Disney+ Documentary on Caroline Flack Debuts as Mother Challenges Police Case

The film introduces new recordings that revive scrutiny of the prosecution decision.

Overview

  • Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth, a two-part series led by Christine Flack, is now streaming on Disney+.
  • Previously unseen video and voice notes show Flack describing job loss, intense abuse and insisting she had never hurt anyone but herself.
  • The programme probes how an initial police caution was overturned after a Metropolitan Police appeal, leading to an assault charge before her 2020 death.
  • The Met reiterates an apology for not recording the rationale for the CPS appeal yet defends the case as correctly brought, with the CPS echoing that position.
  • Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal questions the decision to proceed as the boyfriend did not support prosecution, while friends of Flack criticize the film for omitting aspects of her behaviour and coverage highlights how leaked photos fed misleading narratives.
