I'd like to think she wasn't friends with this idiot but she did have a relationship with Andrew Brady and that has tarnished the peculiar sadness I've been feeling over this persons passing. I didn't watch Love Island, X Factor, Celebrity jungle, or follow her online so it's only Strictly where I'd have been aware of her and of course she won it. Only been a week or so but for some reason she is at the forefront of my mind? Keep seeking out more and more now she's gone. It's like I was happy to know she was around, that was enough. Very strange behaviour for me, I haven't lost a loved one ridiculous to keep getting teary eyed. Perhaps Cipriani and her would've been a better match, I think he's right it was largely embarrassment she couldn't bare. I just wish she could've distracted herself and got through it, not resorting to this. Caroline Flack what have you done to me?! We'll be having words if there's an After -sun- life!

For the record, ask any decent social worker why the CPS decided to prosecute anyway and also to stop her and the victim (her boyfriend) from having contact is because when two people have been in an abusive relationship it is common for one of the people involved to be under the control of the other and maybe so scared of that person that they will say they do not want to press charges. When it is the man that has abused a woman this is taken as read by people, but when the boot is on the other foot in these times of equality, for some reason these well read journo's seem to forget this well known fact.

The CPS were applying best practice. The 3 month restriction that had been put in place is often to allow the victim time to recover and realise that they are being manipulated and like you stated; under control.

Marian Hanson Confidence Coach I can understand her friends and colleagues having a positive reaction when talking about her but we must treat domestic abuse cases equally to send over the right message to how domestic abuse is dealt with . You can’t make exceptions for celebrity’s which is how the coverage comes across . If the police and CPS feel they have enough evidence to prosecute then who is anyone to question that ? In the end her boyfriend did want her to face the court which was very noble and loving of him and often happens in domestic abuse cases were the partner attacked doesn’t want to press charges but that still doesn’t make it right if she did attack him and why did he phone the police in the first place ? Again it’s very sad she took her own life , but celebrity pals should not defend her by attacking the police and the CPS who were only doing the right thing and treating every alleged domestic abuse case as equal .

The law has been changed to prosecute regardless of the victims statement due to domestic abuse victims in the past being too scared to press charges. This law protects men too as now we acknowledge abuse of men. She would have been found guilty with mitigating circumstances. She was throwing things around and it hit him in the head. Regardless she shud have had her privacy like anyone else. I'm sure if u plead guilty you don't have to go to trial. I'm sure she did so why was there going to be a trial? Her boyfriend didn't help matters saying she was trying to kill him but I think that was a " she's throwing everything around the house I'm sure she's trying to kill me" but he said it on record....context is everything

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

Criminals don' t deserve privacy... She brought about that whole situation, through her actions alone...

[@harryirene1]

I think 'alleged' criminals deserve privacy, but it was pretty clear in this case she was guilty. Can't do the time, don't do the crime..

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

@@harryirene1 I agree... I think it should be innocent until proven guilty. But many times people are condemned in the court of public opinion, like with Johnny Depp. He was accused of domestic violence by his then-wife Amber Heard, and the media ran with it. Now that his his ex-wife has been exposed as the real abuser in their relationship, the media doesn't acknowledge that. It's sickening...

Scott Peacock Why are you grieving for someone you never met? Virtue signalling much. Why should people have respect for a celebrity who physically abused her partner ? And Caroline wasnt a household name at all. There are almost 70 million people living in the uk. Only around 4.5 Million people watched the show in each week in 2020. The show is for really dumb people in my opinion. I never heard of Caroline Flack until i heard about her hitting her boyfriend. Its sad that a women ended her life. But why pretend you care about someone you dont even know and never met? Thats just weird. Plenty of people you never met commit suicide every day. Do you cry for them too ?

@@harryirene1 Their are injustices on both sides, both for male and female victims. The facts in this case will and have come to light. Her ex would have been supported, if he continued with the "she's trying to kill me" statement. However, he's now said that this was out of context and has repeatedly said she didn't abuse him and that the picture of him that night, showed no marks of injury. Only Caroline's blood found at the scene. So, in this case, it's not straightforward to say her intentions were to hurt him or just herself.

[@harryirene1]

The point I'm making Jo is there are never all these appeals for new laws when the injustices go against men. There is never any impartiality in these situations, people respond differently based on the sexes of those involved. Had Lewis Burton been arrested and charged with ABH against Caroline Flack, there would be no calls for his privacy, no media black outs, no advocates for 'Burton's Law', guilty or otherwise.
