Geri Halliwell’s husband Christian Horner was recently investigated after he was accused of behaving inappropriately towards a female colleague. Now the Formula 1 team boss has been cleared of the allegations.
Geri Halliwell’s, 51, husband Christian Horner, 50, who has been team boss of Red Bull Racing since 2005, was recently confronted with serious allegations. The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that he encountered an employee with “cross-border behavior.” An investigation was then launched. “The company takes this matter very seriously,” the Formula 1 racing team made clear in an official statement. Red Bull Racing has now announced that the investigation has ended and Horner has been cleared of the allegations.
The investigation against Christian Horner has been completed
“The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr. Horner has been completed and Red Bull can confirm that the allegation has been rejected,” said a spokesman for the company in the statement, which is available to “ESPN,” among others.
And further: “Red Bull is confident that the investigation was fair, rigorous and impartial. The investigation report is confidential and contains private information from the parties and third parties who participated in the investigation. Therefore, out of respect for everyone involved, we will not be doing any more Make comments.” The statement also states that the complainant has the right to appeal the decision. “Red Bull will continue to strive to meet the highest workplace standards,” it says finally.
Geri Halliwell was going through a “hellish time.”
Is Geri Halliwell, who has son Montague, 7, with Horner, relieved after this result? Quite possible, after all, sources had previously claimed that the former “Spice Girl” suffered greatly from the allegations against her husband. “Obviously this was a hellish time for Geri and she was in a state of absolute turmoil – trying to pull herself together for the kids while she was breaking down inside,” an insider recently told Closer magazine. She also feared that the “legal drama” could drag on for months or even years. “She says she feels like she’s in a living nightmare and is terrified of how things might turn out.” Now the matter appears to be settled for now if no objection is lodged.
