Hayden Panettiere has returned to Instagram after nearly six months away.
Following reports of Hickerson’s arrest, Panettiere addressed the alleged abuse during their year-and-a-half-long relationship in a statement shared to Twitter.
Last year, Panettiere shared the phone number for a domestic abuse hotline, saying said she hopes to “empower others” after her ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson was arrested and charged with felony assault.
The last post from Panettiere was back in April when she shared some news about the Disney Plus film Secrets of the Whales.
