Halloween brings out many dumb people who do things just for attention, even though they know what they’re doing is wrong.
One of those things that people do even though they know it’s wrong is wear blackface. It happens every year, and this year was no different.
One of the people accused of wearing blackface for Halloween was Conor McGregor’s mom. She and her son got a lot of criticism for her costume this year, but she says it wasn’t blackface.
It sure does look like she wore it black because her face was painted black, but McGregor says the costume interpretation was just wrong and unfortunate.
Conor McGregor’s mother has denied claims that she wore blackface as part of her Halloween costume.
Margaret McGregor was pictured appearing to wear blackface as part of her Halloween costume but has since denied that was the case.
A number of images appeared on social media with Margaret even posing alongside her son wearing blackface.
Pictures surfaced of Margaret wearing the face paint when her daughter Erin originally shared a video of her mother in her costume.
Captioning the video, Erin said: “Mad Magzer loving the Halloween vibe”
But Mrs McGregor has denied the claims – with Conor’s representatives telling The Mirror: “The McGregor family loves Halloween. Mrs McGregor had spiders painted on her face since her costume was a ghoul risen from the grave.
“Any other interpretation was just wrong and truly unfortunate.”
Fight fans will be hoping to see McGregor back in the octagon in 2023 and the Dubliner is expected to ramp up his training now he has returned to Dublin.
They didn’t explain the costume, though. It is possible in Ireland. It isn’t a big deal, but it still wasn’t a good look.
