Jack Schlossberg slams Julia Fox’s bloody Jackie O costume as “desperate” and “disgusting” in furious outburst.NN
Jack Schlossberg accused Julia Fox of glorifying political violence after she dressed up as a bloodied version of his late grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, for Halloween.
“Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous,” Schlossberg wrote on X Friday.
“I’m sure her late grandmother would agree,” Vogue’s political correspondent, 32, added.
On Halloween Friday, Fox revealed that she was channeling the former first lady covered in blood after President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination in Dallas, Texas. He was 46.
The “Uncut Gems” actress was seen wearing a blood-soaked pink tweed skirt suit, a matching pillbox hat and a navy structured handbag in photos shared to her Instagram.
The ensemble matched the same look Jackie O wore on the day former President Kennedy was shot dead.
“I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” Fox explained in the caption of her post.
“When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’ The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history,” she continued.
“Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.”
Fox, 35, described the tragedy as a moment of courage for the former first lady, who died on May 19, 1994 at the age of 64 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
“Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery,” Fox wrote. “It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality.”
Fox explained to her fans that the costume choice was about “trauma,” “power,” and “how femininity itself is a form of resistance.”
“Long live Jackie O ♥️,” she concluded.

Fox’s Instagram followers had mixed reactions to the controversial getup.
“Some people will do anything for attention. Then when they find the attention isn’t favorable, they make up a statement. This is classless and distasteful and no statement can justify it…..” one critic commented on her post.
“You’re dressed like this for ghoulish attention. And to dress like this in a climate with rising political violence glorifies it, not female perseverance. And you know it,” a second person claimed.
“For her, it was an extraordinary active bravery. For you it’s just attention seeking and horribly disrespectful. Do better,” another agreed.
“Love the historical pov you’re giving with the caption,” a supporter wrote, with a defender adding, “Okay the caption saved it for me- not everyone has this type of mindset.”
Fox’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
