Hayden Panettiere's BF Brian Hickerson Seen For First Time Since Bar Fight

Hayden Panettiere's BF Brian Seen For 1st Time Since Bar Brawl Published September 14, 2026 10:00 AM PDT Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend Brian Hickerson was spotted out for the first time since he and his brother Zach got in a heated altercation with some folks at a South Carolina bar. Video and photos of Brian outside his family home in Greenville show him seemingly grabbing some food from the porch Sunday, just days after he and Zach got into a wild fight at the Wild Wings Cafe. As we previously reported, Brian was detained Saturday night after he tossed a chair inside the watering hole ... and video showed the moment chaos erupted. Zach was eventually arrested for disorderly conduct. A spokesperson for the Greenville PD said Zach -- who cops claim was highly intoxicated -- was arrested after allegedly yelling obscenities in public, and was later released from jail. In a video we obtained following the incident, Brian can be seen sitting on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, talking with several officers who ultimately let him go without being charged. As you know, Brian is talking to the DEA as part of the death investigation into Hayden's suspected overdose in South Carolina. Hayden was found dead by Brian and Zach inside a Greenville rental apartment on August 16 ... and now the DEA is leading the investigation into her death, while the Greenville County Medical Examiner performs toxicology tests to determine Hayden's cause and manner of death. Our sources tell us investigators believe Hayden purchased oxycodone from a Los Angeles-based drug dealer and flew to South Carolina with the black market pills. We're told Hayden died after taking one of the pills, which may have been laced with fentanyl.
