F1 News: Horner cleared over sexting scandal for 2nd time

Christian Horner has been cleared for a second time over the sexting scandal which rocked his marriage.

The Red Bull Formula One boss, 50, was accused by an employee of making  suggestive remarks, while texts were also leaked.

She launched an appeal after a judge cleared Horner of wrongdoing in March — and that has also been thrown out.

The F1 team said in a statement:

“Earlier this year a complaint raised against Christian Horner was investigated,” a statement from Red Bull GmbH, issued on August 8, read.

“That complaint was dealt with through the company’s grievance procedure by the appointment of an independent KC who dismissed the grievance.

“The complainant exercised the right to appeal, and the appeal was carried out by another independent KC.

“All stages of the appeal process have now been concluded, with the final outcome that the appeal is not upheld. The KC’s conclusions have been accepted and adopted by Red Bull.

“The internal process has concluded.

“The company respects the privacy of all its employees and will not be making further public comment on this matter at the time.

“Red Bull is committed to continuing to meet the highest workplace standards.”

Horner and his wife Geri Halliwell are on summer break at the moment, so we’re sure this will be happy news for them. This is vindication for them.

The couple’s marriage had been put under pressure by the accusations of “inappropriate behavior”.
