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

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

I tried to work it out. I only got as far as Fiona which didn't sound right. What do you think?

MagnificentHats · 01/03/2024 11:41

Where are people reading the messages? The news reports are just vaguely mentioning them.

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

Actually...I think its finger but turned palm-upwards so it's the underside and the photo is of the finger covered in something slimey with a blob of it on the finger tip.

Looks a bit like a bathroom / loos in the background and that is the point where I don't wish to think about it anymore.

Yes where are people reading the messages?!

There are screenshots all over X / Twitter

@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’d imagine there will be a watertight NDA in exchange for any financial compensation

Definitely Fiona. If you Google “fiona redbull executive assistant”, her full name comes up

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

They met at F1. He had a very long term partner who was pregnant. Geri set her sights on him and attended as many F1 races as possible and he ended up leaving his long term partner when they baby was a few months old.

His parents were so disgusted with his behaviour they refused to attend his wedding to Geri as they couldn't believe he did what he did to Bev (his long term partner).

I pretty sure there would have been an NDA as part of the employment contract. I don’t think she has received financial compensation but perhaps that just isn’t being reported (money in return for accepting him being publicly ‘not guilty’)?

Of course, another story goes that Bev and Christian were already on the rocks. Then an unplanned pregnancy. Life with a newborn is the toughest time in a relationship. So he left her.

He isn’t covered in glory in any version.

Karma’s gonna track you down …

Isn’t it just. It will leave no stone unturned in the search for justice. Pair of arseholes

ConsistentlyElectrifiedElves · 01/03/2024 11:55

I've seen the Google Drive and agree with the posters that say that, if these are the true documents, his PA has obviously gone from being flattered, to falling for it, regretting it and trying to back out of it, at which point he's not taking no for an answer.

When she started going cold on him he kept pushing and pushing, and even started trying to tell her who she could and couldn't see.

The accusations of abuse of power, inappropriate relationships and being controlling are all there to see. He repeatedly asks her to delete her side of the chat "like he has".

I can only assume the "independent" party that carried out the internal process at RB wasn't given access to the employee's evidence and conveniently all these chats were deleted from his phone.

If he's at next week's GP it'll be a miracle.

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 01/03/2024 11:56

Good Lord, I had forgotten the total sleaze behind his getting together with Geri until I was reminded by another poster.
Ick. Ugh! All this sleaze... and he's got a merguez sausage for a dick.
Yuck.

sansol · 01/03/2024 11:58

@whoknows1230 clever you. Yes that makes sense. Purely from judging a picture she doesn't look like the sort of person to play second fiddle to his wife.

The child was conceived through ivf.

There was an overlap though. That hasn't ever been disputed. He is an absolute bastard. But then as others have said Geri created a vacancy and karma has bit her on the arse.

Cos he’s rich

DiamondGazette · 01/03/2024 12:04

From what I've read, Geri set her cap at him a few years before she got him. I suppose F1 racing is a glamorous sport, with plenty of very wealthy relatively young men around. The way she tells it, she and Christian are soulmates and fell for each other the minute they first clapped eyes on each other, and it was a fairytale romance. A really Grimm fairytale.

I wonder how this is going to pan out? Will she stand by her man like Victoria Beckham did? Have another baby if she can, like VB did? Sweep it all under the carpet and pretend life at Horner's Corner is just a dream come true?

Or will she go for revenge? Find another, younger, prettier, richer man and flaunt him in the papers at every opportunity? Screw her dopey husband for a multimillion pound settlement?

Well deserved too

Esse1234 · 01/03/2024 12:08

If the RB enquiry saw those texts (assuming they're real) I'm surprised they're still happy for him to remain in such a high profile position.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 01/03/2024 12:10

I daresay she’ll do the Girl Power thing and cling on like a limpet to her “soul mate”. Totes embarrassing
