Can we discuss Geri

I never knew she started having a relationship with Christian Horner whilst his long term partner was pregnant.
And that Christian left his partner for Geri whilst his long term partner was heavily pregnant.
I've only found this out by seeing the story about Christian's text message scandal on the internet.
This is truly shocking to me.
Is it really true? Or has it been misreported or exaggerated online?
I know things get misreported online. But if it's true, then this will really badly affect my opinion of Geri, who I've always really liked a lot.
Secondly, I googled images of Geri, and I noticed every image of her shows her wearing white clothes. White dresses. White suits. White tops. White trousers. White skirts. White knitwear. White ski gear. White swimsuit. It struck me as a bit odd, even possibly showing a bit of an obsessive trait - having to wear the same colour all the time. Does anyone else find this a bit unsettling?
If anyone on here is lucky enough to know her, is Geri ok?

Who the hell is Geri & why do you care??

Thepeopleversuswork · 02/03/2024 14:54

@MyLovelyPurse

True.

Theres a third and perhaps even nastier misogynistic trope you have not mentioned which is the subliminal one in which your failure to catch and hold onto a man (regardless of whether he’s a man worthy of holding onto) is a reflection of your own physical, moral and emotional failures.

See all the “she should have known he was going to do it again” posts. And the stuff about “karma”.

Truth is there’s no way of knowing if someone will cheat on you or not. Even the fact that they have previously cheated doesn’t guarantee anything. This is his fault, regardless of what she’s done in the past.

The fact that CH’s sleazy behaviour is being used as an excuse to examine Geri’s emotional state, her previous relationship history, her wardrobe etc is all evidence of this. I’m not naive enough that I don’t understand why people are interested but it’s fucking ugly the way the main imperative of a story like this is always to tear the woman to pieces.

You know who Geri Halliwell/Horner is. We know you know, you know we know you know. We don't know why you'd think anyone would believe that you don't know. But you know.

screendown · 02/03/2024 14:57

The white thing is odd. It works when it's a dress, but when she puts two different whites together in one outfit it doesn't look good.

And yet his parents didn't go to their wedding. Wonder why?!

He left his baby mother for another woman still doesn't mean he cheated on her. Unless there is proof then I believe they got together after he left her.

I don’t find the white thing weird at all. I use to work with a woman who outside of work wore nothing but white, it suited her, she was petite tanned and natural ash blond hair, she always looked stunning. I also have a friend whose entire wardrobe apart from the occasional blue jeans is black and white. In the 21 years I’ve known her I’ve never seen her in any other colour. I’ve never thought anything weird about it, she has a style and sticks to it.

Id actually never heard of the husband until recently nor the details of them getting together. If it’s true she pursued him when he was married with a baby on the way then I have zero sympathy for her if he’s cheated on her.

I keep seeing adverts for Daz on here and nothing else on this thread. Wonder if it's the mention of white clothes

Get your whites looking bright 😎

DarkDarkNight · 02/03/2024 15:01

The PR blitz is straight out of Victoria Beckham’s playbook and is so cringeworthy. Kissing for the cameras, it’s just so blatantly fake. Well I guess she’s standing by her man.

Margot2020 · 02/03/2024 15:06

Nobody knows why CH’s previous relationship ended other than the people that were in it. Karma also doesn’t exist, any adult with life experience knows this.

It’s depressing enough that the media enjoys further punishing and tearing apart women who’ve been humiliated and betrayed by the one person they should have been able to rely on, but to see so many women jump on the bandwagon is truly depressing. The utter glee in some of these posts is sickening. I can only assume that a lot of the women on here are fundamentally unhappy with their lot in life. That’s the typical type that enjoys bringing women like Geri down “a peg or two”.

SiobhanSharpe · 02/03/2024 14:40

I expect there was a detailed pre-nup. (And I'm sure she's not short of a bob or two herself. )

They have a child together and he has to pay until the child is 18. Prenup is only a bit of paper it won't hold any weight in court.

HermioneKipper · 02/03/2024 15:09

I generally don’t like to judge other women as you never know what’s going on behind the scenes but it’s pretty low to get involved with a man who has a pregnant partner at home - which everyone knew.

Hes obviously the main culprit but I think Geri is a scumbag as well in all this.

Just saw photos of them hand in hand at the Bahrain Grand Prix. I was hoping she’d be completely in black.

That would have been a stroke of genius!

HornyHornersPinkyWinky · 02/03/2024 15:11

I didn't realise he was so short.

MadameBrigitte · 02/03/2024 15:12

Its the old line If you marry your mistress you create a vacancy.

My only sympathy is with his first wife and the children.

You can't go wrong with a black and white outfit. I feel self-conscious when I wear different colours.

Dweetfidilove · 02/03/2024 15:13

Another day, another OW bashing thread.
(Meanwhile several wayward husbands are off , knee deep in forbidden spaces ). 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️.

Most will be forgiven too, but we’ll get to read all about/be nasty to the OW on the receiving end of their phones/dicks🤦🏾‍♀️.

I'd love to look as not good as that!

I think she looks great in that outfit.

Shes a pretty woman and she always looks good.

That's not the point though.

God, those images of her in Bahrain, Holding his hand, it’s so bad. What’s she doing. Hand in hand with her cheating husband. Where’s her dignity.

She left it on the plane

She left it at the altar
