Hayden Panettiere's Boyfriend Arrested After Fight Turns Physical

Hayden Panettiere’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was arrested and taken to jail on May 2, after an argument they were reportedly having turned physical.

Things aren’t looking good for Hayden Panettiere and boyfriend Brian Hickerson‘s relationship. After the Nashville star and her man went out drinking together in Hollywood on May 1, they went back to her place and had an argument that allegedly turned physical, a new report by TMZ claims. And things got so heated that police were called. Law enforcement sources told the news site that cops were called around 2am on Thursday, May 2, and once they arrived at the actress’ place, they noticed “redness and marks on Hayden’s body”. And after interviewing both Hayden and Brian, they determined he had started the fight, so they arrested him.

Brian was reportedly booked for felony domestic violence, and he was released later on Thursday after posting a $50k bond. The LAPD also confirms Brian’s arrest, but wouldn’t disclose wether Hayden was the victim. They told HollywoodLife: “We can confirm that the individual was arrested for a domestic violence charge. 273.5 PC and $50,000 bail. This is from an incident stemming on May 2, 2019 at around 1:30 am. We cannot confirm the victim, that is all confidential information. This happened at the 8400 block of Ridpath Dr.” However, even though they wouldn’t confirm Hayden was involved, we discovered that a 273.5 PC is known as “corporal injury on an intimate partner”.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Brian’s been involved in a domestic violence situation. TMZ also notes that Brian allegedly got into a physical altercation with his dad, David, in October. According to the police report, which was obtained by TMZ, cops responded to a call for assault and battery.

Hayden and Brian have been dating for a less than a year, but in February, she said that she hoped to marry him. “I’ve lived a big life, I’ve met a lot of people. I learn something new from [Brian] every day, and that’s something that not many people can provide me with,” Hayden told Us Weekly at the time. When asked if she thinks they’ll get married, she responded, “I think so. I hope so.”

Hayden and her ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, broke up in early 2018 after nine years together. They also share a four-year-old daughter, Kaya, who currently lives with her father and grandmother in Ukraine.

HollywoodLife has reached out to Hayden’s rep for comment, but we did not yet get a response.

Her ex-partner, the Ukrainian boxer, was allegedly awarded FULL custody of their small kid by the family court judge. For a mother not to even get shared custody is abnormal and suggests she is in a very unstable place right now.

R3, no one knows for sure. After the birth she checked herself into a clinic for post-partum depression.

R6, the kid is being raised partly in Ukraine. There’s a war still going on there and it’s a very homophobic, traditionalist country. For Panettiere to allow her 4-y.o. kid to be whisked away to such an unstable, powder-keg country is not “respectful” or “responsible” - it’s a complete reckless gamble. Even wealthy Ukrainians (like their ex-Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko) sent her daughter far away to England, because the region is too unstable.

R9, “rich” means you’re a target in Ukraine. I know what I’m taking about, I’m a quarter Ukrainian. Assassinations of local oligarchs and bureaucrats are COMMON PLACE in Ukraine. Hit jobs, racketeering, kidnapping rich people’s kids, luxury cars being blown up...

Sending your kid there from the US is like sending your offspring to Apartheid-torn Africa. That’s how bad some of the violence is there.

As for “homophobia is everywhere” - how clueless are you? Ukraine has twenty times the level of homophobia that the US has.

Panettiere is a moron. All the rich Ukrainians (who can afford to) are sending their kids FAR AWAY from that crisis zone. While stupid, naïve Panettiere is sending her kid INTO a country right next to a war zone, where an international commercial flight was shot down and everyone perished.

Exaggerating, R15? There was a political assassination in Kiev JUST this March. How many assassinations of political figures were there in your area last month?

R14, because Wladimir Klitschko is a stupid jock. He’s a boxer so he thinks he’s bullet-proof. His brother, Vitaly, is the Mayor of Kiev and ex-leader of the Poroshenko political bloc. But now Poroshenko is out (and will possibly be investigated for corruption) and a new oligarch is in power (behind the new President). So who knows what will become of the Klitschko brothers. They no longer have Presidential protection.

You’ve “been” to some touristy areas and suddenly you know everything about the country, R17? Have you “been” to Donetsk and Luhansk, where people are killing each other with bombs? Ignorant blinkered tourists like you are part of the reason why that doomed commercial flight was naïvely & recklessly directed to fly over an active warzone and everyone on board perished. Ironically, the BBC scathingly reported exactly that: that there’s a humanitarian crisis there but everyone abroad pretends not to notice.

Oh, and I’ve been Tehran and Riyadh (SA) and they were “clean and quiet” too. Tourist & transit impressions are superficial.

Btw, Vitaly Klitschko (the brother) mentioned that even though he’s Mayor, he wanted to get back into boxing and “tear off the head” of a British black boxer, Anthony Joshua, who prevailed over his brother, Wladimir.

The Klitschkos are petty thugs. They can’t accept that Wladimir (Panettiere’s ex) was beaten by a better black British boxer 2 years ago.

R24, allegedly because Panettiere checked into a mental clinic for postpartum depression. When you have postnatal depression, some females can’t even hold their kid or look at it - they often reject it. It’s an unpredictable psychological disorder induced by childbirth.

R25 is being wilfully ignorant and obtuse. Read the BBC article about the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

R27, there are “areas” in Palestine which are thought to be “fine” as well. But why the heck would you pack off your only kid (at only 4 years old to boot) to Palestine? Why take the gamble? I repeat: Ukraine has an ongoing military crisis and unrest with fatalities:

Probably because the paternal grandmother was the only family member they could dump the kid on to do the day to day raising of the child.. This is quite shocking in 2019. But lots of starlets did it back on the day.....abandoned their kids to be raised by grandparents in fly over country so they could pursue fame and fortune in Hollywood.

R29 is right. Wladimir Klitschko is in talks to return to the boxing ring and he’s currently preparing for his comeback. It’s unlikely he’s raising the kid. They likely dumped the kid on Grandma, she’s mentioned as the carer.

R30, why are you calling him “Vlad”? His Ukrainian name is Volodymir - there’s no “Vlad” in there. A short version of the name would be smthg like “Volodya” or “Vova”. “Vlad” is short for a completely different name: “Vladislav”.

I'm sure he is aware that it is better for the kid if it grows up in Ukraine than in the US, they also have a good family and they have a good relationship with each other. Their father was a general or other military and raised them to be patriots, he got cancer from Chernobyl and the mother is a widow for a couple of years, so can need her sons around more often; both men are doctors of philosophy. Vitali's wife is also a good mother, and after so many years in the US and Germany it was time to go back home. Political violence especially in modern societies tends to be less problematic than regular one, except total war. They can live very lavishly in Ukraine and the US is a pretty tough police state and it's tough to become successful without having done a good bit of crime. I'm sure he doesn't want the kid to become a spoiled and uneducated American brat.

[quote] They can live very lavishly in Ukraine and the US is a pretty tough police state and it's tough to become successful without having done a good bit of crime.

Pffft, this describes Ukraine far more accurately than the US. Most “successful” Ukrainians are corrupt gov’t bureaucrats and shady oligarchs and racketeering crooks. The high level of corruption is endemic at this point, at all levels. The police are corrupt too - will do anything for a bribe. They dismantled the whole police force some years ago, in a restructuring attempt - still didn’t help stomp out the rampant corruption. Even the outgoing (formerly popular) billionaire President is embroiled in a corruption scandal now. And the new President (a standup comedy actor with zero legislative experience) has ties to another infamous billionaire oligarch crook, Kolomoisky. The former President wanted him arrested. The former PM sat in prison on corruption charges as well. It’s a criminal mess and clusterfuck.

[quote] I'm sure he doesn't want the kid to become a spoiled and uneducated American brat.

Lol, so why did he pick a “spoiled and uneducated American” partner to breed with then? Why didn’t he go breed with a local Ukrainian broad.

[quote] US is a pretty tough police state

Compared to what - Ukraine? Lol. Ukraine has COMPULSORY military conscription for over-18s - Vietnam era style. And anyone who refuses the draft faces jail. A military draft under the penalty of prison is very ‘police state’. But of course most of the rich crooks give bribes to save their spoiled kids from the draft or negotiate to post them to ‘safe locations’. It’s mostly the middle-class kids who get used like cannon fodder.

I’m not anti-Ukraine, triggered snowflake @ R38. I have Ukrainian roots and I’m a realist. I’m sorry if reality offends you.

Most of the “many rich in Ukraine” are in London, R36 - spending stolen taxpayer funds on trinkets for themselves. And the average salary in Ukraine is ca. $300-400 per month. Exactly because of those “many rich” crooks who money-laundered all the taxpayer funds out of the country.

On that Charlie Sheen thread, someone posted an article in which a journalist, who used to be friendly with Sheen said that when he had flipped through the photos on Charlie's phone, among the usual stuff (porn, "goddesses"), he saw a photo shrine to Hayden Panettiere. That makes me think that something went down between them which adds a whole other level of sordidness to her already very sad tale.
