The mother of actress Hayden Panettiere has shared new details about concerns surrounding some of her daughter’s personal belongings, claiming that certain items may have been pawned by Panettiere’s former partner, Brian Hickerson.

According to comments from Lesley Vogel, she discovered that some of Hayden’s possessions had allegedly been taken to a pawn shop before the actress’s death. Among the items mentioned was a vintage guitar that reportedly held sentimental value for Panettiere.

Vogel said the discovery was upsetting and unexpected, particularly because some of the belongings were personal items connected to her daughter’s life and career. She also indicated that Hayden herself was surprised to learn that some of her possessions were being stored by Hickerson.

A source familiar with the situation reportedly confirmed that some of Panettiere’s belongings had been pawned. Hickerson has not publicly addressed the specific claims regarding the items.

A Relationship Marked by Controversy

Panettiere and Hickerson began dating in 2018, but their relationship later became the subject of public attention due to allegations involving domestic violence. Hickerson faced legal issues connected to accusations of abuse, while Panettiere later opened up about difficult experiences from that period in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.

The actress had previously spoken about struggles in her personal life, including challenges related to mental health and the pressures she faced while in the public eye. Her relationship with Hickerson remained a significant part of discussions about her later years.

Family Continues to Seek Answers

Following Hayden Panettiere’s death, renewed attention has focused on the circumstances surrounding her final years and the people closest to her.

Authorities reportedly did not immediately identify signs of criminal activity in connection with her death, while further details surrounding the investigation remained limited. Hickerson, who was reportedly present around the time of the incident, has maintained that he has no further comment beyond previous statements made through his legal representatives.

The latest comments from Panettiere’s mother have brought renewed scrutiny to the challenges the actress experienced before her passing.
