Hayden Neighbor Claims Star Was Taken Out on Gurney With ‘Bruises’
A former neighbor says she saw disturbing signs long before Hayden Panettiere’s death.
Hayden Panettiere‘s neighbor Mia Terrazas claims firefighters removed the actress from her West Hollywood apartment on a gurney twice — in July 2023 and January 2024 — while Panettiere was living with on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson.
Terrazas said Panettiere appeared to have “bright red spots” and “bruises” and looked as though she had been “beaten up,” while Hickerson allegedly remained “glued to” her during both incidents. She also recalled hearing frequent “muffled arguments” and claimed she once heard Panettiere yell at him in an elevator: “Just leave me alone! Just stop!”
Hickerson previously pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or cohabitant and was subject to a five-year protective order involving Panettiere. Terrazas claims she nevertheless continued seeing him at the building and repeatedly contacted authorities.
“She was such a bright light,” the neighbor said through tears. “She deserved so much better.” Now, her memories are adding another painful layer to the questions surrounding Panettiere’s final years.
Natalie Harp Stays by Trump’s Side as Melania Makes Rare Appearance
Melania Trump returned to public view — but Natalie Harp wasn’t going anywhere.
The First Lady joined President Donald Trump at Washington’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Sunday, marking only her 40th public appearance this year after weeks of keeping an unusually low profile.
But Trump’s fiercely loyal aide Natalie Harp was also there, remaining close to the president and even seen chatting and laughing with his son Eric during the IndyCar spectacle.
Harp’s constant presence has fueled growing speculation about her relationship with Trump, chatter reportedly disliked by Melania and recently amplified when Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff took a pointed swipe at the president for traveling with the 35-year-old aide.
The White House has aggressively defended Harp as one of Trump’s hardest-working staffers. Melania may have returned to her husband’s side — but so did Natalie.
Karmelo Anthony’s Secret ‘Shoot the School Up’ Text Revealed
The jury that convicted Karmelo Anthony never saw some of the most explosive evidence in the case.
Prosecutors have revealed that Karmelo Anthony allegedly wrote “imma shoot the school up tmr” in a 2023 message — one of several threatening communications kept away from jurors during his murder trial over the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf.
The evidence was excluded under what prosecutor Bill Wirskye described as a “gentleman’s agreement” with Anthony’s defense. Both sides agreed to avoid historical character evidence and concentrate on what happened beneath the track-meet tent where Metcalf was killed.
That deal cut both ways. Jurors also did not hear allegations that Metcalf had previously been involved in racist graffiti containing the N-word, “KKK,” “Kill all Black people” and “Heil Hitler,” or see other material prosecutors said painted a broader picture of racist attitudes.
Anthony was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years. His new lawyers are now questioning whether the agreements designed to “keep things clean” instead kept too much from the jury.
Karoline Leavitt Marks White House Exit With ‘No More Questions’ Cookies
Karoline Leavitt is leaving the briefing room — and apparently taking the last word with her.
Donald Trump’s outgoing press secretary celebrated her final days in the White House with a farewell party featuring a cake shaped like the famous briefing-room lectern, complete with its own miniature White House seal.
The treats got even more on-brand. Karoline Leavitt showed off custom cookies, including one decorated with the words “no more questions” — her familiar way of bringing sometimes-fiery exchanges with reporters to an end.
Trump announced earlier this month that the 28-year-old would leave at the end of August, calling her “one of my most trusted aides” and praising her as one of the greatest press secretaries in White House history.
Leavitt isn’t leaving MAGA world entirely. She plans to return to Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. — meaning the questions may be over at the podium, but probably not for long.
EXCLUSIVE: Queen Elizabeth’s Childhood Inkpot ‘Temper Tantrum’ Resurfaces
Long before “never complain, never explain,” little Lilibet apparently had another strategy.
A remarkable story about Queen Elizabeth II allegedly dumping an ornamental silver inkpot over her French teacher’s head has resurfaced in Craig Brown’s royal biography Q: A Voyage Around The Queen.
The account originated with former royal nanny Marion Crawford, who recalled discovering the horrified teacher with ink running down her face and “slowly dyeing her golden curls blue” after the future monarch apparently rebelled against a particularly boring lesson.
Crawford said she never learned exactly what provoked the outburst. What makes the episode so striking is how sharply it contrasts with the famously restrained monarch Elizabeth became during her seven decades on the throne.
She spent a lifetime mastering royal composure through political crises, family breakdowns and scandal. Apparently, though, even the Queen once reached the point where enough French was enough.
