Markeljc documented the building of her Michonne costume on Facebook, but then deleted the photo of the completed project after users began flooding her page and Tumblr with angry comments.
Many users are reblogging a popular post full of criticism of Markeljc for wearing blackface.
On Monday, Markeljc responded to the controversy with a Facebook status explaining that her Michonne costume wasn't racist and didn't qualify as blackface.
Markeljc explained that all the comments she's been getting are just from people taking things out of context. "People told me I am a racist because I did blackface. I never had the thought to insult someone especially not dark skinned," she said.
