Andrew Brady's instagram - Caroline Flack. **TRIGGER WARNING** mention of suicide

[Vilanelle]

Some may know that Andrew Brady dated Caroline for a while but ultimately split before she met Lewis.

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of her suicide.

For anyone who has seen his latest instagram stories where he slams the newspapers and Dan Wooton (claiming he is a sexual predator and a murderer), AIBU to think he is a massive hypocrite? He absolutely slated Caroline before she died, stated she was regularly violent towards her (ok, fair enough - this is awful but the whole point of his story was to slag off the press for airing all her dirty laundry when he did the same).

He even posted a photo of the gagging order her team were trying to get him to sign (before she died) and outing her as a violent partner.

I don't disagree with what he did but to now claim she was the love of his life and berating everyone who spoke ill of her...it just doesn't sit right with me.

Well apparently he is making a further announcement regarding Dan Wooton's secret sex crimes at 12pm today. I think he has slightly lost the plot. It is all a bit sad really.

He was even slagging off her friends on last night's stories. He has said he will stop at nothing to shut down the likes of The Sun and DM and doesn't care of he gets sent to prison.

Anyway, here is his instagram if anyone wants the link but I think he has deleted some stories now.

He has also set up a separate instagram purely for his "cause"

This doesn't seem right. Why ask if others feel he's a hypocrite when that's already your opinion.
He is clearly in the middle of something and fragile. Don't invite pile ons to people like that please it's cruel.

Where were all of her celeb friends when this was all kicking off anyway? I can’t say I recall any of them speaking out in support of her (happy to be corrected if I’m wrong, I don’t read much celeb stuff). Like a PP said, her career was tarnished, she orchestrated her own downfall, and they didn’t want to be taken down with her. But now she’s died, they’re all clamouring to make the biggest declarations of love and support for her. Makes me feel sick to be honest. Not because I was a fan of Caroline Flack, because I really wasn’t, but because of how two faced and fake all these people are.

In terms of Andrew Brady, he seems very damaged, I hope he finds peace with the situation one day soon.

I dont understand the whole thing around caroline flack at all. If she was a man no one would be behaving like this. She abused her partners and when it had consequences for her she killed herself. Imagine what would be said about a man in that situation. There are so many actually decent people who kill themselves because of people like her, can't we care about them instead of an abuser?

#BeKind? Yeah, be kind and dont abuse people who love you.

And as for her ex, he's probably quite damaged and struggling with his emotions, think of how many abused women go back to their abuser and say how lovely he is and how much she loves him and would be devastated if he killed himself.

I must say I agree with you.

The whole 'be kind' thing puzzles me as well because I think because we should be kind to everyone that's struggling. Not do it because a tv presenter has died.

I strongly believe as well that if CF wasn't famous and if she was Jo Bloggs from down the road, there wouldn't be nearly as much hysteria about her death.

I agree.
You cannot criticise anyone anymore, even if that criticism is valid, without ‘be kind’ being thrown about.
It’s not a excuse for people to get away with acting like dicks because no one is allowed to pull them up on it.

Is he the one that was then going out with Louis Tomlinsons sister reads too much celeb gossip

I completely agree with MyLittleOrangutan and this is the first time I've come across anyone who thinks the same, I thought (because I had genuinely never heard of her before she died) that I was missing some massive backstory that made it all make sense.

@AdultingAvoidance

I loathe DV having suffered myself at the hands of a partner. Therefore IMO I am pleased her victim had the courage to report; the subsequent police involvement and upcoming prosecution. She was not a victim, she orchestrated her own downfall. Did she think of the humiliation others suffered with her DV? No, she only thought of her own humiliation at getting caught. I am not saying she deserved to die, she clearly had mental health issues but she did deserve to be prosecuted. I beleive she knew her career was over and it was self shame that caused her demise.

I agree 100%

I'm pretty sick of seeing her name in the media, tbh.

She chose the path she went down. And there's nothing heroic about having issues with drink/drugs and beating up your partner. If she was male, she would have been vilified but she's held up as some sort of role model instead. She was a mature woman, not a teenager and she chose one disastrous relationship after another with much younger men.

The whole "be kind" thing also translates as "please don't call me out on my behaviour"........ and I find the whole hero worshipping of her quite bizarre.

Yes I also agree with this.

Her family tried to insist the CPS pursued it as a ‘show trial’ because of her celebrity status but she made admissions to injuring her partner and he clearly felt she was unstable enough that night to need to call the police for protection. Bearing in mind he was a tennis player or something and she is a small woman.

Andrew Brady seems very unstable and I hope he’s got some support.
