    She had a relationship with one of the one D lads aswell when he was barely legal.

    I didn't believe that for one second.
    The paps got her walking up to his house with a pillow, come on!
    It was clearly a publicity stunt for one or both of them.
    After reading Max Clifford's book years ago, I'd take anything in the media with a pinch of salt.

    Shocked and saddened to hear. Such a beautiful vivacious woman. I guess she had hidden demons and nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. RIP

    Bullied to do this by the media

    I genuinely don't know who she is.

    Have to admit. I never heard of her before either.

    And if I told the police you diddled me when I was a kid, would that make it a fact? No, it wouldn't. It would be an allegation.

    He made an allegation against Ms. Flak.

    Until a court rules on it, it's just an allegation.

    By the way, I don't doubt she did hit him with the lamp, but that still doesn't make it a fact.

    I totally agree with you but I'm not saying what he said was a fact. What I'm saying is factual is he actually said it/rang 999.

    The sad thing is, I just read she’d been on her own a lot and struggling recently and as someone who also struggles this is a time you need a friend or family member to visit you, not text or think ah they’ll be ok, because posting on the internet that you’re heartbroken after the event is cowardly, if you have a gut feeling something is wrong, act on it.

    This has come as a bit of a shock. I didn't watch Caroline in anything other then SCD, but of course she was in the media on a regular basis. However - I strongly believe she didn't actually intend to kill herself - more like a cry for help that sadly went too far.

    Such a pity, and such a waste of life. I hope she is at peace now. RIEP

    how was she found, was it reported?

    Found by her father. She took her own life after a friend who was staying with her stepped out to the shops -

    Caroline Flack killed herself when worried friend who was staying with her 'popped to the shops': Father of ex-Love Island presenter, 40, found her body in London flat hours after she was told court case for 'assaulting boyfriend' would go ahead

    Building and basing a life around essentially 'what other people think about you' is a perilous undertaking if it all goes tits up and you turn from Golden Boy/Girl into Whipping Boy for the media and a load of tossers sat in their houses posting and tweeting s**te about you, (none of whom have even met you.)

    There are celebs who vanish for a bit then 'get back in' via hosting a radio show some time later, shame this wasn't the outcome here. RIP

    Unbelievable disrespect still being shown in that post alone, some people /outlets have no shame.

    What are you referring to as disrespectful?

    Its a life that may seem glamouros and exciting on the outside but I'd bet few of them are actually happy. Look at Schofield recently whose life is basically a **** show, I know Davina has had some major personal problems but seems almost addicted to living her life in the public eye.

    The part that you know I'm referring to which as you are choosing to play games with.

    There’s no indication what you’re referring to there as disrespectful? I copied the heading from the Daily Mail. There’s nothing disrespectful with it as far as I could see, that’s why I asked you what you were referring to, because you’re still unclear about it.

    Click the link and you're common sense should hopefully prevail, I posted the link so I didn't have to author an entirely new article.

    I’m honestly not going to waste any more time trying to figure out what you think is disrespectful about my post, it could be fcuking anything for all I know, and to be honest having asked politely once, I couldn’t care less now what you think is or isn’t ‘respectful’.

    This is an awful thing to have happen to anyone regardless of whether they are famous or not. I can’t fathom how Caroline flacks family and friends are feeling. I just can’t.

    Hopefully this awful event might focus peoples minds on the drawbacks of social media(there are positives to it don’t get me wrong) and the cancel culture. I mean IMO social media has given the gob****es and pond scum who in the past had to put effort into talking ****e can do it on Twitter in an instant. I mean in the year 2000 if you had an issue with someone you had to put effort into it and most likely do it face to face.

    And may she rest in peace.

    It’s hardly surprising given who it is but The Sun have been deleting all their negative stories relating to Caroline Flack from their website. Utter scum.

    What was the story that they posted yesterday. I've heard other media outlets having a go at them (ironically Sky, given what happened with SweepyFace), for something about a Valentine's card, but I can't find it anywhere.

    What did The Sun exactly say about her?

    Leaving aside the obvious tragedy, the outpouring of vapid platitudes from the celeb circuit on twitter would make you sick. Our own Maura Higgins with the "thoughts and prayers" tweet, why even bother if that's all you have to say.

    Because fools always have something to say

    . Many people die each day but what makes this one so unique
    The scum media (sun and daily muck) targeted her and bullied her.

    Time for the media to have serious controls brought in.

    Independent group here are going down the same scum path.

    I didn't once say anything was disrespectful about any of your posts sir.

    Just looking at some of the puke being posted on twitter by tabloid journalists and commentators claiming Caroline was a "friend" and wringing their hands about the awfulness of it all, tempts me greatly to hop on an overnight sail/rail to London and beat them to extinction using their own cheap shoes.

    Also ITV needs to be shut down until its senior management prove they are to be trusted with grown-up decision making.

    she took a lot of flack for cheating on her hubby with Harry styles

    Am I missing something here? She allegedly assaulted her boyfriend who later dropped charges and still loved her. She lost her job and had a court case coming up. Media posted negative stuff about her.

    No doubt it’s a tough few weeks but a bit extreme to kill yourself over. It would have blown over and she easily would have rebuilt her career. Part of been in the public eye. Maybe a lot of mental health issues?

    Just a shame, so sad. I always really liked her as well.

    Let's see how you cope when a few million people read alleged stories about you online, true or not.
