Hayden Panettiere accuses Nashville of copying her private life on screen!
“Suddenly they turned her into an alcoholic…”
Six years after the end of the series, the pill is still having trouble passing. Hayden Panettiere reveals today that the filming of Nashville has been “traumatic” for her, in particular because she had the feeling that the authors were extracting her own personal setbacks to fuel the drama of her character, Juliette.
“I’ve never cried so much on a filming“, tell Hayden Panettiere in The Messenger. “It was traumatic because I felt like I was playing my own life on screen”.
The actress played country pop singer Juliette Barnes for six seasons and 124 episodes (between 2012 and 2018) and ensures that the writers drew on her private life to write the series, such as her fight against alcoholism:
“From the start, I was dating a football player, and there, Juliette was dating a football player. And suddenly, they turned her into an alcoholic! Then they transformed her. She left her daughter and is gone to some crazy place in Europe (she was engaged to Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko during the series) and then it was really obvious… The writers weren’t doing their job! They weren’t creating new storylines. They were just watching my life and said, “Oh, let’s just take what Hayden’s going through right now, put our own twist on it… and then, ta-da! It was all good!”
Hayden Panettiere really didn’t appreciate his time Nashville, very hard for her psychologically and physically. She insists : “I didn’t have time to take care of myself and think and experience the pain I was feeling physically and emotionally. All I did at the time was watch stupid TV shows, don’t It doesn’t matter what to not think about this work, about the fact that I had to go back the next day. It was an open wound in my home and I don’t even think that in a soap opera. I think I have more cried during Nashville than in a soap opera!”
