In a recent interview, Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the hit show 'Nashville', revealed that filming the series had a profound impact on her and was a highly distressing experience for her. Despite achieving great success with the show, she expressed that it left her feeling traumatized.
Panettiere played the role of Juliette Barnes, a country star, in the TV show Nashville, which aired from 2012 to 2018. The actress 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 real-life experiences for her character's storylines, making the filming process particularly challenging for her.
Right from the start, it felt like I was dating a football player, and then Juliette starts dating a football player too," Panettiere explains. "And then they portray her as an alcoholic. After that, they show her abandoning her daughter and going to some crazy place in Europe, and it was obvious that they weren't being creative. They weren't coming up with new storylines. They were just taking inspiration from my life and adding their own twist to it. And just like that, it's done and over with."
Panettiere expresses that her time on the television show Nashville was fulfilling in terms of her career. However, she also reveals that the experience was deeply distressing for her, as she felt as though she was reliving her own personal life through her acting.
Panettiere is preparing to go on a tour called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere" that will take place in three different cities. Through this tour, she aims to inspire and support those who may be facing similar challenges as she has.
