Can we discuss Geri

[PlatinumGold]

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?

Is that white or pale yellow?

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

Oh well. She married a mega rich guy and has had a good life for a few years. Did he dump his wife for her. Not sure. But looks like Geri's been dumped. What goes around comes around.

She's obviously standing by him. In the clip I've just seen, they're walking awkwardly hand in hand.

She’s clearly not been dumped the opposite in fact.

in the words of Kanye - ‘ok I did it, alright I admit it, now make your next move you can leave or live with it’

What will she do?

1. They're equally to blame to be fair. And to pursue a man (whether it was Geri doing the chasing or the other way around) is not only morally questionable but just really, you know, shit.

Like someone said upthread, so much 'misogyny' being quoted when it's really shit behaviour by the OW. It's not like he's NOT a public figure who might lie about his wife/partner - Geri was well aware.

I always wonder whether some women who condone this sort of behaviour (which is totally unsisterly) have been part of the OW scenario themselves....

I'm sure Geri will be heartbroken your opinion of her is going to change.
This feels more like tattle content, not mumsnet...

Live with it, clearly.

She's used to cheating so maybe can handle that he had the odd hand job/shag with his PA in the toilets of private jets.

The white wardrobe is weird

Oh the 8 year old in me will always LOVE Geri and the others. I haven’t followed them much since I lost interest after Geri left (although Mel C was actually my favourite). So I totally get why the OP can feel like she has always liked her, the child in me will always love these ladies, despite the dodgy things we’ve heard about Melanie Brown and the stuff about Geri. Yeah they were a manufactured band who probably didn’t give a fuck about Girl Power (aka feminism) but still, the child in me will never quite let the love go.

Unsisterly? Sisterhood is a soppy myth used to control and subjugate women
I am no one sister,there is no sisterhood
If I like a woman it’s based in values,behaviour,outlook not simply being a woman

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

So do I. It’s my favourite

Every woman needs to realise that if he will do it with you he will do it to you. Not sure where the shock comes from. Neither of them are showered in glory but then are any of us. Luckily she has enough money and status in her own right not to become just another statistic. Lucky for her.

I hadn’t even noticed she always wears white. I’m sure she’s got her own money without needing his

Geri mentioned in interview about her only wearing neutrals, mostly cream or white.
Direct quote from Geri.
“My wardrobe is like looking at the French Alps - a vast expanse of white. I have gone through stages of wearing all black but then I just thought, well, I quite like cream and white.
Then I started buying more and more of it, and if you start buying something in any one colour, it becomes one less thing to think about. I really recommend it to anyone - it's really easy.
Everything becomes really simple. I like the colour, and it's like wearing a school uniform as an adult.
It matches with everything and I literally don’t have to think in the mornings. It's great for busy people - it kind of looks like you've made an effort when you haven't.”

Some really horrible comments on this thread.

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

Someone once pointed out to me that Christian and Geri look like brother and sister and I have never been able to unsee it.

She’s nutty and a try hard. But nice enough according to my sister. My niece used to be in the same class as her daughter.

It’s always in the “news” when someone famous is publicly cheating. However this is in the news as it is the red bull principle and an employee and he’s been accused of sexual harrassment and coercive behaviour and an investigation.

how did you miss it?

She switched to all white some time ago. It's a rebrand, to cultivate a persona different to the brightly coloured, cartoony Spice Girl one. It makes it easier to dress (she's said as much) and it's a pretty simple way to be distinctive. It probably displays her lifestyle to an extent as well, since white is difficult to wear; it shows marks and gets dirty very easily and all-white isn't flattering on everyone.

She lied that she got a scholarship...to a comprehensive school. With a catchment area 30 plus miles from her home? The school have no record of her and find it bizarre. I find it a fucking piss take. She deserves a cheating man, she lies every day for no fucking reason!
