Panettiere was in Hawaii recently and was expected to do interviews at a particular event. I understand people having the occasional bad day but this goes beyond that.
"/snip Diane Ako, award winning KHNL television weekend news anchor known for her reporting throughout Asia, Hawaii and the US mainland, was on the scene, because she and other local media were told that the celebrities were expected to do fun interviews about being in Hawaii at that event.
Witnesses say Ako tried to get Panettierre’s attention three times just to ask her a simple question, but Panettierre continued to twirl around and pose for pictures and then started to walk off the red carpet without comment. That’s when Ako lightly touched Panettiere’s shoulder and asked, ‘May we talk with you, Hayden?’ US Magazine says the actress jerked her head around and screamed, ‘Don't you ever touch me!’” Then Panettierre actually tweaked Ako’s fingers back in a finger lock, not only touching her, but seemingly trying to hurt Ako. /snip"
There are more details in the article, of course. But that's the gist of it. Eventually Panettierre gave Ako a grudging interview.
While Ako reportedly has not commented on the situation at the request of KHNL, Panettiere is still bad-mouthing Ako. The article concludes that long after this passes the tabloids and the show is off the air, people will remember her behavior. I think that's right, especially for Hawaii.
