The news of Hayden Panettiere’s passing came with a cruel irony to fans, who genuinely believed she was doing better in the last few months.
“I feel like I have a lot more life to live,” she said on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast in May.
Now, the devastating details of her final months are emerging. She “was reliving” all the traumas of her life, including the pressures of early fame, dependence on illicit substances, the breaking apart of her family, being physically harmed by her boyfriend, and giving up custody of her own daughter.
