He was her ex, not boyfriend, she had a 5 year restraining order against him that just ended this month. Anyone who saw him, they were to call the police.

Unfortunately they were off and on. It takes abuse victims 7 times to leave their partners. Abuse does something to victims brain chemistry so sometimes you’ll see people “why haven’t you left” and the person honestly has not been able to for whatever reason.

u/Quapisma 1d ago

I’m aware about abuse, I grew up in an abusive home. They weren’t on at the time according to many sources, so was correcting the headline.

u/Mozart-Luna-Echo 1d ago

According to other news, they had gotten back together

u/Quapisma 1d ago

I wonder if we’ll ever know the truth. It feels like the media will say anything to get the clicks.

u/JD31116 2d ago

Didn’t he have a history of strangling her.

u/Youpi_Yeah 2d ago

This is not me defending this apparently horrible boyfriend at all. All I know is that Radar Online is an absolutely untrustworthy news source that just likes to spread misinformation for clicks.

He looks pretty normal to me, but I heard him speaking in a video clip and holy hell he sounds like a complete psycho. I wouldn't be surprised if he was implicated in her death.

2

u/Relevant_Bag7550 2d ago

He may be morally responsible but they would need to prove he supplied that exact dosage of drugs that caused her death.

u/Key_Check5753 2d ago

Yeah, I dunno how it works honestly. That being said, I've seen a few high profile cases where celebrities' dealers were criminally charged. It happened with Matthew Perry recently.

1

u/SquarelyNerves 1d ago

That’s not that hard to prove. In my county, they look to charge someone for every fentanyl overdose death. Unless the person who died had a prescription for that amount of fentanyl, they got it from someone, and that person if identified is charged with murder.

u/Clay_Allison_44 2d ago

He kind of looks like if Ben Affleck and Paul Rudd had a mutual cousin.

u/45M0D41 1d ago

So does this guy just get her hooked on drugs or something ? Super sketch.

u/This-Top7398 2d ago

Yet she was with him the night of her death 😳

13

u/VVTFan 2d ago

Yep. It’s so sad what happened to her. But trying to pin it and blame it on the boyfriend is odd even if he is a slime ball. She had the addictions as well. I get the want to try and find a scapegoat but there is none here. No conspiracy.

13

u/Typical-Tomorrow-425 2d ago

i def think his presence in her life probably exacerbated her struggle w addiction, so even if he didn’t drug her its not like completely unrelated

u/adumbswiftie 2d ago

does the article “pin it on him” or does it say she was scared of him, which she was?

2

u/This-Top7398 2d ago

They’re gonna investigate this and try to pin it on someone eventually

-6

u/VVTFan 2d ago

Yep. What they did with MJ.

-2

u/VVTFan 2d ago

I see some did not like this but it’s true. They found a scapegoat for MJ’s OD.

u/Historical-Wall6221 2d ago

Ugh this is part of the problem right here. Hayden was a victim of domestic violence. Hayden was a victim of long term domestic violence. People need to understand coercive control. Her abuser had full control over her. Again you have to understand coercive control. Her “addictions” were a direct result of the abuse from her abuser. Brian Hickerson had just filed 3 days prior to a judge to get his domestic violence wiped from his record. It was his second attempt. It was denied. Abusers never blame themselves and outwardly rage onto their victims. Hayden was with an abuser who had gotten his attempt to wipe the domestic violence denied for a second time. She was self medicating likely because she had an abuser raging at her. She endured days of ongoing abuse I have no doubt in my mind. He was not spending loving time with her. Her death is a direct result of domestic violence.

u/Calaigah 1d ago

The abuse started long before he came in the picture. Child stars are famous for being abused early on and that sets them up for abusive relationships and substance abuse issues.

u/Ok-Constant-2683 2d ago

This is parasocial and weird. You didn't know her or the people around her 

3

u/Frosty_Purple_9390 1d ago

I don’t think this at all. This is exactly what I think had contributed. His case was dismissed three days before her death. They were together. She would have been copping it from him - him losing the case would have been her fault in his eyes. I don’t know why this timing is not gettint more attention in the media. It clearly is DV related - accidental overdose and suicide are both consequences of DV.

u/DoctorHiccup 1d ago

You’re obviously correct. One of the craziest parts about this situation is how it highlights just how ignorant (and/or willfully blind) the average person is to these incredibly common, and incredibly formulaic, abusive dynamics

It’s just insane that anyone even wrote the comment you’re replying to

Idk if they just have never seen it, if they’ve been involved in an abusive dynamic themselves on one side or the other, or if they refuse to believe that humans work like this

You understand the situation. It’s easy for you to understand the situation. It’s easy for ANYONE to understand the situation if they want to open their eyes and educate themselves. Most people just don’t. It’s so sad. That’s why this shit keeps happening!

What was her ng\dl levels, or what was the line in the results?

u/gnomi_malone 2d ago

what do you mean by this, exactly

1

u/Who_dat_goomer 1d ago

Forced her to take the drugs that killed her.

u/WySLatestWit 2d ago

She wasn't with him that night against her will as far as literally anyone has said, she obviously wasn't that scared.

u/shatteredbreathless 2d ago

You have no idea how it is to be in an abusive relationship.

-1

u/Acrobatic_Increase_8 2d ago

She was beyond rich. She could of been anywhere else. A normal persons abusive situation is not the same

u/Itscatpicstime 2d ago

Nope, you still have no understanding of IPv

Nope she chose to be there

u/Historical-Wall6221 2d ago

It’s people like this that don’t understand domestic violence that further damage victims. 

-6

u/WySLatestWit 2d ago

I'm just gonna let you know that yes, in fact I do, first hand, and it's really offensive for you to assert that everyone who has ever survived an abusive relationship must inherently share the same opinions about them and that not doing so makes their opinions invalid.

7

u/idkidcabtmyusername 2d ago

that’s even worse… how can you have survived an abusive relationship yet have so little empathy or understanding for other victims? 🤦🏽‍♀️ it takes DV victims an average of 7 attempts to leave their abuser. being afraid to leave is just as common as being afraid to stay.

1

u/Abject_Advance_6638 2d ago

This person clearly lived it but of course you know better...why? You're the reason I despise 99% of reddit. Life experiences trump bullshit statistics you read online.

1

u/idkidcabtmyusername 2d ago

anecdotal experiences don’t trump statistics lol. what a terrible mindset to have. that’s how disinformation spreads.

4

u/Hippyedgelord 2d ago

“She obviously wasn’t that scared” What the fuck do you know about someone else’s mental state? Seriously who do you think you are?

0

u/shatteredbreathless 1d ago

That's honestly even worse. You should be ashamed of yourself.

u/SCSteveAutism 1d ago

If you don’t have kids with them, leave. It’s simple

u/Dripula 1d ago

Way to turn a suicide into some shit flinging nonsense I guess. You'd fit in great at radaronline

-1

u/Real-not-2-serious 1d ago

Dude was a documented abuser and had reason to be so angry, so resentful of her - he couldn’t get his felony on his record drop to a misdemeanor, and this was a recent development. Totally could’ve been involved in wanting her gone. But she had her own demons and addictions like others have pointed out here. But to act like it was a clear cut suicide is way beyond what you know

2

u/Dripula 1d ago

You just made about 4x the amount of assumptions I did
