Hayden Panettiere’s dad is in hot water after being arrested for allegedly striking Hayden’s mom, Lesley after an argument this week.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Alan and Lesley Panettiere were at a party earlier in the evening. We’re told Alan was upset because Lesley was “hanging” with someone at the shindig and he felt she was “disrespecting” him.

Sources say, according to Lesley’s statement to Sheriffs, the couple went home, began arguing and he struck her in the cheek. We’re told cops took pictures and there are visible marks. (TMZ)

First of all spousal abuse is no joke and neither is Hayden Pannettiere’s ass. No. Joke. Speaking of…wanna here one my dad used to tell me? “What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?” “Nothing, you already told her twice.”

Yeah, my mom didn’t think it was that funny either, but she was always giving too much lip.
