See what I did there 😉

So, Geri's in Bahrain holding hands with him. And all we can think is "WE KNOW WHAT'S BEEN ON THAT FINGER!!!"

I always thought she'd do the "Fighting bravely through the tears" schtick.

He's got brass balls Horner

Looks like nothing has happened at all!

ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger · 02/03/2024 17:06

It’s interesting. She can’t have been blind to the potential for him to be a sleaze, she’d seen it all before with VB and DB and has been in these sorts of circles for long enough to know that this sort of man absolutely can’t keep it in his pants.

I think that she is probably quite humiliated by the banality of the chat and the pathetic clichéd fetishisation of stuff like Spanx and 50 Shades because it actually shows him up for being a boring, dim twat and therefore takes the shine off what seemed to the outside world to be quite a cool bloke to be married to. He will forever be laughing stock pinkie v winkie Glistening Finger now…(but, incredibly, people seemed to be able to get past the fact that the King once said he wanted to be a tampon, so maybe I am underestimating how short memories really are 😂)

I don’t think it’s necessarily a terrible decision for her to say to him that she will stay with him IF they actually do have an otherwise affectionate relationship, but I hope he is having his arse handed to him on a plate behind closed doors.

However I can’t really see the purpose served by the public show of support. If it’s to help him keep his job, why does it matter to Red Bull that his wife is forgiving him for what is a professional abuse of power? The impact on his job should be entirely unrelated to his marriage. And she would gain much more respect if she decided to forgive him but stepped back and let him face the music alone. It seems like maybe it is less about her being in the position of power and more him being ready to walk away and so she is clinging on? I hope not.

Separately, I think she looks lovely in the pictures from today. Say what you like about her, but she’s never succumbed to those God awful fillers and lip enhancements like Nicole Kidman or Posh. The dress is classy too.

I’ve seen her in real life, dressed down (but still in white/beige). It’s interesting that to look a normal weight in photos like today’s, you have to be extremely thin in real life, bordering on scrawny. She is noticeably tiny and fragile in the flesh, but this was over a year ago so not a recent thing. It must be really hard to have to keep up that level of appearances.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 02/03/2024 17:07

Plenty has happened. I dunno who the pair of them think they are to be honest. She’s some washed up ex girl band member and unless you love off F1 you wouldn’t know who he was.

LadyBird1973 · 02/03/2024 17:14

That walk looked so humiliating, I get even CH's ex felt a pang of pity for her!
I honestly don't see why she would shame hers self like that - she ought to have got on the first plane back home and let the slimy cheat face the music on his own!
Theres nothing classy about public humiliation!

BudsBeginingSpringinSight · 02/03/2024 17:15

@ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger article today sald she has a temper and "doesn't he know it".

BudsBeginingSpringinSight · 02/03/2024 17:18

@ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger re banality of the chat maybe this is how he wooed her with the most tedious talk of spanx and "it's what's underneath that matters" etc.

Merrilydancing · 02/03/2024 17:25

I wonder who actually has the money in this relationship as she is certainly not short of cash so she maybe playing the dutiful wife whilst getting the lawyers to start checking behind the scenes.

I really don't think it's about the money at this point, for Geri. She's built this edifice of their perfect life, their lovely country home, the glamorous F1 appearances, her wearing white for spiritual strength bollox, etc etc. And she really, really wanted everyone to forget how they got together.

It's all come crashing down.

As embarrassing as this is for ALL involved. I think it's also ok to stand by your partner at least publicly. I don't like CH, and I'm glad these past weeks have caused him to sweat. But at the same time, I don't understand why women who are not Geri are so invested in Geri leaving her husband. Seems like jealousy to me.

Life is messy, and I've read a lot more messier things on MN than those WhatsApp messages. From horrible parents to terrible spouses of both sexes.

Raspberrymoon49 · 02/03/2024 17:29

Many forgive, Colleen Rooney comes to mind, depressing that women cling onto disgusting men

Savagecabbage101 · 02/03/2024 17:30

I thought Geri looked lovely, the smiles were a bit Meghan Markle ish. So humiliating for her and so public. Later on, behind closed doors, she’ll be dug out of him.

Because she chased and shagged him when he was with another (pregnant) woman. We women don't like that, you know.

How many wives have been unexpectedly humiliated by their husbands, and had to go on 'auto-pilot' at a public event ?

Meanwhile they are buying time until they can get home with their nearest and dearest (and lawyer) to talk through their options going forward.

She may stay with him. She may not. She may be a fool and a girl-power hypocrite. She's obviously not morally strong enough to resist taking another woman's man.

But she's a human being who knows that the world is judging every move she makes. Right now, I feel sympathy towards her.

usernother · 02/03/2024 17:41

That smile was fixed on her face. That performance must have been very difficult for her. He looked very smug, the creep.

Geebray · 02/03/2024 17:42

Geri didn't "have" to go on auto pilot with him at the Bahrain F1. She has chosen to. And I doubt she has to "buy time". I am sure they are both lawyered up already.

I'm SO disappointed in Geri. She's a fucking icon!!!

It was nice growing up with girl power - well, the reality is so depressing - Mel B got beaten, VB cheated on, and now the best of the bunch, Geri, standing by this smarmy coño...

Geri if you are reading this, LTB!!!

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 02/03/2024 17:44

I’m afraid when a woman says of her dh ‘he’s a knight in shining armour’, ‘he’s the Prince of my heart’ and other rose-tinted drivel I immediately think ‘oh, so he’s a wrongun and you’re wearing blinkers’.

Wtf. Mel B's "girl power" was in LTB and being free. DV can affect anyone

I think in a way we sort of expect rich/famous/beautiful women to have higher standards than that. It's not jealousy, trust me - who the fuck would want to be stuck with boring FingerDick, gross!

Rightly or wrongly, we hope that these women are strong enough not to have to put up with a cheating sleazebag (especially someone who sang about Girl Power bollox).

And there is a sense that women tolerating this shit means that men know they can get away with it.

Oh thank you, THANK YOU!!! I have now seen the light! I need to "get over her wearing white"!!! My life can now recommence.

Or, you can take my point that wearing white is part of the self-image she has built up and constantly pushes into the public eye via Instagram and personal appearances, attributing it with her spiritual growth. Which is all tied in with her larger identity of love and purity. Whilst being married to this man....

I don't think Geri gave a sh*t about CH's partner and 6 month old daughter at the time.
Hence not getting a whole lot of sympathy on Mumnet now

Gummybear23 · 02/03/2024 17:57

Once a cheat...
Geri has 💰 sometimes women are trapped. Move as this dude or creep always going make u insecure.

Plus he is experienced in cheating.

Gummybear23 · 02/03/2024 17:58

I guess she knows how his ex felt now.
Not nice is it.
