Caroline Flack’s autobiography from 2015 will to go back on sale after increasing demand. The 2015 memoir details her love life and episodes from her career in the public eye.
Profits from the book’s re-release will go to her estate, according to Publishing house Simon & Schuster told the MailOnline: “‘All author royalties go to Caroline Flack’s estate.Caroline’s autobiography was first released in October 2015 but reemerged as on of Amazon’s Top 40 best-selling biographies last week.They added: “It is common for books to be reprinted on the back of increased demand following an author’s death.”
It comes after a watchdog decided there is no need to investigate police contact with Caroline Flack before her death. The Independent Office for Police Conduct said there was no indication of a “causal link” between the actions of police and the presenter’s death.
Officers last contact with the 40-year-old on 13 December when she was in custody following an alleged assault. An internal review by the CPS has upheld its decision to charge Flack, stating it was in consistence with their guidelines.
The ex-Love Island host, who took her own life in February, had been charged with assaulting her boyfriend. The watchdog concluded there was “no indication of a causal link – directly or indirectly – between the actions or omissions of the police and Caroline Flack’s tragic death”.
The CPS added in a statement, that officers had arranged for her to see a health professional while she was in custody, and that “relevant policy and procedure was followed to give her further guidance.”
A petition with over 850,000 signatures was presented to Downing Street yesterday, pushing for a law to criminalise the media for harassment and bullying. Expert analysts associated with The Eye Of Media.Com believe it will be difficult to establish such a law because a criminal law of harassment already exists, and creating a law of bullying will require accurately defining bullying in media terms.
Instead, psychologists and lawyers who are quietly examining the proposal believe that at best tighter regulations can be set for the media where bullying can be evidenced, but evidencing bullying in the media remains the challenge. The right to freedom of expression allows the media to legally print anything that is not false, but sensitivity is something many think the media needs to develop when covering some celebrities in the public eye because of the challenges they face.
