Hayden Panettiere’s Dad Arrested for Kicking Her Mom’s Ass

See? Hollywood gets you every time. Even if you, like Hayden Panettiere, spend your entire career wearing underwear, staying sober and saving whales, your dad’ll turn around and punch your mom in the face a couple times in the middle of the night. Nobody gets to be perfect anymore.

Alan Panettiere, father of Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley Panettiere, when the couple got into an argument after attending a party.

Sgt. Scott Wolf, a spokesman for the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department, told E! News that the 49-year-old Panettiere got into a spat with Lesley, 52, at approximately 3 a.m. and struck her on the left cheek up to two times with a closed fist.

Hayden’s mom called police, who arrived at the home and took her statement.

When investigators noticed redness and bruises on her face consistent with an assault, lan was subsequently taken into custody and booked on felony spousal abuse. He is currently being held on $50,000 bail.

Awww, poor Hayden. I bet she wants to punch her father in the face a couple times now.
