Brian Hickerson’s sister Ashley Hickerson broke her silence after a police report confirmed he and brother Zach Hickerson were with Hayden Panettiere when she died on Aug. 16 at 36. “If I can say one thing about Brian, it’s that he is the most charismatic person and he draws you in,” Ashley told the Daily Mail in an interview published Aug. 24. “I get why Hayden was with him. Brian is just the type of person who can make you laugh no matter what and he can be fun.” A police incident report obtained by E! News Aug. 18 confirmed that Brian—Panettiere’s on and off boyfriend—and Zach were inside the South Carolina apartment complex where the Nashville actress went into cardiac arrest on Aug. 16. Police have confirmed that there are no immediate signs of foul play in the case, and an autopsy completed by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office Aug. 17 stated that no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to Panettiere’s death. Panettiere’s relationship with Brian began in 2018, with them breaking up in 2020 following a domestic violence incident that led to his arrest. The 37-year-old, who pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend, per the District Attorney's Office, was subsequently sentenced to 45 days in jail, according to court records obtained by E! News. “We all have our demons,” Ashley said of her brother’s arrests. “Brian was not raised that way. It wasn’t until he got into drugs that he went south.” Full Story:
