In a recent interview, Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the hit show 'Nashville', revealed that despite the success she achieved through the show, the filming experience was personally distressing for her.
From 2012 to 2018, Panettiere played the role of Juliette Barnes, a country star, on the TV series Nashville. Throughout her career, she has been candid about her battles with alcohol, opioids, and post-partum depression. In a recent interview, she revealed that the show's writers took inspiration from her own life experiences to create storylines for her character. This added a layer of complexity to the filming process, making it particularly challenging for Panettiere.
Right from the start, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette starts dating one too," Panettiere explains. "And then they portray her as an alcoholic. Then they show her leaving her daughter and going to some crazy place in Europe, and it was very clear that they weren't being creative. They weren't coming up with new storylines. They were just taking inspiration from my life and adding their own twist to it. And just like that, it's done and finished."
According to Panettiere, her time on Nashville was highly fulfilling in terms of her career. However, she also found the experience to be deeply distressing as it felt like she was reliving her own personal life through her acting.
Panettiere is planning a tour called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere" that will take place in three different cities. Through this tour, she aims to inspire and support individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has.
