I have just read this online and I’m very shocked. I can’t say I know much about her but watched Love Island last year. I know she’s been charged with assaulting her boyfriend but he was standing by her.

I just think it’s very sad.

Her poor family sad

And now people are using social media and #bekind to bully others on her behalf.

So sad people we really do need to take a long hard look at ourselves this girl was pushed to the edge by social media so so sad

notanan2 Sat 15-Feb-20 22:33:06

That hash tag is being used passive aggressively against people... its being used to bully..
Social media has been full of hypocrites today.

Lots of
"You have blood on your hands #bekind"

Irony.

So terribly sad, the hash tag 'being kind ' , you know, let's just all try and be just that

Incredibly sad ..

Roses Sat 15-Feb-20 20:32:35

Just so sad, I cannot imagine how her poor family are feeling

Incredibly sad to hear this news tonight about Caroline. I remember watching her in Strictly every week and was so pleased when she won with Pasha. She did seem to have a very troubled personal life and the last few weeks must have been hard with a court case looming.

This is so, so sad sad

So sad.

notanan2 Sat 15-Feb-20 19:21:36

I dont agree that people were wrong to call for het suspension.
If you or I were awaiting trial for assault we would be suspended from work until the trial. I do not think people were wrong to call out TV producers on that..

Thats not trial by media IMO. Its standard to be suspended until you have a "real" trial with that sort of case

Very sad. I will always remember her Argentine Tango on Strictly. She wore purple and no-one has ever danced it so beautifully.

I do wonder if social media trolls have been hounding her.( Never seen Love Island but remember her on X Factor.)

Manmar2 Sat 15-Feb-20 19:09:28

Very sad. Agree with you grannypiper.

Xxjanexx Sat 15-Feb-20 19:09:22

I new who she was,but never watched anything she was in.
How very sad..I wished she reached to someone as she obviously was struggling.

grannypiper Sat 15-Feb-20 19:02:41

The poor soul must have beeen in such a dark place, i feel for her family. Trial by media is a curse and trial by social media is evil

kittylester Sat 15-Feb-20 18:50:49

I have been aware of her from Strictly and the Court case. It is so sad that a woman of her age feels it is the only answer.

notanan2 Sat 15-Feb-20 18:39:48

I only know of her from the domestic abuse case I don't really know anything else about her to be honest.

DanniRae Sat 15-Feb-20 18:38:37

sad

Buffybee Sat 15-Feb-20 18:34:23

Such a tragedy, the loss of this lovely young woman.
Very sad.....

Kandinsky Sat 15-Feb-20 18:33:56

Such sad news.

Harris27 Sat 15-Feb-20 18:33:30

What a sad way to go. I’ve heard about her just from the younger ones at work and I know that’ll be the whole conversation Monday when I go in. All I can think off is how tormented she must of been and our press and social media need to take some responsibility.

Susan56 Sat 15-Feb-20 18:31:55

Heartbreaking.Trial by media.Thinking of her family.Rest in peace Caroline.

merlotgran Sat 15-Feb-20 18:31:44

Apparently it's the third suicide by people who have appeared on Love Island.

Very sad.

Greymar Sat 15-Feb-20 18:27:34

I thought so ticking, just checking it is the same person. I loved her on that programme, seemed genuine. How absolutely awful.

tickingbird Sat 15-Feb-20 18:24:58

She actually won Strictly and was fabulous on there. She has taken her own life. Just tragic.
