Hayden Panettiere fans renew call for Neutrogena boycott after actor's death
This past May, Hayden Panettiere alleged Neutrogena tried to fire her in 2015 for speaking about her struggle with postpartum depression. Following the actor's death, fans are renewing their calls to boycott the skincare company.
Actress Hayden Panettiere's passing earlier this week at the age of 36 has sparked a renewed examination of her life and career, particularly her contentious relationship with cosmetics company Neutrogena. Panettiere was unapologetic in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, about her tumultuous ten-year association with Neutrogena, which ended after she openly discussed her struggles with postpartum depression.
Neutrogena reportedly claimed her candor had violated a "morality clause" in her contract. The company's recent statement on social media acknowledged Panettiere's feelings of being unsupported and pledged to invest in community health initiatives to support women dealing with postpartum depression.
