Brian Hickerson, who previously dated actress Hayden Panettiere, found himself in the middle of a police response at a South Carolina bar. A night out with his brother Zach Hickerson turned chaotic, eventually putting both men in police custody and bringing Hayden's death back into the spotlight.
As reported by TMZ, the incident happened Saturday at Wild Wing Cafe in Greenville. Brian and Zach had reportedly spent several hours drinking together before the situation escalated.
Brian eventually left their table toward the back of the bar and went over to speak with other patrons. Things soon became heated. At one point, he allegedly grabbed a stool and threw it backward.
Video obtained by TMZ shows part of the confrontation. Brian appears to be lifted off the ground by someone during an argument. He was then carried outside while a bartender could be heard shouting, "Let him go!"
Police arrived after receiving a report of an "assault." Officers found Brian and Zach involved in an altercation with other people outside the bar. Brian was placed in handcuffs during the confrontation. While officers had him detained, he said, "GPD leaked it when my girlfriend died," apparently referring to Hayden.

Hayden Panettiere reportedly took a pill believed to have contained oxycodone laced with fentanyl on the day she died.
In a new report from TMZ published on Monday, September 14, law enforcement sources claimed that the pill is what led to the Scream 4 star's death. However, official toxicology results are still pending.
The sources also told the outlet that Panettiere had a "long time drug dealer" in the Los Angeles area who provided the Nashville alum with illegal prescription drugs. She reportedly purchased the pill that allegedly led to her death, as well as other drugs, the morning before she died.
The DEA in Los Angeles is reportedly investigating Panettiere's relationship with her alleged drug dealer and working to determine whether the pill she took can be traced back to him.

Brian Hickerson repeatedly pursued another woman months before Hayden Panettiere died at the South Carolina Airbnb where she had been staying with him. According to messages reviewed by Page Six, the exchanges began less than four weeks after Hickerson and Panettiere were last photographed together, adding another unanswered question about the status of their turbulent relationship before her death.
The now-26-year-old Greenville woman said she met Hickerson at a nightclub on March 28 but was heavily intoxicated and remembered little about the encounter. The next day, Hickerson allegedly contacted her on Instagram. "Great meeting you last night, pretty lady," he wrote. "I owe you a date."

Hayden Panettiere's mother is breaking her silence about the year of no contact that preceded her daughter's death, and the painful phone call that made it unavoidable.
In an interview with Good Morning America that aired on Monday (August 24), Lesley Vogel shared that she severed ties after Panettiere called to announce her return to on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson. The news came after Vogel spent roughly six weeks visiting Los Angeles to help the actress with her health struggles.
"When I got the phone call from her saying, 'I'm going to be with the person I love,' and I just lost it," Vogel said, per People. "I could not believe that she had gone that far back. That he had been successful in reeling her back in with all of the things he had done to her."
For the sake of her own well-being, Vogel says she distanced herself.

Hayden Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson is terrified that her estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, will stop at nothing to finish him following the actress' death, a source tells In Touch.
As In Touch previously reported, Brian, 37, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were both on the scene when paramedics responded to a 911 call involving the Nashville star, 35, in Greenville, South Carolina on Sunday, August 16. Despite attempts to revive her, Panettiere was ******* ounced dead, leaving behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.
"Brian swears up and down that he's been completely honest about what happened the day Hayden died, but make no mistake, he's terrified right now," reveals the source. "The DEA is investigating. It's very serious, and Hayden's mom is clearly on the warpath."
Vogel, 70, told the Daily Mail that she raised questions about Brian's account of Panettiere's final hours to law enforcement, including the idea that he simply found her unresponsive.
"I don't know how you can take a nap near someone who's dying and not realize something's wrong. How do you do that?" Vogel told the outlet. "When the EMTs came, it was for cardiac arrest. People in cardiac arrest aren't just lying still. They make noise."

Brian Hickerson's sister says she understands what kept drawing Hayden Panettiere back to her brother during their years-long, on-and-off relationship.
Ashley Hickerson described Brian as "the most charismatic person" in comments reported by Page Six from a Daily Mail interview. "I get why Hayden was with him," she said. "He could make you laugh no matter what."
Ashley said Brian began using drugs, and that was when his behavior changed. She said he later went to treatment and took responsibility for what he had done.
Panettiere discussed the relationship in May during an interview with Jay Shetty. She said there were times when she believed she had finally gotten away from Brian.

The DEA is reportedly helping out with both investigations.
When Panettiere's mother Lesley Vogel spoke out following her daughter's death, she was critical of her daughter's relationship with Hickerson. "This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson," Vogel said.

According to TMZ, Hickerson's brother Zach found the actress in cardiac arrest in a chair in the living room, while Brian was asleep in a separate bedroom. When paramedics and officers arrived at the residence, life-saving measures were taken, but Panettiere was later ***** ounced dead.

Hayden Panettiere's mother claims Brian Hickerson ***** ed some of the actress's possessions before her death, including a vintage guitar, adding a new allegation to the scrutiny surrounding their turbulent relationship.
Lesley Vogel made the claim in an interview published Sunday by The New York Times. Vogel said Panettiere was "shocked" to discover that more of her belongings were in a storage unit belonging to Hickerson, her on-and-off partner.
Hickerson has not directly responded to the allegation that he ***** ed her property. His attorneys previously said Panettiere's death remained under investigation and that police had found no signs of foul play. When Page Six sought comment on the property allegations, his legal team referred the outlet back to that statement.
Panettiere died August 16 at age 36 after she was found unresponsive in Greenville, South Carolina. An ***** ociated Press report based on Greenville police records placed Hickerson and his brother Zach at the apartment. An autopsy found no signs of trauma, police reported no indication of foul play and her official cause of death remains under investigation.
Vogel told the Times that she became alarmed after learning Hickerson had ***** ed some of her daughter's belongings, including a vintage guitar. She also said Panettiere herself was stunned to discover that some of her possessions were being kept in a storage unit under Hickerson's control. A second person who spoke anonymously to the Times supported the narrower claim that Hickerson had sold some of Panettiere's property.

More details about Hayden Panettiere's relationship with Brian Hickerson continue to emerge days after her death.
According to a new report from Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack published on Monday, August 24, Brian, 37, was pressuring the Scream 4 star to have a child with him.
"Brian wasn't casually talking about someday becoming a father — he was pushing Hayden to have a baby with him," a source told the outlet.
However, Panettiere — who shared daughter Kaya, 11, with her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — "understood exactly what another pregnancy could potentially mean for her emotionally," according to the source.
"She wasn't convinced it was something she wanted to risk," the source continued. "Hayden knew how badly things had gone after Kaya. She had lived through postpartum depression, addiction and the heartbreak of being separated from her daughter. Brian wanted a baby. Hayden understood the possible consequences. That was the tension between them."

Brian Hickerson's second attempt to clear felony domestic violence convictions involving Hayden Panettiere was denied three days before the actress died, after prosecutors challenged representations that he was now sober.
At an Aug. 13 hearing in Los Angeles, the prosecution cited a May interview Hickerson gave about his past relationship with Panettiere and alleged that he appeared to be under the influence of a stimulant. Court records obtained by PEOPLE show prosecutors also pointed to his 2025 encounters with law enforcement while opposing the petition.
Hickerson had asked the court to dismiss two felony convictions for corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant from a domestic violence case in which Panettiere was a victim. Judge Olivia Rosales rejected the request, saying Hickerson had not remained free of new offenses.
The hearing took place three days before Panettiere died at age 36 in Greenville, South Carolina. Her death remains under investigation, and authorities have not established any connection between the allegations raised during Hickerson's court hearing and the circumstances of her death.
The interview cited in court was conducted by TMZ's Charlie Neff in May, ahead of the publication of Panettiere's memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. In the original TMZ interview, Hickerson discussed Panettiere's account of their abusive relationship and acknowledged conduct described in the book, including an incident in which he threatened her with a phone. "I did it. I did it," Hickerson said while discussing that episode.
