Hayden Panettiere's dad arrested for spousal abuse
Hayden Panettiere's dad Alan was arrested earlier this morning for punching her mom Lesley. He's currently being held on $50,000 bail. Lesley's injuries were bad enough that paramedics were called, but she refused to go to the hospital. TMZ says:
Law enforcement tells us Alan allegedly struck wife Lesley at least twice with fist -- a right cross to the left cheek, causing noticeable bruising. We're told both had definitely been drinking.Alan told cops when they arrived, "I'm Alan. Yeah, I just got into an argument with my drunk wife." We're also told Alan "clearly" was under the influence. Among other things, his eyes were extremely bloodshot and his hair was a mess.
Lesley is the one who called the cops and when they came she asked them to arrest her hubby. (Source)
What an asshole. My dad taught me at a young age that under no conditions should I ever hit a woman. Because verbal abuse leaves no marks, you see. There's only so many times you can use the "she tripped and fell into the coffee table" excuse before the local authorities start to catch on. And then how are you supposed to get your point across to your wife that you like your goddamn pasta cooked al dente!
