Neutrogena has responded to backlash over its past treatment of former ambassador Hayden Panettiere. The company acknowledged it made Panettiere feel unsupported during a difficult time. This response comes after Panettiere's sudden passing, which is still under investigation.

Panettiere had spoken about her experiences with postpartum depression in a podcast interview earlier this year. She claimed that Neutrogena severed ties with her due to a morals clause after she discussed her struggles.

Further details about the circumstances surrounding Panettiere's death and her relationship with Neutrogena are available from the source. An autopsy was completed, but the cause of death is still pending further investigation.
