But you know what the media are like , obviously they saw this as a big story . And anyone in the public eye of course it's going to make the news.

The press jumped on the story, but ultimately if there had been no assault there would be no story.

Sadly this is true..

Fame comes at a price, and for some it costs them their life.

Yes

It's a two edged sword

Some only see one edge

Their edge

The other is far sharper

The Sun has removed an article about a “brutal” Valentine’s Day card mocking the deceased former Love Island presenter Caroline Flack from its website.

The story highlighted a card featuring a drawing of the presenter with a message saying “I’ll ****ing lamp you” but it was removed from the website and replaced with a legal warning, amid concerns about how the media handled coverage of her arrest.

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.

Makes you really think if some BB housemates would have had the same fate if BBUK peaked today...

Just found this ....

Looks like someone special let her down at a crucial time ..

Quote



"The last few weeks, I’ve been in a really weird place... I find it hard to talk about it .. I guess it’s anxiety & pressure of life ... and when I actually reached out to someone, they said I was draining."

"I feel like this is why some people keep their emotions to themselves. I certainly hate talking about my feelings. Being a burden is my biggest fear.... I’m lucky to be able to pick myself up when things feel sh!t. But what happens if someone can’t. Be nice to people. You never know what’s going on. Ever."

...this is just incredibly sad......apparently she had recently returned from a wellness break in America, obviously trying to find some self healing with everything her life had been recently...I can’t imagine what her family will be feeling now...well I can, I know someone who took their life and I know the devastation on her family.....she has a twin sister, I believe and two other siblings...

...her family have issued a short statement...

"We would ask that the press respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time and we would ask they make no attempt to contact us and/or photograph us."

...that’s only one little snap size piece of a mind and emotions that were very troubled and in turmoil, though...it’s very sad that it’s how she felt, we now know how she felt was in a very bad and sad place...it doesn’t though indicate any ‘reality or truth’, type thing...it’s just an indication of her own sense of feelings...’someone special let her down..’...no, we don’t know that at all, we have absolutely no understanding of Caroline or her life inside herself at all...

The sad thing is, the people in high profile jobs who started the bullying and targeting off her today will delete everything bad said about her and pretend to be sorry for her death.

It's time for the government to act on internet Bullies and Troll and force through a law to prevent anyone no matter if they are famous or not, people shouldn't have to be made to feel hated, unwanted, unloved, ugly, different or whatever they are made to feel but we as a nation and society should actually love strangers like they are family.

To stop people committing suicide we have to make them feel like they can be listened to and feel like they mean something. Rather then attack people when they are down we should be helping them get back to their feet.
