Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the hit show "Nashville," recently opened up about her experience filming the series, describing it as a deeply distressing and traumatic experience for her. Despite the show's success, Panettiere reveals the toll it took on her emotionally.
Panettiere, known for her role as Juliette Barnes in the TV series Nashville from 2012 to 2018, has been candid about her battles with alcohol, opioids, and post-partum depression. In a recent interview, she reveals that the show's writers drew heavily from her own experiences for her character's storylines, resulting in challenging filming conditions.
Right from the start, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette dates a football player," Panettiere explains. "But then they portrayed her as an alcoholic. Then they depicted her leaving her daughter and going to some crazy place in Europe, and it was very clear that they were not being original. They were not coming up with new storylines. They were simply taking inspiration from my life and putting their own twist on it. And just like that, it's finished."
Panettiere expressed that her time on the show Nashville was fulfilling in terms of her career. However, she also found it to be incredibly distressing as she felt that she was reliving her own personal experiences while acting.
Panettiere is preparing to begin 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.
