Jessica Alba Deletes Instagram Photos After Halloween Costume Backlash

We’ve reached the inevitable part in the Halloween news cycle where celebrities are offending people with their costumes (see: Martha Stewart), and it looks like Jessica Alba’s outfit has incurred some side-eyes.The multi-hyphenate dropped photos of her costume over the weekend, dressed up as figure skater Nancy Kerrigan with a bloody bandage around her knee. Jessica’s friend, meanwhile, was dressed as Tonya Harding and holding a baseball bat—a clear reference to the 1994 attack on Nancy, which was planned by Tonya’s ex-husband, and led to Tonya being banned.Jessica has since deleted her Instagram post (the photos are still on Threads), but Us Weekly reports that followers were busy calling her out in the comments, accusing her of being “immature” and writing “Why would you want to revisit this traumatic moment that ended people’s careers?” Meanwhile, commenters on Reddit think the backlash was largely overblown.For what it’s worth, Jessica wore this costume to Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun’s Halloween Party, which had a “Hockey Horror” theme inspired by Off Campus and Heated Rivalry. Hence, the ice skating outfit!
