I think Geri has a penis beaker by the bed, and drops in a little bit of Milton.... hence the shiny ahem body parts.

Tattle (yeah I know) has a winkie ir pinkie poll and so far #Team Cock is leading the race.

Just watched BBC Sports News and the presenter skipped over the controversies surrounding Hornygate, and just blethered on about the first race being today and not Sunday because of Ramadan. #Team Disappointed

We’re a good week away from Ramadan yet.

Horner is an arrogant, narcissist and a sleazy arsehole. It's not news in the paddock.

The reality is that this is a power game between rich people for the control of F1 Red Bull team. Horner has lost crucial support within the Red Bull with Marko wanting to get rid of him. There is a bigger fight in the background within FIA teams.

I feel sorry for the PA. She is nothing to them all (women are easily discarded in F1) and she'll be used in a white, rich, racist and powerful male industry, until she can be spatted out.

All women are collateral damage in F1

And in most areas of life.

'Regardless I don’t think he deserves to lose his job over it'

No I don't either. Married man has a fling, it's nothing new and as RB are doing so well I really doubt they'll sack him over it.

I'd be very surprised if Geri left him either tbh. The jetset lifestyle seems far too alluring to give up over a load of boring messages and clearly some sexual interaction, it doesnt seem to be anything like a passionate love affair. Shit yes and she'll never trust him again obviously. The humiliation must really sting.

But it's not just "married man has affair". It's "married man in position of authority over an employee has an affair with her, then doesn't leave her alone"

OK it's from 2023 but it's still a grab bruise.
Doesn't matter whether the bruise was from this year or last year.
Are you saying if it was from last year then it doesn't matter?!
You might have an autoimmune condition that causes bruising but Geri does not have an autoimmune condition. I know this.

Unless you are her GP, you know nothing. If you are her GP, you should be struck off for talking about her.

There needs to be 7 days between races so next week's in Jeddah will be Saturday too, due to Ramadan.

Scroll down the page and look at the picture of Geri taken a few days ago on 19th February at the BAFTAs.
She has a new bruise on her upper arm, clearly visible. That is a grab bruise. Someone has grabbed hold of her arm hard.
I do annual safeguarding training. It's one of the parts of the body to cause concern if it is bruised there.

I hate posts like this. You have absolutely no idea how that bruise got there.

Me too. She could just as well have fallen off her horse. I bruise easily as well, I've generally got one in an odd/suspicious place - nowt to do with being grabbed!

Me too, I have exactly the same bruise, in the same location, as I banged my arm, in fact I also have one on my lower arm. I am not domestically abused. Far from it. It is utterly appalling to look at an image and decide you know how the bruise happened.

TheDowagerDoughnut · 02/03/2024 09:16

I'm glad it's just a jizz covered finger and nothing sinister.

A blurred jizz covered finger is quite sinister enough for me. Grin

Have those who were saying it was just a fling and shouldn’t affect his job read all the messages? There are ones where she questions why he has stopped her travelling and staying with him as her role was supposed to be a travelling PA. He then says it is because he doesn’t want the “agro” of her judging him for flirting with her and because if she is staying at the same hotel he knows he’ll ask for her.
Even if it was a mutually consensual fling (which given the number of times she ignores him or tells him to stop, feels unlikely especially when you consider the power imbalance) as soon as he limits her career it is obviously wrong.

SausageRoll58 · 02/03/2024 09:25

I'm actually sick to death of hearing about that piddly little bloke and his equally creepy useless misses and his tarts. Like all the other ''celebrities'' and their egomaniac boring lives.

I've got far more interesting things to do with my life than bow down to worship any of those lot!

the80sweregreat · 02/03/2024 09:25

It's a tale as old as time and I do have sympathy for Geri as it's humiliating enough without all the added text messages / pics plastered everywhere on the internet.
Many Years ago it would be in the Sunday papers under ' a source said ' type thing, but nothing to actually to physically see or read just speculation. That must make it all ten times worse for her and their children too
Plus if he hadn't been married to her it probably wouldn't have this amount of publicity either ( but I don't follow F1 )

That’s not quite what it says though is it. Go back and reread. He suggests seperate hotels and that she says defeats the purpose of her being a travelling pa. He then says he just doesn’t want agro

Panama2 · 02/03/2024 09:26

I cannot get my head round how stupid he has been or just completely arrogant never thinking he would have to answer for his behaviour.

Here is a person at the top of the game successful being paid oodles of money a lovely family oh lets risk everything and show myself up for sending cringe messages and digit dick picks wtf.

But if the travelling PA does normally fly with him and stay at the same hotels, she is right in saying that it is odd and defeats the purpose. The point is that he is treating her differently in a work environment than anyone else doing that job or how the job was supposed to be done.

the80sweregreat · 02/03/2024 09:30

CH is just a class twat paid 8 million a year in a job many people would love to have and be proud of. Now he is just a laughing stock and dragged everyone down to his level.
The fact it was initially covered up by Red Bull is also worrying ( if not surprising) and he must have known those texts etc were around too.
It's all so sleazy

It's hard to have any sympathy tbh. She surely knew exactly what she was getting into and if he suggested separate hotels so what, was she worried he'd had his head turned by another wannabe bit on the side?

I loathe flings but I loathe it more when parties doing the shitty sneaking about then start complaining. I mean she's kept all those messages and someone has leaked them for a reason.

Play wirh fire and you might get your fingers burnt. A lesson for the pair of them.

Eight million pounds a year????
Is that really how much he gets paid??

You have no idea who leaked those messages. It’s more likely to be someone from Redbull who wants rid of him.

TheDowagerDoughnut · 02/03/2024 09:38

Yup. £8m per year and he still can't keep his finger in his trousers.

Chrysanthemum5 · 02/03/2024 09:38

I've read the latest Daily Mail update (posted up thread)

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13147713/Geri-Halliwell-holds-crisis-talks-Christian-Horners-text-leak-turmoil-Fragile-Spice-Girl-didnt-want-meet-F1-boss-husband-talked-family-emerges-knew-female-employee-messaging.html

Two things strike me. Firstly the source close to Geri has a very flowery way of speaking, almost like Geri has written it herself about her lovely marriage.

Second they say his mother persuaded her to go to Bahrain to support him. Unlikely given that his mother was so disgusted by their behaviour to his previous partner that she didn't go to their wedding. His mother seems a woman of standards
