One of Nashville’s leading ladies, Hayden Panettiere (Juliette Barnes) has entered rehab in her battle with postpartum depression. The 26-year-old star of the ABC’s Music City soap opera gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Kaya, back in December of 2014, and recently revealed her own struggle on Live with Kelly and Michael.
Hayden also had tweeted back on October 10th that she felt like she was doing better whenrelating: “Feeling like I’m #finally coming back in to my own body!mother #daughter #blessing #wellworthit @bonesthenskin”
A rep for Panettiere said in statement: “Hayden Panettiere is voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment center as she is currently battling postpartum depression. She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time.”
In a case of life imitating art, currently on Nashville, Juliette Barnes is suffering from postpartum depression and acting out in the storyline. On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that “Nashville production is ‘adapting’ following Hayden’s decision to enter rehab. However, it is too soon to tell if production on the ABC country music drama will have to make any further adjustments.”

Hayden Panettiere Reveals Filming ‘Nashville’ was ‘Traumatizing’; Writers Used Her Personal Struggles with Addiction, Postpartum as Storylines
Nashville and former Guiding Light star, Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie, GL) opened up about her final seasons on the ABC country music primetime drama, where the show touched too close to home for the actress who played lead character, Juliette Barnes.
In an interview with The Messenger, Hayden shared that during the run of the show from 2012-2018, she feels that the writers, more often that not, pulled from her real life while crafting Juliette’s storylines.
Hayden said on the years she spent filming the series that it was “also very traumatizing because I felt like I was acting out my own life.”

Previously, the actress had shared that her dependency on alcohol and opioids as a teenager led to her dependency in her adult life. In addition, Nashville told the story of Juliette’s postpartum depression, which also mirrored Panettiere’s experience who went through the same thing when her own daughter was born.
Explaining what went down behind the scenes, Hayden recalled: “Straight from the beginning, it was like, I’m dating a football player, (and then) Juliette dates a football player. And then they turned her into an alcoholic. Then they turned to her leaving her daughter and going to this crazy (place) in Europe, and it was very obvious.”

The actress added, ‘They weren’t doing their homework. They weren’t creating new storylines. They were just looking at my life and going, ‘Oh, let’s just take what she’s going through and put our little spin on it.’ And then, ta-da! It’s done and done.”

Hayden added that she didn’t have time to care of herself and the pain she was going through physically and emotionally, so she tried to watch mindless TV and shows to help her calm down. Panettiere also felt that when she knew she had to go back to the set of Nashville, she did, “anything to keep my mind off of that because I knew that next day I was going to be back at it again. I was like, tear central. I don’t even think on a soap opera that I cried as much (as I did) on Nashville.”
Hayden is set to make three upcoming appearances of her A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere live series in New York on February 23 and Washington D.C. on February 24.
So, do you think the Nashville writers literally stole creative ideas for the character of Juliette Barnes based on Hayden’s personal struggles? It certainly on paper seems so. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Oh dear, read this title and I became mixed up and thought you were referring to the fictional character, Juliet. I am so sorry that she has to go through this and good for her for calling attention to this on Nashville. No wonder she is so compelling as a woman suffering from postpartum depression.
Good for her.
I’M WISHING HER THE BEST, AND WISHING THAT SHE FOLLOWS THE RULES TO BECOME OKAY SOON ENOUGH. LOVE HER AND HOPE THAT ALL GOES WELL FOR HER. GOD BLESS HER AND I’LL KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS. HER BABY GIRL IS A CUTIE, AND PRAY THAT THINKS HELPS HER TO GET WELL SOON FOR HERSELF AND HER BABY GIRL AND THE DADDY TOO. AS ALWAYS , MARY D. PENDRAK.
Dear Hayden, I wish you a speedy recovery. Sending love and light to,you and your beautiful family. Peace, love and One a life to Live.
I really like you and you are a great actress. I wish you all the best in your treatment and recovery.
You are a role model to all mothers going through this.
My prayers and thoughts are with you now.
Take good care.
I didn’t know their was a thing called rehab for post-pardum depression. Wow!!!
It’s a real malady, Lou. It is triggered by falling hormones and exasperated by fatigue. The end result is a chemical imbalance in which the sufferer experiences a depletion of dopamine (which produces a feeling of happiness) causing abject depression.
Postpartum depression is every bit as real and as serious as bipolar disorder.
Of course you cannot tell Tom Cruise and the The Scientologists this. They believe all ailments of the mind can be exercised away….which it can’t.
It must have been extremely difficult for her to play out the scenes we’re watching unfold on TV. She must be very professional to have performed them despite what was going on with her personally. Godspeed to her and her family, and good for her for getting the help she needs to be there for her baby.
I AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING. I HOPE YOU GET THROUGH IT SOON AND FEEL WELL AND WHOLE AGAIN. PRAYING FOR YOU.
