Hayden Panettiere ‘OK’ After Brian Hickerson Brawl!

Actress Hayden Panettiere is “OK” after she and on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson brawled with patrons at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Los Angeles…

CelebnMusic247.com reports that the former “Heroes” alum’s rep told People the duo’s version of Thursday night’s events, in which Hickerson got into a fight after criticizing an unknown individual for tipping poorly.

The rep, trying to play down Panettiere’s relationship with Hickerson, said in a statement:

While in the restaurant of the Sunset Marquis, Brian Hickerson, who happened to be with Hayden, made a comment to an individual about leaving the waitress a poor tip.

That same individual, along with the group he was with, began badgering and shoving Brian, at which point security pushed everyone outside. Brian was attacked by the group, as was Hayden, who in her best effort tried to diffuse the situation.

The rep claimed the former “Nashville” star was “refused the opportunity” to give a statement to police because she was “escorted back inside” the hotel.

The statement concluded:

She is OK.

Video obtained by TMZ showed Panettiere, 32, and Hickerson in fisticuffs with people outside the hotel after the group was kicked out. At one point, the actress was allegedly overheard screaming, “Brian, jail,” seemingly to remind him that he is on probation after being arrested multiple times for acts of domestic violence against her.

According to TMZ, An eyewitness tells us everything started inside at the hotel bar, where some sort of argument started between Hayden, Brian and some other patrons. We’re told one of the people from the other group claimed Brian spit on them, and the manager kicked everyone out … leading to this wild scene on the street.

The rep did not speak to how Hickerson is doing.
