Fox News
Hayden Panettiere addressed her mental and physical health after a controversial video went viral online where critics questioned her slurred speech.
"I would like to take a moment to address the controversy surrounding an interview I recently completed with PEOPLE Magazine," she shared on Instagram Sunday. "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." "I hadn’t slept for two days prior to the shoot due to one of my dogs who was recovering from an emergency surgical procedure." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital.
