Hayden Panettiere's ex Brian Hickerson is facing the mirror after reading her upcoming memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning. He calls the experience brutal yet insists stories like his could reform abusers. The couple's messy history from 2018 to 2022 is back in the spotlight.
Hickerson sat down with TMZ and admitted one dark passage made the cut despite his plea to cut it. He described a drunken night when he allegedly gave Panettiere ten seconds to run before he threw a phone at her. “I did it. I did it,” he told the outlet, adding that no one wants to read such things about themselves.
