In a video footage obtained by TMZ, Hayden and Brian were seen outside the restaurant of Sunset Marquis with a group of people in a heated discussion, which no sooner resorted to flying fists and throwing punches. In the heat of the fight, Hayden was kicked and was heard yelling “Brian, Jail!,” possibly to warn to Brian not to fight, as he’s on probation.
Hayden’s representative, in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, explained the cause of the fight. The fight reportedly began as a result of Brian telling someone something about tipping the waitress poorly while he and Hayden were still inside the restaurant of Sunset Marquis. The person he made the comment to, together with the people he was with, harried and shoved Brian. It took the security pushing them out of the building to keep the fight from creating chaos in the eatery.

That same year, in the month of June, according to the criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE, Brian tried to “prevent and dissuade Hayden Panettiere, a victim and witness of a crime from causing a complaint, indictment, information, probation and parole violating to be sought and prosecuted and assisting in the prosecution thereof.”
