Will Hayden Update: ‘Sons of Guns’ Star Dropped by Gun Company After Child Rape Charge

Things have gone from bad to worse for reality star Will Hayden. Discovery announced in a statement on Wednesday that it was cancelling the show "Sons of Guns" after Hayden, one of the main stars, was re-arrested in connection to a child molestation case.

Now, his gun company Red Jacket Firearms (which was featured on the show), is also distancing itself from Hayden, the Washington Post reports.

"Red Jacket Firearms LLC has initiated and received full legal separation as an entity, from William M. Hayden," a statement on the company's website read. "With heavy hearts, we will be continuing operating and ensure the fulfillment of new customer orders, back orders and to provide support to those affected by these new developments. WE are the Heart and Soul of Red Jacket and will remain steadfast in our commitment to quality and our customers, for years to come."

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 The Discovery star was arrested a second time because his daughter is now backing the claims originally made by her mother.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.
