Your opinions are borne of ignorance to be honest so don't mean much. The guys weren't the problem. She was. She was being taken to court because of it. So far your only input has been to blame the men for the assaults taking place on them.

No im saying she made poor choices, and should have dated a non celeb her own age. However i stand by my belief that pop culture males are pricks. Its what sells their material.

Glad you’ve come out the good side but your post is a little contradictory.
Fine to have no emotion for her but it kinda sounds like maybe you understand her situation having experienced it yourself but lucky for you, you had the necessary support.
Probably, part of her abusive personality was to have relationships where the power imbalance was such that she could treat her partners so appallingly. That's what abusers do.

Absolutely and this makes it all the more sad. She must have had some deep rooted insecurities which I’m sure could have been resolved/reduced with the correct support.
It’s just really sad she didn’t solve her problems before taking such drastic measures.
Just casually empathising with domestic abusers.
Right? Had this been a case of a celebrity male with a history of violence towards young pretty girlfriends, and finally they get their day in court after attempting to smash one girlfriends head in with a lamp while she slept, before offing himself to face the consequences in court... the consensus would be "**** him, least now we don't have to pay to keep him in prison". Any man that smashed his girlfriends head with a lamp while she slept would be up on an attempted murder charge.
But she has a vagina. And it must have been something the men did to make her so violent. Maybe she was mentally ill. Maybe there's some excuse we can come up with to excuse her ****** violent, controlling and abusive behaviour where we simply wouldn't bother with a man and would just straight up condemn them and move on.

Reality TV and social media is toxic trash and attracts all the pricks male and female.

Piers Morgan is waffling on about what a tragedy it is yet he relentlessly goes after Meghan Markel on his tv show, his newspaper column and twitter. People like him are part of the problem his crocodile tears are a joke.
Oh come off it... both Caroline and Megan chose to put themselves in the limelight and be talked about/featured in the news etc.. - that involves both praise and criticism... in the case of Caroline it was pretty much well deserved criticism.
Can't help but feel that you're right.
You know that understanding why something happens, doesn't mean I'm empathising with it right?
Mixture of alcohol to the point of being paralytic then copious amounts of cocaine I bet.....How the other two off Love island topped themselves...if it comes out she hung herself that was the combo the other two took...
Makes suicide pretty easy by all accounts....That what the doctors were saying in the documentary I watched...about life after reality TV
Plus social media played a part...
Yup, I mean she was hot etc.. and so had managed to keep the TV career going though her 30s but she had just turned 40 - obvs there are other presenting/career options at that stage but the days of being say the face of a show like Love Island were almost over anyway.
It isn't exactly unusual for women who were considered to be pretty attractive though their teens, 20s etc.. to get rather anxious about it all once they're into their 30s and find that people aren't treating them in the same way anymore.
Do you not think they are seduced and unaware of the risks, i.e how miserable you can become if you don't deal with situations well and let critisism get to you?

What you're saying is she chose bad men and those men acted badly which drove her to violence and that if she'd been with a similar aged guy she wouldn't have gotten violent. You're victim blaming. Abusive people are abusive, they usually intentionally seek out weaker/less experienced partners because they are easier to manipulate. It's an incredibly similar pattern with abusive men and women. Then without knowing any of the situation you're blaming both men for being the bad side of the relationship causing the issues.
Disgusting really. Abusive people chose to be abusive, the partner is irrelevant.
If your in the public eye you have to take the rough with the smooth i never get when people blame social media saying being bullied online like twitter turn your computer off or don't look.
