Lesley Vogel, Hayden Panettiere’s mom, is slamming Gayle King after the CBS Mornings host criticized her response to her daughter’s death.
“I was very, very hurt and deeply disappointed in the lack of professionalism, the lack of compassion in slamming someone who’s lost two children, without even a modicum of consideration,” Vogel said during a recent interview with the Daily Mail regarding King’s comments.
“No one reached out to me before,” she added. “It’s shameful. It’s unconscionable to me.”
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to CBS Mornings for comment, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
Panettiere, an actress known for her roles in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise, died last Sunday at age 36. Following her death, Vogel spoke to NBC News on Tuesday, where she criticized her daughter’s on-again-off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and felt her daughter “lost her way.”
