Christian Horner’s alleged texts included scandalous remarks about Spanx, legs opening
Christian Horner’s alleged scandalous texts to a female employee include comments about stretching her legs open and Spanx, according to The Sun.
Horner, the team principal of the Red Bull F1 team, is in the spotlight after the leak of alleged salacious messages between him and a team employee.
He is married to former Spice Girl Gerri Halliwell, whom friends worry will be crushed by this recent avalanche of exchanges.
Horner allegedly commented to the woman that it would be good for her to stretch her legs in response to her stating it would be good for him to do so after a long flight, per The Sun.
The Daily Mail reported the woman responded: “Wow.”
He also told her she looks “very attractive” in Spanx and when she replied they were just leggings, he said that what’s in them is what counts, according to the report.
Horner also allegedly asked the woman for selfies of her in pajamas, and one message referenced what the Daily Mail described as a “solo sex act.”
The woman in question reportedly worked with Horner at Red Bull Racing’s headquarters in Milton Keynes.
Red Bull Racing cleared Horner of any violations of misconduct Wednesday following an internal probe, and the 50-year-old has denied the allegations against him.
“I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, but to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations,” Horner said Thursday in a statement.
“I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully cooperated with it every step of the way. It was a thorough and fair investigation conducted by an independent specialist barrister and it has concluded, dismissing the complaint made. I remain fully focused on the start of the season.”

The recipient of these seedy texts reportedly asked Horner to stop and attempted to turn the tables by asking him how he would feel if his wife was doing the same thing with an employee.
The Daily Mail reported the woman is “very unhappy” that Red Bull cleared Horner.
“We speak every day and she’s very unhappy – of course,” the outlet reported. “In her way of thinking it’s all very one-sided and she’s been crucified.”
Halliwell’s friends are concerned for her following these shocking developments.
“The tears stopped when the judgment came in on Wednesday, now they absolutely will have started again,” one source told the Daily Mail.
“This will destroy her. All along Christian promised there was nothing in it.”
