Id didn't know her but it's always sad to see someone, for reasons that many of us can't comprehend or understand, felt they need to take their own life.
As much as media can be used ignite fame and fortune, it can equally outstrip someone just as fast. People entering into the public eye need to be made fully aware of the consequences and be guided how to deal with it. Continued support is equally important because the public thirst for celebrity gossips, whether through social media, TV or the tabloids are always going to be quenched.

Agreed. The amount of posts i have seen on FB and Twitter from women who have been the first the **** off and condemn a bloke for abusing one of their reality tv stars but are now turning on the media and ignoring that she was an abuser.
These forums are still going after 20 years though?
I've seen the same thing from people calling for all manner of horrific things to happen to the likes of Piers Morgan, Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, etc, yet jump on this Flack bandwagon without realising their own hypocrisy.
Funny how they don't give a toss about a person's well-being and mental health when that public figure isn't on a crappy 'reality' show....
Yeah, but this place isn't a cesspit of vile degenerates. Most of us are pretty normal.

I entirely agree, we should all be very concerned about the mental health of Piers Morgan, Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - without exception, they need to be removed from the public gaze and given treatment for their many serious "issues"

Why blame the media when their actions are driven by audience demand?
I don't buy garbage tabloid newspapers or visit their websites. Do you?

You jest, but it's a fair comment tbh.I entirely agree, we should all be very concerned about the mental health of Piers Morgan, Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - without exception, they need to be removed from the public gaze and given treatment for their many serious "issues"

Trump is on speed so would need rehab , and as for Bojo the clown that boy has a bag of cats in hes head just like hes father
I don't think the wider public have fully understood social media. That the person on the telly is a real person.
Before we had social media there was an emotional distance between us, the audience, and them, the tv stars. Yes there might be a grumble or two conversations in the school yard or work place. But if anyone actually did or said something to them directly it would be seen as weird. Yet these days people are typing all kinds of rubbish to tv people and forget they are real people to, many times actors are getting verbally abused for playing a role on tv programmes!
For those that have been around the Internet for 20+ years you know what is coming, a version of Real ID. Where everyone will have a personal tracable account. So anything you type online you'll have to defend yourself in reality if a complaint is made against you. I guess we're seeing an early version of that with the police visiting peoples houses. The public today are helping make the case for it.

Which I will always say myself on here when people put Facebook down but still post on here
"But this isn't a Social media site" - err yes it is.

Absolutely, but not quite the same as people (members), can hid behind its anonymity.
Man of Honour
and I've also said that many times, people can easily find out who I am but 99.9% of the people on here are hidden so can say what they want.
Speak for yourself
Sad to read about all of this but not really that much of a surprise. The world is a cruel place full of cruel people.

Social media has enabled people like Trump and Brexit to happen due to its spreading of fake news/lies though, so not all bad eh?
And you will find this same sentiment being voiced by every older generation throughout human history, that the following generations are too soft, too lazy, too liberal and going to cause the downfall of society! So don't worry, it's just you getting old
Here's some from Ancient Greece
Here's one of my favourites from France, 1771
