Hayden Panettiere‘s neighbor in West Hollywood recalls calling 911 at least half a dozen times to report disturbances at the actress’s apartment.
Following the star’s death at age 36 on Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, Mia Terrazzas spoke with Inside Edition on Wednesday about her experience living next to Panettiere and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson. When asked if she noticed any signs of domestic violence, Terrazzas said, “Oh, absolutely.”
“I saw her leaving on a gurney. Brian was right next to her, and I asked her if she was OK, and it looked to me that she had suffered some type of trauma that looked to be battering,” she claimed. “It was clear she was terrified.”
Terrazzas also shared that notices were posted around the property by the Homeowners Association last year, warning residents to call 911 if Hickerson was spotted. However, the signs were removed a week later.
Panettiere, best known for her roles in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise, had detailed physical abuse by Hickerson in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, released earlier this year. He was also sentenced to 45 days in jail in 2021 after pleading no contest to two felony counts of injuring the actress.
