Kyle Tucker’s challenging inaugural season with the Los Angeles Dodgers appears to be weighing heavily on him, both physically and emotionally.
A video clip recently shared on X captured a poignant moment: Tucker sat alone in the Dodgers’ dugout during Monday’s 11-5 triumph over the Colorado Rockies. His demeanor was somber as he rubbed his face and eyes with both hands before lowering his gaze to the ground.
This scene unfolded as Tucker grapples with the relentless pressure of his prolonged slump. The 29-year-old’s distress was palpable, underscoring the struggles that have inexplicably marred what was hoped to be a promising season.
Monday night brought further challenges for Tucker to absorb.
He endured another tough outing, going 0-for-5 and stretching his record-breaking hitless streak to a daunting 25 at-bats. His last chance, a groundout against Rockies position player Troy Johnston, who took the mound in the ninth inning, did little to break his unfortunate streak.
Earlier, Tucker committed another ugly defensive mistake, dropping a routine fly ball in right field after appearing to hesitate before attempting the catch. The sequence added another chapter to a stretch that has seen Tucker’s season reach increasingly alarming depths.
“Catching a baseball at your ankles kind of speaks to where his head is at right now,” manager Dave Roberts said afterward.
That assessment felt particularly striking alongside the dugout video.
Tucker has openly acknowledged his mounting frustration. Before Monday’s game, he admitted he had “tried just about everything” to escape his historic struggles, saying every apparent breakthrough seems to be followed by another setback.
“Every time I feel like I’m turning a corner, I get hit with a roadblock,” Tucker said.
Those roadblocks are piling up.
Tucker is batting around .230 with an OPS below .700 after signing a four-year, $240 million contract in January. His disastrous homestand culminated in an 0-for-19 stretch and boos from Dodgers fans after another defensive miscue.
Things have deteriorated enough that former Dodgers slugger Eric Karros suggested on SportsNet LA that Tucker might benefit from a more dramatic “reset,” even floating the possibility of sending him to Arizona temporarily to work away from the major-league club.
Roberts has instead emphasized support.
“It’s not from lack of effort, or care,” Roberts said. “It’s just kind of right now, I think he’s kind of fighting.”
Monday’s dugout scene appeared to capture exactly that.
What was actually going through Tucker’s mind cannot be known from six seconds of video.
What is increasingly difficult to miss is just how heavily the worst season of his career appears to be weighing on him.
Brian Hickerson, known for his tumultuous relationship with the late Hayden Panettiere, openly discussed his abusive behavior in an unearthed interview conducted just a few months prior to her unexpected death at the age of 36.
Panettiere, who was remembered by fans and loved ones on what would have been her 37th birthday on August 21, passed away after being found ‘unresponsive’ in an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina. Officials pronounced her dead at the scene following a suspected drug overdose.
Prior to her passing, the actress and Hickerson, who previously served time in jail for assaulting her, reportedly traveled from Los Angeles to South Carolina—his home state—just a day before her tragic demise. According to a police report released Tuesday, both Hickerson and his brother were present with Panettiere in a rented Airbnb when she died.
Panettiere leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. Kaya was born during Panettiere’s long-time relationship with the former boxing champion, Wladimir Klitschko, who is 50 years old.
In April 2021, Hickerson received a sentence of 45 days in county jail but served only 13 days after entering a no-contest plea to two felony charges of injuring a spouse or girlfriend.
In a May interview with TMZ, Hickerson spoke about the domestic violence incidents that took place during their relationship – and how he felt seeing Panettiere retell the abuse in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.

Panettiere’s tragic death at 36 over the weekend was announced on Sunday night. She is pictured here at a gala in Hollywood in 2022
He also revealed that there was one particular incident he wanted her to leave out of the book but she ended up keeping it in.
‘There’s a story where I was drunk, right? Hayden was standing across the room and I had a phone in my hand and I said, “Hayden I’ll give you 10 seconds to run as fast as you can before I throw it at you,”‘ he recalled.
In July of 2020, he was arrested again in connection with eight charges of domestic violence. He entered a no-contest plea to a pair of felony counts of injuring a partner in 2021, and the rest of the charges were dropped
‘Who wants to read something about themselves like that, right?’ he asked, before adding with a big smile, ‘I did it. I did it.’
Hickerson added he thought the memoir was ‘incredible’ but added ‘My biggest thing, I wasn’t taught early enough what domestic violence was. If I was at an early enough age, maybe I wouldn’t have done what I did.’
In the wake of her death, the chat with Hickerson resurfaced on social media, with one fan writing, ‘I don’t know if this is the result of alcohol, drugs, mental illness or whatever watching the entire interview is wild.
‘I have never seen anyone speak so casually about abusing their girlfriend. It’s nauseating. I loved Hayden Panettiere in Nashville. One of my favorite shows. May she finally find the peace she could never find in this life.’
The Daily Mail has made repeated requests to Brian Hickerson for comment but has yet to hear back.
Panettiere and Hickerson had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2018 to 2022 that was marred by domestic violence incidents and arrests.
The actress was in the midst of her substance abuse issues when she started dating Hickerson, 37, shortly after she wrapped the sixth and final season of Nashville.
Their relationship soon turned ugly when Hickerson was arrested in May 2019 after an incident with Panettiere. He was charged with domestic violence, and she received a protective order before the charges were dropped.
‘Who wants to read something about themselves like that, right?’ he asked, before adding with a big smile, ‘I did it. I did it

In July of 2020, he was arrested again in connection with eight charges of domestic violence. He entered a no-contest plea to a pair of felony counts of injuring a partner in 2021, and the rest of the charges were dropped.
Hickerson was in jail for 13 days, and Panettiere put out a statement following the arrest saying she hoped she could serve as an example for others in a similar situation.
‘I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me in the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve,’ she said at the time. ‘I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again.’
Panettiere told People that she continues to ‘feel the same way’ about the statement she put out two years ago.
‘None of it is OK,’ she said. ‘But I want to make sure that everybody knows that each person who goes through something like that, they’re on their own journey. No two things are exactly alike.’
Panettiere also spoke with the publication about an incident in which she and Hickerson got into a bar brawl with a group of revelers at a celebrity hotspot in Los Angeles in 2022.
According to TMZ, Hickerson sparked the fight when he spat on a fellow patron at Sunset Marquis, which prompted the manager to throw everyone out of the establishment.
However, a representative for Panettiere told People that Hickerson ‘made a comment to an individual about leaving the waitress a poor tip.’
Panettiere later said she was ‘trying to live in a place of understanding’ in regards to her history with Hickerson and the multiple domestic violence incidents he was charged with during their relationship.
‘I think [Brian] has done his time and was willing to get help. I think about the things I have done in my life that people forgave me for,’ she told People. ‘Making amends is a really important thing that you learn in treatment. And it gives you a lot of inner peace.’
It’s unclear when exactly they split, but Hickerson confirmed that they are ‘just friends’ and ‘absolutely not’ together anymore.
However, in recent years the pair appeared to have repaired their friendship and were spotted travelling together.
After Panettiere recounted their terrifying relationship in memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, Hickerson in May unbelievably said he can still see a future with the star.
When asked by TMZ if he ever thinks about marrying the actress, he responded: ‘Yeah, of course… I hope so – she probably doesn’t think the same way.’
However, Hickerson acknowledged it was not healthy for the pair to resume a romantic relationship, adding: ‘I think that Hayden is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met in my life, and I would be an idiot not to walk away from her and let her flourish in her career.
‘So, we probably wouldn’t be good together.’
Hickerson said the pair’s relationship had now evolved into friendship after they were seen at the airport together in March, but whined: ‘I miss Hayden every day.’
The actress later offered her response to Hickerson’s comments about marriage while talking to TMZ as she arrived to LAX airport.
When asked to offer her reaction, she simply replied with a small laugh, ‘I don’t think that’s going to happen,’ before making her way into the crowded airport.
Hickerson said he’s had a ‘couple of opportunities to apologize’ to his ex, adding, ‘You never lay hands on a woman. Bottom line.’
He also spoke about an incident that took place in 2020 when he was arrested on Valentine’s Day for allegedly punching her. He entered a plea of not guilty at the time.
‘I had a lot to drink, and I got physical with her, and I got arrested, spent the night in jail. That’s just what happens when you lay hands on women,’ he said.
The Heroes star’s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson was in the apartment where she died alongside his brother Zach (seen together)
Nearly a month before her tragic death, Hickerson filed a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court to expunge his criminal record of domestic abuse charges involving the actress.
According to a minute order filed on August 13 and reviewed by the Daily Mail, Judge Olivia Rosales denied Hickerson’s petition, just three days before Panettiere was found dead from what officials described as a ‘suspected overdose.’
In a newly released report from the Greenville Police Department, officers said Hickerson and his brother Zach were at the scene when the Heroes star tragically died.
An officer at the scene said Zach was ‘very emotional’, but said Brian did not show any emotion as EMS declared his partner dead.
Brian Hickerson allegedly then showed police a ‘bag of medication’ that Panettiere had been taking at the time of her death.
The Greenville County Coroner’s Office has said Panettiere’s cause of death remains under investigation, however audio of the 911 call from her apartment showed a dispatcher described it as a ‘cardiac arrest.’
A dispatcher could be heard in the audio saying that Panettiere had suffered a suspected overdose, and sources told TMZ that Narcan – a nasal medication used to treat an opioid overdose – was also found on a mattress at the property.
For generations, Australians have proudly embraced the story of the indomitable “battler.” However, shifting societal attitudes hint that the comforting phrase “she’ll be right” could be fading into history. The program Insight delves into whether the archetype of the Aussie battler still stands strong, or if a prevailing culture of complaint has taken its place. Don’t miss the episode “Wired to Whinge,” airing Tuesday, August 18 at 8:30 PM on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Semi-retired lawyer Walter Bilas insists he doesn’t usually complain, although he admits to having done so on occasion.
“Complaining shouldn’t be looked down upon. In a liberal democracy like Australia, it’s a fundamental right,” he expressed during an Insight interview.
“Laws exist to be upheld, but when they fall short, people naturally complain,” he added.
Having moved from the UK a few years back, Walter feels compelled to actively engage with his Sydney community.
He acted on that sense of duty most acutely a few years, taking issue with what he describes as a “problematic nightclub”.
“When the club shuts down in the early hours — or late at night, rather — you’ve got the antisocial aspects of people slamming car doors, people shouting, people urinating in the street, people leaving bottles, cans, et cetera … “
He said it was taking a toll on himself and his neighbours.
“People wake up to mess in the morning … People can’t sleep — it stresses people out.”
Walter took the neighbourhood’s noise complaints, which included a petition signed by more than 150 residents, to the Inner West Council and Liquor & Gaming NSW.
He said there is an “art” to complaining that required one to be organised and to go to the top authorities about the problem.
Alison Flett never imagined her live music venue would cause such conflict when it first opened in 2021.
She had experience running similar venues and made sure every aspect was up to standard.
“It was DA-approved. My lawyers, my town planners, my advisers said, ‘You’d be mad not to take this place over’,” Alison said.
It was when new government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions — including rules around physical distancing — took effect that she says venues like hers were encouraged to make use of their outdoor spaces.
While this allowed Alison’s venue to continue operating, it also meant locals were more exposed to noise; and in 2023, the complaints ramped up.
Alison said one letter from the council even informed her she was on criminal notice.
“I didn’t really know what the criminal notice was, because as far as I was concerned, I was just running a live music venue — and that scared me as a young entrepreneurial lady.”
The complaints triggered an investigation, which led to Alison having to change the venue’s licence, install a noise limiter, pay fines and hold monthly meetings with the police.
“I was starting on the back foot [having reopened the business during the COVID-19 pandemic] but then lump in legal fees, fines, putting in noise limiters, investing time and money into making sure that the neighbours wouldn’t complain …
“It left me with no money and no choice but to close [in 2024].”
Complaining to get ahead?
As a retail worker at a Sydney optometrist, Lauren Leung has also been on the receiving end of complaints.
“After working in retail for a substantial amount of time, you get to notice a pattern with customers — and they tend to try to take advantage of your customer service.”
She said customers adopted an attitude of, “I really want to get my money’s worth out of this complaint” to get new frames or lenses and “they pick a fight or they often stay in the store for quite a long time”.
Outside of work, Lauren wears the self-proclaimed title of whinger with smells often being a topic of complaint.
“I have a very good sense of smell. One particular major thing I get irritated by is people’s smell on public transport — especially when you’re crammed in like sardines.”
As an engineering student, she said exam times are particularly difficult.
“You can smell people from across the room who’ve been cramming for exams …” she said.
“You’ve really skipped that shower to get that extra 20 minutes of study time.”
But she believes whingeing has its advantages and can be a means of gauging perspective.
“I whinge to see, ‘Oh, are my thoughts and opinions within reason? Does everyone else think about this? Or am I out of line?'”
Why do we whinge?
Psychologist Sue Read, who has a neuroscience background, says there’s a reason we whinge, and why many find connection in doing so.
“We are wired to whinge; we are wired to look for the negative,” Read told Insight.
“We evolved in a time of scarcity; we are social animals. So being able to communicate what was wrong actually did help us survive.”
But Read said that there can be “profound impacts” if we are constantly focusing on the negative — and if we’re complaining without wanting to have an outcome.
“At one level, it keeps us in a heightened state of threat. So we’re flooding our body with adrenaline and cortisol and stress hormones. We feel more defensive. We see more perceived injustices,” she said.
“It makes it harder to access the higher-order prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for things like compassion, empathy, nuance and complexity.”
We’ve ‘gone soft’
Sydney business owner John Megalli prides himself on not whingeing. In fact, he has very little patience for it.
“I don’t put my energy into whinging,” he said.
“Because the more I put my energy into that, the more I don’t grow.”
John built a multi-million-dollar air-conditioning business from the ground up in western Sydney’s Mount Druitt and believes whingeing limits our potential.
“You’re looking in the rear-view mirror when you’ve got a massive screen in front of you — that you can move forward through — but you’re still looking backwards.
“So, you’re not progressing.”
John believes whingeing is culturally common in Australia and we’ve “gone soft”.
He said younger generations complain more due to a sense of entitlement and comparing themselves to others.
“We have it with our apprentices.
“After a year and a half of being an apprentice, they want to be the CFO.”
Competitive suffering
When asked if there is more for us to complain about today, Read said it’s relative and if we look at previous generations, “the things they really struggled with were often real-life survival”.
“The way we live now is like only royalty could live in the past [with the exception of the lowest socioeconomic demographic],” she said.
Although people struggle with different things, the psychologist says we must be careful of “competitive suffering”, the act of comparing or ranking one’s suffering against others.
“This idea that we hold onto now that ‘my pain is worse than anyone’s ever in history’ becomes a problem … like I think 1850s for women [was] probably not a great time [neither was wartime in the 1940s] …
“There is a problem when you think you’re the only one who’s ever experienced it, because that actually isolates us more.”
Read says that constantly focusing on the negative does not make for a better life and that it is important to acknowledge your hardship, have compassion and seek support for it if needed.
‘You have to complain to get things changed’
Walter said that after a year of complaining the community was relieved when Alison closed her venue and their “immediate problems had vanished overnight”.
But the complaint campaign was only a temporary success as there is a new venue operating in the same space.
“We still occasionally hear rowdy behaviour on a Friday or Saturday night; so, the problem is still there,” he said.
Walter still believes in the power of complaining to achieve a “sense of justice” and “fair dinkum” in the community.
“If we don’t whinge, well, there’s pent-up frustration, and we start taking the law into our own hands … and that basically is corrosive …
“You have to complain to get things changed, to get things done, to move the agenda forward effectively.”
Alison says the complaints had more than a financial toll on her.
“My mental health had deteriorated so much that I needed to stop …”
“I don’t run that business anymore, and I’m really not in the music industry and not interested at all in going back. I took it very personally.”
She wrote handwritten apologies to several locals when she closed her business.
Believing this to be a “very noble act of contrition”, Walter contacted her to meet, and the pair had coffee where they shared and understood each other’s perspectives.
“My eyes opened — I actually saw that it would have been pretty upsetting,” Alison said.
Authorities in Philadelphia are on the hunt for a man suspected of assault who donned a doll mask during the attack. The incident has left residents shaken as police intensify their search for the elusive suspect.
Witnesses reported encountering the masked individual on a Wednesday near City Hall, where he allegedly approached a woman with threatening words, asking her if she was “ready to die.” As he pursued other individuals in the area, police informed FOX 29 that the suspect, cloaked in a doll mask, targeted a 40-year-old woman, chasing her while making menacing remarks and concealing his hand behind his back.
In her attempt to escape, the woman succumbed to a fall, sustaining injuries, according to police reports.

Following the series of unsettling events, the masked suspect reportedly fled the scene, making his getaway through a nearby train station.
Philadelphia police described the man as a Black male between 16 and 20 years old, 5’8″ and was wearing a “white baby doll style Halloween mask with black hair, and a black/blue plaid backpack.”
Philadelphia Police Captain Jason Smith said “He was able to accost a good many of people, most of which haven’t come forward yet.”

The man was seen on surveillance cameras running up to several people, and was refused service at a Dunkin Donuts because of his mask. He left the restaurant after showing erratic behavior.

The suspect will likely be charged with felony terroristic threats, harassment, simple assault and reckless endangerment, police said.
For the first time since their romantic ceremony earlier this summer, Callum Turner has shared his excitement about marrying Dua Lipa in what he describes as an “amazing” Italian wedding.
In an interview with Esquire released on Tuesday, the “One Night Only” actor expressed his joy about their wedding day, calling it “the most beautiful day of [his] life.” Turner’s enthusiasm was palpable as he recounted the event.
He remarked on the “pretty surreal” public reaction to their nuptials, highlighting the widespread interest in their special day.
“Just yesterday, we were strolling through the park, and everyone we passed kept saying, ‘Congratulations,'” revealed the “Eternity” star, 36. “It’s quite strange to have something so personal become a topic of public conversation, but it’s also incredibly heartwarming.”
Turner also said starting a family was among his priorities for the next decade. “Obviously, yeah. I’m 36. I’d like to have a family and raise some kids,” he told the outlet.
Turner and the “New Rules” vocalist, 30, tied the knot in May in an intimate ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, England.
At the time, an insider told The US Sun that Turner “was in tears and shaky” as his now-wife walked down the aisle.
Another source told the outlet that the couple’s “low-key” ceremony, attended by “their closest family and friends,” was followed by a “chic and simple” intimate celebration.
In the days following their initial nuptials, Turner and Lipa said “I do” again in a larger ceremony in Palermo, Italy.
The celebration drew a star-studded guest list, including Charli XCX, Mark Ronson and Sir Elton John, who serenaded the newlyweds with his iconic hit “Your Song.”
The pair later jetted off to Taormina in Sicily for their honeymoon at the San Domenico Palace, where they were photographed getting handsy.
In January 2024, a source confirmed to Page Six that Turner and Lipa were dating, adding that the couple were “mad about each other.”
The insider also noted that the “Don’t Start Now” hitmaker supported her then-boyfriend at the premiere of his Apple TV+ limited series “Masters of the Air.”
Lipa confirmed her engagement to Turner in an April 2025 British Vogue interview, saying she was “very excited” about their impending nuptials.
“This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever… it’s a really special feeling,” she told the outlet.
An insider from the White House has refuted the swirling rumors surrounding former President Donald Trump’s dealings with his youthful aide, Natalie Harp, describing the conjecture as ‘creepy.’
After stepping down as Karoline Leavitt’s deputy, Abigail Jackson clarified that Harp’s frequent presence by Trump’s side is simply part of her responsibilities.
For years, Harp has been one of Trump’s most trusted aides, earning the nickname ‘human printer’ due to her habit of carrying stacks of news articles for the former president to peruse.
The dynamics between Trump and Harp, who is 35 years old, have come under fresh examination following a mocking remark from Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff during a Georgia rally on Saturday.
At the rally, Ossoff taunted that Trump is more interested in constructing ballrooms and globetrotting with Natalie on what he suggested is their extravagantly secured jet, supposedly a gift from Qatar’s emir.
Now Jackson is hitting back at the Democratic rising star, who has been tipped for a White House run in 2028.
‘Women shouldn’t have to worry about creeps like Ossoff attacking them because they’re professionally successful,’ Jackson wrote on X.
‘If you’re a female staffer working at a senior level you’re going to be around your boss. A lot. You’re going to travel with them and staff them. That’s the JOB.’

Trump’s relationship with Harp is back in the limelight after he chose to save her over his own cabinet secretaries amid an Iranian assassination threat following the NATO summit in Turkey last month.
Harp was among a handful of aides including Trump’s former caddy Dan Scavino who switched planes with him on the tarmac in Ankara.
Israeli intelligence had warned of an impending Iranian attack on Air Force One.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent were left on the plane with dozens of journalists.
The White House press machinery has swung violently against Harp’s critics in recent days as the headlines have increased.
Trump himself angrily shouted ‘quiet’ at a female CNN reporter after she asked about his relationship Harp in the Oval Office on Monday.
CNN’s Kristen Holmes asked Trump for his response to Ossoff’s speech, to which the president replied that the Democratic senator is a ‘Pee-wee Herman lookalike.’
Holmes attempted to follow up with a question about South Korea before Trump had finished speaking, sending him into a tailspin.

‘Quiet. Quiet. Quiet!’ Trump shouted at Holmes.
‘You’re a loud, boisterous person. You’re fake news,’ Trump added as he repeatedly told Holmes ‘be quiet’ while she battled to get her question across.
Outgoing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared furious and mouthed something to a colleague after Holmes’ question.
The official White House social media account and its proxies rounded on Holmes in highly personal language after she asked about Harp.
‘Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question,’ said the official Rapid Response 47 account. ‘They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling.’
The White House branded Holmes ‘a disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession.’
Holmes is a Senior White House Correspondent at CNN where she has worked for more than 14 years. The Daily Mail has contacted Holmes for comment.
Harp is never far from the President and is trusted with taking dictation on the market-moving posts he makes to his Truth Social account, where he often announces major decisions such as strikes on Iran or tariffs on foreign countries.
She once ran behind his golf cart while he was playing in Scotland to keep him up to date with the latest news headlines.
Harp is Trump’s ‘connective tissue’, sources told the Daily Mail, with some pointing out that she has more access than even his chief of staff Susie Wiles .
Harp famously wrote, ‘You’re all that matters to me,’ in a letter to Trump published by the New York Times in 2024.
Celine Dion has shared an update on her ongoing health battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, following the cancellation of several concerts planned for 2023 and 2024. Known for her hit “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” Dion was diagnosed with this uncommon neurological condition in December 2022. The disorder, affecting roughly 1-2 million individuals globally, leads to increasing muscle spasms and painful stiffness.
Despite these challenges, Celine is gearing up to return to the spotlight, as she revealed to Harper’s Bazaar. Emphasizing the progressive nature of her condition, she stated, “It’s a progressive condition. I don’t like to say ‘disease’.” She expressed her readiness and excitement to hit the road again, acknowledging a mix of anticipation and nerves, “I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously, and of course a little nervous.”
“I’m doing great, managing my health, feeling good. I’m singing again, even doing a little bit of dancing,” she added.
Celine conveyed heartfelt gratitude, saying, “I have to tell you something very important: Over these last few years, every day that’s gone by, I felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love.”
In her candid chat with Harper’s, Dion also shared that years of being away from her fans deepened her fondness for nature. She revealed, “I love trees so much, and I had this vision of myself trying to disappear through the leaves,” reflecting her introspective journey.
She said the barren trees in autumn felt like a metaphor for her own life.
Now Celine is preparing for her tour, and gave herself a pep talk: “Well girl, if you don’t want to sign autographs and you don’t want to get yourself pretty and you don’t want to be disturbed because your pasta is going to get cold, you can always stay home. But look at what you have.”
To prepare for her 10-date Paris residency later this year, Celine has been undergoing a vigorous exercise routine, consisting of three 90-minute Pilates sessions a week and two ballet classes a week.
The recent passing of actress Hayden Panettiere at just 36 years old is prompting fans to reflect on her diverse career, revisiting her performances in both film and television. While many recognize her from popular series like “Nashville” and “Heroes,” Panettiere also made her mark in the horror genre. Throughout her career, she starred in four horror films, each varying significantly in quality—a trait often found within this particular genre.
For those dedicated to experiencing all of Panettiere’s horror work, watching each film might be appealing. However, if you wish to highlight her standout performances, it’s helpful to know what each movie offers. To assist with this, we’ve examined her horror filmography and ranked each movie from least to most critically acclaimed, relying on their Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer ratings.
4. Sleepwalker (2026)
Sadly, Panettiere’s last movie, “Sleepwalker,” isn’t among her most celebrated efforts. Directed by Brandon Auman, the 2026 movie received a low 14% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Those who prefer to remember Panettiere at her peak might choose to pass up on this project, though for the curious, Looper’s sister site, /Film, provides a guide on how to watch “Sleepwalker.”
“Sleepwalker” holds a certain potential despite its poor reception. It tells the story of an artist named Sarah Pangborn, who experiences a heartbreaking loss—her daughter dies in a car crash that leaves her problematic husband in a coma. Adding to her turmoil, Sarah begins sleepwalking, facing increasingly terrifying dreams that might be more reality than imagination.
Panettiere, familiar with personal challenges, found herself drawn to her character’s struggles in the film. In an interview with Moviefone, she explained, “I’m really drawn to characters that have been through trauma. It’s something that I relate to.”
3. A Breed Apart (2025)
A remake (of sorts) of Wes Craven’s 2006 horror film “The Breed,” Griff and Nathan Furst’s “A Breed Apart” is more comedic in tone than the other entries on this list. The film has the intriguing premise of following a group of attention-seeking influencers finding themselves on a remote island. There’s just one minor hurdle between them and viral fame and fortune: The island is actually a death trap populated by monstrous dogs that are hungry for human flesh.
“A group of fish-out-of-water types stuck in an isolated location with something terrible” is a great, classic premise for a horror film. Unfortunately, “A Breed Apart” doesn’t quite match its title, and only has an 18% Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating. Also, unfortunately for Hayden Panettiere fans, her role in the movie isn’t particularly big.
Better news for Panettiere fans, however, is that her moments are actually quite impressive. Panettiere plays fearless action star Hayden Hurst, who gets some fun fights against the killer dogs, and she generally comes across as the person who best understands the assignment. You can tell that Panettiere had a blast, and she said as much in an interview with Far Out Magazine. “I loved that character. [She’s] a character that I don’t think people have ever really seen me play,” she said. “I’d love to do more action films in the future. I love that combination of physicality and acting.”
2. Scream 4 (2011)
Dimension Films
The “Scream” franchise was always a touch meta, but “Scream 4” got an extra scoop. Standing at a solid 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Wes Craven-directer 2011 film brings habitual Ghostface survivor Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) back to Woodsboro for a promo tour of her book about trauma. Of course, the newest incarnation of the Ghostface killer is waiting in the shadows to provide plenty more for her therapist to unpack. If she survives.
As old hands Sidney, Gale Weathers-Riley (Courteney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) get drawn back into the latest series of murders, a new generation of youngsters is stalked by the slayer. Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby Reed is an integral part of this crowd as the horror-obsessed best friend of Sidney’s cousin Jill Roberts (Emma Roberts). Despite initial appearances, Kirby ends up being far more resilient than she seems, and lives on to fight another day in one more installment of the franchise.
1. Scream VI (2023)
Paramount Pictures
During pre-production, “Scream VI” producer Kevin Williamson originally couldn’t find Hayden Panettiere to cast her for a reprisal of her role as Kirby Reed. It’s a good thing that he did, though, because Panettiere is great in her return to the screen franchise. The “Scream” film responds to her efforts in kind, giving Panettiere her far and away best-rated horror movie.
With a 77% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes, all bets are off in “Scream VI.” It’s a great horror flick that’s just as subversive as any of the franchise’s finest films, and it uses the previous installment’s gimmick of combining franchise veterans with newcomers like Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera — both on their second outing here — to great effect.
As for Panettiere’s Kirby Reed, she’s now a law enforcement agent. Her role is far from a brief blink-and-you-miss-it cameo, too. She plays a pivotal role in revealing the identity of a Ghostface killer, and gets a wonderful punch-the-air moment at the film’s climax. “Scream VI” combines a great Hayden Panettiere performance in a great Hayden Panettiere horror film, and as a result, it’s a must-watch for fans of the star’s horror career.
Las autoridades de Filadelfia anunciaron el lunes que están en la búsqueda de un hombre acusado de atemorizar a los transeúntes mientras llevaba puesta una reconocible máscara de “Chucky”, el muñeco diabólico popular en Halloween.
Según los reportes, el individuo persiguió a varias personas en la zona de Center City, en un evento de acoso que se extendió por casi 20 minutos el pasado miércoles, comenzando alrededor de las 5:18 de la mañana.
“En ese lapso, el sospechoso logró acercarse a muchas personas, pero la mayoría aún no ha contactado a la policía,” declaró el lunes el capitán Jason Smith, de la Policía de Filadelfia, en una rueda de prensa.

En un inquietante incidente capturado por cámaras de seguridad, Smith reveló que el hombre enmascarado persiguió a una corredora, a quien le lanzó la perturbadora pregunta: “¿Estás lista para morir?”. La aterrada mujer huyó pidiendo auxilio y resultó con una herida en la pierna debido a la confrontación, informó Smith.
Después del incidente, la jogger contactó a las autoridades. Sin embargo, se cree que al menos otras seis personas también fueron acosadas por el hombre enmascarado que buscaba asustar o provocar durante las primeras horas del miércoles.
“Ataca tanto a hombres como a mujeres; básicamente a cualquiera con quien se cruza”, dijo Smith.
Smith dijo que la policía solo tiene conocimiento del incidente ocurrido el miércoles por la mañana, pero animó a cualquiera que haya sido “víctima de este individuo” a que se presente.
Una de las víctimas habló con WPVI, una filial de ABC, y mostró cómo pateó al sospechoso en el pecho cuando este intentó atacarla.
“Pensé que, si iba a pasar algo, quería verlo con mis propios ojos”, dijo Jameka, quien pidió no revelar su apellido. “Así que me di la vuelta, empecé a gritarle ‘no me sigas’. En ese momento, levanté las manos como si fuera a pelear. Me protegí la cara, asegurándome de cubrir mi eje central. Él también levantó las manos, pero me di cuenta de que nunca antes había estado en una pelea”.
Ella dijo que él sospechoso huyó después de que ella le diera una patada.
Jameka dijo que algo no andaba bien con el hombre.
“Parecía muy desorientado sobre cuáles eran realmente sus objetivos. Yo llevaba unas bolsas, pero él no intentó agarrarlas. No parecía tener una intención clara de entrar en La Colombe para hacer algo, así que pensé: ‘Bueno, veamos si sabes pelear’, y resultó que no”.
Una vez detenido, el sospechoso enfrentará cargos que incluyen amenazas terroristas, acoso, agresión simple, puesta en peligro temeraria e intimidación, señaló Smith.

Se vio al sospechoso sosteniendo un teléfono celular en la mano izquierda y parecía estar grabando las interacciones “para sus propios propósitos”, dijo Smith. La policía está “rastreando las redes sociales” para ver si encuentra algún material publicado en línea con el fin de localizar al sospechoso, dijo el capitán.
El sospechoso fue captado bajándose la máscara blanca, lo que dejó parte de su rostro al descubierto, dijo Smith. La policía describió al sospechoso como un hombre negro de complexión delgada, de aproximadamente 1.73 metros (5 pies y 8 pulgadas) de estatura y de entre 16 y 20 años de edad.
Long before Lindsay Clancy faced grave accusations concerning the death of her three children, she, a former labor and delivery nurse, once expressed a poignant sentiment about Andrea Yates.
Margaret Hamp, a colleague of Clancy, recounted a significant conversation on August 17 while testifying. They discussed the challenges of postpartum depression, particularly after a patient at Massachusetts General Hospital expressed self-harm thoughts, according to a report by Boston.com.
Hamp described bringing up the tragic story of Andrea Yates, a Texas mother who was acquitted by reason of insanity after she drowned her five children in a bathtub. This case has long resonated in discussions surrounding mental health and motherhood.
Even though Clancy was unfamiliar with Yates’ story, Hamp vividly remembered the deep impact it had on her, noting an emotional response that followed.
“She cried,” Hamp shared during her testimony, “and she said, ‘How could a mother hurt her children?'” The question lingered, highlighting the profound struggle many mothers face under the shadows of mental illness.
Now, Clancy has been accused of killing her own three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan—at the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023, before trying to take her own life.
Clancy’s defense attorneys have argued, however, that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings after months of being overmedicated with an ever-changing cocktail of drugs.
During the first day of defense testimony, Hamp described Clancy as a dedicated mom who often worried about her children’s welfare while at work, once even calling police to do a welfare check on then 6-month-old Cora after spotting the baby crying on a monitor and being unable to reach her thusband Patrick Clancy, according to Boston.com.
“Lindsay never let Cora cry,” Hamp recalled. “She wasn’t at that point in parenting, and she was very communicative about that.”
According to Hamp, Clancy was “often emotional during [the] birth of complete strangers. She would cry, and she would just say, ‘That was so beautiful.’”
Lindsay Clancy’s Mother Paula Musgrove Testifies About Concerning Text
Clancy’s mother Paula Musgrove also testified about her daughter’s parenting, describing her as “a very loving mother,” according to The New York Post.
“She was dedicated to her children,” Musgrove said. “She was a fun mother. She was always doing things for her kids. She always wanted to be a mother and have many children. I felt it was the best thing to happen to her. She would do anything for her children.”
But, Musgrove testified that in October of 2022 she began to notice her daughter’s mental health decline. That month, Clancy—who was struggling with bipolar disorder and postpartum depression—texted her mother saying she was experiencing “scary” side effects from new medication.
“Mom, will you please come up and stay with me for a bit,” the text read, per Boston.com. “I’m really sick. Something is wrong. I had horrible insomnia all night, and I just don’t know how I’m going to get through the day. I started taking the medicine my doctor prescribed for anxiety, and I think it’s made things worse. It’s just really scary, and I don’t want to be alone.”
Her mother drove up from her Connecticut home the next day and began spending longer periods of time staying with her daughter and helping her care for the children.
Then, in December of 2022, Clancy told her husband and Musgrove that she was having dark thoughts about harming the children.
“I remember her being very nervous,” Musgrove testified, per The New York Post, before adding that Clancy told them, “I just have to tell you guys something.”
According to Musgrove, Clancy confessed to having “thoughts of harming the children.”
“I remember Pat asking her if she felt like she couldn’t be alone with the children,” she added, “and she said, ‘No.’ ”
When prosecutors asked whether Musgrove had any concerns for the children’s safety at the time, she replied,“No, because I was there,” according to the outlet.
As her daughter’s mental health continued to deteriorate over the months, Musgrove said Clancy would occasionally ask to sleep in her bed because she didn’t want to be alone and would talk about not being in her right mind.
“She would say to me, ‘This isn’t me. I’ve never been like this before,’” Musgrove recalled, per Boston.com. “And I would agree, because she wasn’t. She was attempting to go through the motions of her day, take care of the kids as best she could.”
Lindsay Clancy’s Sister Testified She Was “Still Struggling” Weeks Before Killings
Clancy eventually admitted herself into a psychiatric hospital in early January 2023 and repeatedly sought out help from multiple providers, which the defense has argued resulted in disjointed care and overmedication, per The Associated Press.
Her sister Allison Ozga testified about Clancy’s decline, noting that she “looked like she was going through the motions” at a birthday party for her daughter just weeks before she would strangle the children with exercise bands.
“She looked tired,” Ozga testified per Boston.com. “She looked like she was still struggling.”
Before resting their case, prosecutors called a series of medical providers to the stand who testified that she never talked about harming herself or others before the deaths and didn’t exhibit signs of psychosis. They contend that Clancy purposely sent her husband on errands on Jan. 24, 2023 so that she could kill the children.
