Mel B says Spice Girls are 'rallying behind' Geri Halliwell after husband Christian Horner 'inappropriate behaviour' claims
Mel B has said the Spice Girls are “rallying behind” bandmate Geri Halliwell after her husband Christian Horner faced allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” as a Formula One team principal.
The Red Bull F1 team boss, 50, has faced intense scrutiny in recent weeks following allegations relating to the leak of WhatsApp messages which appeared to be written by him to a female colleague – claims he has always denied. Horner was allowed to remain in his role after Red Bull Racing’s parent company, GmbH, dismissed the grievance, while the female employee was suspended on full pay as a direct result of Red Bull’s inquiry.
This singer, who shares a son with Horner as well as two daughters from their previous relationships, was previously spotted supporting her husband at the first two races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Appearing on Tuesday's Good Morning Britain, Mel B addressed the controversy, admitting how she feels “really sad” for her friend amid the media storm.
The 48-year-old said: “When you are going through something like that you do need your friends and family and we are all supporting her.
“I feel really sad for Geri.'
Later in the interview, Mel B said of a possible Spice Girls reunion, she quipped: “I'm always the one saying we are getting together and always getting told off for it.
“We are doing something I just can't say it.”
On Monday, Halliwell was spotted attending the Commonwealth Day Service in London after supporting her husband at both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian F1 races amid the controversy.
The Spice Girl, 51, donned an elegant long white coat paired with a matching pillar box hat and black handbag for the event held at Westminster Abbey. Meanwhile, Horner praised his wife in an Instagram post to mark Mother’s Day pm Sunday.
Alongside a series of images of the children’s book author with their children, he wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day – So appreciative of the mums in our family for everything they do.
“We’re always grateful, today and every day.”
