Ms. Panettiere candidly described her experiences from childhood to Hollywood and motherhood in a memoir just released in May 2026.

Hollywood failed Hayden Panettiere.

Her memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” details the many ways she says she was targeted by Hollywood predators. She recounts an “important executive at NBC” kissing her on the lips at a party in 2008 while she starred on “Heroes,” and an “Oscar-winning actor and director” cornering her at 19 and exposing himself. She describes boundary after boundary being crossed, contributing to her battle with alcohol and drugs.

Whatever her cause of death is, one thing is certain: Hollywood failed to protect Hayden Panettiere. Hopefully, her death will serve as a reminder to the industry’s powers that be that young girls and women need to be heard, feel safe and be protected from its more sordid characters.
