    Terrible to see things go off the rails for someone so quickly. I know I'm assuming things there but if you know about her troubles it's the only logical assumption.

    RIP

    Bloody hell. Would not have expected that. I thought poorly of her a couple of months back when she was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend, but no one knows what is going on behind closed doors or in someone’s head.

    I presume it was the torrents of abuse she surely received on social media, fuelled by the cruel British media.

    This is extremely sad. RIP.

    If the story is true, it is a disturbing turn of events. Leaving aside the allegations of domestic violence, she seems to have been a somewhat unstable woman. If she has taken her own life, I wonder how much did the attention she got from the tabloids and social media play into it?

    Read up on who she was. Love Island presenter who battered her partner around the head with a lamp while he slept.......
    Her ex said he was 'not surprised' when news of the assault broke - indicating she has a history of this and possibly did similar to him.
    Why do I get the feeling that if it were Carolines fella who commited suicide after battering her with a lamp we wouldn't be seeing many 'Lewis Burton RIP' posts?

    Ex love island host caroline Flack found dead at home

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/caroline-flack-dead-love-island-host-a9337581.html
    Ex-Love Island host Caroline Flack has been found dead at 40, reports said on Saturday.

    She was set to face trial in March over allegations that she had assaulted her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her flat, which she denied.

    She entered a not guilty plea at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court in December.

    Edit, just seen another thread, delete please mods

    It was allegedly an extremely violent assault involving breaking a lamp over his head as he slept.

    Still, shows that the usual social media pile on should wait until after trials are concluded. RIP.

    Man why don't you cop the f*ck on? Someone just committed suicide and you're almost trying to justify it as a good thing and bring anti feminist nonsense into it. It's pathetic.

    It would've taken the same amount of time of typing "Who?" and clicking post on Boards.

    Going to cast another suicide related pall over that vile human circus that love island is.

    Actually, I'm full on presuming that it was suicide. Haven't a clue

    Normally celeb news/deaths doesn't phase me at all but the overwhelming sadness of this really hit home for some reason.

    Maybe because of personal issues I'm going through myself at the moment, or maybe because it highlights the impact that falling from grace has for people who want to be loved, or how the media treat celebs not as people but commodities, it's just terribly sad.

    Who the hell would want to be in the public eye in this day and age?

    RIP

    The idiot then tweeted a pic on Valentine’s Day saying “love you”. She had to refrain from contacting him ahead of the trial. Very stupid thing to do.
