Hayden Panettiere’s mom Lesley Vogel and Brian Hickerson not invited to her memorial
Key Points:
- Hayden Panettiere's private celebration of life will be held on September 19 in Malibu, attended by around 150 close family, friends, and Hollywood figures, but her mother Lesley Vogel and ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson will not be invited.
- Brian Hickerson, who had a history of domestic violence charges and was with Hayden when she was found unresponsive, along with his brother Zach, were excluded from the memorial; neither has been charged in connection with her death.
- Hayden's relationship with Hickerson was tumultuous, involving legal issues and restraining orders, and her mother Lesley Vogel had also been estranged from her in recent months due to concerns over Hayden's relationship with Hickerson.
- Vogel revealed she tried to intervene by staying with Hayden to help her leave Hickerson, but Hayden ultimately chose to remain with him, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.
- The memorial service location in Malibu holds personal significance for Hayden, who loved the ocean and whales, and her father Skip Panettiere is expected to attend.
