Hayden Panettiere Talks About Her Dad’s Domestic Violence Arrest
Hayden Panettiere has opened up about her dad’s domestic violence arrest last September.
“I don’t know that I dealt with it any specific way,” the Heroes star tells the July issue of Seventeen magazine. “I mean, it’s hard enough going through it personally within your family, let alone when the entire world knows about it.”
“It put my dad in this light that is so not him. You know your mind goes to: ‘He abuses, he beats his wife.’ For my dad to have that reputation now — which is so not who he is — kills me.”
Her father was arrested last year after he allegedly hit Hayden’s mother leaving a visible bruise on her cheek, later calling the incident a “big misunderstanding.” Police have said alcohol was a factor. I wonder how many times he got away with beating his wife before his daughter became famous.
