'Mormon Wives' star McCall DaPron faces backlash over JFK Halloween costume
Key Points:
- McCall DaPron and her family faced backlash after dressing as the Kennedy family on the day of JFK's assassination for Halloween 2026, sparking criticism for being "appallingly distasteful."
- McCall portrayed Jackie Kennedy, her husband Kirk played JFK, and their children dressed as Caroline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Secret Service agents, which many found insensitive given the tragic historical context.
- Comments on McCall's Instagram post were disabled following the negative reactions, although social media users expressed strong disapproval before the feature was turned off.
- This is not the first time a Jackie Kennedy costume has caused controversy; Julia Fox faced similar criticism last year for wearing a bloodied version of the iconic pink outfit, which was condemned by Jackie Kennedy's grandson.
- McCall is set to star in the upcoming "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" series on Hulu, premiering November 12, alongside other cast members including original star Jen Affleck.
