Neutrogena responds to criticism over how brand deal with Hayden Panettiere ended

Late actor in May said beauty brand cut off its relationship with her after she spoke out about postpartum depression

The beauty brand Neutrogena has acknowledged making its former ambassador Hayden Panettiere “feel unsupported during a very difficult time” – alluding to when the late Hollywood actor said the company severed ties with her after she spoke about enduring postpartum depression (PPD).

Neutrogena issued a statement addressing the situation four days after the 36-year-old actor was found dead at an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina.
