Caroline Flack's Family Shares Unreleased Social Media Post She Wrote Before Death

Former Love Island host Caroline Flack died by suicide over the weekend at the young ago of 40, and just after her cause of death was confirmed by the coroner, her family has released a message to her fans.

Caroline‘s family has released the text of a social media post that the 40-year-old television host was advised not to release as it had to do with the assault charge against her.

Back in December, Caroline was arrested for assault following an altercation with her boyfriend, Lewis Burton. She pleaded not guilty, and was on bail awaiting trial in March.

Caroline‘s mom Chris said of the unreleased post, “So many untruths were out there but this is how she felt and my family and I would like people to read her own words. Carrie was surrounded by love and friends but this was just too much for her.”

Caroline Flack’s Unreleased Social Media Post

“For a lot of people, being arrested for common assault is an extreme way to have some sort of spiritual awakening but for me it’s become the normal.

I’ve been pressing the snooze button on many stresses in my life – for my whole life. I’ve accepted shame and toxic opinions on my life for over 10 years and yet told myself it’s all part of my job. No complaining.

The problem with brushing things under the carpet is …. they are still there and one day someone is going to lift that carpet up and all you are going to feel is shame and embarrassment.

On December the 12th 2019 I was arrested for common assault on my boyfriend …Within 24 hours my whole world and future was swept from under my feet and all the walls that I had taken so long to build around me, collapsed. I am suddenly on a different kind of stage and everyone is watching it happen.

I have always taken responsibility for what happened that night. Even on the night. But the truth is …. It was an accident.

I’ve been having some sort of emotional breakdown for a very long time.

But I am NOT a domestic abuser. We had an argument and an accident happened. An accident. The blood that someone SOLD to a newspaper was MY blood and that was something very sad and very personal.

The reason I am talking today is because my family can’t take anymore. I’ve lost my job. My home. My ability to speak. And the truth has been taken out of my hands and used as entertainment.

I can’t spend every day hidden away being told not to say or speak to anyone.

I’m so sorry to my family for what I have brought upon them and for what my friends have had to go through.

I’m not thinking about ‘how I’m going to get my career back.’ I’m thinking about how I’m going to get mine and my family’s life back.

I can’t say anymore than that.” (via the Eastern Daily Press).

RIP Caroline Flack.
