Caroline Flack

[FunnyFuneral]

My husband has had major mental health problems, not too far from Caroline’s, and the seeds are sown in childhood. Friends or partners you meet as an adult are not responsible for your baseline mental health. I’ve tried to help him so many times and ultimately he can only help himself with the support of a trained professional. Putting all this weight on her female friends and blaming them for leaving is not fair; I’m not a huge Lou Teasdale fan, but she said on a recent podcast that her Dad was saying it was too much (the amount of time she was spending looking after Caroline) and she needed to have a day out with her young daughter and extended family (too right!). A single parent should not be expected to keep leaving their child to nurse a 40 year old lady making bad life choices.

I don't know anything about her friend Lou Teasdale, who obviously tried to help and support her to the detriment of her own family and child.
As a former Samaritan, it really irks me when a family try to put the blame and responsibility on someone else for the death of their loved one by suicide.
Only one person made that choice, and as we can see, if they are serious about it will do it when they have the opportunity.
So unfair to blame her friends when they were there doing their best and trying to support her.
It's all very unfair, and unkind towards the friends who tried to be there for her, and Mum should wind her neck in and have a little think about where she was at the time.
Absolutely not blaming her either as I said earlier, only one person was responsible for Caroline's death.
You may be able to tell that I have lost a loved one myself to suicide. Never a thought of putting the blame on anyone else for it.
It's very hard

Thank you for being a Samaritan. They've saved my life before and I'll always be grateful

The documentary comes out on November 10

Was her friend Molly who was with her the night prior to her passing away involved in the production of this documentary? Think this explains the fall out with Lou & Molly.

How do you mean? Does Lou not approve of the doc?

 

[BugglyWuggly]

The trailer for the new documentary is a strange one. Hearing her personal voice notes when she's distressed just feels wrong.

I’m also annoyed as I feel they are going to portray her as some great tragic character. When she was in fact a narcisist who abused people

 

[GrunkaLunka]

Such a distasteful documentary. I hope Caroline's victims are being well supported, I can't help thinking this will be really hard on them.

 

[Pinkstuff]

If I was Caroline's closest friend, I wouldn't approve of this documentary at all, especially if it was my father that was the first to see Caroline. It looks like Molly is involved in producing this documentary which is in extremely poor taste.

 

[Trafalgar]

Her mum was on This Morning yesterday peddling the documentary snd she literally blamed everyone else but Caroline. The police, CPS, boyfriends, friends etc.....

As a parent I get it is the most tragic thing outliving your children, but she has to look at what Caroline did objectively.

 

[Katienana]

I dont think that, as a parent, she has to be objective about her daughter. But keep it private! The problem is the media exploiting someone's grief, stirring up emotions, and because it is so emotive they can't exactly ask any tough questions. Just like Carolinevwas too fragile and unstable to be in the public eye, her mum shouldn't be either. The absolute irony of it all, learnt nothing from a really sad situation.

Caroline would HATE what her mother is doing, no?

she didn’t want all her business out there!

 

[Beverley Macker]

The media have a vested interest in making Caroline’s mum look bad though tbf, it takes the heat off of them.

 

[esoes]

Just saw the trailer. Abhorrent.

She makes it quite easy for them though.

That she does

 

[thegrumpos]

I do agree that the media ripped her to shreds as they love a fallen woman, however we know they are rum bags and not that has changed since the phone hacking days. They love the downfall of a celeb especially if it’s a young attractive one.
CF knew this, it was the world she inhabited and she courted the press as needed, as all celebs do.
It would have passed though, a more resilient person would have taken some time off, the charges would have likely been dropped, and come back later. Many careers have bounced back, short of being Gary Glitter we’ve seen some right wronguns resurface after scandals - it wasn’t THAT bad in the world of celeb imo.
But she wasn’t robust, she was extremely fragile. It’s really really sad. I can totally understand why her mother feels there is a score to be settled. I don’t think it’ll help, we all know the tabloids are scumbags, this isn’t new information

a documentary about mental health in young women would have been a more fitting legacy. The shortage of care, support and access to treatment etc.

I think her mother should let it rest now. She seems determined to blame everyone but Caroline for her death. Her accusations of her friends not being there for Caroline when she herself wasn’t is something else. She also fails to address that Caroline had form for physically attacking her boyfriends and on the night in question she’d hit her, sleeping defenceless boyfriend over the head with a lamp, she could have killed him! The CPS were right to pursue it. Caroline took her life, not through guilt but because she knew what she did was so awful that her career was in all probability finished. That’s what she couldn’t cope with.

 

[Beverley Macker]

I’m don’t think the lamp thing was true was it? It was a phone she hit him with I thought?

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

I’m don’t think the lamp thing was true was it? It was a phone she hit him with I thought?

He told the police he thought it was a lamp, she says it was her phone. I don’t suppose we’ll ever know
