Hayden Panettiere Father Arrested for Domestic Violence

The father of Hayden Panettiere, Alan Panettiere, was arrested around 3:00 am for domestic violence after he allegedly hit his wife, Linda Panettiere, across the left cheek twice, causing noticeable bruising. The couple had been drinking heavily that evening.

Based on reports when the cops arrived Alan said, "I’m Alan. Yeah, I just got into an argument with my drunk wife." His hair was "clearly" a mess, giving the appearance both had fought each other. Linda was the one who called the cops, and asked for her husband to be arrested when they arrived. According to law enforcement, before Alan allegedly hit Lesley, he said he felt "disrespected." Leslie’s diva behavior provoked Alan to become violent it appears.

The evening before the couple partied at Beso, Eva Longoria’s restaurant, with Hayden and Jansen P., Hayden’s boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia, Jeff Pantukhoff, the head of the Whaleman Foundation, and Clint Eastwood’s son Scott Reeves.

When Hayden and Milo were leaving, Milo who was driving, ran over a paparazzi’s foot. Judging by the scrapes on the side of Hayden’s Porsche Cayenne, it appears the paparazzi were way too close, as usual.

The Panettiere family are starting to look just like the Lohan family before they became a mess.
