Hayden Panettiere's Dad Arrested For Domestic Violence
Aug 11, 2008 AT 11:36 am
Hayden Panettiere's father has been arrested for domestic violence against the actor's mother. People magazine has the details:
"There was a domestic argument between the mother and father," Sgt. Scott Wolf of the West Hollywood sheriffs said. "He got upset and struck the mother in the face one or two times on the left cheek which caused some bruising. From what I'm told, he hit her with a closed fist.
"The mother called police shortly before 3 a.m., and Mr. Panettiere was taken into custody," Sgt. Wolf added. "He's been cooperative. Earlier, they were at a party and the husband apparently felt disrespected by his wife."
How unbearable and cowardly!Alan is currently being held on $50,000 bail. Wonder if his daughter will put up the money?

Damn, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Hmnn what to do, what to do!?!?!?
actress's.
Yay! You fixed it -- and to the non-gender-biased version too. Sweet! :-)
I hope her mom is ok. I hate when things like this happen to the family of a celeb and the media won't leave them alone just because someone in the family is in the business. Hopefully people will leave them alone long enough to sort this out.
Uh, what does this have to do with anything? Her parents aren't famous? Why make up or write stories about what goes on in their personal lives? That is sick.
we are all in this together...hope everything works out
Come on, there are some women out there who need a good slap ! Who knows maybe they got in a shouting match and she started to beat on him and he pushed her out of the way. Men have been arrested for such things before. Course he might have been drunk and whomped her. We will never know the full story here now will we. You know the saying, there are 3 sides to every story - his side, her side and the truth lol
Perhaps you could expand upon the circumstances under which "some women out there need a good slap"? Would you take the same attitude if he hit a woman he wasn't in a relationship with because she upset him somehow, or does being a wife/partner justify it because she becomes the guy's "property"? If she steps out of line, give her one so she knows who's boss. The real irony with domestic violence is that many of the victims come to believe that they deserve to be hit. Alcohol is no excuse either. Assault is assault, and violence is not the way to resolve conflict regardless of the relationship between the people involved. Let's hope that you never end up in an abusive relationship, because studies have shown that despite the common stereotype that domestic violence is most prevalent amongst low-income, uneducated groups, in reality it is found in all groups in society, and can happen to any woman. The man's behaviour is the result of his own inability to handle his anger, and the need for control. The problem lies with the person committing the assault, not with the victim. Nobody deserves, or is in need of being "put in their place", through violence.
Ive seen my share of women who have been over the top and a good slap might have changed their attitude on the rest of the world. Hmm coming to mind - Foxy Brown ( threatening every nail tech the world over with violence ), Naomi Campbell and her airplane hijinx ( why should she get to spit on people and not have someone retaliate? ), my friends wife ( who thinks nothing of threatening the father of her kids with not seeing them ever again and throwing anything within reach at his head ). Man or woman doesnt matter to me - sometimes people need to pushed back in line and realize they have to live WITH the rest of society in a calm manner and only similar actions will get thru to them. Im a firm believer in this whole spare the rod thing is the reason kids are so out of control these days. They dont respect anyone because they dont fear anyone. In this particular case you are judging him and labled him as an abuser without knowing the facts - maybe she wanted a fight and he wanted nothing to do with it so she called the cops to get even? Wouldnt be the first time such a thing happened.
First of all, you assume that a person who is abused deserves it because of their own actions. Does it ever occur to you that the abuser may be the one with the problems, ie anger issues, need to control? You quote a number of people behaving badly, and assert that what they need is for people to behave badly back, hence there is acceptable violence, and non-acceptable violence, depending upon who is dishing it out and on which side of the moral fence they stand. All violence is non-acceptable. With regards to kids, respect does not come from fear. Respect is a two-way deal, and the kids you label as out of control often come from impoverished, disadvantaged backgrounds where they feel disenfranchised from mainstream society. Why would you respect something which keeps telling you you're worth less because of your background, or the colour of your skin, etc. Your answer to this one is to use violence against them too. Somehow, I have the feeling that this would increase their feelings of alienation and anti-social behaviour, rather than engendering in them any feelings of respect towards the people trying to "make them behave" through fear of physical violence.
No I am not assuming anything and I never said those who are abused deserve it. Unlike some people ( and no I am not saying you in particular ) I do not paint everyone with the same brush which is why I was saying there are 2 sides to every story. I would figure the majority of abuse is the fault of the attacker BUT there are some times when that isnt the case. So since we are talking all encompassing violence here, if you saw a person being attacked on the street you would turn your eye because to attack the person back is not acceptable. Real life isnt so cut and dried, Im afraid, to use your theory, tho if it was that easy to turn the "bad apples" to Granny Smiths the world would be a much better place. Wow I am laughing that you would try to pull out the "wrong side of the tracks" card. If you think only bad things happen to those who come from impoverished, disadvantaged backgrounds you really do live in a dream world.
wow! you are clueless aren't you?
There are no normal people in hollywood!
so, he feels disrespected and goes and hits her... wow -_- he should stay in jail.
Low. Not even a real man--poor mom, poor Hayden...
No wonder Hayden is looking for a father figure.
I see abusive men as spoiled, insecure little boys and there are a lot of them out there.
