Who is Brian Hickerson? Hayden Panettiere and boyfriend get into massive brawl on camera

Hayden Panettiere and her boyfriend Brian Hickerson were recently seen getting into a fight with some patrons at the popular Sunset Strip hotel.

A video from Thursday night outside the Sunset Marquis where Panettiere and Hickerson threw down with a large group of people. Although security was able to control the situation, Brian broke free leading to a rampage.

An eyewitness said that the brawl started inside the hotel bar, where there was an argument between Hayden, Brian, and some other people. Individuals from the other group claimed that Hickerson had spit on them and the manager kicked them out, leading to a fight on the street.

Hayden can be seen trying to pry Brian off the others and it looks like she got kicked in the face while she was down. She is even heard yelling “Brian, jail!”, probably warning him of what might happen if the police show up since he is on probation until 2025.

They got separated at one point and the pair got back inside the hotel, apologizing to the staff, while the other group left. Even though law enforcement received a call about a fight at the hotel, by the time they arrived, everyone had left and no reports were filed.
