Jessica Alba forced to delete ‘nasty’ Halloween pic after being slammed for ‘distasteful’ outfit
JESSICA Alba has found herself on thin ice with fans following a massive fallout from her Halloween costume.
There has been such a backlash over her choice of outfit that the Fantastic Four actress, 45, has been forced to delete the picture of her wearing it after being called “distasteful”.
Much like the rest of the celebrity world, at the weekend Jessica Alba got into the spooky spirit and revealed her costume on social media to fans.
In a pic posted on Instagram Jessica dressed up as the famous 90s figure skater Nancy Kerrigan.
In the snap, her costume consisted of a white lace figure skating dress with a bloody bandage wrapped around her knee.
Jessica’s friend Kelly Sawyer dressed up as her rival Tonya Harding, and was wielding a baseball bat.

Back in 1994, Nancy was famously assaulted and struck in the knee with a baseball bat right before she performed at the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Tonya was blamed for having an involvement in the attack – something she denied – but she later pleaded guilty to conspiring to hinder the prosecution.
Nancy’s attacker was later revealed to be Shane Stant, who was hired by Tonya’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, along with Shawn Eckhardt.
Fans found Jessica’s reference to this attack as “distasteful”, and the actress has since pulled the picture from Instagram following the backlash.
One fan said: “We expect better, Jessica.”
Another called the actress “immature”, with another commenting: “Why are we being nasty this Halloween?”
However, this fan jumped to Jessica’s defence and said: “It’s been over 30 years. Seems like a pretty tame joke at this point.”
