Neutrogena Comments on Hayden Panettiere's Death Amid Backlash

The brand drew criticism after responding to the actress’s death, as viewers questioned claims it fired her after she spoke about postpartum depression.

  • American skin and hair product company Neutrogena faces widespread online backlash following the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, who passed away on Sunday at age 36 in South Carolina. Fans are calling for boycotts, prompting the brand to disable comments on social media platforms.
  • Reports indicate Neutrogena dropped Panettiere as an ambassador after she spoke publicly about suffering from postpartum depression. She stated the company cited a morality clause to justify the non-renewal of her contract.
  • Company leaders admitted they made Panettiere "feel unsupported during a very difficult time" in a statement released Thursday. Executives expressed "sadness" over her death and acknowledged their failure to support her during personal struggles.
  • Neutrogena pledged a "significant investment to a long-standing community health partner" to aid women needing postpartum depression care. The brand will share further details when plans are finalized.
  • Investigations into the death of the Nashville actress remain ongoing in Greenville. ABC News reported on Wednesday that the Drug Enforcement Administration joined local authorities in the probe, though no official cause of death has been released.
