Hayden Panettiere’s mom and boyfriend Brian Hickerson ‘BANNED’ from her memorial as family feud explodes

HAYDEN Panettiere’s mother and boyfriend have reportedly been banned from her memorial amid a nasty family feud.

Lesley Vogel, Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were left off the list for the tragic actress’ celebration of life in Malibu on Saturday, according to reports.

TMZ reported on Friday that the trio will not be welcomed at the event, where 150 guests are expected to attend.

Hayden’s dad Skip Panettiere will be there, as well as celebrity friends.

As The U.S. Sun reported, Hayden was found dead in a Greenville, South Carolina Airbnb on August 16, where she was staying with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian. She was just 36.

According to the police report, Brian attempted to revive her with Narcan before first responders arrived on the scene.

Despite the EMTs efforts, Hayden – who admittedly suffered from addiction in recent years – was soon declared dead.

Authorities believe she took a black-market oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl, though the official cause of death has not yet been determined.

Hayden was estranged from her mother at the time of her death, and slammed her in her memoir released earlier this year.

Hayden claimed her mother was furious when she severed their professional relationship, wanting to just focus on their personal bond instead.

“You owe me!” Hayden claimed her mother told her.

But Lesley blamed Brian for the estrangement.

 “Although my daughter and I were estranged, it was not for lack of care or love. It was due to the involvement of a toxic individual who I believe led to her death,” she said, pointing fingers at Brian.

“Hayden was a beautiful and talented young woman who unfortunately became involved with the wrong person, and although her family tried to extricate him from her life, we were unable to be successful.”

And Hayden’s loved ones had been weary of Brian’s presence in her life, after the couple first started dating in 2018.

He had been arrested multiple times for assaulting her, and even served jail time for punching and choking her in the past.

Months before her death, Hayden insisted he was out of her life, but recent reports claimed they were secretly still together in her final days.

In addition to her mother and father, Hayden had a brother, Jansen, who tragically died in 2023.

She was also mom to daughter Kaya, 11, who has lived with her dad  Wladimir Klitschko in Ukraine for several years.

Brian Wolfe dead: Servite standout who pitched for Blue Jays was 45

Brian Wolfe, a standout pitcher at Servite who played three seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, has died at age 45, his wife shared Tuesday on Facebook.

“I’m am sorry to write this but after a really really difficult and torturous battle Brian Wolfe passed away early this morning,” Rachell Wolfe wrote.

No other details have been provided.

Wolfe was one of Orange County’s most dominant high school pitchers during the late 1990s. After going 8-0 with an ERA of 0.27 as a sophomore in 1997, he was the Friars’ ace the next two seasons.

Honored both years as a member of The Times’ All-Orange County team, Wolfe went 11-2 with a 1.37 ERA and a county-best 139 strikeouts as a junior and was 12-0 with a 1.30 ERA and nearly 100 strikeouts as a senior.

After committing to Cal State Fullerton in the fall of 1998, Wolfe opted to sign with the Minnesota Twins organization after being drafted in the sixth round (179th overall) the following summer. He spent the next several years working his way up through the minor leagues with the Twins, Milwaukee Brewers and Blue Jays before making his major league debut with Toronto as a relief pitcher in 2007.

Wolfe appeared in 72 games over three seasons with the Blue Jays, compiling a 5-5 record and a 3.81 ERA in 82.2 innings pitched. He became a free agent after the 2009 season and spent the next nine years playing in Japan with Nippon Professional Baseball, playing for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (including the 2013 season as teammates with Shohei Ohtani), Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks (winning the Japan League title in 2014 and 2015) and Saitama Seibu Lions.

Former MLB outfielder Brandon Barnes posted a tribute to Wolfe on Wednesday, calling his fellow Orange County native “one of my best friends and a mentor.”

Hayden Panettiere’s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson ‘pawned off her prized belongings’ in months before her death

HAYDEN Panettiere’s boyfriend Brian Hickerson reportedly pawned the actress’ prized possessions before her sudden death.

Brian was reportedly on the scene with his brother, Zach, who called police after finding Hayden unresponsive in the Greenville, South Carolina Airbnb they shared.

Paramedics were unable to revive the Heroes star, who was in cardiac arrest, and she was pronounced dead.

An investigation is now underway into what exactly caused the 36-year-old’s death, despite nothing at the scene indicating foul play.

However, mourning fans and Hayden’s mother, Lesley Vogel, 70, have since placed blame on Brian for contributing to the Remember the Titans star’s downward spiral with drugs, alcohol, grief, and depression.

Hayden Panettiere ‘hired security to keep Brian away from her’ in last months

More details have also been unveiled, further painting Brian, 37, in a bad light, such as his suspicious behavior in the months before Hayden’s death.

In a sit-down with The New York Times, Lesley claimed Brian pawned several of Hayden’s belongings, including a vintage guitar.

Lesley said she was “alarmed” upon learning what Brian did, and Hayden was “shocked” when she discovered some of the items in his storage unit.

An anonymous source confirmed to the outlet that Brian, who faced money troubles and filed for bankruptcy in 2022, pawned some of Hayden’s personal items.

The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that he had been staying with Hayden in her Los Angeles condo over the past two years.

Hayden’s neighbors were increasingly concerned for the former child star and were reportedly warned last year by the Homeowner’s Association to call 911 if they spotted Brian on the property.

Apparently, Hayden’s inner circle was just as worried and went through great lengths to keep Brian away from her.

The NY Times article also revealed that Hayden reportedly hired a private security team during her book tour this past spring to keep her distance from Brian.

Sources claimed to the outlet that staffers at a Barnes & Noble in New York City, where Hayden stopped on her tour, were instructed not to let Brian into the store while the actress was there.

Hayden also reportedly said that same month that she required “an incredible amount of support and backup in order to make sure that there was no way for [Brian] to find his way back in.”

Police reportedly claimed that Brian wasn’t initially emotional when they first arrived on scene to find her slumped over in a chair on the afternoon of August 16.

Hayden’s mother, Lesley, has repeatedly slammed him to the press and said that he was the reason for her estrangement from her daughter.

Brian spoke out through his attorney, four days after Hayden’s death, in a statement, which read, “Hayden’s death remains under investigation, and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed.

“As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play.

“Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”
