Hayden Panettiere<\/a>, the star of TV\u2019s \u201cNashville\u201d and \u201cHeroes,\u201d wrote in her new book that an Oscar-winning actor once exposed himself to her at a party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In an excerpt of \u201cThis Is Me: A Reckoning<\/a>\u201d reported by People<\/a>, Panettiere, 36, said she was 19 when she went to the party with a friend. Making small talk with a group of men made her uncomfortable, she wrote, so she decided to call it a night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That\u2019s when a \u201cwell-respected … Oscar-winning actor and director\u201d came up to her as she was putting on her coat and pointed down to what he said was gum on his pants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI looked down and recoiled,\u201d Panettiere recalled. \u201cThis well-respected, award-winning actor\u2019s testicles were hanging out from his unzipped fly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The stunt \u201chadn\u2019t hurt me and I was sure it was a drunken joke, but I\u2019d never seen a grown man do something like that,\u201d she wrote, according to People. \u201cI was shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Panettiere also wrote about a sketchy friend who took her to a cabin on a luxury yacht where \u201ca famous thirtysomething British singer-songwriter was lying in a bed,\u201d per Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cHe was shirtless and propped up on a few pillows with his arms positioned behind his head. From the waist down, he was covered by bedsheets, and I could see the outline of his body underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Panettiere says her friend pulled the sheet away and told her, \u201cI want you to get in bed with him. He has a huge dick.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe shock was so great it didn\u2019t even occur to me to say no,\u201d Panettiere wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, Panettiere said, she didn\u2019t let things go any further and made arrangements to leave the yacht.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As for the identities of these famous men, the \u201cI Love You, Beth Cooper\u201d actor wasn\u2019t about to name certain names in her book.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThings happened a long time ago, but it was to protect me and my company from being sued by some very pissed-off famous people,\u201d she explained to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Need help?
