• Footage shows Panettiere and her boyfriend were involved in a brawl outside the Sunset Marquis hotel.

Hayden Panettiere is doing "okay" after she and her on-off boyfriend were involved in a physical altercation at a Los Angeles bar on Thursday, according to her representative.

In a statement to Insider, the representative confirmed that Panettiere and Brian Hickerson were at the Sunset Marquis, a luxury hotel in Los Angeles when the incident occurred at the hotel bar.

"While in the restaurant of the Sunset Marquis Brian Hickerson, who happened to be with Hayden, made a comment to an individual who had left the waitress a poor tip," the statement read. "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 statement continued that Panettiere was refused the opportunity to provide a police statement and was escorted back inside.

"She is okay," the statement concluded.

Representatives for Hickerson, and the Sunset Marquis did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

A representative for the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department in West Hollywood told Insider that the authorities received a call at 12:18 a.m. that two to three men were fighting. Officers responded to the scene, but were unable to locate members of either party when they arrived, the representative said, adding that none of the involved parties had contacted authorities yet.

TMZ was first to report the incident by publishing a video of the altercation on Friday. In the video, both Panetierre and Hickerson can be seen arguing with other bar patrons outside the bar before the situation turns physical.

At one point, Panettiere appeared to yell, "Brian, jail!"

It's unclear how long the altercation lasted, but in the video, Panettiere and Hickerson appear to be separated by several other individuals from the fight.

People reported that Panettiere, who shares a daughter with former fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, and Hickerson were romantically linked in 2018. In July 2020, the outlet reported that Hickerson was arrested and charged with felony assault in incidents that involved Panettiere.

"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 told People at the time.

People Hickerson was later sentenced to 45 days in jail following his arrest in April 2021 after pleading no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse, cohabitant, girlfriend, and, or, child's parent.

Panettiere was spotted spending time with Hickerson in July 2021.

In February, Panettiere assured fans that her seven-year-old daughter was safe amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Her daughter was previously living there with Klitschko.
