Hayden Panettiere’s sudden death at 36 and the surrounding circumstances have been difficult for fans to process. Now, a latest update has revealed that the actress’ upcoming memorial service will reportedly take place without two of the most significant figures of her personal life. It includes her mother, Lesley Vogel, and her former partner, Brian Hickerson.
Lesley Vogel and Brian Hickerson are reportedly not invited to the memorial
According to a latest update from TMZ, Hayden Panettiere’s family has decided not to invite Lesley Vogel, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, to the actress’ memorial. The celebration of life event is scheduled to take place on the weekend in Malibu.
In fact, the memorial is expected to witness a gathering of around 150 guests. According to reports, the guest list could include Hayden’s father, Skip Panettiere, close friends, and some Hollywood personalities who were a part of her life and career. Some family sources also told the outlet that the participants have been informed that the event would only focus on Hayden’s life and legacy.
Meanwhile, the service will reportedly take place at a church in Malibu because Hayden used to loved oceans and whales. The people close to the late actress believe that the coastal place would be something that she would have appreciated.
Notably, the guest-list decision comes after Hayden’s turbulent relationship with her family and her mother, Lesley Vogel. They were believed to have an estranged bond during the final years of her life. Some insiders suggested that the relationship soured due to Hayden’s on-and-off relationship with Brian Hickerson. Lesley had earlier told the media how she thought he was a bad influence on her and called him out after her death.
In fact, the mother-daughter duo had reportedly stopped communicating after certain disagreements over Brian’s presence in her life. The strained relationship allegedly lasted until her death. Sources also claim that the organizers want the memorial to be a peaceful event that focuses entirely on Hayden’s memorial. Meanwhile, they want to keep away from the mention of the personal conflicts that surfaced in recent weeks.
For those who do not know, Brian Hickerson was present when Hayden was found unresponsive. So, he was reportedly aware of the decision and understands her family’s wishes. Therefore, neither he nor his brother has raised any issues over their exclusion from the service.
