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?

It is true and his parents refused to attend his wedding to Geri

BobbyBiscuits · 02/03/2024 11:03

I have a problem with the lies she tells about herself. She lied that she was pulled out of class at school in 1993 when her father died, and used that experience to write a godawful kids book, aimed at capitalising on childhood bereavement. In 1993 she was 21 years old and working as a tacky gameshow hostess, so not a bereaved child then? She also inexplicably lied about attending a secondary school that I know she didn't. She claimed she studied ' theatre and literature for several years'. prior to her 'fame.' So she attended secondary school where she did an English and drama GCSE? It's probably not even that. Why constantly lie? I guess she likes white and thinks these are 'only' white lies?

Maverick66 · 02/03/2024 11:04

I can discuss Geri
She is a has been who has had her day in the sun.
He is a very rich man who thinks with his dick.
It's unlikely what becomes of them will ever affect any part of my life so therefore she is irrelevant.

NecessaryNC24 · 02/03/2024 11:06

He's another boring man, who thinks his wealth allows him to behave how he wants

It's fascinating isn't it, most intelligent people see them for the entitled wankers they are but they're just there happy in their own little bubble.

Really can’t understand what these women saw in him. He looks like Brian from Sales.

I think his 4m a year salary helps somewhat

But do you literally only wear black? No other colour ever?

Geri even wears white coats and white shoes to go with all her white clothes. I do think it's a bit unusual. I've never googled images of her before, so had never noticed the purely white wardrobe.

Yes I do only exception is 1 pair of blue jeans that I own.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 02/03/2024 10:34

Yes it's true. She did kind of stalk him from 2009 onwards, and early photos of them together (before they got together) he looks very awkward with her. Then she got her wish and he left his long term partner when the baby was just a few months old for her. She seems to have forgotten that when she married him she created a vacancy of a mistress.

Absolutely.

Plus it was reported at the tome how his parents refused to go to their wedding due to their poor behaviour to his ex. Says it all really. Glad someone in his family has principles.

Ariona · 02/03/2024 11:07

I really can't get on board with 'he fucked up, well she had it coming' misogynistic bullshit.

Why is it misogynistic? She was part of the problem. She cheated equally with him. Why does she deserve an ounce of sympathy, because she is a
Woman ? Because she was a poor innocent woman who was lured by the big bad man? Ffs, she knew exactly what she did. AND she did it to a pregnant woman. So she's just got what's come to her, and even better it's public and humiliating on a bigger scale exactly like what she did to that other woman.
Can you ever imagine being pregnant with your long term partner and then having a new baby in these traumatic circumstances- give your head a wobble.
They are both equally as vile as each other.

yeahiknoww · 02/03/2024 11:09

She's always struck me as quite smug and unlikeable.

Didn't realise she was her husbands affair partner and he left his pregnant wife for her.

Sounds like she's got her comeuppance

You’ve no ide the state of his relationship or what she understood. I’m sorry for whatever has went on in your life but don’t protect if you don’t know. And you don’t. Anymore than any of us do.

Same here black always doesn't make me unsettle

Oh please! What do you need to know that a man has a pregnant partner(all very public knowledge) and be confused about. But go on make excuses for cheaters. There's nothing to 'understand' about that.

And nothing has happened to me like this. Just that morally I would never do that to another woman. But I realise not all of us are the same.

NecessaryNC24 · 02/03/2024 11:15

The white thing could be, 'I'm just far too rich to worry about stains; my cleaners, laundresses and carpet cleaners do all that for the minimum wage'.

That makes sense and I agree that it's no different than the clebs who stick to the black, white shirt/blue jeans. Parisians women like monocrome/neutral. If you shop online and don't particularly like shopping it makes sense. She does wear/carry coloured accessories.
The baby was born earlier than expected while he was working in the Japanese grand prix.

What a nasty premise for a thread.

With all the things going on in the world and you want to talk about an ex Spice girl. Really says it all. It's sad.

BoohooWoohoo · 02/03/2024 11:19

Not every woman is into fashion and may find being able to buy everything a chore rather than blessing. Women can’t get away with doing a Steve Jobs and having a signature outfit that you wear every day (because you’d be compared to Elizabeth Holmes) and waste so much angst and time on the what to wear dilemma because other women (not men) are so judgy. I see it as no big deal that her wardrobe is mainly one colour 🤷‍♀️

EarringsandLipstick · 02/03/2024 11:19

If you believe the press and the F1 paddock gossip.

That's probably the key isn't it? Who would?

She married a cheat … and is now suprised he is cheating. She likes the money and the (current) status. It’s a man who didn’t go home for the birth of his child as he (allegedly) stayed in Singapore with Ginger.

He’s another boring man, who thinks his wealth allows him to behave how he wants

Pretty sure she doesn’t need his money? She has plenty of her own.

I don’t have a strong opinion either way on her and I don’t know what happened to his previous relationship but I think starting a thread to slag off a woman who you haven’t met based on her choice of partner and her wardrobe is small minded and tacky as fuck.
