‘You knew she was depressed’: Caroline Flack’s ex-fiance attacks paparazzi, managers and PRs
Caroline Flack’s ex-fiance Andrew Brady has attacked her managers in his first public statement since the former Love Island host’s death.
Flack was found dead in her east London home on Saturday (15 February) after taking her own life.
“Following such terrible tragedy I’m unable to look at my phone,” Brady wrote in messages posted to his Instagram story.
“She was just ruined by a disgusting industry filled with complete users, fakes and frauds, you know who you are,” he continued. “I hate you.”
Brady criticised Flack’s “managers” and “PR w***ers who did nothing to protect her,” writing: “You knew she was depressed.
“You paraded her life across the British press like a f***ing sitcom.”
Flack was set to face trial in March over allegations that she had assaulted her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her previous flat in Islington, which she denied.
She entered a not guilty plea at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court in December.
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) notified Flack it would be pursuing the trial despite Burton stating he did not want to press charges.
Brady, who has appeared on The Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother, wrote: “The prosecutors aren’t to blame for Caroline’s death. They have been the only just people [in] this. They are being wrongly blamed for her death. Can’t you see. ‘Yes Caroline had problems. Why wouldn’t she. You made out to be a monster. A complete witch hunt. Every f***ing week. You f***Ing broke her [sic].”
Addressing Burton, Brady said: “Lewis. I’m sorry they broke her and I’m sorry that [I] have contributed somewhat. I loved Caroline as much as you and I saw the real her. I hope you can forgive me. I can’t forgive myself.”
He added: “I’m most sorry to her mum Christine, her twin sister Jody, her big brother Paul, her bigger sister Liz and their kids. You daughter, you sister and you Aunti was good person [sic].”
Following Flack’s death, ITV pulled Sunday night’s episode of Love Island, but said the show would return on Monday with a tribute to the presenter, who had been temporarily replaced by Laura Whitmore.
