In a preview of her “Today” show episode of “Red Table Talk,” which will air in its entirety on Wednesday, Panettiere detailed the “traumatized reaction” of her daughter, Kaya, after her ex Klitschko was granted full custody of her.
The actor in the past suffered from alcoholism which played a role in losing custody of his 7-year-old son. Kaya then moved to live with her father in Ukraine and began the strange act of “asking other women if she could call them Mommy.”
“I remember her dad calling me, and he said, ‘Kaya is going to go and ask the other women if he can call them Mommy,’ and my breath caught, and my heart stopped, and he laughed,” Panettiere said on the show that. to Jada Pinkett Smith, Adrienne Banfield-Norris and guest co-host Kelly Osbourne.
“He thinks it’s funny, and it scares me,” he added via Today.

While the retired boxer found the whole thing funny, the Nashville alum was a bit “horrific” because he believed his daughter’s actions were due to the trauma of living away from her mother and therefore needed the same relationship.
The actress continued: “She didn’t understand because I was the one who saw it, it was a trauma reaction. It was a cry for help. I immediately said, ‘Can I talk to my daughter?’ And when I asked him about it, he went ‘goo goo gaga’ talking. Like, just talking nonsense. I’ve never heard him do that. It’s trauma that he’s going through, I’m not around.”
Panettiere has since entered rehab to help him deal with his long-term alcoholism. However, he still regrets losing custody of his son because of his actions.

The actor explains in another scene, per Page Six: “I have been told that I can go and see him at any time. “I just have to keep hoping that one day when he’s old enough that his opinion is respected a little more and his wishes are heard, there will be more proactivity on that side.”
