  "account": "Neutrogena, a skincare brand, is facing social media backlash and boycott calls following the death of actress Hayden Panettiere. The controversy stems from an old post in which Panettiere claimed her partnership with Neutrogena ended after she publicly discussed postpartum depression. Panettiere, who died on August 16, revealed in her 2026 memoir that Neutrogena terminated her long-standing contract in 2016 after she opened up about her experience with PPD during an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael in 2015. The brand has faced accusations of mistreating Panettiere, with some users revisiting her claims after her death.",
  "summary": "Panettiere had appeared in multiple Neutrogena campaigns and served as a brand ambassador before the partnership came to an end in 2016.",
