Hayden Panettiere on Healing After Brother's Sudden Death | PEOPLE

[@luxveda8868]

She just looks so incredibly sad and in pain which is completely understandable given her loss. She only lights up when talking about her daughter, you can tell how much she loves her. My heart goes out to her

[@mollysmiles3213]

I know it was very sweet to see how happy she was talking about her daughter.

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

Yeah if this was a bit more convincing acting, it would believable

[@hissingmelodies]

​@PowerRedBullTypology "acting"

[@PopCultureKing2009]

I hope she gets the help she needs and is in therapy and counseling maybe she needs a treatment center go inpatient I hope losing her brother didn’t make her spiral again into her addictions Hayden is the best I love Nashville it’s sad how everything went downhill for her she’s really trying to make a career comeback

[@arn8386]

Thats not sadness or pain. She is not showing any emotions because her face is neutral, its relaxed, no muscle retractions until she talks about her daughter. She is extremely heavily medicated for depression and I dont judge her. I know exactly how she feels. I hope she stop using the meds before she gets addicted to it and cant live witout it because it wont cure the depression, never will. It will only cause problems later in life, family and partner life. Its great that she talk about her rough experiences, thats a huge step to move on. I have always rooted for her, she is an amazing actress, so beautiful and very unique in Hollywood. We need more people like Hayden.

[@remingtongraves]

I know people are disturbed by this interview but this is the reality of loss and grief and attempting to navigate a new life without your loved one in it. It’s hard. I’ve been going thru the same thing the past 5 years. I lost my sister on September 29, 2019 and it hasn’t gotten any easier. I still cry at the very mention of her name. But I know the one thing she’d want me to do is pull thru. And I’m trying my best. This seems like Hayden just took a bit more of a relaxer than she should have. But she’s 100% coherent and articulate. She’s not stumbling over her words or stuttering like an inebriated person would. She was most likely nervous to do the interview and took a bit more of a relaxer than necessary, like I said. She looks fine in the photos with her trainer, etc. My heart goes out to her. She was so very brave to do this. Pull thru, girl.

[@wnn101]

I agree. Considering everything she’s been through I think she looks fantastic. She is not the young woman we knew over 10 years ago. Love, heart ache, loss, divorce, death, pregnancy, separation, addiction, alcohol, and about a hundred things we’ll never know about. She is clear, and articulate and I think she’s doing great. I support her and we all should. I’m sorry about the loss of your sister. She’s lucky to have someone who loves her so much.

[@alley__gator]

Everybody saying they should take this down but this is one of the most honest things I’ve ever seen. Grief is hard, her co-parenting situation has been hard, the way the industry has treated her has been Hard. Seeing her being any level of functional after all of that is incredible. Her smile when she’s exercising or talking about her daughter is So Beautiful! There is life after the storms! Stay strong Hayden! I’m so Proud of You!❤❤❤

Mind your own business!!! There is a law called HIPPA and you may just want to shut up and say nothing if you've got nothing of kindness or caring to contribute!!! Just because you're a junkie don't go around eager to "diagnose" everyone else with that. Sleep deprivation could also explain things along with her shock & emotional blow. My dissertation was on sleep disorder and as it turns out after I read a bit, this lady does struggle with sleep problems. It's really not our business and the interview should be appreciated for the candid, very heart breaking and honest piece that it is!!! It takes courage to open up publicly and expose your vulnerabilities and all you can do is judge and focus on "drugs"!!! Says a whole lot about you.

I went through years where I struggled with PTSD and depression and stayed indoors the entire time. What contributed to her grief/depression and mine are completely different but on an emotional level she's reminding me of the space I was existing in. Please have compassion for her.

I hope she is okay I genuinely do because she's been through so much but she looks like she is heavily medicated.

[@cakerbaker9965]

She is absolutely medicated, and I say that with empathy, not judgement…hoping someone can step in to help her bc her grief was obviously too great to have maintained her sobriety.

[@cqbarnieify]

For people judging the way Hayden is speaking, I want to say that this is what profound grief looks like and sounds like. I lost my little brother, then four years later I lost my only son. My voice normally sounds happily animated, but when I speak seriously about my overwhelming losses, I sound just like she is during this interview. And no, I am not on medication. Grief sucks everything out of you. My heart goes out to her. Please don’t judge.

[@jasonbruce208]

I lost family too. This isn't "just grief" Her eyelids are moving slowly. The slurring. The way she's sitting with her hands not moving at all with her speaking. Glazed over. This is what heavily medicated looks like.

[@mamadub333]

This was very real, raw, and relatable. If she was medicated so what. I love her even more for being this vulnerable and I’m glad she shared a bit of herself with the world.

[@apfelstrudel714]

I don’t see anything out of the ordinary for someone who has suffered a recent loss and is in deep grief.

[@beepbopboop7727]

The speech seems slowly in an uncanny way.

[@melissahouse3488]

I agree! 💯 😥💔😔 I was a reck when my mom died rather young and tragically. Somehow all the druggie's and their innuendo could never respect a person who lost a loved one and see anything as a "sign" of substances/abuse. Sick of hearing about all the focus on it. It's her business and people should just appreciate her honesty in opening up her heart and sharing in her experiences. I took away a lot of positives from seeing this. I could definitely do without all the drug obsessed comments though. Yours was a fresh air!!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🕊️

[@melissahouse3488]

​@@beepbopboop7727You obviously haven't experienced psychological emotional shock, trauma such as a close death because it can do a lot of things to us we aren't in control of. Her whining mumble and groveling was exactly how I sounded and sometimes still do. And I have never done drugs ever and have no interest. But she's sleep deprived in the interview, that can explain things too. That was what my dissertation was about. These aren't educated people because if they were they wouldn't be publicly "diagnosing" her and secondly they wouldn't be judging, third they would know these behaviors can be explained through natural circumstances. Too many drug addicts eager and obsessed in attacking her and too drug minded to realize there are actually other explanations and stop jumping to their own conclusion. Unless they are a doctor they should mind their own business and respect this lady. It's simply not nice and insensitive not to mention sickening!!!

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

@@melissahouse3488 No one is pretending to be a doctor, she’s an ADMITTED drug addict and alcoholic who has used for decades and given many excuses for it throughout the years… because that’s what addicts do. These excuses are just more in decades worth of excuses she’s given. I know you don’t have experience in addiction, but enabling her behavior, like helping her justify her behavior, even if just online (because she’s admitted to reading comments online), is far more damaging to her than people calling her out on her actions. Within your same comment, you condemn people for “judging her”, and also judge people yourself. That’s hypocritical. Lastly, it’s BECAUSE of people calling her out, that her family recently forced her back into rehab, where she can actually get help for her addictions.

My little brother passed a few years ago. He took his own life. As his older brother, there is So much guilt over not being the big brother he deserved. “Protection” is the one thing you’re told you’re supposed to always provide for your younger sibling. Feeling like a failure is what his loss has meant to me, and it’s why I now understand how the loss of a loved one can change who you are and the way you see yourself.

[@shillsdontspookme9208]

She looks and sounds just like I did when I was heavily medicated on psych drugs trying to deal with ptsd and grief. I'm grateful I'm on the other side of all that now and off of all the psych meds. I hope she finds her way.

[@Willow115.34]

She is very hurt. I'm her age and I'm beyond hurt. Honestly, to me it reminds me life is hard and you're allowed to be here and speak even when you're down. Thank you Hayden for sharing, I'll pray for your peace to be restored.

[@unhingedmommy]

I've been where she is. As an addict, a mother, and a widow. The pain associated with loss is real. The urge to numb yourself is the hardest thing to get over. I just didnt want to feel. She simply looks exhausted and drained. And talking about these things has to be so difficult. I'm proud of her. She has been through a lot and with a lot of people watching.

[@Isanyoneevenonhere]

One year is not very long babe. I lost my brother to heroine and it took me 6 years to fully grieve him. The first year is shock. Second year is accepting your new reality. The rest is slowly relearning how to live without them. Everyone grieves at their own pace. You just have to make sure you're feeling it when you're ready to. Don't get addicted to drugs. Your dreams will be your way of seeing him and the drugs can put those dreams on pause. Unfortunately the silver lining is that being high in this video is what will bring more people to see it and many people need to know that they are not alone. This is the reality of grief.

@@samanthacole2920 Addicts don’t willingly seek help, there’s always something or someone that “forced” them into rehab, so no, it doesn’t suck, she’s extremely lucky her family stepped in and forced her into rehab, they and the media outlets that chose to expose her, may have just saved her life.

Or to the point I was harming myself by drinking too much or self medicating in other ways.

It’s unfair because they don’t know the pressures she had since she was a child becoming an actress. I always will be grateful for my interaction with her, because looking back, people don’t understand what she went through all her life. This is long before the birth of her daughter.

[@melissahouse3488]

I don't see anything of what you're describing with Hayden in this video. People can be emotional, touch the arms of chairs, without being high on meds. All the drug innuendo says more about you than it does her. That seems to be a focus for you to the extent you are eager to diagnose others in anything of behaviors. She has sleep disorder which I do too. That can have a devastating effect on how people are. Their moods, emotions, functioning, physical well being, psyche, etc. People take grief in all different ways and this could be all harming her ability to communicate to your liking but I think she sounds typical of a devastated individual who's in pure shock and loss does a number on us!!! I don't think it's our business nor useful to focus on drugs rather than her message. Perhaps you need the help but HIPPA exists for a reason and it's not for us to speculate. Appreciate the interview for what it is! A brave lady exposing herself and being vulnerable to an audience she trusts and clearly thinks highly of us enough to open up!!! ❤️

[@sarazink2237]

Her affect is flat and slow speech from meds but you can tell she’s comfortable to give this interview. I think It’s people’s way of wanting to protect her since they can tell she is different and are pry just worried. Her honesty is definitely admirable.

[@spidrmorales]

gosh i’ve loved this girl since until dawn and it’s heartbreaking to have to watch her go through this. no one should ever have to suffer such big losses :(

[@BethanyS-s4j]

Obviously, there's no one at People with a conscience or this interview never would've seen the light of day. We need to pray for her. She's undoubtedly still going through a lot.

[@lynnhubbard844]

she should not have agreed to do this either---who's her PR person?

[@RoxanneLsi]

The hardships of life, the loss of a loved one, addiction, depression. It breaks you. She explains it very well at the beginning, time takes a long time but the scar remains for life. Much courage to this beautiful young woman

[@Clairecnz]

This is heartbreaking, but I don't think shes very well. Such a shame, Hayden you are an incredible talent. I hope you can heal yourself

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

It's never easy to lose someone you love, especially when that someone is family member because in a way you lose a piece of yourself. However there's one thing to remember...no one's ever really gone. As long as we keep them in our mind and our heart, their memory will live forever. Hayden is one of my favourite actresses and I can definitely tell that this loss still hurts...no one should ever have to go through something like this. I hope you get well soon Hayden and just remember...your brother may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten. He will be with you always.

[@makeezashrafnia7975]

She’s a real sweet soul. You can see it so clearly. But I’m sad to see her like this. I know she’ll get past this and she’s clearly medicated, but she’s got her brother on the other side now protecting her. ❤

[@Benleyy]

Some of yall saying shes drunk or taking illegal drugs are insane. This is **not** how a drunk person acts. She is still able to form sentences, recall memories, and get across what she is trying to say. Its far more likely that shes overmedicated, on top of being exhausted. Which makes perfect sense given her career and loss of her brother, fairly recently. I just hope shes taking care of herself and is happy, regardless of what she needs to get by regularly.

[@fionaj3434]

Could still be drunk. I've been able to do all of these things, but still be pissed out of my head

[@KnightSaber88]

You must not have been around addicts. They are called FUNCTIONAL addicts for a reason. In addition, to the fact that she's an actress...We can speculate all we want but she has said that she has struggled with addiction in the past and this isn't her first interview where she has slurred her words and has exhibited this behavior.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

That’s what she wants you to see, hence her lies and excuses for the way she’s acting. But you’re completely wrong, she’s high and she’s currently back in rehab.

[@LouiseMariexx]

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom the use of drugs to numb emotional pain is also a trauma response.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

@@LouiseMariexx Just about anything could be a “trauma response”, particularly to addicts who are always looking for excuses and justifications for their substance abuse… of which Hayden is a pro at this point. Her poor daughter, being taught that drugs and alcohol are more important to her mother than she is & that substance abuse is an acceptable way to deal with one’s problems. Hopefully her father is a better role model for her than Hayden is, otherwise her daughter will end up the same way Hayden is teaching her to be. To lose custody of your child because of your addictions and erratic behavior, and for that not to be a good enough reason to get clean, is despicable.

[@hammondOT]

@@LouiseMariexx Stop making excuses for selfish women.

i love Hayden, but y'all need to stop being naive. it is very clear that she is on something, but she is still articulate and present. it's most likely some sort of anti-depressant/muscle relaxer, but still. if she wasn't in good enough condition, her team, or the crew at People should've known better. don't exploit this poor woman and her struggles/grief. support her, lift her up, and make sure she is getting the help she needs. i wish only but the best for her and her daughter. i hope she continues to set boundaries and only surround herself with trustworthy people.

I cant believe im just remembering that i met Hayden once. I used to work as a ticket agent for Scandinvian Airlines and i had the pleasure to check her in. She was so down to earth and cool. this was back in 2010

[@mybrainismagiccity]

She looks so pretty 😍 however I can see the sadness in her eyes, and her voice. the loss of an immediate family member is incredibly painful, life altering, maybe the deepest heartbreak one can ever experience. Grief stays with you, you kind of experience very low lows.. and even in the happiest of moments, your happiness is kind of capped - you never really feel joy the same way. I hope anyone experiencing a loss, whether you’re on day 1 or 10 years later - know that God is with you, one day you will be reunited with your loved one, the person is kept alive through your memories of them- always talk about them. to pray for them, do something charitable in their name and do things that honours the memory of them. ❤

[@Worlds_to_Explore]

I remember her brother. He was so adorable! I remember a movie he was in as a pre-pubescent where the theme of the movie was a groundhog day scenario. I am so sorry for Hayden's loss of her beloved brother. She seems like such a loving and caring sister. Rest in peace, young Mr. Pannetiere.
