Since Caroline Flack鈥檚 death by suicide last weekend, many people have been trying to make sense of it. Yesterday her family released a previously unpublished Instagram post written by Caroline Flack detailing her 鈥榮hame鈥 and 鈥榚mbarrassment鈥 at the truth being taken out of her hands and used, she wrote, as 鈥榚ntertainment鈥. Some have pointed the finger at the tabloids for her fragile mental state. Others are blaming a 鈥榯oxic鈥 social media culture. In this episode, we explore this idea with entertainment journalist Scott Bryan. We also speak to writers Sophie Wilkinson and Lauren O鈥橬eill about the world of celebrity journalism.
