Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner has been in the headlines since news broke out of his in-house investigation by RB due to ‘serious allegations’ of ‘inappropriate behavior’ towards a female employee. Horner’s wife Geri Halliwell—former ‘Spice Girls’ singer—seemed to have supported her husband throughout his ongoing investigation.
However, with Christian Horner’s allegations reportedly being of ‘sexual misconduct’, Geri Halliwell now appears to be devastated over this news. Her former ‘Spice Girls’ mates have banded together to show her their support.
Spice Girls come forward to support Christian Horner’s wife
Earlier it was assumed that Horner was under investigation by Red Bull due to alleged controlling behavior after a female employee lodged an official complaint last year. But a recent report by De Telegraaf stated that hat a female employee submitted proof of Horner’s ‘sexually transgressive texts’ at Red Bull headquarters in Austria. As viewed by De Telegraaf, Horner sent these texts regularly and over a long span of time.
Following this fresh report of ‘sexual misconduct’ made against Christian Horner, his wife Geri Halliwell is rumored to have become mentally devastated and is having a ‘real’ bad time.
As per a recent report by The Sun, Geri Halliwell is being supported by her former ‘Spice Girls’ bandmates. Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham have all banded together at her side, while Horner is being investigated by RB.
“They are quietly supporting her behind the scenes and checking in to make sure she is OK,” a source said.
“Geri has been left broken by the ordeal but is grateful for the kindness being shown to her by friends,” The Sun reports.
Although Christian Horner has openly denied all the allegations made against him, Red Bull is still yet to offer a final verdict on the ongoing investigation.
Chirstian Horner’s s*xual misconduct case speculated to be over?
Red Bull has been investigation Christian Horner since the past two weeks. It was being speculated that the investigation won’t reach its conclusion so early and was likely to continue into the start of the 2024 F1 season. This speculation was supported by Horner’s presence at the RB20’s launch event, indicating that the investigation was ongoing.
However, the Fastest Pitstop stated on X that Red Bull is planning to conclude the investigation before the Bahrain Grand Prix starts on 2nd March. The source reported, “Red Bull wants to conclude the investigation into Horner early next week. Sources suggested the investigation could take until the opening race in Bahrain, but there is now a desire to accelerate the process in an effort to end the disruption as well as the uncertainty.”
While the truth of this news is still to be fact-checked, there is a high possibility that Red Bull would like to reach a conclusion before the 2024 season starts.
Are the ‘sexual misconduct’ allegations made against Horner really true? Will Geri Halliwell and Red Bull part ways with him if the allegations are proved true? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
