Reality star McCall DaPron criticized for Halloween costume depicting the Kennedys
McCall DaPron faced online backlash after she and her family dressed as the Kennedys for Halloween, prompting criticism for the choice of a tragic historical event as a costume theme.
Reality-TV personality McCall DaPron sparked controversy after posting Instagram photos of her family dressed as members of the Kennedy family for Halloween. In the images, DaPron, 36, wore a pink mini-skirt suit and a bouquet of red roses to represent Jackie Kennedy, while her husband Kirk DaPron portrayed President John F. Kennedy. Their children were styled as Caroline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Secret Service agents.
The post, captioned “Happy Halloween 🩷 The Kennedys,” attracted criticism on social media, with some users describing the outfits as “appallingly distasteful” and inappropriate given the historical tragedy. Comments on the post have since been disabled, but the reaction continued in other forums.
"[You’re] dressing up as a woman on the scariest day of her life…" – a user comment reported by People.
Page Six did not receive an immediate response from DaPron’s representatives. The costume controversy follows similar criticism faced by actress Julia Fox last year for a Jackie Kennedy-inspired outfit that incorporated blood-stained elements.
DaPron is set to appear in the Hulu series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County,” which premieres on November 12. The show will feature original cast member Jen Affleck and several new personalities.
