The 30-year-old actress and Hickerson reportedly got into a fight on Valentine’s Day at 2:30 in the morning, TMZ reports. Teton County Sheriff’s Office were called to a private residence in Jackson, Wyoming.

When police arrived, Brian allegedly told them that she was “saying he beat the f*** out of me.” Hayden told police that they were in their befroom when “he started throwing her around and punched her.”

Her face allegedly appeared red and swollen and also had a scrape and swelling on one of her hands.

Brian‘s court case was actually just dismissed recently and he was not charged with domestic violence. He was originally charged with a felony domestic violence after an incident that occurred in the Spring.

When approached by photographers, Hayden defended that the fights were never violent, saying to TMZ, “It would be like getting into a fight with like…yelling at your puppy or something.”

She was asked if things ever got physical, to which she responded, “No, everything was totally okay.”

“My family knows that I’m smart enough to make my own decisions. Thank you for being concerned, but I’m a-okay,” Hayden said, reassuring fans that she’s fine. “There was never a problem. Everything is good.”

Hayden Panettiere‘s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, will not be charged in his domestic violence case.

After the 30-year-old Nashville actress accused her 30-year-old boyfriend of alleged physical abuse, the case was dismissed on Thursday (September 26), according to RadarOnline.

He reportedly showed up to a Los Angeles courthouse and appeared “anxious.” The prosecutor then announced the case was “dismissed,” reportedly due to the fact that they did not have witnesses. This means she likely refused to provide information about the alleged physical incident. The trial was planned to last about a week.

According to officer reports at the time of his arrest in May, he repeatedly hit Hayden and left bruises on her neck, ears and arms. The restraining order against Brian has also been dropped after the case was dismissed.

Hayden Panettiere seems to be staying close with her boyfriend Brian Hickerson‘s brother after Brian‘s arrest for domestic violence.

The two were seen looking happy, walking and talking together in the city.

That said, a family source tells In Touch Weekly that their relationship is “not romantic.”

“Hayden and Zach are just friends. They have been friends for as long as she’s been dating Brian; Zach and Brian are close. Zach was in NYC for a job interview and he linked up with Hayden who was already in town. They were just goofing off and holding hands as friends. At one point, she was jumping up and down making funny faces, and he was flexing his muscles and laughing. They looked happy together,” the source said.

Brian was arrested for allegedly hitting Hayden during a physical altercation back in May.

“Hayden needs to surround herself with different types of people and get a hand on both her personal and professional life,” the source continued. “It’s hard to imagine things getting any worse, but they could.”

“Her life is in flux with her daughter living away, and she has other issues weighing on her mind,” the source added. They “are begging her to straighten up and move ahead.”

According to prosecutors on Brian‘s case, he “willfully inflicted corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon Hayden Panettiere.”

“Right off the bat, I noticed that she had bruising on her eyelids, a swollen face. She did have marks on her neck, the left side.
