Hayden Panettiere Opens Up About Traumatic Experience Filming ‘Nashville

  • by

Actress Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the popular TV series "Nashville," recently revealed in an interview that working on the show had a significant emotional impact on her, describing the experience as "very traumatizing." Despite achieving great success professionally through the show, Panettiere opens up about the challenges she faced while filming.

Panettiere played the role of Juliette Barnes, a country singer, in the TV show Nashville, which aired from 2012 to 2018. Throughout her career, she has been candid about her battles with alcohol, opioids, and post-partum depression. In a recent interview, Panettiere reveals that the show's writers heavily drew inspiration from her personal life to create her character's storylines, which added an extra layer of challenge to the filming process.

Right from the start, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette started dating one too," Panettiere explains. "And then they portrayed her as an alcoholic. After that, they had her abandon her daughter and go to some crazy place in Europe, and it was clear that they weren't being original. They didn't bother coming up with new storylines. They were simply taking inspiration from my own life and adding their own twist to it. And just like that, it was done and over with."

According to Panettiere, her time on Nashville was highly fulfilling for her career, but she found it to be a distressing experience as it felt like she was reliving her own life while acting.

Panettiere is planning to go on a tour called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere" in three different cities. Through this tour, she aims to inspire and support individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has in her own life.
