Although Hayden hasn’t been on camera for a while, her personal life has been making headlines, especially her recent public fight involving her on-again, off-again relationship with her now-ex Brian Hickerson.

Hayden Panettiere — Hayden’s Public Fight

Hayden and her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson were seen in a physical fight on the evening of March, outside of Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles.

In a video footage obtained by TMZ at the time, 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 Brian, not to fight, because he’s on probation.

Hayden’s rep, in a statement, explained the cause of the fight. That while Hayden and Brian were still inside the restaurant of Sunset Marquis, Brian told one of the people they were in a fight with, something about tipping the waitress poorly. The person he told, together with the people he was with harried and shoved Brian. It took the security pushing them out of the building from creating chaos in the eatery.

Hayden began dating Brian in 2018 after it was rumored she broke up with her then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko whom she shares her 7-year-old daughter Kaya, with.

The incidents that resorted to having Brian in jail began around May 2019 to January 2020. Brian was first arrested in May 2019 on grounds of Domestic violence. The felony complaint at the time said that prosecutors alleged that Brian “willfully inflicted corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition” on Hayden. 

Later that month, Brian pleaded not guilty to, one count of felony domestic violence. Around September 2019, the case was dismissed. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said at the time, “Our office was unable to proceed because we could not secure a material witness.”

On the 14th of February 2020, Brian was once again arrested and charged with domestic battery and interference with a cop, both misdemeanors in Jackson Wyoming. It was alleged that Brian punched Hayden on the right side of her face. Brian pleaded not guilty to the charge in April of 2020. 

That same year, in June, according to the criminal complaint, 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.” 

Brian Hickerson was sentenced in April 2021, to 45 days in jail after pleading no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse/cohabitant/girlfriend/child’s parent. He served his sentence from May 7 through May 20, jail records show.
