Neutrogena Faces Boycott Calls After Hayden Panettiere's Death and Past Partnership End
Following the death of actor Hayden Panettiere at 36, Neutrogena faces boycott calls linked to their past partnership ending in 2016. Panettiere publicly shared her struggle with postpartum depression after her daughter's birth in 2014. She claimed Neutrogena severed their decade-long collaboration due to a morals clause after her disclosure. Authorities confirmed no foul play in her death. Fans and social media users have reignited criticism of Neutrogena, calling for boycotts and questioning the brand's response to mental health openness.
