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

You can tell it's real as most of that is SO BORING it was painful to read 🤣

Tame yes, but not when it starts affecting the work opportunities she is getting as a result (she asks him why he has stopped putting her in the same hotels as him when they travel for work). And she may have consented initially but the messages make it clear she is no longer a willing participant. The abuse of power comes from him being her boss and her feeling unable to say no. No wonder she went to RB to complain.

I meant the messages were tame.

I completely agree that his persistence could be an abuse of power. And it doesn’t really matter if he didn’t intend to abuse his power (which presumably was his argument). It is an issue of perception.

It isn’t enough to do/not something, you also have to be seen to do/not do it. Caesar’s Wife.

Blimey, that's quite the leak

Of all the kiss and tells over the years, especially those from the News of The World days, this is quite the leak.

I don't think we've ever seen screenshots like this before. A stark warning to men everywhere.

Technology will make any scorned woman win. This woman was certainly scorned and fed up of being his no.2.

It’s a good example of how men push and push women into affairs though. He is so persistent and just will not listen to her constantly saying now. Can imagine his narrative of the woman throwing herself at him. I think it is surely over for him and Geri. No particular sympathy for her though. She obliterated someone else’s life when she went after him and clearly gave no shits. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I don't think it's that tame, he's her boss and she clearly had no more interest in a romantic/sexual relationship with him but he wasn't taking no for an answer. It's really sleazy.

Not tame to me either. Saying he wished she had "finished him off" and he had to go into the bathroom on the plane to do it!!! Yuck

Kenthighst · 01/03/2024 11:06

Geri Halliwell Horner, take note.
This is "Girl Power" right here. Actions scream way louder than words.
Kudos to this woman who was not subservient to Horner & certainly did not follow his controlling instructions of "delete this chat".

100%. The powerful, rich man at work who wants a new plaything because the wife, cars, promotions have run their course.

Zero interest in anyone but themselves. Persue and flatter more junior women no end and drop them when they feel like it, ready to pick up and play with when they're ready.

Too many of them around.

Is that his winkie or his finger? 🤦‍♀️😬

Finger - unless he is very proud to have a VERY thin winkie with a nail at the end

That is the big ( well small) question!

I think maybe finger pictured to look dickish....wonder about the slimy stuff on the end though!

DoYouWantToStartACultWithMe · 01/03/2024 11:17

Am I going mad? None of the articles I have read have shown many of the leaked screenshots. Can someone link me please?

(I clicked on one image but it tried to take me to a porn site...says it all really) 🤣

whoknows1230 · 01/03/2024 11:21

It’s quite easy to work out the first name of the recipient of CH’s messages from one of those screenshots!

I think it's widely known that the recipient is his assistant, whose name wouldn't be widely known but would certainly be known to all in the paddock. There's no anonymity in the whole saga for her. I hope she knew the leak was coming.

underthebun · 01/03/2024 11:24

Black widow now? i think so

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 01/03/2024 11:27

@SerenityNowInsanityLater& his lovely pregnant partner had all that security until Girl Power Geri came along.

Hear, hear. I know this! It takes one to know one and all that. Believe me, I'm not quite saying 'Poor Ger' here. Personally, I find the woman beyond vacuous. But it just sucks all around. I honestly don't know why any of these people marry and have families. Why fake it?

I hope she did too. I hope she gets a massive payout from this as her career is probably over in F1 and she said she loved her job

Kenthighst · 01/03/2024 11:30

@whoknows1230 would she have signed a confidentiality contract do you think?
I really hope she goes to all the tabloids, does all the interviews & absolutely cleans up after this.
Yes, she said she loved her job. She deserved justice the first time around. Revenge is best served cold. Hope she makes a fortune out of this.

I’ll never see pulled out a plum in the same light again

He is going to get sacked for sure. F1 are trying to appear diverse and this isn't going to help. Also doesn't look great for the red bill brand.
All those feeling sorry for geri please remember she persuades him when he was married and left his pregnant wife to go off with her.

Changeeusername · 01/03/2024 11:33

Why on earth did he send a photo of his flabby man boob? Is that supposed to be enticing? Is that his willie in the other photo? I know someone said it was his finger but I'm not sure.

Prawncow · 01/03/2024 11:35

Karma’s gonna track you down …

boysmuminherts · 01/03/2024 11:36

Did this all go on pre Geri? Or was he having an affair?

MarchmontSt · 01/03/2024 11:38

Classic messages between people who've had an affair. Pretty mundane stuff but needy from both sides at times. Definitely hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She can earn a fortune with kiss and tell stories if she wishes. If I were Geri I'd kill him.

MermaidEyes · 01/03/2024 11:38

DifficultBloodyWoman · 01/03/2024 10:51

It’s very tame, really.

He had an affair with his PA. She kept copies of all correspondence. She lost interest. He didn’t.

I assume (I really don’t know for sure) that she reported this to their Powers That Be because she was uncomfortable working for him when he continued to (try to) flirt with her after she called time on their fling/one night stand/‘relationship’/screwing around/affair or whatever you want to call it.

I agree with this. You can tell by some of the messages that there was initially some kind of relationship and flirting, but then he refused to believe she wasn't interested any more.

Anyone know how Geri and Christian met? Did she persue him. Wondering what happened.
