Hayden Panettiere's estranged mother has publicly questioned her daughter's decision to come out as bisexual, with some outlets reporting she finds the timing "interesting". The mother's comments appear to be in response to claims made in Panettiere's memoir, which she suggests may be partially motivated by a desire to sell books. The mother's skepticism has prompted a reaction from Panettiere, amid a larger public back-and-forth between the two.
