A firearms company affiliated with reality TV star Will Hayden is distancing itself from him after his arrest on rape charges.
In a statement on its website, Red Jacket Firearms LLC says it has legally separated from Hayden. The Baton Rouge-based company says it will remain in business.
The 44-year-old was first jailed two weeks ago in Louisiana after his ex-girlfriend accused him of sexually assaulting their daughter. Hayden was released after he posted bond but was arrested again on Aug. 26 and charged with child rape.
Hayden’s ex-girlfriend – who he shares a 12-year-old daughter with – reportedly told police that the reality star molested their child. Hayden claims the disgruntled ex is spreading false accusations because they broke up.
He also said his daughter talked to Child Protective Services and was allowed to return home. The young girl lives with Hayden and his new wife. The Discovery star was arrested a second time because his daughter is now backing the claims originally made by her mother.
Reportedly she told authorities that Hayden took her virginity last year and also claims that she was “orally and vaginally raped almost daily,” TMZ wrote.
She said she never reported her father in the past because he allegedly threatened to hurt her.
