"Brit awards host"
Couldn't give my man Jack a little more credit by actually mentioning his name?

[CorridorJ]

I don’t know why but I can never take anything Jack Whitehall says serious even when it is serious. I always think he’s lining the up a joke or something

My heart goes out to her and her family who must be bereft. She was charged and was due to appear in court due to a law change that was designed to protect women. In the old days usually a female domestic abuse victim would be badly hurt by her partner but her reluctance and fear to testify in court meant that no charges would be filed and the police would have to walk away from these incidents or file a lesser breach of the peace charge. The new law was designed to allow the police to charge without the injured party pressing charges and take it out of the injured parts hands. This law could not be overlooked just because the attacker was A. A Woman. B. A public figure. C Attractive. The poor girl probably knew that the evidence against her was damning and she would be convicted of assault. I don't believe she would have recieved a prison sentence but it would probably have meant that any TV work would be impossible as our cancel culture and lack of redemptive empathy would consign her to obscurity. I hope she is at peace.

"Brit awards host" Jack Whitehall ickheads.

It’s sad she killed herself and sad she felt that alone or low but I hate how people are put on pedestals when they die as if just because you’ve passed you’re automatically cleared of any wrongdoings and are suddenly a lovely person who was *insert any generic positive trait*. People should be remembered but I just don’t like the philosophy behind how as soon as you die you become hero and idol-like. Where was everyone to say this when that person was alive?

People saying she tried to cave his head in 🙄 she threw a lamp at him in temper because she had read his text messages to another woman !! The blood in the bedroom was her own blood from cutting her wrists he never received treatment at the hospital she did !! Shes gone now let her RIP

These celebrities live in a another world. Why people are so obsessed with these people I don't know. These celebrities decide to be on social media 50 times a day.

[stephennutkin]

What if her partner had died after being struck by a heavy object or ended up with a brain injury or am I missing something here.

[BenRobinson]

People are surprisingly OK with domestic assault when its a woman doing it - not to mention starting a sexual relationship with a 17 year old when 32.
HYPOCRITES.

[gregturner]

So kind and vibrant that she hit her partner over the head with a lamp. Honestly the hypocrisy of this story beggars belief. Do you honestly think if she had been a man who did this to his female partner there would be quite this outpouring of sympathy and tacit approval of his behaviour?

[OneOfUsGamingGroup]

man beats woman ... man kills himself ... public call him a coward for not facing his punishment ...

[ramandosula]

Poor jack Whitehall doesn’t even get his name in the title 😢

[jaxmanx]

Way better than last Yr and previous yrs

[accadaccasuperstar]

sad n all but are people forgetting that she smashed a lamp over her mans head when he was asleep? and probably topped herself because she couldnt face going to court? a bloke in the same position would have been jailed quickly and got no praise at all, especially if hed dated a 17 y/o when he was 31. one rule for pretty middle class women, another for the rest of us

[ivermektin]

Can't a woman abuse her boyfriend in the privacy of her own home anymore, disgusting what social media has done!

[jagdpanther]

Is there any one left on the planet who hasn't paid tribute?

[mrn]

Back in 2012, Caroline was the Ambassador for the Benefit and Refuge Mascarathon. An event to raise funds for domestic violence. She said to Hello! magazine: "With one woman in every four experiencing domestic violence at some point in her life, I hope the 'Mascarathon' highlights this terrible statistic and in turn raises much needed funds for Refuge''. Somewhat ironic.

[charleyrobinson]

She abused her boy friend and he said he was going to the police and then due to her anxiety and the thought of her being cancelled she killed herself

[seanburke]

she was an unkind witch, rabid wild animal but she created a nce narrative in the end. we never get to see or hear the police body cam footage from that morning. clever girl!!

[singtorres]

I only knew her through X Factor. I don't know what love island is.
