Actress Hayden Panettiere’s death prompts renewed public calls to boycott Neutrogena, following her past criticism of the company. The complaints focus on her claim that she was pushed out of a Neutrogena contract after speaking publicly about postpartum depression, and that she was later “released” from the agreement.
Both outlets describe Panettiere’s earlier statements as a central part of the backlash. The Independent frames the situation around the renewed boycott calls, while the New York Post highlights the immediate public response and mentions that Neutrogena-related stocks fall sharply. The two accounts differ in emphasis—one on the consumer boycott movement and the broader controversy, the other on market reaction and the volatility of investor sentiment—while relying on the same underlying allegation about her contract exit after her advocacy.
Overall, the coverage ties the renewed attention to Panettiere’s earlier comments and the dispute over how Neutrogena handled her contract, alongside reactions from fans and observers after her death.
