Hayden Panettiere Shares Abuse Hotline After Her Ex Is Arrested & Charged With Assault. NEW YORK, NY – JANUARY 05: Hayden Panettiere discusses “Nashville” with the Build Series at AOL HQ on January 5, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Roy Rochlin/FilmMagic) Actress Hayden Panettiere’s ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson was arrested on 16th July and charged with corporal injury on a spouse/cohabitant. Panettiere had been dating Hickerson since August 2018, after breaking up with her ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she shares a five-year-old daughter. The Nashville actress filed a restraining order against Hickerson on Wednesday, according to People, and he is now being held in jail on a $320,000 (£255,000) bail for an eight-count felony complaint alleging domestic violence and assault against her. In a post on Twitter, Panettiere shared the domestic violence support hotline, stressing that those who have suffered abuse are not alone. She also wrote that she plans to share her story in order to spread awareness and lend visibility to the widespread issue. “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,” Panettiere 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.” Hickerson was reported to have been abusive multiple times during the couple’s relationship.
