The fashion stylist Victoria, who faced her own difficulties in her marriage, especially allegations of infidelity against her husband David in 2003, is supporting Geri during this tumultuous period.
After it was revealed that Geri’s husband, Christian Horner, head of Red Bull Formula One, is facing allegations of “inappropriate and controlling behavior” towards an employee, Geri is reportedly seeking support from her Spice Girls colleague, Victoria Beckham.
The fashion stylist Victoria, who faced her own challenges in her marriage, especially allegations of infidelity against her husband David in 2003, is reported to be standing by Geri during this difficult time.
However, amidst Geri’s marital problems, sources suggest that Victoria is somewhat annoyed because their friendship has not always been mutual over the years.
A source reveals: “Naturally, Vic was concerned… Although they haven’t been the best of friends, they’ve been through a lot together… Victoria started to feel that Geri wouldn’t have done the same for her and, in fact, didn’t in the past.”
Victoria, 49, and Geri, 51, rose to fame together as members of the Spice Girls in the 90s.
The group, which also included Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton, went through ups and downs, especially Geri’s sudden departure from the band in 1998, which Victoria described as a betrayal in her autobiography.
Reports that Victoria quickly reached out to Geri amidst the pressure on her husband’s behavior have brought past tensions to the surface.
An insider notes: “It’s no secret that in the past, they weren’t the best of friends… Geri couldn’t understand why Victoria could never reunite with the Spice Girls when she had the opportunity.”
Speculation about Geri’s unwavering support for Christian amidst the allegations is putting strain on their friendship.
The investigation into Christian’s behavior is still ongoing, with a spokesperson for Red Bull stating: “It would not be appropriate to comment before the investigation is concluded.”
Concerns about Geri attending Victoria’s upcoming 50th birthday celebrations have also arisen.
An insider comments: “Vic also has the dilemma of her birthday coming up… It might be uncomfortable to have her at her 50th birthday, especially if she’s still with Christian, as she doesn’t want anything to spoil or overshadow her celebrations.”
