Disney+ documentary, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, has reignited attention about her 2019 arrest and death. The show, which is anchored by her mother Christine Flack, challenges the decision to prosecute Caroline with assault, claiming that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Metropolitan Police treated her unfairly because of her celebrity status.The late Love Island's host was arrested in late 2019, in the month of December, after she was involved in an altercation with her boyfriend, Lewis Burton. When police arrived at the scene, they found both Caroline and Lewis injured. Caroline Flack had hit Lewis on the head, on suspicion of cheating. The police had found her "covered in blood" and Lewis Burton with a head injury.Caroline said that she "whacked him round the head" in rage after seeing a message on Lewis' phone. Lewis Burton had declined to press charges, but the case had turned into a high-profile legal case. According to the BBC, the Crown Prosecution Service had first suggested a caution rather than prosecution as they claimed that there was "no history of domestic violence" and that the case was not in the public interest. The CPS document stated:“There is nothing so serious about this incident which means the guidelines [to issue a caution] need to be diverted from.”It was only after a senior Metropolitan Detective Inspector challenged the CPS's ruling, claiming that Caroline Flack had inflicted "significant injury," which led to a charge of assault. A former CPS prosecutor, Nazir Afzal, who first defended the decision to charge Flack, claims that the case should never have gone to trial. In the documentary, he said:"We have to have one law for everybody or there's no law at all. The guilty must be held to account. And for the innocent, there is no better way to clear one's name than in a court of law."He continued saying that the CPS feared public criticism if they dropped the case:"The worst thing that should have happened is a caution. I can't think of any reason [for the CPS] to proceed other than being scared of what would have been said about them."Christine Flack seeks answers for Caroline FlackChristine Flack, who has long expressed disapproval of the way her daughter, Caroline Flack's case, was handled. She told The Guardian:“Certain things will be picked up and stories might come out, including ones that aren’t true. But I’d been trying for four years to understand what happened and I still had so many questions. I’d come to a brick wall so I went ahead."She added:“And whatever happens next, I always say that no one can do anything worse to me now. Nothing worse can happen than Caroline dying.”She believed that it was Caroline's mental health and the way the case was handled by the media that contributed to her suicide. She said:“A different person could perhaps have come out the other side and it would be OK. Not Caroline.” Following her arrest, she decided to step down as the host for Love Island to avoid any unnecessary attention. Caroline Flack was constantly targeted by the press back then, with headlines such as “Flack attack!” in the Daily Star and “Caroline whack!” in The Sun. Caroline was at her lowest at the time, her texts to her family and friends read:“I’ve lost it all and so publicly. Am lowest I’ve ever been in my life.” Caroline Flack was under immense pressure, and her legal team's appeal had failed. She was found dead by her twin sister, Jody, in her London home on 15 February 2025. The CPS and Met Police respond to the documentaryAs reported by The Guardian, a CPS spokesperson said:"A person's celebrity status never influences whether a case is taken forward. We are satisfied that the prosecution was correctly brought."Meanwhile, the Metropolitan police stated that:“While there was organisational learning for us on points of process, no misconduct has been identified.”The Flacks have filed a new complaint, which has now been referred to the IOPC. In their statement, they said:"The IOPC decided the majority of the matters had previously been dealt with and no further action was required. The IOPC returned one aspect of the complaint back to the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) to consider further."They added:"This relates to the actions of officers in appealing an initial decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to charge Ms Flack, and because new witness evidence may be available. DPS officers are now making further enquiries in relation to this."Christine Flack told The Guardian about Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth:"I hope this programme can set the record straight. I wish I’d done it before Caroline died. At the time, though, in the middle of it, we were being told to stay silent, that it would all be OK and the charges would be dropped. Caroline was telling me, "Mum, don’t say anything".Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth will premiere on Disney+ in the month of November.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more information.
