A female employee at Red Bull Racing, who had accused Christian Horner of inappropriate behavior through alleged messages, has now spoken out through a close source, as reported by the Daily Mail on Friday.
Expressing deep dissatisfaction, the woman reportedly feels unhappy about Red Bull’s decision on Wednesday to clear Horner, the team principal of the Red Bull F1 team, in its investigation into the alleged claims of “coercive behavior.” The woman had previously worked with Horner at Red Bull Racing’s headquarters in Milton Keynes.
Despite the clearance in the Red Bull investigation, leaked alleged texts between Horner and the female employee surfaced this week, including purported comments about stretching her legs open and Spanx. Notably, there were no reported sexual images in the WhatsApp leak.
Horner, 50, has vehemently denied the allegations. In a statement on Thursday, he said, “I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, but to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations. I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully cooperated with it every step of the way.”
Sources close to the situation affirm that there was no romantic relationship between Horner and the female employee. The leaked messages have added fuel to the controversy, with the source emphasizing that the woman is distressed and feels unfairly judged.
The employee, still believed to be employed by the organization, is said to be in the United Kingdom, not traveling with Red Bull and Horner for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Christian Horner, married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, continues his regular work schedule, but friends express concern about the potential impact on Halliwell.
As the situation unfolds, emotions run high, and the source mentioned that the recent developments have been particularly challenging for Halliwell. The fallout from the leaked exchanges may have far-reaching consequences on both personal and professional fronts.
