Hayden Panettiere is sharing her side of the story after fans became concerned over an interview she recently gave to People magazine that sparked questions about her mental health and sobriety. “It’s unfathomable that I’m even in this position, but I feel forced to address it in a space where I won’t be criticized for how fast or slow I speak,” the “Nashville” alum wrote via Instagram on Sunday.
