Estranged mom questions timing of Hayden Panettiere’s bisexual coming-out amid memoir promo

Hayden Panettiere’s estranged mother Lesley Vogel doubted the timing of Panettiere’s public coming-out as bisexual during the star’s memoir promotion for This Is Me: A Reckoning, saying there’s no proof it was hidden but calling the timing “interesting.” Panettiere had already discussed her sexuality in Us Weekly ahead of the memoir’s May 19 release, explaining she waited until 36 to share her truth, has explored relationships with women, and that paparazzi made openness difficult; the two are currently estranged, though Panettiere left room for reconciliation.
