Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, has been temporarily ordered not to “harass, strike or threaten” his wife, Lesley Vogel, a Beverly Hills judge ruled Tuesday.
Judge H. Chester Horn issued the protective order until Panettiere’s new arraignment date of Dec. 11. If convicted, Panettiere faces up to a year in county jail.
You might remember that he was arrested at the family’s West Hollywood home after he struck Vogel, 52, “one or two times on the cheek causing bruising with a closed fist,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.
The couple had argued after returning from a charity event hosted by their daughter. Another sheriff’s official confirmed that alcohol was involved.
Shortly after he was released on bail, Alan Panettiere told Extra the incident was a “misunderstanding” and that “nothing actually happened.”
And daughter Hayden, 19, downplayed the incident, saying, “It was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.”

Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan “Skip” Panettiere, has been released from jail on $50,000 bail following an arrest for felony domestic violence — and he claims the whole thing is “a misunderstanding.”
Alan told Extra,
 “Nothing actually happened. In fact, Lesley wasn’t even aware that I had been arrested. Hayden found out about the arrest when I called her from jail. We love each other very much and want everyone to know that the matter was completely blown out of proportion.”
Alan was busted at their home for allegedly hitting Lesley on the cheek and leaving a visible mark. It’s been reported that they had quarreled earlier in the evening at an event at Eva Longoria’s restaurant, Beso.
“Nothing actually happened.” Famous last words from an abuser. How could Lesley not know he was arrested, she was there wasn’t she?
What others said:
- Dlisted says, “First of all, AC Slater needs to put on a unitard and go prance around in the corner. Second of all, a misunderstanding? I can picture Lesley telling the cops in the morning, “He didn’t actually hit me. I ran into his hand several times.”
- Pink is the New Blog says, “I suppose we are to assume that things got out of hand and all is forgiven, altho I would have a bit of a hard time sweeping a matter like this under the rug if I were somehow involved.”
- Evil Beet Gossip says, “Oh, man, my hopes and dreams are coming true: it’s looking like this whole good girl act Hayden’s got going on is just because she’s too damn young to have developed a drinking or drug problem. I mean, now we know that she’s got some genetic tendency to get completely wasted and do really dumb shit, so, at this point, we sit patiently and wait for her life to spin wildly out of control. Then we blog about it. Hooray!”
