3 stories from Hayden Panettiere's memoir that reveal predatory nature of Hollywood

3. An NBC executive behaved inappropriately at a party with Hayden Panettiere

According to Panettiere’s memoir, an NBC executive unexpectedly kissed her on the lips at a party in 2008. At the time, the actress was dating her “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia, who witnessed the incident and called the executive’s behavior “completely inappropriate.”

Panettiere said the incident led to her breakup with Ventimiglia, as he wanted to confront the television executive over the kiss, but she asked him not to.

“I wasn’t really in love with Milo, but our relationship was something stable in my life, and now he’d pulled the rug out from under me,” the actress remembered about the split. “In my nineteen years, no one had ever broken up with me — especially not after a silly misunderstanding like this (or whatever had happened the other day).”
