The 18-year-old actress, rumoured to now be dating co-star Milo Ventimiglia, was attending the star-studded Los Angeles ceremony when she is reported to have lashed out at a writer from American publication Us weekly. The article in Us Weekly that had caused Hayden such anger was reportedly about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti, who she split up with earlier this month.
It read: 'The actress seems to have moved on. When Us asked, 'Where's Stephen?' at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 9th, she furrowed her brow and replied; "I don't know. In California?" Maybe it's because she had time to adjust to the relationship being over.'
Hayden was so incensed by the speculation that she publicly lost her temper at the journalist and had to be restrained by her publicist, who advised; "Not on the red carpet."
