I'm so sorry you went through that. You are right, when you've been through a traumatic experience it's all in the moment. So easy to look back with hindsight and see where things could've been handled differently but at the time we do what we can to survive.
Thank you it definitely is. In hindsight I know I should of left the first time he hurt me. But I never expected to be treated the way I was. Some times we stay with the wrong person because we feel we have to.
Its not an either or situation, she might have given them snippets but she was definitely bullied and harassed by the papers/ wider media as well. Papers like the Sun and the Mail went to town on her.
You’re very brave thank you for sharing, bless you! I’m glad you’re all ok!
You can’t run a proper, transparent justice system behind close doors and in secret. It also helps us as a society to know that those who are accused of breaking the law are dealt with justly. Unfortunately a by product of this is a prurient media but then we are all to blame to the extent that there is huge public interest when the rich and famous apparently fall from grace. Bad news sells and soaps like Eastenders do well because the public lap up the negatives in life.
Unfortunately for her she lived her life in the public eye. Made herself a very good living from it and reaped the rewards of all positive media/ public attention. If I on my measly salary, and with zero interest in putting myself out their in the public to make money, committed a crime I should and would expect to be named and shamed, lose my job etc. Many criminals get named publicly,and court listings are open to public. Many mere mortals would stand to lose their careers, family, lifesltyle and respect etc. Caroline lived by the sword and she new fully the consequences of what she did,and how it would be portrayed in the media. These celebrities can not expect to make livings via public/media when it suits them. They live a very privileged life, and are in many cases role models! is it so hard for them to expect to live a law abiding life one that does not involve partying drugs and alcohol misuse
.Also she admitted she did it then lied, which is why she ended up in a worse position. IMO many celebrities are put on a pedestal, and treated differently to their own benefit in many scenarios.I hope he gets turned down flat if he tries that.The guys a scumbag.
The Scum & Daily Fail will be all over him in a heartbeat unfortunately.
Pretty sure it was front page of The Sun first then Lewis posted about it because everyone was speculating about the blood.
Yeah the sun posted on Hogmany I’m sure and Lewis the next day or so.
Sorry, I didn’t word it well - I was saying the way I personally first had seen it, with no warning or anything it came on his stories. As in his retaliation just reposted the photo to more people. Then the papers reported that he had mentioned it, thus rerunning the story.
This is what I was getting at. She was apparently so angry with her two closest friends for calling the emergency services after she threatened suicide because she feared the media hearing about it. How much more damage did Lewis’ Insta story do, compared to that? I cannot see why he would have shared the image on social media, after it had been published in the sun. They must have been in contact in some way? But his sharing of that image and his caption only made her situation worse surely? That she was still apparently in love with him after he shared it, having sent the original image to an ex (maybe the one she thought he was cheating with?) speaks tragic volumes about her self worth.
Wow. Do you know who the friend was?
Yes she would have possibly lost her career anyway but at the end she’d be alive, getting better and able to move on with her life. All that money and fame and people around yet nobody advised on how to handle a very unwell person? Mental illness is still so so misunderstood it’s crazy.thing is though you can’t just rock up at a hospital with someone and demand to have them sectioned. It doesn’t work like that. Her friends couldn’t have saved her from herself - it’s not their fault. It’s just a sad, tragic situation.It’s all just really really sad and inevitable as by this point she seemed ill to the point of no return, I say to the point of no return because of who she surrounded herself with. I know people were trying to help her but this could have been avoided, she should not have ever been alone in a flat that ill. Personally I would have got her out somehow and called taken her to hospital myself to get her sectioned. Yes you would probably be deceiving her to get her there but needs must
I know.. I have actually done this with someone and experienced it a few times. It’s definitely not their fault. She just seemed unwell enough by this point to be sectioned, from what I have seen and read.
So you think drunk driving a car that could kill or maim many people is better behaviour than throwing a phone at someone? He was covered in Caroline’s blood, not his own.
