Laken Snelling had the most ironic Halloween costume last year.
Snelling is the Kentucky cheerleader who is facing serious charges after giving birth to a baby in late August who was found dead in a closet. Snelling has pleaded not guilty to charges of abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant.
Snelling is believed to have tried to hide her pregnancy, and then gave birth in secrecy, with the baby boy dying. According to one news outlet, the pregnancy theme is nothing new for Snelling.
Snelling reportedly dressed up for Halloween last year as a pregnant Kentucky woman.
I’ve seen a lot of comments about this photo and just want to make sure everyone knows this from Halloween 2024. It was a costume thing for the stunt team. They all dressed up. Ironically, Laken Snelling dressed up as a pregnant Kentucky mom.

After dressing up like that, who would have figured she would end up pregnant herself soon thereafter, and even be facing charges related to the matter.
Snelling was released last week on a $100,000 bond. She was ordered to live under house arrest with her parents in Jefferson City, Tenn., without an ankle monitor. She is set to appear in court again on Sept. 26.
Photos and videos have shown Snelling competing with her Kentucky cheer/stunt team a few months ago despite being pregnant.
Many people are shocked seeing #LakenSnelling compete while visibly pregnant. But from my research— under Title IX, pregnant athletes cannot be forced off their team if their doctor clears them to play. Competing during pregnancy isn’t the norm, but it isn’t against the rules… pic.twitter.com/7a6axiSUrS
