Mormon Wives Star McCall DaPron Faces Backlash Over Family’s JFK Assassination Halloween Costumes

Family’s Kennedy-themed costumes

DaPron, who is set to appear in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives spinoff Orange County, shared a picture of her family in Halloween outfits. She and her husband, Kirk, portrayed Jackie and John F. Kennedy on the day of the president’s assassination.

Their children wore costumes representing the Kennedy children and Secret Service agents. McCartney, 8, and Banks, 2, were dressed as Caroline Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr.; Monroe, 11, and Truman, 4, wore Secret Service outfits.

Criticism followed the post

DaPron captioned the picture, “Happy Halloween [heart] The Kennedy’s,” according to People. The post drew comments from people who objected to the costumes. One commenter criticized portraying Jackie Kennedy during what they described as the most frightening day of her life. Another called the family’s choice “appallingly distasteful.”

Photo was later deleted

DaPron initially disabled comments on the post before removing the photo. The article does not say whether she offered a further response. Julia Fox faced criticism last year after wearing Jackie Kennedy’s outfit from the same day, with blood splatter added. JFK and Jackie’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, accused Fox of “glorifying political violence.”
