In the wake of Hayden Panettiere’s death, her mother, Lindsey Vogel, made some surprising remarks.
Specifically, Lesley blasted Hayden’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, saying that the family had been “trying to get rid of” him.
Now, Gayle King is calling out Vogel for using a family tragedy as an opportunity to toss out insensitive remarks that should have remained private.
During Wednesday’s episode of CBS Mornings, King and her co-hosts discussed Vogel’s public statement about her daughter.
In addition to her comments about Hickerson, Vogel described Hayden as talented but said she had “lost her way” and wished she had “stayed true to herself.”
For King, the comments were difficult to hear.
“You know, guys, you read this and all I can think is, ‘Thanks, Mom, for nothing,’” King said.
The veteran journalist had interviewed Panettiere earlier this year, when the actress was promoting her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. Panettiere had been candid about her struggles and her complicated relationship with her mother.
King pointed out that Panettiere had already spent years publicly acknowledging her mistakes and personal battles.
“You hear stuff like that,” King said of Vogel’s comments, “and you realize that it was still very much in progress.”
King was referring to Panettiere’s description of her relationship with her mother as “very complicated” and a “work in progress.”
Co-host Vladimir Duthiers was similarly critical of Vogel’s decision to focus on her daughter’s struggles so soon after her death.
“Hayden Panettiere spent years publicly acknowledging her own failures, her own struggles,” Duthiers told King.
“She cannot respond now, and for her mother to use these days after Hayden’s death to just remind the world just how much trauma she caused, it’s unseemly.”
Kelly O’Grady also weighed in, noting that Vogel’s statement would have been received very differently if she had stopped with praise for her daughter.
“If it stopped at ‘She’s amazing and she’s talented,’” O’Grady said, “we would all agree.”
Instead, Vogel also took aim at Hickerson, who was with the actress when she died.
The complicated family dynamic has received renewed attention following Panettiere’s death. In her memoir and subsequent interviews, the actress spoke openly about her strained relationship with Vogel and the difficulty of separating their roles as mother and manager.
King ultimately expressed sadness over what she viewed as a missed opportunity to simply honor Panettiere.
“It makes me so sad of the opportunity that you have after your daughter’s death that that’s what you choose to leave us with,” King said.
Panettiere’s father, Skip Panettiere, took a markedly different approach in his tribute to his daughter, calling her “an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her.”
The actress’ official cause of death has not yet been confirmed. An autopsy reportedly found no signs of trauma, with toxicology results still pending.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

If you’ve spent any time on social media this week, then you’ve probably heard the name Natalie Harp.
Harp is an aide to Donald Trump who was mentioned in a speech by Sen. Jon Ossoff after she was handpicked to be smuggled out of Turkey with the president while other staffers were left behind following a security threat.
For obvious reasons, the relationship between boss and employee has received a fair amount of scrutiny, and Harp’s own brother has claimed that she has an “unhealthy obsession” with Trump.
Interest in Harp has prompted an investigation by the New York Times, and the paper of record has uncovered some odd occurrences during the 35-year-old’s White House tenure.
The Times obtained letters written by Harp to Trump, one of which finds her apologizing for walking a golf course in Scotland while her boss rolled along in a cart.
“I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland,” Harp allegedly wrote, adding:
“I want things to always be right between us. I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).”
She reportedly signed the letter, “With all my heart, Natalie,” which is not generally the tone one strikes when communicating with an employer.
And that’s not the only time that Natalie tested the conventions of workplace behavior.
According to a new report from CNN, Harp once got into a “screaming match” with fellow staffers in the lobby of Trump Tower.
The then-former president was preparing to be transported to a nearby courthouse, and though there was no space left in his SUV, Hart was “determined not to be left behind.”
To solve the problem, Harp reportedly climbed into the trunk and rode to the courthouse like a spare tire.
It wasn’t the first time that she was reduced to the status of an inanimate object. After all, Harp is nicknamed the Human Printer due to the fact that she follows the president around with a portable printer.
Say what you will about Harp’s dedication to her boss, at least we finally found a printer that actually works!

Many across the nation feel captivated by the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy.
Lisa Rinna is taking things one step further, unfortunately.
The actor and Real Housewife is adding her name to the list of those who believe that Lindsay is innocent of her crimes — and covering for her husband.
Rinna claims that there’s evidence to support her claims. Let’s unpack this.
Lindsay Clancy is not claiming to have not done it
As most are likely aware, Clancy is currently standing trial for the murders of her three small children.
It is critical that we acknowledge that neither Clancy nor her attorney is claiming that she did not do it.
Her legal defense is is that she was not in control over her actions due to extreme postpartum psychosis, profound mental illness, and alleged overmedication.
(We have reported on tragic cases of likely postpartum psychosis just recently. It is much rarer than postpartum depression, but it can happen.)
After taking the lives of her children, Clancy attempted to end her own life. She lived — but is now paralyzed and must use a wheelchair.
This is a complex case. Whenever postpartum psychosis leads to a tragedy, many people have strong feelings regarding the victims, the perpetrator, and anyone whom they might blame for not taking action sooner.
Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists are weighing in and making claims about Clancy’s guilt or innocence that no one at the trial is making.
And unfortunately, Lisa Rinna is one of them.
This week, the Bravolebrity took to social media to announce: “Alright he did it! Patrick did it. Patrick’s the one who did it.”
She is referring to Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay. And she is accusing him of killing their three children and allowing his wife to take the fall.
Lisa Rinna claims Lindsay Clancy didn’t kill her three children because “women don’t strangle.” She says her therapist told her that women “poison” and that Patrick Clancy killed the children #RHOBH pic.twitter.com/WGe6ftOJCB
— Dorinda Deadly (@dorindadeadly) August 18, 2026
‘Women don’t strangle’
Why is Lisa Rinna making this claim? Well, she’ll explain.
“I also heard that women typically don’t strangle … that’s awful to even say,” she said. “But that isn’t what a woman would do. They don’t strangle.”
Rinna then cited her therapist as the source of this actually somewhat true but missing key context belief.
“What do they do? Well, they poison. Or they drown them.”
Rinna then claimed: “And she looks at me and she goes, ‘He did it.’”
The opinion of Rinna’s therapist notwithstanding, it is true that women who commit murder (when not simply using a gun or an accomplice) are historically more likely to use poison. This gendered aspect of violence makes a lot of sense, and no, it is not the result of some sort of intrinsic feminine trait.
If you are part of a group that is statistically (but not always) smaller and less muscular but you are also part of a group that is too often (but not always) expected to feed people, you have two incentives to use a harder-to-trace murder weapon than someone who might have an easy time bludgeoning someone to death and then disposing of the remains.
Poisoning someone’s food, their drink, their medicine, their toiletries … these are the acts of intentional homicide. Which is not what basically anyone in Clancy’s life believes happened.
Instead, it’s believed that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. This can take various forms, but a massive hormonal imbalance combined with other factors can cause someone’s protective instincts to backfire, making them a danger to their children. And this is the sad result.
Clancy was not trying to get away with killing her kids. She was not thinking clearly and she also tried to end her own life. Additionally, she was bigger and stronger than the victims.
Some of Rinna’s unproven statements on other topics sound very believable. This one different. And this tragic case should not fall prey to sensationalism.

It’s been three days since the death of Hayden Panettiere, and new details about the actress’ final hours are still pouring in.
We now know Hayden was at an apartment complex with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, at the time of her death.
And with Panettiere’s death still under investigation, police have made a notable visit to a Hickerson family home.
According to TMZ, the visit was part of a larger investigation to determine if criminal conduct may have played a role in Hayden’s passing.
Two Greenville Police Department vehicles reportedly arrived at the South Carolina residence of Hickerson’s grandmother, Betty Ellison, at approximately 8:20 a.m.
Witnesses say an officer knocked repeatedly on the front door while another attempted to access the home from the side. The officers left after roughly three minutes.
TMZ later reported that police returned about 90 minutes later to “conduct a welfare check.” A Greenville Police Department representative confirmed the visit but did not specify who the officers were checking on.
Hickerson’s brother, Zach, 38, was reportedly inside the home during the initial visit. Brian, 37, and Zach had both been seen at the property the previous day.
The residence is approximately five miles from the Greenville Airbnb where Panettiere was found unresponsive on Sunday, August 16.
The 36-year-old actress was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m. after emergency responders attempted to revive her. Dispatch audio reportedly referenced a possible overdose and cardiac arrest, though an official cause of death has not been released.
An autopsy found “no signs of trauma” that would have contributed to Panettiere’s death. However, the investigation remains active while authorities await toxicology results.
Brian was reportedly at the Airbnb when Panettiere died. According to a police report, he was asleep in another room when Zach discovered the actress unresponsive in a chair.
Brian also reportedly showed officers a bag containing medications Panettiere had been taking.
The circumstances surrounding Panettiere’s final days have drawn increased scrutiny because of her complicated history with Hickerson. The pair dated on and off for years, and Hickerson was convicted of felony charges related to domestic violence against the actress in 2021.
Panettiere’s mother, Lesley Vogel, has also publicly criticized Hickerson’s role in her daughter’s life following the actress’ death.
For now, authorities have not publicly accused Hickerson or anyone else of wrongdoing in connection with Panettiere’s death.
But with the investigation ongoing and toxicology results still pending, there are clearly plenty of unanswered questions surrounding the tragedy.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Jill Duggar is preparing to rehome the family dog.
Over a year after Derick Dillard left his job, he has completed his training to become a military lawyer.
In 2021, the Dillards adopted their beloved canine companion.
Now, they’ll have to find a new home for her before they move as part of their new lives as a military family.
‘Help us find her a loving home!’
After 5 years, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are aiming to rehome Fenna.
They did not publicly announce this news, such as by posting it on their family website or on one of the Dillard family social media pages.
Instead, Derick posted to a Facebook group titled “Northwest Arkansas Dog Talk.”
The actual title, and not the AI-generated slop that Meta added to it, was: “Rehoming family dog due to upcoming military move!!”
Within the post, he shared details about Fenna, the family dog of five years.
“Name: Fenna,” he wrote. “Breed: German Shepherd mix ([paperwork] when we adopted her in Rogers, AR in Jan. 2021 said she was Belgian Malinois, but we did the DNA Embark test and it showed mostly German Shepherd.)”
Derick continued: “Other: She is fixed, chipped and overall healthy dog.”
He assessed: “She loves our active kids (ages 11-4), loves being outside, but also ok in kennel.”
Derick detailed: “We went through 1st level of Petco classes after adopting her, so she knows basic commands (e.g. sit, stay, place, here, & likes when the kids make her jump through the hoola hoop for treats etc.).”
He then implored members of the Facebook group: “Help us find her a loving home! DM us if interested!”
Maybe this is for the best?
Naturally, Derick Dillard is just enough of a public figure that this immediately broke containment — while not being famous enough to have someone who looks into things for him (or just, you know, having enough money to not need this job or to move).
On social media, people exchanged strong opinions about this move.
Many cannot imagine taking a member of the family of 5 years and just sending them to another household due to a move.
However, others pointed out that this isn’t about uprooting the family to Rhode Island. It’s about the military lifestyle.
Temporary military housing is often not a place for a pet — especially for a larger dog. And, according to Derick, it could be up to eight months until the Dillards are even allowed to have a dog.
Many people across social media are sharing their experiences.
Numerous commenters — even those who do not regard Derick or any others in the extended Duggar clan with a charitable eye — noted that a new home might be what’s best for Fenna.
Dogs — especially young, active dogs — need space to run around, they need loving families who can shower them with affection and help them to keep their routines.
A number of folks discussed memories of losing their own pets, including during moves, as children. This can sometimes be a traumatic experience with effects on how one views pets and personal loss. The emotional impact can outlive almost any pet (except, like, a tortoise or certain parrots).
And others remarked on how this will be a major adjustment for Jill Duggar. She’s a military wife. That’s just going to be different, especially for someone who grew up in a cult and is still playing catch-up with the real world.
