Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the hit TV show 'Nashville', recently revealed in an interview that filming the show had a significant impact on her emotional well-being, describing it as a "highly traumatic" experience.
Actress Panettiere played the role of Juliette Barnes, a country star, in the TV show Nashville, which aired from 2012 to 2018. Throughout her career, Panettiere has been candid about her challenges with alcohol, opioids, and post-partum depression. In a recent interview, she reveals that the show's writers drew heavily from her own experiences to shape her character's storylines, which made the filming process particularly tough for her.
Right from the beginning, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette starts dating a football player too," Panettiere explains. "But then they portrayed her as an alcoholic. After that, they had her abandon her daughter and go to this crazy place in Europe. It was clear that they weren't doing their research or coming up with new storylines. They were just taking elements from my life and putting their own twist on it. And voila, it's finished."
Panettiere expresses that her time on Nashville was highly fulfilling for her professional growth. However, she also admits that the experience was emotionally distressing as it felt like she was reliving her own personal experiences through the role she played.
Panettiere plans to start a tour called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere" in three different cities. The purpose of this tour is to inspire and support individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has in her own life.
