Someone has just died, there's no need to argue.

Exactly. There’s no question Caroline was on the receiving end on a lot of hate and backlash so what other reason would there be for her to take her own life?

Indeed. We can't know FOR SURE that toxic social media culture, trolling, bullying, and a gutter press that gleefully makes money from tearing people down is in any way to blame so let's just carry on accepting it.

there are countless possible reasons for her tragic end. I agree media and social media are toxic, but we know nothing of her state of mind, what shaped her thinking and even if her death was an accident or not

When people are keen to deny a toxic culture that is clearly damaging peoples mental health, has caused untold pain and undoubtedly deaths, and will cause countless more... I think there actually is a need to argue.

I hope she's now at peace, really. Never really understood why she was such a prolific presenter but she was clearly liked and successful.

[RileyH]

this has hit me really hard since I have dragged her in the past. sometimes you forget just how much words can affect people and I really hope that this isn't glossed over by tomorrow. it's a serious tragedy and such a shame that such a great presenter has had to go through this, which nobody deserves. what she's gone through the past months is a lot for anyone to deal with and the way she felt she had no other option but to take her own life is just extremely devastating. RIP Caroline, I hope you're in a better place now.

Hopefully scummy tabloids take note when it comes to other people who have openly shared how fragile their mental health has been. Schofield and Prince Harry to name two recent examples.

Report on the facts and nothing more. Witch hunts and gossip contribute nothing.

[thesheriff443]

It’s been reported she took her own life and it’s was reported weeks ago her friends and family were concerned over her mental health and the possibility of suicide.

Unfortunately you can’t stop someone who truly wantss to kill themselves.

I think she was unstable before the lamp fight, but drink and drugs are usually factors in suicide,

I'm so incredibly sad. One of my favourite celebs ever. I championed her on Love Island and even though people said Laura would do a much better job I always was on her side. She has had troubles God love her but this is an awful end to (for the most part) incredible journey into celebrity land

[Marsh.]

Not surprised by Piers Morgan and Dan Wootton's completely oblivious and hollow words on this.

Dan Wootton inparticular spent yesterday mocking Jameela Jamil over discussing her suicide attempt and thinks he isn't part of the issues? Makes his living on ruining reputations and careers. Disgusting.

[Vanessa]

Really sad news. I'm shocked and saddened

[Alf]

What did she actually do to her boyfriend? I didn't take too much notice. I heard something about her hitting him with a lamp, and that's about it. Is this what she was due in court for?

(Allegedly) hit him with a lamp while he was asleep, she was up on assault charges.

Didn't the boyfriend say that he didn't want to press charges? Or do I have that wrong? What were his injuries, do you know?

On his head. He wanted to drop the charges but the CPS pursued the case.

RIP

[Saph]

Its a shame she never explained herself or the situation as a whole, I think a lot of the reason the public were so hard on her is because she never seemed to offer any sort of apology or even much acknowledgement.. idk if maybe she couldnt because of legal reason or whatever but still..

I wasnt a huge fan but its very sad and I hope this can raise awareness for the future. RIP

Well said. There will be plenty of crocodile tears shed now by the same people who make a living out of toxicity.

I doubt she read this forum so dont beat yourself up sis . But you are right, words have consequences.

[Calderyon]

Wow.

R.I.P

[Strictly Jake]

What??!!! Im so sad to hear this

[parmnion]

All this out poring of grief, yet nobody agrees social media should be shut down.

Rip caroline, ****ing shame.

[Greg!]

Omg I’m so shocked. She obviously had her troubles but she seemed like a nice person and was great at what she did. Just so sad. RIP
