Hayden Panettiere And Her On-Again Off-Again Boyfriend Got Into A Messy Brawl At A Los Angeles Hotel Bar

Last year, Hayden Panettiere had many people nervously clenching their jaws when she was seen hanging out with heron-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. That had bad news written all over it, due to the fact that Brian had been recently released from jail, for a violent 2019 attack on Hayden herself (which ended with Hayden obtaining a restraining order against Brian, while sources close to Hayden claimed she was officially done with his abusive ass). But well, Hayden is clearly still hanging out with Brian, and Brian is clearly still a ball of violent rage. Because Hayden and Brian were seen getting into a brawl with some other bar patrons at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in Hollywood last night.

Sources tell TMZ that while Hayden and Brian were at the bar, a fight broke out between them and several other patrons. One of the people involved in this fight claimed that Brian spat on them, which led to the fight, and ended up with everyone getting kicked out of the bar. That should have been the end of it, but then again, that’s assuming we’re dealing with a person who has enough sense not to allegedly spit on a stranger, so of course, things got worse on the outside. Security was able to calm things down for a bit, but the serenity was short-lived, and Tornado Brian was back at it, trying to start things back up with the group he was fighting with inside.

Hayden was by his side, attempting to calm him down, and remind him that he probably shouldn’t be throwing punches at people, on account of his situation with the law. Brian is currently on probation until 2025. At one point, you can hear Hayden say, “Brian, jail.” TMZ got their hands on some video from the fight, and just a warning to those who don’t like seeing people get their asses dragged across pavement, this video is filled with it. It’s pretty violent for everyone involved.

Brian knows his way around a drunken messy brawl. Back in 2018, Brian was arrested in South Carolina after getting into a violent in-home fight with his dad. That also means Hayden has been dealing with Brian’s antics for nearly four years now, which is too many years and way too many bottles of headache medicine to be dealing with such a person.

After the fight cooled down, Hayden could be seen apologizing for the events that transpired, but also got really defensive when someone brought up Brian’s behavior. Both Hayden and Brian returned to the hotel, where she was apologetic to staff. It wasn’t a laughing matter, but I have a feeling at least one person might have been laughing at Brian. During a short break in the violence, Brian, who was being held back, screams, “I’m ready for round fucking two, mother fucker.” But he was doing so while wearing just one shoe. Brian, my friend, you weren’t even ready for a walk around the street.
