1. Hedi Klum as Godess Kali
Hedi Klum is known for her over the top costumes. But in 2008, she went as the Goddess Kali which caused quite a backlash. With many people accusing her for “using the religion for decoration or to advance her selfish agenda.” In fact, Hindu-American leaders demanded an apology.
2. Colton Haynes as Kanye West
Arrow’s Colton Haynes has a history of dressing up in blackface. In fact, one year he dressed up as Kanye West and the next year he dressed up as Gandi.
3. Julianne Hough as Crazy Eyes
Julianne Hough is another celebrity who decided it was smart to dress up in blackface. But, would later offer an apology:
I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize.
4. Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick as “Sheik Pussy”
The Kardashians showed their true colors when Disick dressed as an Arab Sheik and Khloe instagrammed it with the captaion “Sheik Pussy.” She would later comment on the issue during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians:
“I just wrote “Sheik Pussy.” Wait, what’s wrong with it? I don’t understand. Nothing is nice so far, what is happening?!”
Many people found that the costume was culturally inappropriate.
5. Chris Brown as the Taliban
Chris Brown thought it would be a good idea to pretend to be a terrorist. One year he dressed up as a member of the Taliban and he even tried to justify his reasoning to Hollywood Life:
“It’s Halloween and people can be whoever the f**k they want to be. That’s the whole point. It’s a costume. We all didn’t mean no disrespect by dressing up as Arabs. Nobody ain’t mention s**t about no Taliban or nothing like that. We just went out, put on a costume and had some fun. Damn, it’s too early in the day to be talking about drama and s**t like that. It’s f**king Halloween and all that really matters is that he had a good time and came out and supported Rihanna and made a big a** donation to her charity. Talk about that instead of a stupid costume.”
6. Adrianne Curry as Amy Winehouse
America’s Next Top Model winner, Adrianne Curry, thought it was a good idea to dress up as the late Amy Winehouse.
7. Ashley Benson as Cecil the Lion

Ashley Benson’s costume as Cecil the Lion was so offensive that she had to post an apology on Instagram. Blaming her management for using an improper title, she donated to money to the World Wildlife Fund to apologize.
8. Snooki as a milk carton
Thirty years ago people used to advertise their missing children on the side of a milk carton in the hope that it would help find their kids. So, naturally, when people saw Snooki’s costume people found it extremely insensitive.
