New Caroline Flack Documentary Unveils Unseen Footage and Reopens Questions Over CPS and Met Handling

Christine Flack leads a two-part film that uses previously unseen messages to revisit the decisions and publicity pressures surrounding her daughter’s final months.

Overview

  • Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth is now streaming as a two-part series on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu in the United States after its Nov. 10 release.
  • The documentary features previously unseen video, voice notes and texts in which Flack records her distress after her arrest, including a self-shot video days later describing the loss of work and abusive attention.
  • Coverage details that the CPS initially recommended a caution before a Metropolitan Police appeal led to an assault charge, with a later IOPC review finding no recorded rationale for the appeal and the Met issuing an apology for the record-keeping lapse.
  • In statements carried by the film, the CPS says it remains satisfied the prosecution was correctly brought, and the Met says no officer misconduct was identified while noting organizational learning on documentation.
  • Friends recount a crisis the night before a December 2019 court hearing, describing heavy drinking and tablets and fearing she could die, while her agent claims a psychiatric report deeming Flack unfit for court was disregarded; some friends quoted in separate coverage criticize the documentary for omissions and dispute aspects of its narrative.
