Hilary Swank Dropped by PR Company in Wake of Chechen Party Scandal

Ouch!

She might've tried to clear her image by letting go of her reps, but Hilary Swank is still facing the harsh consequences of attending a party for Chechen President (and alleged human rights violator) Ramzan Kaydrov.

A source close to Swank's PR firm, 42West, confirms to E! News that they decided to split from the two-time Oscar winner.

According to Entertainment Weekly, 42West and Swank went their separate ways due to a disagreement on how best to deal with the backlash from the Oct. 5 event.

"I deeply regret attending this event, which has thrown into question my long and deeply held commitment to the protection of human rights," the Million Dollar Baby star said in a statement.

"I would never intentionally do anything that raised doubts about such commitment. I will continue to donate my time and my financial resources not only to the charities with which I am currently affiliated, but also those dedicated to the preservation of human rights. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone."
