Not sure if this story belongs to this community
But also WTF.
Keir Johnston, whose mother-in-law attended his wedding in a blue-and-black dress that went viral for looking white and gold to millions of viewers, was arrested and charged Monday with the attempted murder of his wife, according to The Daily Mail and other media outlets.
Johnston, 38, is accused of several instances of domestic violence against his wife, Grace, over a period of 11 years, culminating in the alleged murder attempt in his efforts to exert control over her, according to court records. The charges refer to incidents from April 2019 to March 2022.
The thing is, the dress went viral, not the people in the wedding. I have never seen a photo of the bride and groom, nor even a photo of the face of the woman who wore the dress. I don’t see how the dress itself going viral could be a nightmare for the people in the wedding.

Yeah, she wasn’t even in the photo that went viral. It was of the dress hanging in a shop.
