Earlier this year, Hayden Panettiere was on a book tour to promote her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, which dove into details about her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction as well as her relationship with her abusive ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson, among other things. Now, following the death of Panettiere, details have emerged about the level of security that surrounded her during this book tour, and the extra steps taken to ensure Hickerson stayed away.
At a book tour stop in May at a Barnes & Noble in Manhattan, the store was reportedly told not to let Brian Hickerson into the event. That’s according to two people with direct knowledge of the tour who spoke to the NYT. Along with that, it was reported that Panettiere had private security with her who were specifically instructed to make sure her ex stayed away.
