Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219 Posted February 15, 2020 I'm actually shocked about this, she was way too young to die. Years back, my daughter was at Stansted and flying out somewhere with some friends. They spotted her and all went over to her and, naturally, asked her if she would have her photo taken with them. My daughter said that she was lovely, totally natural, more than happy to pose with them and chat with them. How fucking tragic, the fame machine has chewed up and spat out another poor soul. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have just been on twitter and there is an awful unedifying spectacle of one group of people saying the media killed Caroline Flack,another saying Twitter and Instagram killed Caroline Flack,another saying the public who buy newspapers killed Caroline Flack and then there is the pushback against all of that and debates about how females accused of domestic violence are treated better than men and nobody would care if a man accused of domestic violence died etc. There are virtue signalling arseholes seeking attention from all sides /angles of the debate or issue and using it to point score. Its really cheap and frankly a cesspool and a number of celebrities are in the driving seat on twitter adding petrol to the bonfire. Very disheartening and disappointing. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment everyone is shocked and so various stages of grief including anger are happening. Give it a week and hopefully people will be more rational on how to deal with it. Though to be fair - females accused of domestic violence are treated better than men. Just look at how Amber Heard is being treated compared to Johnny Depp, the one with evidence of abuse including voice recordings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a big fan of Bo selecta growing up and she played bubbles in that show . But I only found that out last year.Other than that, I first heard of her during lamp assault. Her career was done and no doubt the guy she lamped was shacked up with another girl for valentines day. She was 40 no kids and probably thought it was all over. Not to mention she could be looking at jail time aswell. She should of been on alot of peoples radars but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Will the guy she lamped do himself in? Might be one to watch out for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently he has now switched off comments on some of his Instagram posts especially the older pics of him with Caroline because absolute vile kn****ds have been posting abusive comments saying it is his fault Caroline committed suicide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
