to see unfortunately.
Congratulations, Hayden! 2 1/2 yrs sober myself. Let's keep up the good work! Mornings are so beautiful now. 😁
I'm sorry to hear she's going through so much. I hope and pray she gets her daughter back home. Safe and healthy. 🦄💖🦄💖
This is THE MOST relatable thing I have watched in a long time. Wow. Thank you.
Parents who have children in show business need to take care of them. There have been many child star success stories such as Mayim Bialik, but she had responsible parents who were with her at all times and pulled her out of showbusiness and coached her into going to college.
Unfortunately, not all child stars have that good support system. Many of them want to exploit their kids for the money they bring in. It's really sad.
so sad to listen to Hayden's addiction struggle - you just look at her with her beauty and talent and think her life is so perfect. She is so strong and brave!
She has always been a fantastic actress and I am so happy and Proud of her! She is an asset to hollywood
Hayden, thankyou so much for sharing your story. I am a 69 year old women, alcoholic in recovery for 15 and a half years. I also suffered childhood trauma. I totally understand the struggle you have gone through. I am a retired Crisis Intervention Counselor for Addiction. I am so happy to hear you have found recovery from trauma and addiction. As always One Day at a Time.....loved you in Nashville. I really related to your character...love you ❤️❤️❤️
This interview is brutally honest. I am currently in treatment and it’s not hard but definitely not easy. Everyday is a struggle. Be patient with others is so much easier than trying to be patient with yourself especially if you’re not comfortable with yourself.
I’m wishing you all the best! NEVER GIVE UP
I swear to God I love this woman she has gone through it and you know what I know life imitates art and I know actors don't like to be compared to her characters but she's gone through exactly the same thing Juliet Barnes went through in Nashville I mean their personalities may be different in the outcome may be different their journeys near each other
Gosh this tears at my heart. Sending her love. I’m glad that things have turned for her. She is strong and beautiful
Indeed she is, girl.
You are an amazing mother. Your love for your daughter shows and I admire how fondly you speak of her father. Thank you for sharing such a personal journey with your addiction. It will inspire many to have the courage to get help X
Calling her an “amazing mother” is a huge stretch, and a bit of an insult to all those women who don’t have a fraction of her resources yet still manage to deal with problems and step up to the plate.
