Yeah... what a bizarre and vindictive thing to say

FFS how exactly can people defend assault ??, if she beat her partner to the point where police got involved then it's wrong. Obviously people will drag her for that , are you saying everyone should of been sympathetic just to her??? .

She had assaulted someone at the time, beyond that she has always been well liked on here. I remember several members of the forum rooting for her on Strictly also.

...I understand also with the CPS...but obviously her boyfriend and the victim of the assault was emotionally involved ...and it’s for the CPS to make decisions that may go against a wish, he had...but they felt it was the right one ‘in protection of...’...you know...because there are so many potential ‘outcomes’ to situations that they have to consider as well...

Om the CPS I dont think it's always in the best interest for a prison sentence especially when the accused is not mentally well, it think there are other ways they could have helped instead of pushing for a prison sentence or at least telling her that was the plan when she clearly wasnt in a fit mental state.

Also I'm sure I read she has had suicidal thoughts in the past before the whole assault thing kicked off so I do think she has been failed on a whole by everyone as in some cases it's easier to suffer then ask for help

[Liam-]

I think going to court could have been really good her her, she was clearly in a a very dark place, they could have very easily offered her the counselling and help she needed.

I’ve found her death much sadder than I thought I would, at one stage she was my favourite tv presenter, her energy and her spirit were infectious and everything she was on, she made it shine with her personality, even that disastrous series of X Factor, her being there made it work more than it should have, to very publicly see her slide into darkness shows how devastating mental health issues are, it’s sad that such a lovely woman felt there was no helping her.

[Denver]

Another sad thing is how she put so much trust into Dan Wootton for him to then lead a charge of bullying against her then he had the audacity to make out he is very sad about her death same with Piers Morgan

...I think that looking at areas, which could be improved...does not always mean, laying blame though...although sometimes, that might apply, it doesn’t always...it’s about learning from things also and trying to apply to apply that learning ...the understanding of mental health issues is not always there...plus there is generally a lack of resources in mental health care.../..per ratio of those who are being diagnosed with mental health concerns...


....everything about Caroline’s situation was ‘high risk’ I would say...Sadly I don’t know if there will ever be the resources to apply to those high risk situations, which should be...I fear not...

Dan Wooton is a slimy goblin ,why do people still give him the time of day .

Everything about him infuriates me, from his voice to how he sits like a greasy sack of potatoes with that stupid smile on his face .

She can do that
nothing wrong with that.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Perhaps had she not chosen to go down the fame route she would still have ended up with way just with her social life and group of friends as the vast mjority of people who take their lives do

dont forget that the day she killed herself so did 15 others in the UK, today 16 will kill themselves and tomorrow and the next day and every day this year.

People always look to blame something, its natural.

[Saph]

Its funny how people on twitter have suddenly become her biggest fan.. the fakery is too much

people can point the finger at whoever they like, but she must've had some pretty big demons over her shoulder to do something like this.

We cant say ITV didnt give her the support she needed because nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.. I do think the papers need to take this as a lesson though, they've been constantly adding fuel to the fire over this and all these people online now posting about mental illness and "rip caroline" etc are all the ones who probably read these news stories in the first place and made judgements against her. Those people are suffering from a guilty conscience now it seems..

either way its very shocking and sad and whatever way you might have felt about her its still very upsetting

Papers like the Scum and online trolls have blood on their hands

The Scum (good nickname btw) are a cold hearted Newspaper, if Rupert Murdoch was to ever read your post he'd probably be happy at the fact that his Newspaper is getting talked about rather than someone's been hounded to the point of killing herself.

Murdoch and his Media outlets are the most loathsome News outlets in the UK imo, I'd even take The Daily Mail before that slimy bastard.

[Strictly Jake]

As a forum I think we were all too quick to believe what newspapers were saying and we did point fingers and say not so nice things. But we never knew the true story and headlines were maybe misleading us who knows. I was one of the ones that said caroline should be punished as if it were the other way a man would be. Regardless of what happened this outcome is awful

We still dont know the full story but for the caroline we knew before it all she seemed a lovely and funny woman. She will be missed. Rip caroline x

Of course it's tragic , I was never a Caroline flack or a Amy Winehouse fan but I can still acknowledge that it's unpleasant situations.

People like Dan Wooton are the fake ones , he talks so much garbage on everyone. He's a greasy mouldy potato.

But we all judge people due to their actions . Nobody is exempt from criticism, and the recent assault drama was obviously going to divide opinion on Caroline.

Jade Goody was one the most hated women in Britain back in CBB,then when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer people felt bad for her and stopped hating on her.

You have to remember that public opinions change more times than the wind , people are fickle that's life.

...it’s kind of a mixed thing though, I think, Jake...a huge part of the forum that we are is that we discuss and debate and argue over etc......these stories...if we took that bit away...?...we would be taking away a large piece of what makes us, us...

[GoldHeart]

But obviously things get discussed usually the big headlines, we don't know the full story but we still form opinions and make judgements.it's not always hate .

Do I have to bring up MJ , plenty still think he was guilty . In death people will still discuss your scandals & issues .

And correct. Usually it is other people and their hateful words that are responsible. So no good shifting the blame.

[Zizu]

The real shame is that when she really needed help and reached out to a friend for help ..that person, for whatever reason told her she was ‘draining’ ... that’s sad.

I would imagine that person will keep that ‘moment’ to themselves and we will never know who it was . Probably for the best as well .

I went right off him when he was slandering Michael Jackson saying he was guilty with no proof at all, awful bloody man.

It is something that person will have to live with but in all honesty thats human nature too. I have a friend who is always down, no matter how many good things happen in her life she spins it to a negative. It is draining always trying to pick her up. Maybe whoever Caroline reached out to had their own problems too....

Yes ,people were happy to read all the salacious stuff but not the other side, the tabloids were vile to MJ , no denying that , poor guy couldn't breath for them, the child abuse must have been nectar to them ,bloody leeches, as for Caroline,they really gunned for her aswell, they really do need to stop and think what they are doing to people.

I woke up forgetting about this until I checked my phone and was reminded of the news. I’m still so saddened by this.
