Viral Dress Illusion Creator Arrested for Attempted Spousal Murder
Keir Johnston, the man behind the viral blue-black or gold-white dress illusion in 2015, has been charged with attempting to murder his wife. He is accused of an 11-year campaign of domestic violence and coercive control, culminating in an incident last March where he allegedly pinned her to the ground and compressed her neck. Keir denies all allegations, including assaulting his wife and brandishing a knife. The couple gained fame during the dress debate and appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show." The case will proceed to trial in 2024.
