During the May 21 interview, Panettiere also discussed postpartum depression, domestic abuse, and the pressure of growing up as a child star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She appeared alongside her publicist and close friend, Kasey Kitchen, whom Panettiere described as someone she trusted to be “brutally, painfully honest” with her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Panettiere told Hall that growing up in the public eye affected her sense of identity at an early age. She said she experienced an identity crisis when she was 12 and understood even then that those pressures could affect her later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The conversation then moved to postpartum depression, which Panettiere experienced after\u00a0giving birth<\/a>\u00a0to her daughter,\u00a0Kaya Evdokia Klitschko<\/a>, on December 9, 2014. She shares Kaya with former heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Panettiere said she struggled at a time when postpartum depression was not widely discussed and when she could not find the support she needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She said that after an earlier rehab stay, she began self-medicating because she could not find a therapist who understood her experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hall and Kitchen also discussed the domestic violence Panettiere endured during a high-profile relationship. Kitchen described how difficult it was to watch Panettiere go through the situation while some people online minimized the abuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hall also referenced the legal consequences Panettiere’s former partner faced after multiple domestic assault charges. The interview then shifted to Panettiere’s 2020 return to rehab and the physical symptoms that pushed her to seek medical care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hall noted that Panettiere returned to rehab in 2020 for an eight-month stay. Panettiere said the decision came after her health had deteriorated enough for her to see the effects herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When I got to the point of looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes had turned yellow,” she said, adding that she no longer recognized her body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
