Dayna Kathan dressed up as late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Halloween and was berated on Instagram for doing so.

At the end of last month, after the "Vanderpump Rules" cast member shared a photo of herself wearing a lacy piece of black lingerie and fishnet tights with a white collared jabot and a pair of dark eyeglasses, a number of her fans and followers criticized her outfit and suggested that her rendition of the justice was disrespectful to her legacy.

On November 2, Reality Tearevealed that in a supposed thirst-inspired move, Dayna dressed up as the "sexy" version of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and was quickly ripped apart by social users for doing so.

“‘My mother told me to be a lady. and for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.’ -notorious RBG,” Dayna had written in the caption of the photo. 

In the comments, many of Dayna's online audience members slammed the costume for being in "such poor taste."

“If 2020 wasn’t bad enough we’re now sexualizing RBG,” one person said.

“This is legit appalling. Disrespectful af. How can anyone think this is ok? Seriously embarrassing,” wrote another.

“This ain’t it,” shared a third.

While other people made it clear to Dayna that they were fans of her, they took aim at her decision to dress up as the late Surpreme Court Justice on the spooky holiday.

“Girl I love you and RBG but this is just cringey,” one of her followers noted.

“Totally disrespectful to RBG. I’m embarrassed for you," another fan on Instagram stated. 

Following the backlash, Dayna chose to disable the comments on her post. That said, there were still plenty of others who slammed her costume. 

“Damn… this is so tacky,” someone wrote in a comment.

“This is disrespectful sorry Dayna,” agreed another.

“Ugh RBG did not mean this,” said a different fan.

Another person shared a more lengthy reaction.

“RBG used her intellect and tenacity to fight for the equality of women, not her body or sexuality," the person explained. "Body positivity and owning your sexuality are great things, but sexualizing a very recently passed honorable justice is disrespectful, tacky and just gross.”

Dayna joined the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" in August of last year for the eighth season of the series. Right away, due to her drama with TomTom manager Max Boyens and her short-lived fling with fellow SUR Restaurant employee Brett Caprioni, she became a main part of the season.

While fans certainly expected to see Dayna brought back to the show for season nine, the series has not yet officially been renewed for a ninth season and it is unclear whether it ever will be.
