Lesley Vogel held nothing back. 😔

Hayden Panettiere’s mother spoke out after the actress’s death and pointed directly at Brian Hickerson, her daughter’s on-and-off partner for years. According to her, the family had been trying for some time to keep him out of Hayden’s life, and it was he who was with her in her final moments.

Vogel’s statement leaves an open wound: years of attempts to protect her daughter that, as she tells it, were not enough. Now her comments reopen uncomfortable questions about that relationship and who was truly close to Hayden in her final days. 💔
