Reports claim Red Bull boss Christian Horner's wife Geri Halliwell is 'in floods of tears' amid ongoing internal investigation against her husband

Red Bull chief Christian Horner’s wife Geri Halliwell is reportedly devastated by the allegations against her husband, who is being internally investigated for alleged ‘inappropriate behaviour’. While there have been no concrete details of the allegations against him, Horner's hearing at the Red Bull headquarters in Austria has been scheduled for February 9, 2023.

After the news broke in the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf, the Horner story has taken a life of its own in the media and public domain. Red Bull’s global headquarters in Austria have summoned the Brit to a hearing the day following the launch of their junior team’s car.

As reported by ‘The Sun’ in the UK, Horner’s wife Geri Halliwell is standing by her husband and insists he is innocent. According to The Sun, a source close to the former Spice Girl said:

“Geri has been in floods of tears all weekend while looking after her kids. She is insisting Christian has done nothing wrong.”

As reported by the Daily Mail, a friend of the team principal’s wife said:

“She has told Christian to make it all go away. She will be sticking to him like glue, smiling and putting on a brave face in public.”

According to The Sun, its sources at Red Bull F1 said:

“Nothing further is being added to ensure the integrity of the investigation is respected. Christian has issued a denial and we’re hoping for a swift and speedy resolution.”

While conflicting reports continue to make the rounds, Red Bull Gmbh is all set to conduct an investigation internally. Horner’s defenders suggest that the allegations might be a campaign to smear his name amid a power struggle within the team.

The allegations against the 50-year-old are undefined at the moment, but his family seems to have been affected by the allegations. Horner was reportedly at the FIA F1 commission meeting when the story broke in the Dutch media.

Red Bull F1 team boss reportedly being investigated over claims of controlling behavior by a female colleague

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is reportedly being investigated for ‘incredibly controlling behaviour’ after a complaint by a female colleague within the team. The British newspaper Daily Mail has reported that the female colleague worked closely with the 50-year-old.

When asked by the Daily Mail, the Brit refuted the claims to Jonathan McEvoy, who shares a close camaraderie with the Milton Keynes team chief.

Explaining the scenario with the team's CEO, McEvoy wrote in his column:

“The claims come entirely or mostly from a close colleague of Horner. I was told she was in the factory on Monday working through the day. Mail Sport knows the individual’s name but will not reveal it for legal reasons.”

McEvoy added:

“Horner, who lives in north London, with an estate in Oxfordshire where he and Geri have a stable of race horses, told me on Saturday the allegations are ‘nuts’. He has employed expensive lawyers to protect him from the nature of the allegations being exposed.”

Another Daily Mail report where McEvoy wrote, explained the allegations as follows:

“A source within the Red Bull team said the claims related to 'incredibly controlling behaviour'. It is alleged that the behaviour was towards a female colleague. Horner, 50, is expected to remain in the job he has held since 2005 while the internal investigation is carried out.”
