Hayden Panettiere’s “Nashville” mom, Sylvia Jefferies, said the late actress’s “demons” were “too much to bear” before her tragic death.
“This hits deep. I’ve had to take the day to let the idea that Hayden is not with us, wash over me,” Jefferies wrote on Instagram Monday.
“I shoot straight from the hip. At times, Hayden was not easy to be around. I remember calling her a downright tornado. But she was our tornado,” the “Eastbound & Down” alum added.
fouroscars/Instagram“The sun that appears, the light mist that begins, the rain that gets heavier, the swirling of everything around her, and then the gentle tapering rain returns, along with the calm and sun and light in her eyes, and the giggle in her voice.”
Jefferies, 57, said that though Panettiere “had an incredibly bright future ahead of her,” her “inner demons were at times too much to bear.”
“I pause as I reflect on her, looking at photos, remembering scenes, listening to voicemails, and remembering the first time she called me ‘Mama’ while she shared stories of her youth. We seemed far apart, but we were very close in our hearts,” the “Walker Payne” actress penned.
fouroscars/InstagramJefferies said she and the “Heroes” alum “reconnected” after the former read the latter’s new memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” earlier this year and had made plans to see each other.
