It was only a matter of time before the media and a prolonged social media dogpile, hers lasted for MONTHS, pushed someone completely over the edge. Rest In Peace Caroline Flack. This is fucking horrendous.
Piers Morgan Told More Details
Even Piers Morgan could not contain himself to type out a support message to Flack after her death. Although there are a number of Twitter users who are calling out Piers Morgan’s dual-faced behaviours.
Caroline was a fun, bright & sparky person whose whole world collapsed recently, both professionally & personally. She told me it had been the worst time of her life, and was clearly struggling to cope with losing everything she held dear.
This is such sad, awful news. pic.twitter.com/UAzKOlmZFA— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 15, 2020
One Twitter user even blew the cover on Morgan’s current Twitter profile picture. Take a look:
Your profile picture is literally your head on a penguin, in reference to the time you said you identified as a penguin to undermine trans people, a community where nearly 50% have attempted suicide https://t.co/oyei5eQMTr

James Black Also Tweeted To Show Support
Musician James Blake blames online and prints media for bullying, dehumanizing and hounding people. He called for more compassion and empathy.
#rip Caroline Flack. This is the effect of online and print bullying. This is what dehumanizing and hounding people leads to. As a society we need to find our compassion and empathy. We don’t know what other people are going through as they almost always present an ‘ok’ front.
