Jessica Alba has apparently deleted her Halloween costume – a bloody reenactment of Nancy Kerrigan’s 1994 attack – from her Instagram account amid backlash.
The actress’ Instagram upload was captured by the Daily Express over the weekend, with the caption: “Happy Halloween from Tonya (Harding)… and Nancy.”
Alba, 45, channeled the latter, 57, in a white dress, matching tights and ice skates, as well as a blood-stained knee bandage.
The “Honey” star’s friend stood next to her, dressed as Harding, 55, in a sparkly brown ensemble.
While Alba’s friend, Kelly Sawyer, held a baseball bat, Shane Stant, the man hired by Harding’s ex-husband who assaulted Kerrigan in January 1994, used a police baton.
The headline-grabbing moment happened before Olympic qualifying, forcing Kerrigan to withdraw.
Harding, who was never convicted of any involvement, was later handed a lifetime ban by the United States Figure Skating Association – but recently made public his intention to return to the sport.
Many of Alba’s followers, according to the outlet, expressed their distaste for the costume choice in the comments section.
“Immature. We expect better, Jessica,” one wrote, while another questioned the duo “revisiting this traumatic moment that ended people’s careers” and “making a Halloween costume out of an attack victim.”
A third referenced Martha Stewart’s viral decision to dress up as an unhoused person, writing: “Wow, first Martha and now Jessica. Why are we being naughty this Halloween?”
Meanwhile, many Reddit users came to Alba’s defense.
“Hey. It’s been over 30 years, there have been two feature films and, like, five TV movies about this subject,” one pointed out. “It seems like a pretty corny joke at this point.”
Alba’s representative did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Although Alba’s original caption for the since-deleted photo referred to her 8-year-old son, Hayes, as a vampire, the little one’s costume is no longer visible on the “Dark Angel” alum’s account.
Alba is also mother to daughters Honor, 18, and Haven, 15, with ex-husband Cash Warren – and the latter posted about her unicorn look via Instagram on Sunday.
She’s been dating Danny Ramirez since her divorce last year, and the 34-year-old actor hasn’t given any glimpses of her Halloween celebrations on social media this weekend.
