She wasn’t. Most people saw her for who she was, hence why her press was so mixed. She tried many times to rehabilitate her image, going on Strictly didn’t lead to a change of job options. I think she tried to venture into other areas but her love of the limelight, her dress sense and need to date much younger men was what she was mostly known for. The love island crowd liked her but tbf this wasn’t exactly a stretch for her.

Saw that. Nothing more yet. I don't blame him tbh. He seems to have kept very quiet about it all and has tried to move on with his life. It'll be interesting to see if he says more today!

Some of the recent comments on his posts are vile.

Just saw some of them. People are such idiots! Doing exactly to him what they say killed Caroline.

Loved her on strictly

I really don't blame him, her mother has caused all of this and Caroline is now remembered as someone with massive MH issues and mixed up in a potential DV case, and that is absolutely what she feared the most.

I always liked Caroline and thought she was treated appallingly by the press, i thought she really shone on strictly she was the same age as me and I was so shocked at her passing
I can't watch the doc but from reading here it sounds like it's not been done sensitively

I don’t find Lewis particularly likable or anything but he doesn’t have to be. He is guilty of being assaulted in his sleep and phoning the police in a moment of panic and concern and then regretting it and not cooperating. Why shouldn’t be come out now and have his say when he’s the one being abused and targeted and everyone is acting like Caroline was the victim and he the perp

I sometimes compare Flack to Tara Palmer Tomkinson. Both troubled women with addiction issues, both had lots of boyfriends but never settled down and married so were kind of seen as 'tragic' figures for that reason. Neither of them especially talented but both likeable with quirky personalities and a love of the limelight. Both obviously died young and never seemed to find true contentment. I do think a lot of press regarding people like these 2 and many others is downright misogyny, I mean how on earth can an unmarried woman with no children be happy? (Deep eye roll).

Christine is in complete denial and I can understand why, but it's not healthy to keep eulogising her daughter who clearly had severe issues throughout her life.

 

[BugglyWuggly]

In the documentary Christine said it was Caroline's sister Jody that found her and tried to work on her. She just said she went there with two others (obviously Lou and her father but not named) But Lou said it was her father that found her first and tried to resuscitate her.

So who's telling the truth there?

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

I wouldn’t believe Christine’s version of ‘the truth’

 

[Honeystar]

After watching the documentary I just feel conflicted on it all and like most things, none of it is black and white. Was she clearly troubled and needed real intervention to get her drinking and emotions in control? Yes. Should she have been punished for hitting Lewis? Yes. But I also do believe that the police wanted to make an example of her and the press hounded her in her final weeks too. The saddest part for me really is that once lockdown and covid hit it would have all gone away fast, the press would have moved on with a pandemic to focus on, the paps wouldn’t be able to be stationed outside her house and she would have had the chance to really step back and get the help she needed. Ultimately it’s incredibly tragic and I feel terribly for her mum, but she needs to find a way to move on and put this behind her for her sake and the sake of her remaining children.

 

[ahtisyourself]

You have to give Lewis credit where it’s due to be fair. In the five years since her death, I don’t think he’s ever done even one media interview or sob story or even shared anything online about what went on or divulged any details. There’s many a z lister who would have milked what happened for all it’s worth and done interviews galore, written books and completely capitalised on what went on. His biggest crime really seems to be moving on with his life?

That’s what I find the most sad. If she’d just attended the trial in the March, regardless of the outcome Covid hit within a matter of weeks and people were entirely preoccupied with that. They’d have moved on and forgotten about it and she’d have likely got work again and been able to put it behind her but hindsight is a wonderful thing x

I think with her mental health probs, she just couldn’t see a way to come back from it. It was like in the first channel 4 doc about her, her friends said how poorly she took splitting up from someone. They were like it’s not that bad, but to her it absolutely was!

I still don’t get how someone who has had 2 attempts on their life in a matter of weeks was not detained for her own safety.

Also surely after a suicide attention the night before, her court appearance could have been rearranged! She looked absolutely vacant during the proceedings!

Plus, if she had been forced to seek treatment for her mental health problems, and possibly her drinking, that would have gone a long way in making the public understand and eventually move past what she had done.

 

[Honeystar]

Perhaps they did of course, but I’m surprised those around didn’t use that as a way to convince her to get help - it sounds awful but saying to her “look if you check yourself in somewhere it will get you some sympathy” could well have helped convince her, and would have kept her safe. Hindsight is a powerful thing though I guess.
