Diana Jenkins is shutting down online speculation connecting her to Hayden Panettiere’s recent bombshell interview.
During an interview with Jay Shetty, Hayden opened up about a traumatic experience from her younger years in Hollywood.
The actress alleged that a trusted adult woman in her life brought her onto a yacht before leading her into a room where an older, famous man was waiting for her in bed.
Though Hayden never named anyone involved, internet speculation quickly pointed toward the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star due to Diana’s reputation online and her past ties to the actress.
For the record, Hayden did not accuse or identify Diana during the interview.
Still, Diana’s camp responded forcefully to the rumors in a statement to TMZ.
“Diana has had to deal with false online rumors before, and sadly this is just another example of that. So let me be 100% clear about this: It most certainly is not Diana, and anyone who claims it is her will be sued,” her rep said.
Diana’s team also noted that she has previously taken legal action against individuals who spread similar allegations online, claiming those lawsuits resulted in settlements in her favor.
ICYMI: Hayden’s upcoming memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, dives into the darker realities of growing up in Hollywood.
The actress opens up about her struggles with postpartum depression, addiction, and the devastating loss of her younger brother, alongside the pressures of fame and childhood stardom.
