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?

She's got that look on her face that says no one is getting him he's mine.
Trouble is, anyone decent wouldn't want him.

👌🏻.

It's strange in the texts where he says he's being judged and says nannies!!

To be honest, it’s a good thing they’re still together. Anything that keeps her from needing to inflict her singing or any other media ‘talent’ on us is a good thing.

Gold diggers in the public eye usually find a new level enthusiasm to hound the public with their ‘artistic talents’ post a lucrative divorce.

Carpediemmakeitcount · 03/03/2024 11:32

When is the spice girls coming back together for another tour or concert?

All this publicity can not go to waste.

They deserve each other honestly she didn’t mind him leaving his ex holding the 6 MONTH OLD BABY

I was too old to be into the Spice Girls in the 1990s. Instead, I saw it for what it was - a cynical marketing exercise dreamt up by men and targeting young girls. The Spice Girls never gave a shit about Girl Power it was just something they were instructed to say. They have all fallen out a fair few times over the years too, I guess the thought of “reunion tours” keeps the contact going.

Geri looks pretty smug in the latest photos. They deserve each other.

I'm old enough to remember Girl Power and it was totally cringe, like the Women's Equality Party.

Also everyone knew that the Spice Girls were manufactured and managed by Simon Fuller! Unless of course, you were 12 which was who they were trying to fleece.

I always found the wearing white a bit odd because certainly in history of art, it did tie in with virginal/pure/innocent. Geri got together with someone else's guy when that someone else had just been through IVF / pregnancy, so (art) historically would have been seen as a bit of a scarlet woman. So obsessive white-wearing just always seemed strange... Sort of drawing attention to a desperation to be perceived as virginal when tbh that ship sailed a looooong time ago.

Refering to the above did you see that Geri had black edging on her white dress.
Don't know if that was intentional or not but it reminded me of something our late Queen & the rest of the royal family & others did/do: the use of mourning writing paper when a family member had died.
Mourning writing paper is white with black edging.

Maybe Geri is saying something with her clothes or maybe not & it's just a dress she's decided to wear as she likes it & it has no meaning/significance whatsoever.

dayswithaY · 03/03/2024 17:56

I think it’s just a dress. If she was that bothered about sending a message of female empowerment she wouldn’t be clinging to Dick Finger’s arm and mugging for the camera like a surrendered wife.

Expect the white clothing to continue, she’ll be in martyr mode.

There's many a wife hangs onto a cheater for money.

You don't have to look far on here to see women who won't leave a much worse arsehole with a flat in Wolverhampton. Cheating isn't a deal breaker for everyone.

Ramalangadingdong · 03/03/2024 19:28

In the videos he seems to
be holding onto her (far too) tightly. It’s as though he has taken her hostage in plain sight.

dayswithaY · 03/03/2024 19:59

And she’s got enough money of her own, I think she just wants to be a Trophy Wife.

I mean, career wise there’s not much going on is there?

Not 90s pop stars trying to live their lives.

I am much more interested in how anyone can summon the enthusiasm to have an opinion on something so trivial than on the subject of... What even is the subject? The life choices of someone you don't know and will never meet? Who gives a fuck?

Show quote history

Touché 🤷‍♀️

Ramalangadingdong · 03/03/2024 20:12

There is something incredibly satisfying about these celebrity scandals.

if I knew these people I would be very sympathetic, but as I only know them from their curated images, it is like watching a cartoon or a very dark rom com.

HornyHornersPinkyWinky · 03/03/2024 20:15

As soon as they got together she got his teeth sorted and his hair done, her project has gone rogue.

His hairline is already pretty high - how much worse was it before? Did he get plugs?

Why is everyone slagging off his looks and going with the tired 'I wonder what attracted her to a multimillionaire ...' trope? Am I not seeing something, she's an absolutely average bog standard looking woman in every way, but some acting as if she's some great beauty. Now Beyonce-Jay Z I can understand, she's beautiful and he's ugly as sin. But this dude and his wife? They're well matched in looks department.

And in sleezeball department too. Yes, he's a bigger dickhead for cheating on his pregnant partner - that's true, but let's just not pretend she's all squeaky clean and innocent in all this. She knew he had a partner, she knew said partner is pregnant. A decent person would go and bag a single millionaire, not fuck a taken dude.

Why? People like this absolutely have no conscience. They have no moral compass. Why would Geri take anyone else into consideration?

BudsBeginingSpringinSight · 03/03/2024 21:09

@HornyHornersPinkyWinky i googled and his hair looked high then and looks high now but he definitely looks different? I can't see any teeth evidence.

Can never be too rich but being his wife gets access all areas. Geri ran with Elton John and George Michael who were much richer and being with Horner lifted her into that bracket. Divorced means being rich with a nice house and little else. It will get sorted somehow and the publicity might put bums on seats.

User442681bgt · 03/03/2024 23:22

She looks like as if she is doing this against her will or better judgement. This one makes me cringe. Her left arm.

Can we discuss Geri
Hopingitsahornyfinger · 03/03/2024 23:31

What is her left arm doing? That really looks like she is being coerced.

MRSRUDEBOX · 03/03/2024 23:36

She's going out of her way not to touch him.

MrsWhattery · 03/03/2024 23:40

He’s also pinching the skin on her right arm. It’s horrible.

Hopingitsahornyfinger · 04/03/2024 00:47

Blooming heck @MrsWhattery , you're right, he is pinching her arm. Horrid. Hope she's ok (& im definitely no Geri fan!)

Inkanta · 04/03/2024 06:19

Crikey he is pinching her skin! Looks luke she's resisting him so he's hurting her. I reckon eventually she'll leave this guy and write about this time in a book. She wrote about that strange time she left Spice GIrls.
