What do you do if you are this out of work, controlling violent human being who somehow managed to get an actress who used to be A list, under your thumb.

First, you don’t let her escape.

Second, you control every second of her life.

Then, you make sure you have access to her bank accounts and buy yourself whatever you like.

You control her through violence and threats.

Even if she does escape, you have controlled her for so long that you get her to come back and push her deeper into the abyss.

You keep her from trying to quit drugs and alcohol, because then she might leave you.

You also keep her from losing her looks because you know guys who are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to sleep with her.

It is a never ending cycle, but one of these days she may escape, and then you would go down.

I think it will end in a murder/suicide.

Brian Hickerson

Hayden Panettiere

Before the drama with Brian Hickerson, Hayden Panettiere’s love life was already turbulent, particularly due to her struggles with addiction during her relationship with boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko. They met in 2009, got engaged in 2013, and had a daughter, Kaya, in 2014. However, Panettiere’s substance abuse contributed to their split in 2018. Despite the breakup, they remained amicable co-parents, with Kaya living mostly with Klitschko in Ukraine.

Panettiere’s subsequent relationship with Brian Hickerson became toxic, leading to his 2019 arrest for domestic violence, and Klitschko became protective of Kaya, ensuring Hickerson had no contact with her. Panettiere eventually left the abusive relationship and obtained a protective order.

Throughout her struggles, Panettiere continued to support Klitschko, especially when he joined the Ukrainian army in 2022. Though their romantic relationship ended, their bond remained strong, with Panettiere admitting that letting Kaya live with Klitschko was necessary but painful. She later revealed her heartbreak when Kaya asked other women if she could call them “mommy,” highlighting the impact of their separation on her daughter.
