Red bull formula one boss
What's the story?
Someone mentioned he is hero Halliwell's husband but could be in trouble at work?

At the moment it is all speculation but F1 Red Bull have not issued a statement saying these messages are fake, perhaps they are hoping it will just fade away…

No chance of that. If it was in the off season, maybe but first race weekend? The best thing CH could do IMHO would be to take time off to deal with these issues and let whoever is second in charge deal with the race. Put the focus back on the team.

It calls red bulls integrity into question. They did say it was a private matter after the leak, but as this is an employee, I do not think they can get away with going into hiding on it.

thats the big question for me. How was he cleared. Maybe they took the line of at one point it was consensual (even if just flirting) and as such anything after is between the two of them, but that’s not ok.

maybe he did a deal. That if they clear him he will quit after the season. Save his reputation, let him exit at his own time and save the whole thing being messy, and that also isn’t ok.

if an employee raises a grievance, they have to manage it correctly. Irrelevant of who it is the grievance is against.

whomever leaked though clearly was pissed at the cover up, I mean that’s a proper leak, it was about 150 people they sent it to. It was then leaked all over twitter.

someone proved a point.

Girl power was a load of marketing bullshit created by sales men to sell crappy music to little girls.

Of course it was.

Surely everyone over the age of 15 knew that? Geri will stick by her man , no matter what comes out...and look at Victoria Beckham, she stands by him even though he has an eye for other women...

All very Tammy Wynette..

@LondonPapa why?

tye messages are incredibly explicit; he has tried to video call her, talk about inappropriate things, sent a dick pic, and all the while she is telling him no, she’s not interested and what would Geri think?

I liked Horner but he’s screwed himself and I hope he gets the sack.

Mystery2345 · 01/03/2024 09:24

I am still laughing at the random "Lesbians!!" he throws in to a message

What a moron.

Show quote history

I do. Not think the messages are incredibly explicit, and I don’t think it’s a dick pic either, but may habe missed something as there are so many.

Pookerrod · 01/03/2024 09:37

My DH was sent the Google Drive yesterday and we were reading some of the messages last night. They were cringe worthy. A boss cracking onto his PA 🤢. But I also think it’s a finger.

But my favourite message was the one where he was telling her to make sure she deletes the exchange in case her phone gets hacked… he could see the future… I want to ask him what tonight’s lottery numbers are

Fulshaw · 01/03/2024 09:38

This is so humiliating and devastating for Geri. Really feel for her.

underthebun · 01/03/2024 09:41

Do you think she will stop wearing all white now?

underthebun · 01/03/2024 09:42

I wonder who leaked it, they were clearly peeved!

It can’t be that much of a surprise to her given how he treated Beverley when he met Geri tbh

I read the messages on twitter (x) last night, someone leaked the google idrive.

its 75 screenshots of what’s app screens with 5-10 messages on each (depending on length of message, or if selfies)

half of it is innocuous shit. Some selfies of him looking into his phone, the rest is absolutely harrassment, she repeatedly tells him to stop, it does read to me like there was once maybe a fairly intimate relationship and she calls a halt to it, but he doesn’t stop.

i cannot see the messages are fake, nor are they claiming they are. It would take an extra ordinary effort.

the question for me, is how the hell was he cleared. Or red bull saying it’s a personal matter. It’s obviously not, and it’s obvious what her role in the team is.

it’s incredibly damning and no one who reads it would think otherwise, or realistically feel it’s faked.

Agree it looks like the other woman was a willing participant once. Clearly got fed up of being picked up and dropped by a man having his cake and eating it too.

The challenge is, just like Kyle Walkers 'bit on the side' is that they more often than not develop feelings and maybe at some stage believe they will end up the main woman. After some time they realise it's not the case and don't have a distraction away from it.

So they're left to their own devices knowing full well the married man is playing happy families. It's not coincidence both women have gone public around Christmas or not long after.

The most famous loneliest time for the 'other women' as detailed by Gordon Ramsays affair partner, she said 7 Christmases alone were the hardest part.

And is THAT picture a finger or a dick?

I cannot decide. I think finger, but I dunno.

I thought finger covered in... ahem,

Black widow now?

I've found the all white very weird for a while. Her poor housekeeper must hate her.

Geri started off as his mistress so she knew exactly what he's like. Horner's parents were so upset at the treatment of Beverly they didn't go to their wedding.

I don't, she knew he dumped his pregnant partner to be with her....

EsmaCannonball · 01/03/2024 07:59

One wonders the exact justification that 'independent investigation' used for finding he had no case to answer?

The messages are so puerile and unsexy. They sound like a pathetic man constantly badgering a junior employee for sexual engagement and she's stuck in the difficult position of being completely unenthused but not wanting to piss him off. Creep.

Is that what this is about? Him sending messages to another woman? Shocker seeing as he dumped his pregnant gf for the Halliwell woman. Talk about what goes around eh… x

Sarahconnor1 · 01/03/2024 09:57

At best horner is a sleeze. While Geri isn't responsible for horners' behaviour, it seems that old cliche has been brought to life. When she married him, she created a vacancy

whatapickle12 · 01/03/2024 10:03

I can't see them been fake. There is a lot of mundane work chat thrown in there. I think if they were fake it would be a lot more saucy so to speak. It does look like a sad old man making eyes on his PA who does reject him a lot. That said, you don't know if it was consensual prior to the conversations we are shown.

I also enjoyed the random 'lesbians!!!' And also talking about coco pops for breakfast. I think the picture is a finger covered in ...

safetyfreak · 01/03/2024 10:05

I always thought he looked like a slime, he just has the look.

Wintersgirl · 01/03/2024 10:07

Weird looking bloke, he's all head and no eyes...money talks I suppose

I don't. She chased him while his partner was pregnant, and while she couldn't make him leave, that's still scummy behaviour. This PA has shown a lot more class and 'girl power' than sleazy old Geri ever had.
