Hayden Panettiere’s Mom Denies Pressuring Daughter to Work as a Child

Melissa Gilbert has called for better protection of young stars following the deaths of Hayden Panettiere, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Daveigh Chase within one year. This advocacy comes as Panettiere's husband faces child sex abuse charges. Meanwhile, Lesley Vogel, the mother of the late Hayden Panettiere, has denied allegations that she pressured her daughter into full-time acting during childhood. In an interview with The Daily Mail, Vogel stated she was strong but never abusive toward her daughter.
