Overview
- Panettiere, in a Us Weekly interview published Wednesday, said for the first time that she is bisexual.
- She explained she delayed sharing it because she faced pressure to appear perfect, feared it would be seen as a fad, and had little privacy due to paparazzi.
- She said she has dated women since she was young but avoided deep relationships because she was not yet open about her sexuality.
- Her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, also recounts postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, domestic abuse, and other trauma.
- The book is due in mid-May, with several outlets citing May 19 and others reporting May 12, underscoring a minor discrepancy in coverage.
