Maybe it is. Somepeople are unhappy no matter what they own/do. People think there is a solution, but modern life breeds unhappiness in the droves that no pill can statisfy.

Whether deeprooted issues or recent, it happens. Even people who think they would never do it, can end up staring down the barrel.

i'm sure ive read most successful suicides have been preceeded by a few failed attempts.

I don't think it's that strange, I think this is pretty standard regards domestic abuse cases. It's possible this wasn't the first time they've responded to something like this regarding Flack and her boyfriend (or previous boyfriends) and they acted in the way they thought best to prevent it escalating in the future?
Maybe so, we don’t know the ins and outs. But how come all domestic abuse incidents aren’t dealt with similarly? Why the restraining order, against the victims wishes? If that’s the norm, then domestic abuse can be ended for everyone?

I think the celebrity factor got her ‘special’ treatment, which should not be the case. They both wanted to forget about it and move on, someone, decided to say sod them, I’m going to prove a point, or make a name for myself...
All domestic abuse cases are now attempted to be dealt with the same way if evidence exists and a victim doesn't support. There is nothing special applied to a celebrity case and the angle you are going for just doesn't exist.

There is no restraining order in place, only bail conditions.

If you think that domestic abuse can be "ended for everyone" because this now happens then you are extremely naive as to the nature of it and the mentalities of the people involved in domestic abuse relationships.

You've missed off the very real potential of time in jail from your list.

Quite sad as I always liked her on TV.
Clearly troubled though, but who knows what may be going on. This is the thing with suicide and mental illness that gets one to the brink.
As someone once told me, everywhere you look, there’s people fighting battles no one has the slightest idea about.....

RIP, seems like a real waste, she was actually a very talented young woman.

You will now see an outpouring of grief and sympathy from so called celebs on Twitter. Had social media not existed and these people had actually been physical caring entities in her life, I am sure she would still be alive.
Very true. BBC News going mad with tweet after tweet from other 'celebs'. If they had given a fk they might actually have gone and seen her or something. I'm not really interested what Z-lister A. B or C have to say - and I can't believe anybody is.

All a bit late now. Love Island is a horror show, and social media is a nightmare. It shouldn't be like this.

So, she allegedly attacked her boyfriend, ok, so gets the sack.

Why, after the boyfriend refuses to press charges and wants to move on and still be her boyfriend, did the police/courts/cps whichever one, decide to take her to court, as well as obtaining a court order so she couldn’t see her boyfriend, against their wishes?

Seems strange, when you hear of so many domestic abuse cases where the police say they can’t do anything, as the partner does not agree to press charges..... when in this case, they seemed to have been very interested.
I'm fairly sure that in the UK victims of crimes don't have any say in who gets charged.

If a crime has been committed then the police/courts etc will take action regardless.

Which, ignoring the emotions, must surely be correct.

I've never seen it, all I know is Pavitha at the local convenience store is hooked on it. Is it basically chuck a load of good looking 20 somethings together and see who shags?

Horrible. The cruelty of the tabloid media is beyond parody really. It's amazing that so many young people want nothing more than to be famous.

I don't watch it either but the Mrs does. As far as I understand it, good looking young people are the only ones to get chosen, it's scripted for some of the time - couples get together - and then they start introducing other decent women and lads so jealousy rears its ugly head - just what you want for people's mental health. All this time with x million watching your every move.

All the blokes look the same, tattooed-covered with tans. All the women are lathered in make-up and without much on! I will admit to seeing the dod snippet when passing through where the TV is but it's brain-dead TV for anyone with intelligence (and I include the wife in that)

When they put a flabby ginger bloke in there, I might start watching.

Maybe those that watch it more can explain further what the attraction is?

Sounds destructive, giving contestants the ultimate (sexual jealousy) head fk. S loves Towie. For an intelligent girl I just don't get it. 'Yeah but no, but she said this and he said that and she's such a spineless bh and why does he like her, and anyways I'm so done with him and..........' fking grade A garbage.

It's tv for fking morons. Entertainment for the masses. Years ago when Big brother started it was a pretty serious look at how a group of people who didn't know each other got on in an issolated environment. There were large parts of the program where an actual psycologist commented on the behavours and personality traits.

Then "nasty Nick" happened and tv worked out that contraversy and conflict were rating winners. The rest is history from there

Never understood people who brag or think it's cool to not have an interest in popular things.
