Hayden Panettiere has recently made headlines after causing concern during a recent interview. The 35-year-old actress has been open about her struggles in the past, but this time it was her slurred speech that worried fans. In the interview with People, Hayden opened up about the loss of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, who passed away in February at the age of 28 due to an undiagnosed heart condition.
As she discussed the heartbreaking subject, a clip of the interview quickly went viral, with viewers noticing her soft-spoken words and barely open eyes. This sparked controversy and fears among fans that she may have relapsed, as she had previously revealed her past battle with alcoholism and opioid addiction in 2020.
However, Hayden's representative assured fans that she was sober and that speaking about her brother for the first time was an emotional and exhausting experience for her. But despite the reassurance, the actress felt compelled to address the concerns in a more personal way.
In a lengthy social media post, Hayden explained that she felt "forced" to speak out in a space where she wouldn't be criticized for her speech. She revealed that she had not slept for two days before the interview due to her dog recovering from surgery, and the interview lasted eight hours instead of the planned one hour. She also mentioned that the beginning of the interview, where she was more alert, was not included in the version published by People.
Feeling exhausted and emotional, Hayden's representative stopped the interview early, but the interviewer assured them that the footage would be edited sensitively. Unfortunately, the actress only saw the final version when it was published, without any input or approval. She also reminded fans that everyone grieves differently and that her medication and mental health are private matters between her and her doctor.
Hayden also addressed the toxicity of social media and the harm that can be caused by spreading false information and clickbait headlines. She urged people to be mindful of their words and the impact they can have on someone's mental health.
Despite the difficult circumstances, Hayden is currently promoting her new thriller, "Amber Alert," which will be released on September 27. She first opened up about her addiction struggles in 2020 and sought in-patient treatment to get sober. However, this year, she faced another devastating loss with the unexpected death of her brother. In an interview with People, she expressed that she will never be able to get over his loss, no matter how much time passes.
As the story gained attention, fans and celebrities showed their support for Hayden, praising her for speaking out and standing up for herself. Her strength and vulnerability were admired, with many reminding her that she is a work in progress, just like everyone else.
In the end, Hayden thanked her fans for their support and reminded everyone to be kind and understanding towards one another. She also encouraged people to reach out and share their stories, as she believes that speaking out can bring healing and understanding to others.
