Caroline Flack’s ex Andrew Brady posts non-disclosure agreement on Instagram with caption ‘abuse has no gender’
CAROLINE Flack's ex-fiancé Andrew Brady today posted a gagging order the Love Island host made him sign with the cryptic hashtag "abuse has no gender".
The non disclosure agreement (NDA) was shared just days after the Love Island host, 40, was charged with attacking her current boyfriend, Lewis Burton, at her flat in North London.
Brady's hashtag was posted alongside copies of the document - that could be construed as implying abusive conduct.
However, there has never been any suggestion of physical violence in their previous relationship.
The heavily redacted three-page document is dated March 14, 2018 - weeks before the pair got engaged.
Addressed to "Andrew", it begins: "Due to the nature of your relationship, you may have access to certain confidential and private information". [redacted]
No personal information is disclosed, but the signatory is asked to do "everything within your power to protect the confidentiality of the confidential information".
The former Apprentice candidate told the Sun Online that he did not wish to comment.
Sources close to Caroline said he was only asked to sign an NDA over fears he may talk.
It states he must not share information relating to her "private life and family affairs".
Her "habits, opinions, policies, beliefs, attitudes, lifestyle, possessions, health, acquaintances, family, residences or activities" were also off limits.
The Sun understands Andrew was happy to sign and has broken the agreement by posting it.
A source said: "Andrew was the only one of Caroline’s partners ever asked to sign an NDA. Friends encouraged her to do it because they were unsure of his motives.
"By sharing the documents he has shown he can’t be trusted.”
Brady's three days after cops were called to an alleged bust-up at Caroline's North London flat.
The row erupted after Flack reportedly accused 27-year-old Burton of cheating — triggering a drunken row in which she allegedly hit him with a mobile phone.
A source told the Sun on Sunday said the row was caused by a misunderstanding over messages from a 60-year-old woman in Lewis’s tennis coaching class.
Both Caroline and Lewis are said to deeply regret Thursday’s early hours bust-up — and he wishes it had not led to her arrest and criminal charges.
Lewis was not seriously injured, but Caroline later needed hospital treatment after accidentally cutting herself on broken glass during the incident.
Blood stains were spotted on her front door door yesterday, though it is not clear if they were related to the incident.
'TOXIC'
Brady and Flack started dating in February last year, becoming engaged two months later but splitting before the end of the year.
The 29-year-old, who moved to Australia after they broke up, previously tweeted that he was "not surprised" by Caroline's arrest.
Andrew had previously spoken out against his ex, branding their relationship "toxic".
He made the claim as he got the tattoo of her initials on his wrist covered up with a new inking of a map of Australia.
Andrew posted on Instagram: "It's exactly a year tomorrow since I left a very toxic relationship and got away. Leaving probably saved my life. I mark it one year on by doing something I probably should have done a while ago."
Caroline has now been bailed and is due to appear at Highbury Corner magistrates’ court next Monday.
A spokesman for Caroline said: “Any suggestion Mr Brady has made that our client is in any way abusive would be false and defamatory.”
