A documentary, she thought, could refute the sordid lies that had been spread about her and give her a voice at a time when she had been told to keep quiet. Of course that documentary never happened. Days after raising the idea, Flack died by suicide. She left behind a note in which she spoke of finding harmony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">Five years on, Flack\u2019s mother Christine is now following through on her late daughter\u2019s plans with the release of Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth on Disney Plus. The two-part documentary explores the troubling circumstances surrounding Flack\u2019s case, as Christine lays out evidence to suggest that her daughter \u2013 having been arrested and charged for assault \u2013 was treated differently by the UK police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). She says they\u2019d been eager to make an example out of her daughter as a celebrity. The series asks how it is possible that a dark but fleeting incident in Flack\u2019s life, which should\u2019ve stopped at a caution, ended instead in her death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new documentary led by the late TV presenter\u2019s mother turns up harrowing revelations surrounding the events leading&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":174394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[99378,18,117,19,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-174393","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-daily-features","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115529358160088206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
