Hayden Panettiere's recent video interview with People magazine has sparked widespread concern among fans and celebrities, who claim she appeared to be slurring her speech and barely able to keep her eyes open. Critics, including DWTS professional Peta Murgatroyd, have called for the video to be removed, citing it as exploitative and uncomfortable to watch. Panettiere's representatives have denied that she was under the influence, explaining that discussing her brother Jansen's death for the first time was very emotional and that it had been a long, exhausting day. The actress, who has openly battled addiction to alcohol and opioids, wanted to share her journey of grief and finding peace. Fans compared her appearance to that of Anna Nicole Smith, who died of a drug overdose in 2007, further fueling their concerns. The backlash has led to calls for more sensitivity and ethical considerations in publishing such content.
