And honestly ... she also has a huge empire -- The Honest Company!

Hayden Panettiere's estranged mom has some harsh judgment about her daughter's upcoming memoir ... accusing the actress of giving her "20 years of trauma" -- and suggesting the whole thing's more about selling books than healing wounds.

The major fear is that someone will see through the mask they present to the world and discover who they truthfully are."

Lesley told Page Six there’s no fixing the "condition" she was referring to ... claiming years of support and encouragement "will never be enough," and eventually she had no choice but to go no-contact.

Rihanna's got some fresh ink ... and it was inspired by her kids.
