  • The costumes were worn to a "Hockey Horror" Halloween party in Los Angeles on Saturday 31 October, and the post went up the next day
  • Commenters split between those who called it harmless creativity and those who asked why anyone would revisit a "traumatic moment"
  • It came days after Harding, 55, announced a public skating show on 12 December

Jessica Alba has taken down her Halloween photos after dressing as a wounded Nancy Kerrigan, in a costume that referred to one of the best-known attacks in sporting history.

Why did Jessica Alba delete her Halloween post?

Because of the reaction. The actor shared an Instagram carousel on Sunday 1 November captioned "Happy Halloween from Tonya... and Nancy". It showed her as Kerrigan, in a white skating-style outfit with a faux-bloodied bandage around her knee. A friend stood beside her as Harding, holding a baseball bat. By Monday, the post had been removed.
