'I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me.'
"I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me with the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve," Hayden wrote."I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again. I'm grateful for my support system, which helped me find the courage to regain my voice and my life."
The charges include allegedly injuring Hayden in a May 2019 incident, misdemeanor battery, allegedly injuring her again in December 2019 and January 2020, and an incident including assault with a deadly weapon. Brian is pleading not guilty, and his bail is currently set at $320,000. He's due to appear in court at the end of July. Hayden also has filed a protective order against him.
Hayden and Brian dated from August 2018 to February 2020 before calling it quits. Her attorney, Alan Jackson,:"After suffering for years as the victim of psychological, emotional and severe physical abuse, Hayden Panettiere has begun the process of taking back her life." If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or call 800-787-3224 for TTY.
