Hayden Panettiere was in a South Carolina apartment called the Judson Mill Lofts in Greenville at the time of her death. The news was confirmed by her rep on August 16, 2026 (ET), and it was revealed that her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was present in the apartment when she died. Now, some new details about Hayden’s boyfriend have surfaced, leaving everyone shocked.
Brian Hickerson was banned from three bars in months before Hayden Panettiere’s death
Hayden Panettiere’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was permanently banned from at least three South Carolina bars in the months before the actress’ death. According to a report by TMZ, a source with direct knowledge revealed that he was barred from Hooters, Twin Peaks, and another Greenville bar within the last two to three months. The report stated that Brian’s bans stemmed from concerns over excessive drinking and intoxication on the properties.
The source revealed that while Brian Hickerson was often nice, kind, and engaging with staff members when he was sober, his drunken self was a stark contrast. They alleged that he could become erratic and irate once intoxicated and would often fail to listen when the staff asked him to leave. The report further suggested that the staff would try to guide him out when they believed he was too drunk, but the real estate agent would refuse to cooperate.
