Sharing her journey. In a rare new interview, Hayden Panettiere got candid about her health ups and downs over the years.The Scream VI star, 33, opened up to Women’s Health about everything from her addiction struggles to dealing with postpartum depression in an article published on Monday, March 6. (The interview took place in January, a month before the death of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, on February 19.)Upon moving to Nashville at the age of 22, Hayden said that drinking became her “coping mechanism” to deal with the stress of fame. “I was being told how to be and how to live by so many people,” she shared. “I wanted certain decisions to be my own, and nobody could stop me.
What I put in my body was like an act of defiance.”However, things got worse for the Heroes alum after she gave birth to her and ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko‘s daughter, Kaya, in 2014.
Noting that an old neck injury was causing her “a lot of pain,” she began taking opioids in addition to drinking, all while dealing with postpartum depression.
Around that time, her Nashville character, Juliette Barnes, was also battling postpartum depression on the show.“I should have gone on antidepressants [to cope with the postpartum depression], but you have to find the right one that works for you,” Hayden — who called it quits with Klitschko, 46, after nine years together in 2018 — explained. “They don’t mix well with alcohol, and I wasn’t ready to stop drinking.”It wasn’t until she took a break from the entertainment industry in 2016 that she said she decided to do “a lot of work on myself.” She returned to rehab in 2021 and enrolled in a 12-step program to help with her postpartum depression and addiction, and even underwent trauma therapy.
