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?

What a nasty thread. Trashing any named individual on a public website is a pretty unpleasant thing to do. And that's regardless of that person's failings, mistakes or choice of clothing.

To be quite honest in my 20s none of us had an opinion on Geri apart from a bit Hmm when she was seeing Robbie Williams and doing yoga on the beach.

I do know of someone in that area (the F1) and she says yes Geri chased Chris. She also says (this woman has a motor sports and other areas promotions company) that Geri is a bitch but was ok with her as she was a business woman.

I mean she got what she wanted but she looks high maintenance and a bit smug.

The fact she only ever wears white clothes is barking mad and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Happens all the time here though where people comment on nice and not nice celebs.

Good for you. Steadfast in your umm opinions

There are two misogynistic tropes coming up over and over again on this thread and It’s infuriating and sad. The tropes are:

  1. If a man cheats on his wife or pregnant girlfriend it’s somehow the OW fault even though it’s the man who has lied and broken promises, not the OW
  2. If any woman gets together with a rich man she must be a gold digger, even if she is very rich herself. I have never ever heard of a rich man marrying a rich woman being called a gold digger. Why? Misogyny

I don’t know GH and don’t usually have an opinion about her but in this situation I can only feel sorry for her. Why read about something crap a man has done and use it as an excuse to criticise the woman?

It's equally the other woman's fault as she KNEW his wide was pregnant. I tar both the man and the OW with the same brush, it's got nothing to do with their sex as everything to do with their shitty morals of an alley cat.

I can't stand on MN when women do despicable things and we as women bend over backwards to excuse it cos "misogyny". No, I'm sorry, if you're a shit human, you're a shit human and your genitalia type doesn't make it less so.

MadameBrigitte · 02/03/2024 13:58

The idyllic life she likes to portray as lady of the manor has gone for good now. Can't say I feel any sympathy for her whatsoever.

Also what's happened to her accent? Has she had elocution lessons?

Who cares about Geri? She has just had a massive dose of public humiliation and karma.
She now knows how that feels.
He won't give a shit. He has no moral compass and the pr team will be working overtime trying to minimise it all.
I feel for his children and that's where my sympathy lies. It must be humiliating for them.

This! You lay down with dogs you get fleas!

I wonder if his parents ever came round and accepted her. And I really hope the wife of the baby he left, doesn't even care. I hope she's having a better and happier life living away from that scum.

Woodyandbuzz1 · 02/03/2024 14:01

White suits her 🤷‍♀️ we only see a tiny amount of her in the scheme of things. She most likely wears other colours at home.

In regards to the cheating... how you get them is how you lose them.

Some people just don't suit monogamy and should stay single.

Tracker1234 · 02/03/2024 14:01

She seems to want people to believe she has this perfect life when in fact…..

User14March · 02/03/2024 14:02

She’s incredibly driven, intelligent, ambitious & singled minded. For that, she’s admirable. I remember when she dated the Aristo who didn’t commit. Henry?…

She wanted security for life I expect & status re: ‘Country life’…

millymog11 · 02/03/2024 14:02

I think Horner was a strange choice for Geri.

When she met Horner she was a multi millionaire in her own right.

When they got together I thought Geri must have some major unresolved phsycological rivalry with Victoria Beckham and she genuinely felt marrying Horner put her on the same "level" status wise as Victoria. Sad all round really. I also think Geri is not the kind of person to spend too much time consulting her own conscience in any way (if she has a conscience) about the idea that he already had a pregnant partner when they first met. Not a factor.

WhingeInTheWillows · 02/03/2024 14:05

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

diddl · 02/03/2024 14:05

Like a lot of women who marry a cheater she probably thought that she could change him.

Or that it was worth the risk.

Or that he would at least be discreet.

BlueGrey1 · 02/03/2024 14:07

I suspect that the OP is a rally mail journalist looking for fodder……I think there is quite a bit of this going on on MN

User14March · 02/03/2024 14:08

@millymog11 I think G is sees status linked to class/the educated etc & is smart enough to be able to fit into this world as desired.

@Alcyoneus how is Geri H a gold digger? 😂 She’s as rich as him (if not richer)

I don't think she's currently pulling in 8 mill a year like he is. She's wealthy, for sure, but royalties from a short pip career and some books aren't in the same league as European F1 super wealth and private jets. She will have seen the lifestyle when invited to events as a celeb so I think it's perfectly feasible that next tier of wealth attracted her.

Alondra · 02/03/2024 14:10

Why would anyone want to discuss the wife of a controlling bastard trying to have a sexual relationship with his PA?

It's a bigger fun to slag women?

NoraBattysCurlers · 02/03/2024 14:13

I wonder what first attracted Geri to the multi-millionaire Christian Horner?

Whatever Geri decides to do in the future, it is certainly in both their interests that he keeps his £8 million-a-year job.

JJathome · 02/03/2024 14:13

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.

its one thing to stay after infidelity, not something most folks advocate. But if that’s you’re decision after taking time to understand and decide, talk, is one thing,,,

but this is public humiliation, she looks like she’s been crying and very tense. Which you would.

she’s not poor, she doesn’t need him for money, she should have taken some time to talk, agree how to move forward. But appearing holding his hand knowing the world knows he was over the side with his Pa and seeing a lot of the grubby details is just awful.

he should never have let her appear today, and shame on his mother and him demanding it

User14March · 02/03/2024 14:14

We don’t know he’s cheated.

She was worth 40 mill when she left spice girls. She is not with him for money,

@JJathome poss not but it’s all relative & that money, whilst vast, isn’t super league.
