Overview
- The two-part Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth is now streaming on Disney+, led by her mother Christine as she revisits the period following the 2019 arrest.
- Previously unseen video filmed three days after the arrest shows Flack saying she was put in a cell, that details were leaked to the press, that she lost her job, and that she was being abused online.
- The Crown Prosecution Service initially recommended a caution before a Metropolitan Police appeal led to an assault charge, and a 2020 coroner ruled the impending prosecution contributed to her suicide.
- The Met reiterates that reviews and the inquest found no officer misconduct and apologises for not recording the rationale for the CPS appeal, while the CPS says the case was correctly brought and not influenced by celebrity status.
- Friends describe her deteriorating state, including fears for her safety the night before a court hearing, and separate reporting quotes other friends criticising the series for downplaying her partying and substance use.
