Getty Brian Hickerson is speaking out after the release of ex Hayden Panettiere ‘s memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning . The 36-year-old actress opened up about her life in the book, including her experience while in an on-and-off abusive relationship with Brian over several years. Brian just spoke with TMZ ‘s Charlie Neff about the book, and is now reacting to the stories of trauma and abuse. Brian Hickerson Admitted to Abusing Hayden Panettiere At the beginning of the interview, Brian was asked about the abusive relationship allegations, and about Hayden saying she kept her relationship private from some of her closest friends because she was embarrassed by the toxic cycle. “Man, I mean, I think it speaks for itself…I got arrested for abusing her. And I wouldn’t blame her friends for being pissed off at me. So I don’t really have much to say on that,” he said during the interview. “We’ve been together for eight years, I mean…I had a couple opportunities to apologize for it and reflect on it…you’d have to ask her what she thinks about it, but you know…you never lay hands on a woman. Bottom line,” he added.

I got arrested. Spent the night in jail and um, you know, that’s just what happens when you lay hands on women,” Brian said. He also addressed recent photos of the two together at an airport in March. “Our relationship now is…I think it’s just a mutual respect thing. She’ll always hold a special place in my heart and, you know, I hope the same for her. But um yeah, we’re just good buddies.” Brian Hickerson Says He’s Been Working on Himself “I have been working on myself,” he added, speaking to his AA group and therapy. He also said Hayden ‘s mother is “by far, one of the worst people I’ve ever met in my life…she’s terrible.” Brian was also asked about her ex-husband, Vladimir Klitschko , whom he called “a good dude.” “Every time that they’re on FaceTime, I just kind of leave the room, you know? That’s their time,” he added. He called Hayden ‘s book “incredible,” and said “everyone should read it.” “I already told my family about what what I did. I just want people to know. I mean, like peo
