In a recent interview, Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the popular TV show 'Nashville', expressed that filming the series had a significant emotional impact on her, describing it as a "very traumatizing" experience. Despite achieving great success in her professional life through the show, Panettiere reveals the challenging nature of the filming process.
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 transparent 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 for her character's storylines, making the filming process particularly challenging for her.
Right from the beginning, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette also starts dating a football player," says Panettiere. "But then they portray her as an alcoholic. And then they have her abandoning her daughter and going to some crazy place in Europe, and it was very clear that they were not being creative. They were simply taking aspects of my life and adding their own twist to it. And just like that, it's done and over with."
According to Panettiere, her time on the show Nashville was immensely fulfilling in terms of her career. However, she also expresses that the experience was emotionally distressing as it felt like she was reliving her personal life through her acting.
Panettiere plans to start a tour in three different cities called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere." The purpose of this tour is to inspire and support individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has.
