If this is true then it’s very tragic

Maybe I'm just not "down with the kids" in terms of my celebrity awareness, but I was surprised by the recent assault coverage. Based on what little I'd seen of her prior to that she seemed okay to me. Clearly she had some serious issues and we still have some way to go in terms of understanding mental health... and the media has a long way to go in terms of not making a freak show of people's meltdowns.
My extremely tenuous connection to Caroline flack is that for 3.5 years I lived 4 flats down from her in a development in bow.
Never really heard a peep out of her, and she used to pop over the road to the pub sometimes, but she seemed to constantly get her range rover clamped In the carpark. I emailed her manager about it a couple of times to save her from getting it lifted but i didn't get a reply so I stopped bothering after a while.

Sad news. Actually shocked and I don’t follow celebs. The media have a lot to answer for.
isn't it the court case and her own actions that might have led to this point?MitchT said:

I posted similar on the first dates tv thread-they actively search out people with mental health conditions to make for "good tv".Oh how the audience laughed at another mentally disabled person's attempts to sing for the judges on the x factor first round.
I'm no bleeding heart liberal but in years to come it'll be looked on in the same way we do 1970s racism now.

Yep, it wasn't the media who smacked her sleeping boyfriend over the head with a lamp.
This post nicely highlights the problem, she hadn't even stood trial yet but the press absolutely destroyed her (and have now quickly removed the tens of stories published about her in recent months).I do wonder who the hell still reads the tabloid press and their websites, but then I remember that even the PH forums are full of links to Daily Mail articles.
