Hayden Panettiere Says the Police Set Daddy Up

Hayden Panettiere is speaking out about her father's recent arrest on suspicion of spousal abuse, to clarify that not only is everything peachy keen with her family, but also the police are to blame for her dad seeming like a wife beater.  She tells Extra:

• '[The incident] was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his fifteen minutes of fame.  My family is wonderful -- so very happy. We're all great.'

 
Now I know what you're thinking. Hayden Panettiere is totally in denial.  But the truth is, it's all a matter of perspective.  When there are whales being slaughtered in China, what is an old-fashioned knock around on the rare occasion that daddy gets a little drunk?  Besides, he always makes the best pancakes for breakfast the next morning to make it all better.
