Woman goes viral for setting wedding dress on fire in “divorce photoshoot.
Mom of two Lauren Brooke, who asked The Post to use her middle name but not her surname out of “concerns” for her family’s safety, attracted 6 millions viewers — and plenty of critics — to her March 26 video.
“I’ve been called a narcissist and attention-seeking, and people are saying I was the problem,” Brooke said. “The photo shoot wasn’t celebrating the divorce itself – it was celebrating the fact that I survived it.”
Brooke, 31, fell in love with her future husband when the two attended the same Baptist church growing up.
The young couple tied the knot in October 2012.
But the marriage deteriorated – in part because of the demands of her unnamed hubby’s job in the Army National Guard.
“It can be difficult to be a military wife…The pressures from his job put a strain on the marriage,” she lamented. The young couple tied the knot in October 2012.

In North Carolina, a couple must be legally separated for a year and a day before they can get a divorce. After nine years of rocky matrimony, in September 2021, a fed-up Brooke filed separation papers, but still hoped to work things out.
The year was “an emotional rollercoaster” and ended with the divorce being finalised in January.
Things really got hot once Brooke uploaded the pictures to TikTok.
“This screams red flag,” one person slammed.
“Someone is being bitter,” another blasted.
Brooke said she received messages from people calling her fat — “which is hilarious because I’m a size 2.”
“A lot of people think I wanted revenge, and I was like, ‘If I wanted revenge, there’s a million other ways I could have done that.’”
