“Who went in blackface ffs?” one user wrote.
“Nobody else seeing the black face paint on the lady at the end? Wtf?”
“Everyone’s talking about his beard. What about the fact that his mum is doing blackface lol.”
“Your mother did black face??? Wow.”
A spokesperson for McGregor has responded to the accusations of racism and tactlessness in a public statement. According to the spokesperson, Margaret McGregor’s face was not painted black, but rather covered in spiders.
“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.”
