I know this is going off on a tangent, but I was saying to my partner when watching I’m a celeb - isn’t the difference between how Ant and his troubles were handled by ITV, the media, and even the public and how Caroline was treated absolutely insane?I’m sorry I’m not a believer in violence. But the scenario was he was constantly playing away. She knew! She had that gut feeling (we have all been there) Every time she accused him he told her she was nuts, crazy a physco. Typical gaslighting behaviour. That night she found texts on his phone that proved she was right. She threw his phone at him ! It hit him on the head. I would of done it myself ! Lots of people would. He had a small scrape needing no treatment. (He admitted this himself) he called the police! He did it to hurt her! He can be heard saying “your fucked now” she knew it would be made public. She slit her wrists ! AWFUL! This wasn’t a domestic abuse case this was a case of continual emotional torture and abuse and a girl who cracked and was driven mad!
I know it’s not as cut and dry as that, I know Caroline had her demons and who is to say if a bit more support from ITV or the public would have made a difference, but she was absolutely vilified, lost jobs and troller horrendously because she threw a phone in anger.
Ant DROVE under the influence, caused an accident - which could have been much, much worse and is pure dumb luck that it wasn’t, and is still winning awards and hosting prime time tv shows.
I’m not saying he should have been shown the same treatment, I’m saying she should have been given the same grace.
