Mormon Wife Star Sparks Outrage With JFK Assassination Costume
30 Oct
Summary
- McCall DaPron's family dressed as the Kennedys on assassination day.
- Commenters called the costume 'appallingly distasteful' and insensitive.
- DaPron later switched off comments on her divisive Instagram post.
McCall DaPron, set to appear in the upcoming Hulu series 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County,' has ignited controversy with her family's Halloween attire. DaPron, her husband Kirk, and their four children dressed as the Kennedy family, specifically referencing the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Their daughter portrayed Caroline Kennedy, the son John F. Kennedy Jr., and the two older children were dressed as Secret Service agents.
The choice was met with immediate online criticism, with social media users deeming the costume "appallingly distasteful" and insensitive to the tragedy. Less than 24 hours after sharing the photos, DaPron turned off comments on the Instagram post amid the backlash.
This controversy echoes a similar incident last year involving actress Julia Fox, who also dressed as Jackie Kennedy on the day of the assassination. Fox's costume notably included blood splatter on the iconic pink suit, which she defended as a "statement" about bravery and mourning. Jack Schlossberg, JFK and Jackie's grandson, had previously condemned Fox's choice as "disgusting, desperate and dangerous."
