A lot of the celebs giving out on Twitter are the same ones need Twitter and the Red Tops to survive.Half of them are not any way in the slightest talanted.

So they basically are biting the hands that feed them.

Love Island is basically porn.If you want to have sex on Telly go on Love Island or Big Brother.And you are sure to be rewarded with a job on This Morning.But you better toe the line,otherwise they will turn on you.

Great point, I don't see how girls can criticise Babestation but obsess over Love Island when they are just as misogynistic as each other. Double standards.

Nail.On.Head.

I went through a difficult time a few years ago, and although my only social media is here and Facebook, I gave them up completely. I was worried about people knowing my whereabouts, judging my actions, and the effect that might have on me. Life went on, and believe me, suffering from mental illness makes you an absolute master at compartmentalising.

Having mental health issues doesn't deplete your intelligence. Social media is not a necessary part of anyone's career. If you put yourself out there, it certainly enhances your earning power- no such thing as bad publicity. Z listers choose to share every minute detail of their lives, because it earns them more than a living. Even when it's off season for Love Island, or the X-Factor, or whatever, they're canvassing. For "normal" people, does anyone notice if you're not active on LinkedIn for a little while? Maybe for someone who's self employed, because technically their earning power is only limited by their own say so. They need to set their own boundaries- if they don't, they are considered fair game.

It is a tragedy for Caroline's family and friends, and condolences are warranted, but the media are the divil we all know. Blaming them and CPS is a total farce, and all of the Zelebrities can f off with their accusations.

They wouldn’t dare because they might actually have to get a job then, and they don’t want that.
It only seems to be the ones at the bottom of the barrel who are crying intrusion.

Actual celebrities seem to know how the industry works and are able to live semi private lives and go about their day without being stalked. And that’s because they actually have something to exchange in return for coverage, be that a movie, music, whatever. All the z listers have to exchange is their love lives and whatever drama they’ve got embroiled into this time — they thrive on the interest it brings and for that they’ve no one to blame but themselves. They’re the ones who bring it to the forefront.

That's not actually true.

Leveson Inquiry: Steve Coogan 'never played the fame game'

The Gutter Scum only know one thing, bottom line, if the story makes them money they don't care what or who they report on.

You just had a Royal leave the family because he was convinced (with good reason) that factions of the British press would endanger his family, specifically his wife.

A month later a young lady of similar age is dead.

The parallels are there, Leveson spelled them out pretty clearly, but it is like that inquiry never actually happened.

I see a lot of abuse being aimed at Laura Whitmore now ( from both sides).
So one dies, time to move onto the next one, is it?
The people giving out then can't seem to see they are part of the problem.

No absolutely not. I suppose what I'm saying is people have been cnuts since time began, its just that they have so many mediums in which they can now be cnuts that its nearly impossible to stop it. So if you cant stop the people we try and support the folks who are suffering.

Someone more famous for being more intelligent than I am said that once, can’t remember who now but I always found it amusing

Descended into a cesspit of comments.

Closed pending review

Reopening, if you can't be civil with each other, dont post.
A number of cards have been handed out and multiple posts deleted.

If there is a repeat of uncivil comments, it will be closed for good

I hate the blame game people play after these kinds of story's ,

People there family and friends are absolutely fine using the Media and social media sites to up there profile and make every penny they can from them when the going is good and there life is on the up , but someone how are shocked when you do smoothing bad that the same media also reports on it,

Caroline made 2 big mistakes

The first one was the "accident " with her boyfriend that in time would be forgotten about no one would care when the next celeb makes a cock up of things , A year or two down the line its all forgotten ,

The second bigger mistake was ending her own life,

The biggest problem I have in this whole thing is no one seems to be saying and telling young people ITS IS NOT THE ANSWER ,

Stop printing and posting blame and start telling people the solution is never ever to take your own life, Stop trying to play the blame game and lets start making it clear the act its self is not acceptable ,

I'm no expert but back in the day it was a taboo and you where buried in different grave yards and it was shunned upon but since mental health has become a common topic(rightly so ) we seem to have by some how made the act of suicide more acceptable , it needs to stop its not ok no matter what,

Her family are the real victims here as they get the life sentence ,

I get what you're saying but I think your articulation of it will be criticized here. What you're saying is that suicide is being glorified and might look mighty attractive to someone with the outpouring of sympathy and love for someone famous who does it, not that people who commit suicide are selfish, right?

My honest opinion is, if you choose to sell your life for a living, you have to accept that your life will be commented on.

Good and bad.

Especially if you’re accused of an alleged assault.

I’ve stated previously that I feel deeply sorry that Caroline felt her only option was to end her life and I have every sympathy for her loved ones left behind.

But, the press photographing you walking your dog is publicity, the same press posting about an alleged attack you were involved in is still publicity, just not the kind that’s wanted.

The only one responsible for Caroline’s actions, alleged or otherwise, is herself.

Perfectly put. The z listers who are now crying about intrusion should have a long hard look at themselves and how they’ve contributed to the standards of the industry they are now shaming.
They made their private lives and string of failed relationships their currency, nobody else. Look at Taylor Swift, she’s in a relationship for a few years and there’s only ever been a handful of photos of herself and her boyfriend. Compare that to her previous relationships when she obviously courted attention. Anna Kournikova who recently gave birth managed to keep her whole pregnancy under wraps until after she’d had her baby. Kim Murray, the wife of Andy Murray leads a perfectly private life and manages to say out of the rags. We don’t even know the names of their children.

It’s easily done when you don’t offer up your private life for public consumption. If they don’t like it then they could always put their instagrams on private or get a job in Tesco.

This was reportedly taken 'straight after' the incident. That's the 'significant head injury' that the prosecution claimed the boyfriend suffered.

My goodness....she was well and truly stitched up the press coverage :mad: Anyone reading the tabloids would think she had launched a frenzied and violent attack on him leaving him in a terrible condition and needing to be rushed to A & E.

It's never acceptable to hit anyone. How any poster can put a 'level' on the injury inflict is beyond me.

Do you have some sort of chart to indicate what in the scale of violence is acceptable or not?

Would you say the same if it was him doing that to her?

The police said there was lots of blood and their body cameras have it captured as well as her confession and they had to restrain her. I guess she didn't like that she was going to be completely found out once it went to court.
