Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the TV show 'Nashville', recently shared in an interview that despite the show's success, her experience filming it was extremely distressing.
Panettiere, known for her role as Juliette Barnes on the TV show Nashville from 2012 to 2018, has been quite transparent about her battles with alcohol, opioids, and postpartum depression. In a recent interview with the Messenger, she reveals that the show's writers heavily drew inspiration from her personal experiences to shape her character's storylines, making the filming process particularly challenging.
Panettiere expressed that from the start, it felt like her character was dating a football player, and then the same storyline was given to Juliette. Furthermore, her character's struggle with alcoholism and leaving her daughter was also taken from her real-life experiences and exaggerated for the show. It was evident that the writers were not being creative and were simply using her personal life as inspiration for their storylines. In the end, it felt like they were just copying her life and adding their own twist to it without putting in any effort.
According to Panettiere, her time on Nashville was fulfilling in terms of her career, but it was also emotionally distressing because she felt like she was reliving her own experiences through her character.
Panettiere plans to begin a journey across three cities called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere," with the intention of inspiring and supporting individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has experienced.
