Husband of Wife in

A disturbing update to one of the world’s most famous viral moments. Remember: Is it blue and black or white and gold - the frenzy on social media from 2015? It was the dress that broke the internet. Now, the husband of the wife who started the viral trend is accused of attempted murder, Inside Edition Digital confirmed. Multiple outlets are reporting that Keir Johnston is accused of trying to murder his wife, Grace, by repeatedly assaulting her, threatening her with a knife and attempting to strangle her. Keir has denied the allegations.

[@majorfriedrice]

That meme literally made people insane. In college I heard people screaming at each other through the halls of the study about the dress. A girl ran up the stairs and asked me what color the dress was, and when I said white and gold, she just screamed in frustration. Super funny.

[@sithriemathela7973]

wait whattt it was that serious????

[@mikadosannoji553]

i understand her frustration because its black and blue

[@Ty-op5xr]

I’m convinced anyone who says it’s white and gold is just lying. I’ve tried to see white and gold but I just can’t.

[@ladymire]

@@Ty-op5xrI promise I’m not lying, I just have horrible eyesight!

[@CC-2020]

Lol

[@heather_doestruecrime]

This is what happened, since they didn’t explain: “Prosecutors allege over nearly 11 years he repeatedly assaulted his wife, Grace, at their home in the Inner Hebrides and, in March 2022, attempted to strangle her, brandished a knife and threatened to kill her….. Charges against Johnson also include he allegedly tried to get into a vehicle she was in and hit her through an open window, as well as another alleged incident where Keir put his wife in a headlock and dragged her out of a pub after she refused to leave with him.” He apparently repeatedly attacked & abused her for 11 years, so it’s safe to say the dress wasn’t the cause..

I suppose what’s even more amazing is that she stayed with him for that long 😐

[@user-fp5vf9qh3i]

He also controlled Her money and wanted proof of everything she spent until he just took complete control and would only give her enough money to buy groceries. It was her own money she earned herself and he told her what she could and couldn’t buy. It was happening years before they got married why didn’t she walk away before or on the actual day of the wedding when he wasn’t with and watching her?

[@AgreeableOnion]

I actually seen both colors. In one picture I saw blue and black, in another, I saw gold and white. There’s two different picture versions of the dress that made their way through social media, it just all depends on which dress you saw. One picture was with the brightness up, the other with the brightness down making it look blue and black.

[@Ena48145]

Look, idk how to say this but this very well could have been me. I first saw the dress as white and gold for a split second and I've only ever been able to see it as black and blue after that. I got into an insane fight with a male who I considered one of my best friends. He could only see white and gold. He told me in front of all of our friends that I was stupid, blind, uneducated, and that I needed help. ALL OVER A DRESS. I had actually just received my bachelors in criminal justice and he was on a break from school to just smoke weed, eat, and drink. I've had many homicidal thoughts over him. I've never gotten over it. He thought he was right and he still does, I guarantee. Truly the worst person I've ever known and it all came out over this dress.

[@DeadSezSo]

Yeah, it's crazy to me how the people that were just enraged and adamant about this dress were always the ones who saw white and gold because the dress is actually black and blue, like it's been proven lol so they got so angry over it but were dead wrong.

I could see the black darker part as maybe being seen as gold since it's satiny and could be a darker metallic taupe goldish color. But for the life of me I can't figure out where people see the blue as white especially with the color white shown around the dress in the flash as an easy color comparison. Was this something to do with some sort of color blindness?

It's really just how you interpret the lighting condition. I can see it both ways. The white and gold is seen when you think the light is behind the dress and it's dark in the front. The black and blue is seen when you think the light is in front of the dress. If you see white and gold, cover the background light and it will make you see the black and blue.
