Caroline Flack

[Justdishingthetea]

okay so i may get totally utterly scrutinised for this

ok its sad shes gone and committed suicide so we think HOWEVER

if this was a man everyone would be saying he was weak he was a woman beater he should rot in hell hes an abuser etc etc so why are all the tissues out for Caroline fair enough there was no proof HOWEVER again if this was a man everyone would be saying somthing completly diffrent no diffrent then when these sex abuse allegations come out everyone defends the victim i just feel its all a little bit sexist prepared for all the hate im gonna get lol

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

Totally. I would have had more sympathy for her if she admitted she had issues with her mental health. It could have done her a lot of favours from a PR front. Taken a year out and really got to grips with things and then come back with a completely different image. Her management should have really pushed her to rehab. I think people in the spot light really have very little real friends, unable to trust many people and she must have been incredibly lonely.

So sad. ITV must be running about right about now. Ant gets a welcome back on stage at awards show. PS is protected. Caroline commits suicide. Absolutely dreadful. This broadcaster is reminding me so much of The Morning Show series right now.

This is what annoyed me about all this, yes she assaulted him BUT we don't know what he did to provoke her(if he did), anyway Ant got welcomed back with open arms and awards and Caroline lost her job.

p.s Im not saying I agree with abuse Im just stating the diffence.

I can’t say I’m shocked. She was clearly a troubled soul going by her private life. Very sad for her family and friends.

I don’t think it’s love island. I think it’s social media and how so many people feel the need to live a lie. It wasn’t really a big thing in the big brother days.

Thats a fair point, but social media and Love Island go hand in hand. You can't be picked to take part unless you have a certain number of followers on Instagram for example, the producers actively encourage the use of it.

The Islanders get the most horrendous abuse. Last night on Twitter Shaughna was getting absolutely ripped the shreads for playing the game that the show encourages.

They can't win.

Do you think it was the same night after she posted them pictures?

 

[Delia Smith]

It's really sad...agree she must have had a lot of complex MH issues and it's so incredibly tragic she took this finite decision. I don't think the gossip sites are to be blamed here. Look at the stuff between Caroline and Prince Harry, then Harry Styles, then Andrew Brady...it was always going to catch the media's attention and she knew that, and this was before sites like Tattle existed.

This is a little bluntly worded but I can essentially agree with your main point - that if this were a man accused of the same, the reporting now would be different.

In light of gender equality having mostly been achieved in today’s society, I felt that the reporting of the initial assault story was very fair. Domestic abuse cannot be excused regardless of sex or gender.

All comments have gone from every post on her Insta already.

I feel sorry for her family. No family should have to go through this, especially a daughter.

 

[eSsExBiRd]

People are a bunch of bleeping hypocrites

Beats a man up - rum of the earth

Commits suicide - such a waste of a beautiful talented life....mental health.....the media.....

If this were a man the outpouring would be completely different

 

[Hallobrit]

Just to note. I'm seeing so many tweets online from the likes of Jameela Jamil etc blaming the press and online trolls etc for this as yet, unconfirmed suicide, but no one has mentioned a note or any kind of communication from Caroline suggesting that is the reason she took her own life, if indeed she did.

Not all. The one with the gold dress people are commenting. I’ve just seen.

 

[Delia Smith]

I hope her boyfriend is getting the support he needs

 

[allthefs]

Unless you were her psychiatrist, you cannot say what mental health issues she had or even hypothesis. Unless you were in the room with them you cannot say what happened that night and nor should you speculate. All I would say that for anyone to take their own life, they are in a desperate situation and can think of no other way to stop the pain they are feeling, for whatever reason.

 

[midnightrose]

Poor Caroline. Obviously very troubled, and heart breaking for her family. May she rest in peace...

 

[DevonDiva]

I hope her boyfriend is getting the support he needs

I suspect he might be next. He will never get over this.

 

[Secretadmirer]

Regardless of what she has or hasn’t done it’s still absolutely awful that she felt this was her only option and that she had nothing to live for. So awful for her family and friends too.

 

[The Devils Arse]

This is what annoyed me about all this, yes she assaulted him BUT we don't know what he did to provoke her(if he did) anyway.

If your best female mate had a lamp over her head from her boyfriend, would you ask her what she did to provoke him?? Domestic violence works both ways, both males and females should be accountable.

 

[DaisyDeluxe]

An absolute tragedy for everyone concerned, her poor family. However, I struggle to see her as a victim. Her ex fiancé had to move to the other side of the world to get away from her and she accepted no responsibility for what happened in December, despite her boyfriend begging the police to come as he was in fear of his life. None of that is the fault of the media or online forums.

She'd have had much more favourable press if she accepted the negative aspects of her own behaviour and retired from the spotlight to get help to address it. And more importantly, she might not have ended up in a place where she killed herself.

I feel sorry for her family. No family should have to go through this, especially a daughter.

No family wants to deal with the trauma and bereavement of a family member choosing to die by suicide be it son, daughter, niece , nephew etc.

Gender is irrelevant.
