Hayden Panettiere's death sparks calls for Neutrogena boycott

Calls for a boycott of Neutrogena are surging on social media following the death of actress Hayden Panettiere. Fans are demanding a national boycott of the cosmetics company, with which Panettiere collaborated from 2005 to 2015. The controversy stems from Panettiere's past accusations that Neutrogena dropped her contract after she publicly discussed her struggles with postpartum depression. She detailed this experience in her memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" and on Jay Shetty's podcast "On Purpose." Panettiere described the contract termination as "another blow in a difficult year." Online reactions have been swift and intense. A Reddit user's comment, "I will never buy their products again in my life," garnered over 5,500 upvotes. On Threads, Neutrogena's official account faced a barrage of negative comments. One user responded to the company's post, "Friends don't let friends sleep with makeup on," by saying, "Friends don't abandon friends when they are going through hard times, but okay." Data from Google Trends indicates a more than 5,000% spike in searches for "Neutrogena boycott" within three days. On TikTok, over 70,000 users are participating in the boycott through videos and comments. Neutrogena has not responded to a request for comment from The New York Post. It remains uncertain if sales will be significantly impacted, though the stock of its parent company, Kenvue Inc., saw a 2% dip on Monday, partially recovering the next morning.
