Nina Westervelt/Variety Hayden Panettiere appeared on a recent episode of the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast and recounted one of the more shocking revelations from her upcoming book, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” in which the “Nashvhille” and “Heroes” star remembers being lured by friend of hers into a room and told to get in bed with a famous male actor who was naked. Panettiere was 18 years old at the time.
“Even though I felt I could make healthy decisions, safe decisions [at that age], I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me,” Panettiere said. “It wasn’t until I found myself in predicaments that I realized my perspective completely shifted and I realized I was in danger. By the time I realized I was in danger, I was quite literally out to sea.”
