and that I should apparently be sad that she no longer does.
I hate it when this sort of thing happens. It forces me to confront aspects of popular culture I've spent years deliberately avoiding.

She had a nice pair of tits.
This is quite the eulogy you chaps are putting together.
Honestly, though, I'm genuinely rather impressed with myself. This woman was apparently befouling our airwaves for well over a decade amnd I managed to remain blissfully unaware of her existence until now. This is what a rigid regime of cultural snobbery and never watching ITV can achieve.
Apparently she was terrified about the use of police body cam footage at the trail. Presumably she was behaving like a psychopath.
Do we think that there would be this outpouring of grief had it been a guy committing suicide after beating his girlfriend to within an inch of her life? The press sure aren’t perfect but I see them reporting nothing but facts in this case.
Sorry, but are you suggesting that reporters ought to soft-pedal stories about the criminal behaviour of public figures just in case they huff off and top themselves?
I'm not sure that a willingness to give in to emotional blackmail is a good basis for a free press.
She has been hounded by the press for the last few months, she was obviously suffering sever mental health issues (threats to kill herself, self harm) , and as far as i'm aware she hadn't been found guilty of anything. Her boyfirend (who was very drunk at the time) called the police, anmd who also didn't want her charged, so who knows what she had done and what she hadn't done.
Correct, but she has been hounded by the press when they kneww full well of her mental health issues, that is also a fact. There is the usual talk that things will change, but they won't, the press try to sell papers/advertising/click bait so they won't give a damn, ont the next celeb and damn the consequences
Well the fact she killed herself suggests stress, anxiety and depression must feature somewhere, the fact an Ambulance was called the day before she killed herself also suggests this, the fact a friend was staying with her as her family were concerned what she might do also suggests there were mental health issues.
They didn't just report the facts they glorified them to make it a "bigger" story.
By 'hounded', you mean 'faced the media scrutiny usual to a famous person accused of a violent crime'. Surely you can see that pleading mental health and threats of self-harm as a way of getting the press of your case is a tactic that could be cynically manipulated by anyone who wants to avoid scrutiny? The idea that the press should back off just because a celeb plays the mental health card just doesn't fly, I'm afraid.
And her boyfriend asking that she not be prosecuted isn't really relevant, since the CPS policy is to prosecute in cases of domestic violence regardless of what the alleged victim says. Not doing so risks abusers manipulating their victims so that they get away with it.
Yes i do mean what you said, and how they report it is completly over the top, always has been and since social media took off it has become worse. She was obviously a troubled individual but that didn't cause the press to back off in the slightest.
And I am perfectly aware what the law states on domestic violence, she was more than likely guilty, but from what I can gather she has inflicted serious injuries on herself on the evening in question, so again, it was fairly obvious that she had serious mental health issues.
And I would repeat that if that was the case, it was up to the authorities and her family to protect her from herself.
She worked on a show that exploited stupid, vain, young people by placing them under the microscope for public entertainment. Some couldn't cope and killed themselves. They'd committed no crimes and received no protection. But she, as someone who was complicit in this shít should have been treated more carefully because she was famous? Bóllocks.
