Caroline Flack

[bagafreebee]

Imagine starting a new relationship and you have to sign a non disclosure legal document whats that about she is not exactly an A lister?

 

[Coconutshy]

Fresh blood is usually bright and head injuries bleed profusely. I hate how everyone is so quick to try and get her off the hook. If it was the other way around we would be dragging the mans name through the dirt.

Sooo I recently went on a date with someone who knows her... I thought it was BS but when I stalked his Instagram she’s liked all of his photos and he said she’s the craziest person he’s ever met ... like an absolute mess, drugs... parties all night every night... everything we suspected is 100% true!

with all due respect we don’t actually know what she ‘did’. Shes not been charged which means there is no case to answer.

Yes, she is a grade A tit, but making assumptions and saying she needs to be charged isnt helpful in some ways.

With all due respect I suggest you read the news correctly. She has been charged with assault by beating and has a court date set for end of December.

She should’ve taken the Ant McPartlin route of saying she has problems with addiction, getting into rehab, getting professional help. Would’ve helped her personal rehabilitation and career image rehabilitation like Ant. As well as genuinely being the help she clearly needed. We could be hearing a different story, which would’ve been preferable

Like anyone who suffers with addiction and MH issues, it’s always going to end one of two ways.
you could be on prime time TV or work in the local Asda.
mental health doesn’t discriminate.
and if you don’t seek help, unfortunately you will probably never rid yourself of your deamons.
this isn’t an argument about who’s to blame, it’s a lesson in how quickly you can lose it all if you’re not looking after your mental health.
her public downfall was the least of her troubles, it looks like the real fight was in her own head.

Deffo cocaine related.
Flack does love the gak!

Editing to say:- I have friends who work in TV, and they see her off her tits and hear stories in their “circles”.

I agree with the most liked comment on her latest post.

 

[Uhohno]

You are missing the point, if he was injured by her why then yes he was right to ring the cops for his own protection and get treated why is he NOW going around publicly saying that she didn't hurt him and claiming that she is the love of his life. If she attacked him and he thought she was going to murder him, should he not keep his mouth shut until the trial?

You clearly don't understand abuse. I was abused (sexually and physically) as a teenager, the police got involved after me disclosing the abuse. To the police and everyone else I said I had lied, I pretended I never said certain things, I sat in police video interviews and lied, I lied to social workers. I thought my abuser loved me and I did everything I could do to protect him and I made myself out to be the bad person. I made stories up about how certain pieces of evidence came about. Victims will go to any length to protect their abuser if they are still being abused. My old best friend was beaten up while 32 weeks pregnant by her boyfriend, she thankfully managed to ring the police and ambulance at that point she told them what happened. The next day at the hospital the police came to take a statement and she said it was a miss understanding, that she had tripped at the top of the stairs and fell down them. Sadly you cannot believe a victim when they change their story. Abuse is horrific and it's never just physical. It's also emotional/psychological, the power the abuser holds over you is insane, you aren't yourself anymore, you are an extension of the abuser, you are their puppet. For me, if the police, social services, teachers and youth workers listened and accepted my lies I would probably be dead right now.

No I don't think anyone should attack a 'victim' but he has behaved very oddly posting the bedroom pic etc, particularly when he stated it WASN'T his blood, giving the impression it's hers, fuelling rumours etc. I am making no excuse for CF, given my opinion of her before this was low and that she was a manipulator. I have no doubt the allegations of violence are correct.
Having sat in a 3 week trial as a jury member of women that were abused and raped by one man whilst in a relationship with him over a 30 year period, I've heard first hand how a victim can change stories to protect an aggressor before (if they can ever) be strong enough and free enough to break away. He's either that or seeing his meal ticket gp down the drain has made him panic. I have not one ounce of sympathy for Flack. Not one bit.

We can't judge a victims behaviour, everyone reacts differently, in this case it's national headlines, to protect her he must make it public. Some of the things I did looking back was bat shit crazy.

 

[Oohthedrama]

Dawn O’Porter sounds like the friend you’d want to have tbh

far too many celebrity “friends” run at the sign of a scandal, or do the opposite and go in like vultures on prey.

 

[Hallobrit]

Let's be honest, she courted the media when it was adventagous to her and complained when it revealed the darker side of her life. Wouldn't be shocked if the official verdict ended up being accidental overdose tbh. But if she did indeed take her own life, then its a sad situation. But it's a mental health issue and has little to do with gossip. Shit happens in people's lives.Some people grow from it and get stronger, some people need help to get through the darkness. No one is to blame if she didn't seek help or take help offered to her. Not her ex or her family. I know this all sounds horribly cold, I don't mean it to. But she wasn't a victim imo

Twitter

 

[Beadyeye]

also it’s always someone whow ‘knows someone’ else who is connected. It’s never a direct connection.

Probably not going to admit that you’re a drug dealer on Instagram

 

[frustrated]

This is what frustrates me. If this was the other way round and the female party was saying it didn't happen that way, everyone would say that they are just protecting the abuser. It's no different. Most people don't call the Police the first time something happens and if they do, they tend to retract allegations because they are being manipulated, and don't see the bigger picture long term. I get that couples argue, but Caroline's public response to this shows no remorse whatsoever, which seems odd and concerning to me. Just my opinion.

The fact the case is being prosecuted despite Lewis Burton saying he doesn't support it shows the Crown is taking measures against potential coercive control seriously, as it should. If a man had done what Flack is alleged to have done to a woman there would be much more outrage.

 

[Lollipop19]

Anyone else feel like the boyfriend might actually be enjoying a bit of publicity?

 

[tippingpoint]

the woman is dead and I hate going back to this but.

this thread started because she was arrested for domestic abuse, that case was a serious case, and as others have pointed out if it had been a male that was arrested he’d have been dragged over hot coals by the public and the media.

Caroline received the same scrutiny, and I’m glad they treated her case in the same way they would a male despite the tragic ending.
Abuse is abuse.

but let me ask this, next time a celebrity fucks up, next time they’re caught with an underage minor, or caught getting abusive with their partner, should that not be reported on *just incase* the person involved might take their life.

And i’m not condoning any abuse sent to her, her family or friends.
but the conversation around her arrest and her actions needed to be held, despite how it’s turned out it NEEDED to be held so men and women know domestic violence is not ok and will not be tolerated anywhere, famous or not.

on another note it boils my piss seeing influencers using this as an excuse to drag gossip forums because we keep THEM in line.

such a pathetic thing to do on the back of someone’s death.

The influencers are really getting to me too. Caroline was a presenter and media personality. She didn’t share every aspect of her life online every day of her life. She got papped when just going about her business, she had headlines and stories written about her by major media outlets. Some will be true some will be lies of course. She did something wrong and got dragged. She was an actual celebrity. There’s such a clear difference between her and these influencers.

Yet here they are begging people to never say bad things about them online when they put every detail of their lives on the internet. All day every day. 60+ stories of their every moment as part of the job they have willingly chosen to do in order to make money. I agree don’t ever PM someone or leave a comment saying nasty and horrible things. Don’t bombard someone so that their phone blows up. That is horrible. Places like here though? People have opinions and they don’t have to read. Also I’ve said it before but we are not living under Stalin. You can’t live you life policing people so they only ever say nice things about you. That’s complete fantasy.

 

[Frankensooze]

I blame the endless detective shows for the inevitable conspiracy theories around everything. Sigh.
Look, he called 999 and said she hit him over the head with a lamp. She admitted it under caution. There are recordings. And now there is a graphic pic.
Maybe she did hack at herself, maybe some of the blood is hers. But let's be honest, she hit him. Not the first bf she's hit either. He needs to run like the wind away from her and her toxic violent ways.

 

[Coffeefirst19]

I really hope it’s not Maura! She doesn’t deserve it! The way she forced herself on tommy in the villa. She’s disgustung! If that was a man we would be branding him a predator! What’s the difference? It was sooooo awkward to watch!! Forcing herself on him and not taking the hint! Throwing herself at any male that breathed regardless of who it hurt. She literally didn’t give a shite! Banged on about being a girls girl too lol. She’s a desperate joke that loves attention! Absolute grimmmmmmeeeeyyyyyyyyy

 

[caitlinbullen]

Her love life was a shitstorm and she did herself no favours whatsoever in the aftermath of the incident with her boyfriend, but dear lord how tragic for it to end in the loss of her life. Regardless of the negative opinions many had of her, she was a woman with every reason to go on to have a long and happy life and in the grand scheme of things the incident with her boyfriend before Christmas was quite insignificant. It just shows that for all the we are encouraged to look up to these celebrities and envy their lifestyles, there is often nothing to admire. Poor lady and her family.

 

[lamaitresse]

I didn't really have an opinion about Caroline (as I don't watch Love Island or anything she's on, really) but all I can say is that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. This didn't need to happen. I'm so sorry for her, and her friends and family.

 

[Spilttea]

I really hope Laura W does a good job. I don’t want to see cazza back on my tv screen. One trick pony and a tired one at that. She should have been relegated to some regional radio show after her awful main presenter gig on Xfactor.

She is barely in LI and they just wheel her out like Liz McDonald on a night out in tiger tiger every week or so and do that cringe slo mo of her strutting in. Her type of “work” deffo has an upper age and lifestyle limit and that coupled with her increasingly desperate behaviour should have landed her the chop ages ago. If a male presenter carried on like she does/has, not only would they be a laughing stock but they would be universally considered creepy and past it.
