Police used Caroline Flack’s celebrity status against her, claims her mother

Flack’s death prompted an outpouring of sorrow from celebrity friends, colleagues and fans, who referenced one of the former Strictly winner’s social media posts from December in which she urged people to “be kind”.
The mother of British television star Caroline Flack has accused a senior British police officer of prosecuting her daughter because of her celebrity status.
Chris Flack said her daughter killed herself as a consequence of Detective Inspector Lauren Bateman’s personal decision to appeal against the plan to hand the former Love Island host a caution for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, Lewis Burton.
