Actress Hayden Panettiere, known for her role in the TV show "Nashville," recently revealed in an interview that the experience of filming the show had a significant emotional impact on her, describing it as "very traumatizing." Despite her professional success on the show, Panettiere's personal experience behind the scenes was challenging.
Panettiere played the role of Juliette Barnes, a country star, in the television series 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 inspiration from her personal experiences for her character's storylines, leading to added complexities and struggles during filming.
Right from the beginning, the situation felt like this: I am dating a football player, and then Juliette starts dating a football player too," Panettiere explains. "But then they portrayed her as an alcoholic. After that, they made her abandon her daughter and go to some crazy place in Europe. It was very obvious that they weren't being original. Instead of coming up with new storylines, they were simply taking inspiration from my own life and putting their own twist on it. And just like that, it's completed and finished."
Panettiere expresses that her time on Nashville was highly beneficial for her career. However, she also shares that the experience was emotionally distressing as she felt like she was reliving her personal life through her character.
Panettiere has planned a tour called "A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere" that will take place in three different cities. She aims to inspire and support individuals who are facing similar challenges as she has experienced.
