A 16-year-old from Indiana who dumped her boyfriend after publicly accusing him of slut shaming her prom dress has finally shared photos of the gown.
Madison Witham posted images of the dark purple open-back dress with a thigh-high slit on Twitter, writing that she’s not going to prom after all.
Witham made headlines earlier this month when she shared a text exchange she claimed was between her and her boyfriend Justice Champion, 19, alluding that she broke up with him over the dress.

But Champion denied the accusations, saying he was wrongly identified and the incident had nothing to do with him.

In the now-deleted tweet, Witham wrote, “So I bought a prom dress and dropped a dude, eventful day,” along with a screenshot of the conversation. In it, Witham shared a black-and-white photo of herself in the prom dress. The boy she was messaging wrote back, “Too much skin, get rid of it and I’ll get you a new one b…you look like a slut b…no offense.”
“I’ll stick with the dress and get myself a new man, byeee,” Witham replied.
The tweet quickly went viral, with people applauding Witham for standing up for herself and dumping her boyfriend. "I put it on Twitter just to expose him and [show] how mean he was to me," Witham told Insider. "I was so surprised when I saw that it went viral because I did not even mean for it to go viral."
Witham’s dad, Kevin, spoke to The Daily Mail about the situation, publicly revealing the mystery boyfriend’s name. “My daughter's ex-boyfriend's name is Justice Champion, he is a 19-year-old boy who lives in a nearby town. In the past I met him a few times and I was really impressed by him. Justice graduated from high school last year. His father is a local policeman in the area,” Kevin said.
Someone else on Twitter shared an alleged text conversation with Witham in which she named Champion as the mystery boy, as well.
But since Champion’s name was leaked, the teen is standing up for himself, claiming the text exchange wasn’t between him and Witham. “Nothing like being the target of false news,” Champion wrote on Twitter. “DM me and I’ll show you how our REAL conversation went.”
Champion told Fox News that the viral messages had nothing to do with him. He also shared screenshots of what he claims are the real text conversation between himself and Witham. (Justice Champion)

Others on Twitter are backing up Champion's claims that he was falsely accused, saying Witham just wanted the fame. Her dad, Kevin, told the Daily Mail that “Madison is a strong young woman and wasn't expecting all of the media attention she has garnered from all of this. But she is happy with the amount of followers she is getting on Instagram.”
