Ashley Benson
The year 2015 was a tough year for animal lovers, seeing the death of Harambe the Gorilla and Cecil the Lion. Benson went ahead and barreled along anyway with a "sexy Cecil the Lion" costume.
"Help! Can't decide on my Halloween costume this year! What do you guys think of this Cecil the Lion costume?" she posted on Instagram.
Later, she revised the post to remove Cecil's name.
"Yesterday's post was in poor taste and I absolutely regret all of the hurt that photo caused," she posted the next day. "The caption that was posted was incorrect and my costume was not Cecil the Lion, when I saw that, I contacted my management who handled the post and had it immediately changed."
As it turned out, it was meant to be an advertisement for Yandy's "Sexy Cecil the Lion costume," since renamed "Sexy Lion Costume." Benson said she would donate the money she made to the World Wildlife Fund.
