Wilbur Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Shocker. Media pressure is surely a factor in this young woman's death. Expect outrage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delpierro Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Dies, suspected suicide, at 40. Jeezo. It's a sad reflection on those who seek validation thru 1000 likes on their instagram page. Poor self-esteem coupled with social anxiety is not remedied, by a carefully manipulated photo.

faraway saint Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Recent court case, which all seemed a bit of a sham and unnecessary, seems to have been a factor. Tragic that she felt the only way out was to take her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not interested in "celebrity" culture or "reality" TV, so I tend not to know who these types of people are. I have to go and look them up. I'm more likely to recognise the name of a scientist or tech innovator than I am a modern "celebrity". This place is my "escape from reality". As for THAT lager, even if I did have it on tap, I wouldn't drink it. And it's quite hip to live in a cave, didn't you know? At least it was when I were a lad back in the stone age. I'm largely the same although I have heard of this woman from the BBC front page. Apparently she's in something called Love Island but I honestly have no idea or interest in what that's all about. I haven't watched TV other than DVD's since 2007. In fairness I wouldn't recognise a Nobel prize winning scientist or what they were awarded that prize for if my life depended on it. Same goes for tech innovators other than idiots like Elon Musk who get forced down our throats as some modern day Isaac Newton. It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic. The innovation is coming from his employees not him. I guess I'm just not that interested in people from any walk of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I've always been like that, when I'm not interested in something then I tend not to retain anything at all about it. I'll probably forget all about this girl by the end of tomorrow.

OK, all I can say is that in many cases of a domestic things get out of hand by both parties, the police arrive and both parties agree it was a storm in a tea cup. That'll do for me your honour.

It seems it’s okay for women to perpetrate violence against their partners One of my mates was attacked by his partner on several occasions, including stabbing him with a knife. He filmed her final attack on him and phoned the police. She was arrested, charged and went to court. Despite the film evidence it was found not proven. It’s all just a big laugh if men are on the receiving end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doakes Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 There's a few parts to this that are shite Firstly it's shite that she battered her ex-partner with a lamp when he was sleeping, no getting away from that Secondly, this "outrage culture" that only seems to apply to the general public. There has been very little "outrage" in the traditional media about the way this lady was hounded - by the media. The Daily Mail were posting pictures earlier of her ex-partner sitting on his own, crying. How shite is that? If I started following around someone with a camera - whose ex partner had just died, I'd rightly be called a dick - why do the paps get off with it? It also seems a bit shite that the CPS chose not to press charges, the ex-partner chose not to press charges - yet "senior police" insisted that the CPS press charges because of her profile. Court of public opinion seems to be leaking into actual law, which is pretty shite for everyone involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought so too. Read it on the daily mail () site earlier, weird one Quote It was claimed that the Crown Prosecution Service initially decided not to charge Miss Flack with assaulting her boyfriend last December, but senior police officers are said to have pressed for a charging decision; Miss Flack was allegedly tormented over the idea of a jury being shown police 'bodycam' footage taken during the night of the alleged assault; ITV bosses continued to hold high-level crisis talks about the future of Love Island, although staff on the programme have been told the show is safe; Contestants on the current series have still not been told of Miss Flack's death, although crew described the mood on set as 'on the floor' and 'incredibly low'; It emerged Miss Flack flew to Barcelona with a friend a week before her death, with the friend releasing photographs of her during the holiday.
