Some individuals will never have a job or platform meaning they are ever taken seriously as any sort of commentator again. That avenue has been closed down. How? Who knows. Utterly mysterious. No idea whatsoever. None at all.

If I were Caroline, I'd be posting a champagne drinking selfie from somewhere :-]
