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".
