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.

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.

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.

I sincerely ****ing doubt it. They didn’t stop after Diana, so why would a reality tv host killing herself make any difference?

Such sad news.

I hope they would take notice but sadly all they care about is making money. Things like this happen and then in a matter of days the press is back to its usual self.

[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,

[rionablue]

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.

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.

[GiRTh]

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

[Calderyon]

Wow.

R.I.P

[Strictly Jake]

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

[Beso]

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

Rip caroline, ****ing shame.

for once i agree with you. This should be a wake up call for us all to wonder if twitter/insta/fb ever do anything, they have a lot of responsibility for stuff like this.

The papers have much more responsibility, they stoke the flames in cases like this, they make money from it, they thrive of it, they stalk people until the want to literally take their own life, they chased Diana so much she ended up dead.

Sure social media does have responsibiity, but so do the papers and their editors

I agree, the supposed news companies do nothing but stir up trouble and people really do take it as fact.

i agree with you and i said on another thread social media and tabloids are toxic and trash and are to blame.I'm not sure if it's the papers have much more responsibility or both.

The papers merely report a story. .

Social media has all kinds of spiteful, evil wankers on it that revel in nothing more than other people's misery..papers tend not to give an opinion on a story but just report it, so it really is up to the individual to keep thier noses clean..but social media is an outlet for the poison that people feel they have to air.

They really don't. They report gossip and slanderous accusations that then fuels the social media brigade to pile on the hate.

If they stuck to reporting the facts it wouldn't be as bad. But they don't.
