Hayden Panettiere and her on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson were caught on camera engaging in a head-to-head battle on the streets of Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon. In footage provided by TMZ, the Heroes star was spotted with Hickerson – with whom she reportedly first started dating in 2018 – before appearing to be in conflict with a large group of people. Panettiere was filmed trying to alienate real estate agent Hickerson from the other attendees, while she herself became embroiled in controversy. According to the report, the quarrel started inside the bar of the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood, when an argument broke out between the Nashville star, Hickerson and other guests. While at some point security managed to calm things down, things warmed up once again between Hickerson and the team, with one of them claiming that he spat on them before being kicked out of the bar by the manager. In the video clip, Panettiere was heard shouting, “Brian, jail!”, Which may have been due to the fact that Hickerson is still serving four years of formal probation.

He was sentenced to 45 days in prison in April 2021 in a case of domestic violence, as well as four years of formal probation, 52 courses of domestic violence, $ 500 (8 358) in compensation and a five-year protection order. Last year, he was charged with domestic violence and assault, with Panettiere receiving a restraining order against her ex-partner.
