Hayden Panettiere Was Taken From Her Apartment on a Gurney Twice With 'Bruises' While Living With Brian Hickerson, Neighbor Claims

Hayden Panettiere's neighbor claims she saw the late actress being taken from her Los Angeles apartment on a gurney twice while she was living with Brian Hickerson, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Mia Terrazas said Panettiere appeared to have "bright red spots" and "bruises" during the incidents, which happened on July 29, 2023, and January 16, 2024.

Terrazas, who still lives at the West Hollywood apartment complex, told Page Six she witnessed firefighters take Panettiere out of the building both times.

Hickerson was allegedly present during each incident and remained "glued to" Panettiere as she was removed from the apartment.

"It appeared that she had been beaten up. It wasn't apparent to me that it could have been anything else," Terrazas claimed.

The neighbor said Panettiere often looked "battered," while her daughter, Vileena Koneru, said she observed the same.

During the 2023 incident, Terrazas said she approached Panettiere while she was on the gurney and asked if she was OK.

The actress allegedly replied, "Yes."

Terrazas also claimed she frequently heard “muffled arguments” coming from Panettiere's apartment.

"You can tell somebody's arguing just by the tonality," she said. "It was very hostile."

She recalled another alleged confrontation involving Panettiere and Hickerson in an elevator, claiming she heard the actress yell, "Just leave me alone! Just stop!"

Terrazas said she became "terrified" of Hickerson and recalled one occasion when she believed he followed her down the stairs.

"I'm 61. I'm moving really slow down those stairs, and he's just right behind me," she said. "Didn't pass me up or anything. And I thought, 'Is that to intimidate me?'"

Hickerson had previously faced multiple criminal charges stemming from allegations involving Panettiere.

In 2021, he pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or cohabitant after initially pleading not guilty to an eight-count case.

He was sentenced to 45 days in jail, four years of probation, domestic violence classes and restitution.

Panettiere was granted a five-year protective order, which expired in April 2026.

Terrazas claimed she continued seeing Hickerson at the apartment complex during the order and called the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department "quite a few times."

She claimed deputies "removed" him from the property at least once, but she allegedly saw him return the following day.

"I understood their point," Terrazas said. "I just kept calling because I was hoping I would get a different answer."
