'Mormon Wives' Star McCall DaPron Slammed Over Family's JFK Assassination Halloween Costume
McCall DaPron, who is set to star in the Orange County spinoff of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," is facing backlash after her family's Halloween costume recreating the outfits worn on the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination sparked online criticism, Page Six reported on October 31.
The social media personality shared the family's looks in an Instagram post on Thursday. McCall, 36, dressed as Jackie Kennedy in a pink mini skirt and matching blazer while carrying a bouquet of red roses, while her husband, Kirk DaPron, portrayed former President John F. Kennedy — recreating the outfits the couple wore on the day of the 1963 assassination in Dallas.
Their 8-year-old daughter, McCartney, dressed as Caroline Kennedy, while their 2-year-old son, Banks, portrayed John F. Kennedy Jr. Their other children, 11-year-old Monroe and 4-year-old Truman, completed the family's look as Secret Service agents. "Happy Halloween — The Kennedys," McCall captioned the post.
Comments on the post have since been turned off. According to People, one commenter called the looks "appallingly distasteful," while another wrote, "You're dressing up as a woman on the scariest day of her life." Page Six has reached out to representatives for McCall for comment but did not immediately hear back.
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County" is set to premiere on Hulu on November 12. McCall will star alongside original series star Jen Affleck and others, and is also the sister of original "SLOMW" star Mayci Neeley.
McCall is not the first celebrity to face backlash for the look: Julia Fox sparked criticism last year after dressing as Jackie Kennedy in the same pink outfit, in her case covered in blood. Jack Schlossberg, Jackie's grandson, weighed in at the time on X, and Fox later defended the look as a "statement" about "protest" and "mourning."
