@harukamori.jp: —Judge Denied Him Just 3 Days Before Her D*eath. Just three days before Hayden Panettiere D*ed at 36, her on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson suffered a major setback in court. According to court records reviewed by the Daily Mail, Hickerson had asked a Los Angeles judge to reduce two felony convictions involving Panettiere to misdemeanors and expunge them from his record. Judge Olivia Rosales denied the request on August 13. Panettiere was found D*ad on August 16. Hickerson’s legal history with the actress stretched back years. He was arrested in 2020 over multiple domestic Viol*nce allegations involving incidents between 2019 and 2020. He ultimately pleaded no contest to two felony counts of Inj*ring a partner, while the remaining charges were dropped. Hickerson received jail time, four years of probation, domestic Viol*nce classes, anger-management requirements and a five-year restraining order. After completing probation on August 1, he repeatedly attempted to clear or reduce the convictions. Prosecutors opposed those efforts. Only months earlier, Hickerson publicly acknowledged his past behavior. “I got arrested for Ab*sing her,” he told TMZ in May, adding that a man should never “lay hands on a woman.” He also admitted that Dr*gs and Alc*hol had contributed to what he described as an extremely dark period of his life. Panettiere had detailed the Ab*se in her memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” saying she hoped telling her story could help others in similar relationships. Despite their history, Hickerson said they remained in contact and hoped they might reunite. Authorities later confirmed Panettiere was found unresponsive in Greenville, South Carolina. Although an overdose was initially suspected, her official cause of D*eath had not been determined, and police said there were no preliminary signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances. The timing now adds another haunting detail to the final days of Panettiere’s life: one of the darkest chapters in their relationship had returned to court only days before her D*eath. Do you think the denied petition changes how people will view Brian Hickerson’s relationship with Hayden? #HaydenPanettiere #BrianHickerson #CelebrityNews #HollywoodNews #truecrime
