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.
I can’t even imagine what it would be like to go viral and honestly it’s one of my nightmares. Because knowing my luck it would be for something incredibly stupid that would haunt me at every serious turn of my life. “Aren’t you that dude that married dress girl?” would get SO old so fast. But no reason to kill her!
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.
I can understand charging at your mother in law for wearing a white dress at your wedding. But obviously not actually trying to harm someone - and especially not your wife!
It sounds like the dress has nothing to do with the violence and was only mentioned to draw attention to the article. The guy’s a wife beating piece of shit.

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

Especially white and gold…
I saw the black/blue initially, looked away, and have never been able to see it again.
I only ever saw it as blue and gold.
I’m the opposite. I saw it as white and gold, saw a picture of it in better lighting, and now can only see it as blue and black
