Not A One Off

SOLVED!

UPDATED!

[Blind Gossip] This very pretty actress has been around forever and has starred in more than one successful TV series.

She was recently involved in a physical altercation with a man.

Was this a one off?

Not even close!

She has a couple of issues going on. She has depressive episodes and she also has a drinking problem. She parties a lot and gets very mean and aggressive and physical. I’m not saying that any man has the right to hit her back. I’m saying that she is the instigator a lot of the time. When you put her together with a man who also drinks, it’s like putting a match to fireworks.

The drinking has apparently been an issue for years. Although it has not been part of any publicly released court documents, we have heard that it is the reason she does not have custody of her child/ren.

[Optional] Does a man have the right to defend himself if a woman gets physically aggressive with him? What are the limits?

SOLVED!

Actress: Hayden Panettiere

A couple of months ago, your friends at Blind Gossip told you that actress Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville) no longer had custody of her child.

Hayden lost custody of Kaya – her daughter with boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko –  because her drinking made her an unfit parent.

Panettiere’s inability to control her drinking has flared up occasionally in public. It also led her to date a man who also has a drinking problem.

Do you remember that incident last year in Malibu, when she was walking around barefoot and vomiting over railings?

From The National Enquirer:

Hayden Panettiere was spotted wasted and barfing in public after splitting from longtime fiancé Wladimir Klitschko. The “Nashville” vixen chugged two potent Long Island Iced Teas before dinner at a Malibu hot spot, then embarrassed herself in front of new beau Brian Hickerson, sources said. “It’s not the sort of behavior you’d expect in a place like that,” dished a spywitness who saw the petite blonde vomiting over a railing at Gladstones restaurant.

That drinking incident was not a one off.

She and Brian Hickerson continued to date. They got drunk together. Then they would argue. Then it would turn violent. Then he would beat her.

Those beatings were not a one off, either. Eventually, he was caught and arrested.

Now that you have the whole picture of the drinking and the violence, you can understand why Hayden lost custody of her child.

From People:

Hayden Panettiere’s ‘Life is in Flux’ as 4-Year-Old Daughter Lives in Ukraine with Dad
Kaya, 4, has been living in Ukraine with dad Wladimir Klitschko since he and Hayden Panettiere split last August

Hayden Panettiere remains apart from her 4-year-old child as her current boyfriend faces charges of abuse, a source tells PEOPLE.

The Nashville actress, 29, has been living away from her daughter Kaya ever since her breakup with the child’s father, Wladimir Klitschko, last August.

“Her life is in flux with her daughter living away, and she has other issues weighing on her mind,” the source says.

Kaya has apparently been living in Ukraine with Klitschko, 43, since last summer. In February, Panettiere went on vacation and shared a photo of Kaya strapped into a car seat.

“Sweet moments with sleeping babes,” she wrote.

Panettiere’s relationship with her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, has been concerning her family and friends due to his alleged domestic abuse. The source told PEOPLE earlier this week that her loved one’s are “are begging her to straighten up and move ahead” from the aspiring actor, who faces a felony charge in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident.

Hickerson, 30, was arrested on a domestic violence charge on May 2 and released on bail. According to the felony complaint obtained by PEOPLE, prosecutors allege Hickerson “willfully inflicted corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon Hayden P.”

If convicted, Hickerson faces up to four years in prison.

Her daughter is living with Wladimir Klitschko in The Ukraine, with Hayden visiting every few months.

Given the drinking problem and the violence, putting a vulnerable child in Hayden’s care is absolutely untenable.

Amanduh was first with the correct response.

We wish Hayden well in her recovery, and hope that she finds the strength to get herself out of this terrible relationship!

UPDATE!

We told you a year ago that actress Hayden Panettiere was caught up in a cycle of alcohol and domestic violence.

Those choices caused her to lose primary custody of her child.

Unfortunately, there has been yet another incident.

Hayden Panettiere got into a drunk argument with her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson… and he punched her in the face!

Hickerson was arrested.

From ET:

Hayden Panettiere’s Boyfriend Arrested for Allegedly Punching Her in the Face

Hayden Panettiere’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, has been arrested for domestic battery, ET can confirm. 

A spokesman for the Teton County Sheriff’s Office in Wyoming tells ET that Hickerson was arrested for domestic battery on Feb. 14. ET has reached out to attorneys for Panettiere and Hickerson for comment.

Here’s the mug shot of Brian Hickerson following his arrest.

According to TMZ, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a disturbance at a private residence at around 2:30 a.m. on Valentine’s Day and the caller said an intoxicated male was locked out of the home because he punched his girlfriend in the face. According to documents obtained by the outlet, cops allege Hickerson struck Panettiere “with a closed fist on the right side of her face” and that her face was red and swollen, and that she also had a scrape and swelling on her left hand. 

This isn’t the first time Hickerson has been arrested for an incident involving Panettiere. In May, he was booked on suspicion of felony domestic violence and later charged with one felony count of domestic violence, and he pleaded not guilty. TMZ reported at the time that he and Panettiere were out drinking together before they had an argument that allegedly turned physical. A source told the outlet that the cops were called to a residence and “noticed redness and marks on Hayden’s body.”

In May, a judge also issued a protective order that was requested by prosecutors, which stated that Hickerson had to stay 100 yards away from Panettiere. However, in September, Hickerson’s domestic violence case was dismissed after a Los Angeles judge ruled to dismiss the charges as well as the protective order against him. ET learned at the time that the judge’s decision came after prosecutors told the judge that their office wanted the case dismissed.

Why was the case dismissed last year? Because the prosecutor could not secure a “material witness.”

That likely means that Hayden refused to testify against her boyfriend.

Prosecution without a witness is difficult, so the District Attorney chose to drop the case.

Panettiere was first linked to Hickerson in August 2018 after she split from her ex-fiance, boxer Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she shares her 5-year-old daughter, Kaya. Following Hickerson’s first arrest, a source told ET in September that those closest to the actress “never wanted [Hickerson] around her.” The source claimed that the former Nashville star’s inner circle “never wished badly on [Hickerson]” but they “just hope he gets the help he needs so that he can come around to being a better person.”

But by November, Panettiere and Hickerson were photographed together again, and according to multiple reports, had rekindled their relationship.

Everyone around her sees the problem, yet Panettiere seems to be unable to break free of this terrible relationship.

    Hayden Panettiere. The girl definitely has some issues and will hopefully recognize that and get the help she needs.

  6. Bunniest says

    The first one that came to mind was Heather Locklear but isn’t her daughter over 18 now?

  13. angie78 says

    Hayden Panettiere

    Her bf was arrested for domestic assault. I think I read somewhere she lost custody of her daughter.

  15. pawpaw says

    Heather Locklear
    Optional: Assault is assault so I believe a man should be able to defend himself and not be subject to physical violence just like anybody.

  16. amagod121 says

    Is this Heather Locklear? Sounds like her, from what we know.

    Personally, I think not. He should leave ASAP. Not excusing the woman, either. ALL physical assault is wrong.

  24. whatsinthebox says

    I think a man has the right to defend himself if a woman physically assaults him BUT ONLY after attempting to walk away. Why? Because, a man could cause serious physical harm or even death if he hits a woman and could end up going to jail. But if he tries to leave the situation and she persists, he has every right to defend himself.

  25. MissELace says

    Hayden Panettiere.

    Self defense is valid but it is to protect yourself and either get away or make them go away. It has to be within reason. The best option when size or gender become a factor is to try to leave.

  29. NYCBunny says

    No idea on the BI, but YES! Anyone who’s attacked has the right to defend himself, no matter the apparent sex of the attacker. It’s always surprised me that more men haven’t responded when struck by a girl (I can’t say “woman” because that implies a degree of maturity these girls obviously lack), and it’s always, always down to their being raised never to raise their hand to the “gentler” sex.

    That girlie would get my mean left hook if I saw her terrorizing men. They’re some…

  30. kbeveryday says

    Hayden P. The series are Heroes and Nashville,

    A man can defend himself but should not hit back…ever.

  32. charlene2345 says

    Hayden Panettiere. Her boyfriend was just arrested for domestic violence, and her past issues are why her daughter lives with her ex-fiancé.

    I’m actually very sad to hear about this. With such a longtime relationship, she seemed like she might have be the rare child star (aside from maybe Jodie Foster and Ron Howard) that actually grew up to be happy and normal. I hope she gets the help she needs.

  54. gunther85 says

    Don’t know who this is but I disagree wholeheartedly with the assertion that if a woman hits a man, he doesn’t have the right (legally, mind you) to hit her back. There’s no gender differentiation in assault.

  55. jhwalker says

    While I understand many men are physically stronger than many women, it doesn’t follow that women are immune from the consequences of physical assault; i.e., if a woman hits me, she’s likely being hit back.

    I don’t consider this me not being a “gentleman”, I consider it the woman not being a “lady”.

  60. mountaingirl82 says

    Hayden Panatierre. Her BF was arrested and her ex has custody of their daughter

  61. melrose71 says

    Hayden Panettiere. I think if someone keeps coming at you and won’t back down or let you leave the situation, you have the right to defend yourself whether it’s a man or woman. Unfortunately for men, you better get your phone out and record it, though, for proof later. When alcohol is involved, things can escalate quickly only making it worse.

  62. kelno19 says

    Heather Locklear. Drinking, ugh. I think a man should defend himself but not by striking back.

  63. theamusedonlooker says

    Don’t know who the actress is, but of course the man has the right to defend himself. Physical abuse is physical abuse, coming from any gender. Of course, the defense should not become offense, which it generally does with men.

  64. Flanky says

    No idea who she is. Optional: absolutely yes he does have the right to defend himself. If you don’t want to be hit, don’t go around hitting people. Once you take things to a physical level, you are rolling the dice. She’s gonna end up getting her clock cleaned one of these days!

  67. rhiannon14 says

    Hayden Panettiere. Her boyfriend was recently charged with domestic violence. Her ex has custody of their daughter.

  68. ILUVCA4evr says

    Hayden Panitierre

    Yes, but not to hit back. Take evasive action and call 911.

  70. firefly nights says

    Hayden Panettiere

    This is so incredibly sad. I just keep thinking about her poor daughter. I hope Hayden is able to get the help that she needs and I’m glad her daughter has a stable and loving father.

  75. LordKingAmazing says

    Maybe Kelly Rutherford?

    By the way, unpopular opinion time: a woman wants to act like a man and throw her hands on a man, she should be prepared for him to swing back. Kind of tired of the one way thinking, where women are equal sometimes, but delicate flowers other times.

  76. Deadpool says

    Heather Locklear?
    She’s been on a rollercoaster of being a great/active mom one minute, then out of the blue getting arrested for domestic violence and public intoxication. Even if this blind isn’t about her, I hope she gets straight.

  80. Alllie says

    Hayden Panettiere, her daughter lives with ex Wladimir Klitschko in Florida and Europe.

  83. carriebradshaw says

    Kelly Rutherford?

    Optional: men are mostly bigger and stronger, so they are able to disarm and somehow fix a drunk, agressive woman, and call the cops. Otherwise it could backfire on them and they would have real legal troubles bc. they severe injured some drunken idiot.

  84. joannarama says

    Hayden Panettiere

    I think anyone has the right to defend themselves if they are attacked, but it’s all about the force they use. Men are much stronger than women in general so could mostly stop a woman from attacking him without using too much force.

  85. deepsigh says

    Hayden Panettiere. I hope she gets the help that she needs.

    Yes,a man has the right to defend himself,but I would hope he would walk before it went that far.

  87. rosebrook says

    How juicy! Heather Locklear ?? Cant wait to hear what yall think. Juicy Juicy Juicy!!!

  91. Ramblingirl says

    Hayden P.

    Sad situation. I hope she gets help. I have sons and we have taught them to never hit a woman.

    Alcohol ruins lives. I’ve seen it with so many family members. That is why I chose as a teen to never drink. Personal choice and I have never regretted it.

  92. xomollypops14ox says

    Hayden panettiere?

    Optional: a man has as much right to defend himself as a woman does in the same situation. Violence/domestic violence is never ok no matter the sexes of the people involved

  93. Bobeaux says

    The only television actress i know who doesn’t have custody of her kids is Hayden Planitierre? She also talked about bouts of post partum depression

  95. Kellikopter says

    Definitely Hayden. Her bf just looks like a *. That being said, both genders are capable of playing either role (aggressor, victim) in domestic violence. If she put her hands on him, she should be in jail too.

  96. CaintGetEnuff says

    Hayden Panettiere
    Yes, at some point a man has no choice but to defend himself. I watched my own son live with a physically aggressive woman for years. I stepped in and threatened to give her a taste of her own medicine before he had enough and had her arrested. Assaulting him in front of their children didn’t even phase her. Thank goodness he finally divorced the witch and got custody of the kids.
    I’ve always felt if you can throw a punch like a man, you better be able to take one too.

  97. GretaGuesses says

    Hayden Panteire or however it’s spelled.

    Men are physically stronger than women. I think holding or restraining the woman is okay. But hitting…nah, don’t do that!! Best to just exit the situation until things cool down.

  98. craisins86 says

    No. Women are much smaller, shorter and weaker than men. A man hitting a woman is like an adult hitting a child. If a child kicked or hit me I’d defend myself and restrain them, I wouldn’t hit them back.

  99. Elisabet4 says

    Oh I’m sad to hear that this can be Hayden P, she seems so lovely and people that have run into her always says she’s so nice. There even is a blind solved item where it’s only positive things about her. I’ve loved her seen the Bring it movie.

    Optional: Yes of course.

  100. Airforce wifey says

    Hayden…. was the poor girl crazy before pregnancy? Or is this all due to postpartum depression? So sad either way. Get help before it’s too late
