Just followed her on Instagram, she has completely transformed.. Stunning country home, extremely posh accent... She's turned into a stepford wife... She looks incredible!

Why does she wear all white?
Because she wants to?

trying to be the trendy modern face of Christianity.

The Alpha Course. For those with questions about God/faith/religion.

Regardless of your beliefs or whether you already to to church.

OrangeBlossomsinthesun · 20/10/2021 12:59

Obviously she can wear whatever she wants I just wondered why she wears so much white. I mean she's almost exclusively dressed in white from head to toe on instagram.

There's so much nasty inverted snobbery and gossip on this thread. "Yes, let's drag this woman down to our level because she thinks she's better than us. Who does she think she is raising above her born station. And she's a tart to boot! Burn her!"

Oh come on! No one can deny that Geri Halliwell/Horner has made it her life work to claw her way into the upper echelons of society. Congrats to her - she made it. Whether she made it with her morals in tact is entirely up for debate.

Vladimir Sporty is on American Strictly at the moment I believe! She’s still releasing albums and the like.

There was a very interesting thread on a forum about these two at the time of it all happening. A "friend" of his ex partner wrote that he'd missed the birth as he was in the Far East at an F1 event and didn't hurry back as Geri was with him. They also claimed that Geri drove him to see the baby and waited outside, and gave him a gift to give the baby along with a letter from her DD Shock. The baby was the result of fertility treatment and was very much wanted by him as she already had two teenage sons............

It's all very "alleged" of course, but this person said that the ex was beyond devastated, it came from nowhere..... and of course his parents didn't attend the wedding. His ex has an Instagram page for her and their DD and his parents are in most of the photos. Seems pretty telling really. She's maintained an incredibly dignified silence over it all.

Makes a bit of a mockery about "girl power" though, doesn't it? She was photographed hanging around the F1 paddocks for years before..........

I am significantly above Geri if we’re comparing thank you very much.

mydogisthebest · 20/10/2021 13:32

Probably when she married the tosser Horner. Always whinging and whining. I am amazed that some posters find him attractive. To me he is not the slightest bit good looking but, even if he was, he has a horrible personality.

I think the way his ex was treated is disgusted and Geri has to take some of the blame for that.

When I see her smug grinning face at F1 races I want to kick the tv in. As to always wearing white I find that pretentious and pathetic

TravelLost · 20/10/2021 13:36

Wow @SoniaFouler, and people are not allowed to change with time? And what they did as a young adult/teenager should be used to put them down because clearly working as topless model means that .... what??
She is stupid, low, a slut? Enlighten me please....

Very interesting attitude towards women really...

Hugoslavia · 20/10/2021 13:36

When she stole someone else's husband and started to move in richer circles. Horribly fake lady.

Yep. Very clearly.
You just have to look at the first posts all about who she was befiore and that clearky this is who she is really is, incl the topless model part....

I suspect there is also a lot of jealousy. I mean those women are not supposed to become successful are they?

Did she steal her Dh now?

I mean he didn't agree to get married iwth her? He didn't decide to get divorced and had aboslutely NOTHING to do with his own divorce? Now it's the OW (if she was, I have no fucking clue) fault of course because poor man couldn't possibly take any decision on his own...

Mysogyny is deeply ingrained :(

whynotwhatknot · 20/10/2021 13:42

didnt his parents refuse to go to the wedding because of the way he treated his ex

Classica · 20/10/2021 13:44

@whynotwhatknot

Yes they did. Good for them I thought, showing such loyalty to his ex.

Oh the usual sad jealousy comment.

I am not jealous of her in the slightest. Married to that horrible man!

shamalidacdak · 20/10/2021 13:46

@Thesearmsofmine

Yeah she looks great but I lost any respect I had for her when she was carrying on with her now husband while his partner was pregnant. Both of them behaved appallingly.
Well if that's how she got him then that's how she'll lose him
MilduraS · 20/10/2021 13:48

I know someone who works for her husband's formula 1 team. They had a 90s themed Christmas party a year or two ago and I was so disappointed to hear that she didn't turn up in a Union Jack dress. No idea what she actually wore because I lost interest once I heard it wasn't ginger spice Grin

AnnaSW1 · 20/10/2021 13:52

I'm more interested in the fact she now dresses like a cult leader

peaceanddove · 20/10/2021 13:53

@Chocolateflapjack01

Just looked at her IG. The riding photos are cringe to the max. Who is she trying to kid that she's horsey? No experienced horsey person wears white breeches outside of competitions, certainly not for leisurely hacks around the home. It's like a French and Saunders sketch!

Don't know what she sounded like before re her voice, but there's definitely an air of 'trying too hard to be classy and posh' about her Insta!

I am just jealous though! I want to waft around on my multimillion pound farm, just riding all day.

Have to agree with this one. She looks like she's spent all of 5 minutes on horseback. Her posture and hands are so stiff and awkward.

I expect she's a total fish out of water in her DH's social circle. It can't make for a very relaxed life.

I know someone who went to the same school as GH and she is older than she claims to be .

MolyHolyGuacamole · 20/10/2021 14:09

I'd transform for a 'posh' life too 😂

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/10/2021 14:17

I’d rather live with Horner than Wolff.

TertiusLydgate · 20/10/2021 14:17

Lol at ‘cult leader’.

If she is a novice rider, she has a pretty good seat.

I’d quite like to live like her. Minus all the white clothes.

flowersmakeitbetter · 20/10/2021 14:17

Look at some early interviews of the Spice Girls and the accent is put on.

She's from Watford. She's not posh.
