Geri Horner UNFOLLOWS Victoria and David Beckham after her husband Christian Horner denied allegations of 'inappropriate behaviour' towards female colleague
Geri Horner has unfollowed her Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham – and David and Brooklyn Beckham – as the fall-out from the scandal enveloping her husband Christian turns toxic.
Geri, 51, unfollowed all the Beckhams over the weekend on Instagram. She still follows Emma Bunton and Mel C, and was not following Mel B previously in any case.
A source explained: 'There have been hundreds of fall outs between Geri and Mel B over the years, not least when Mel let slip that she and Geri had slept together a few years ago.
'But Geri has never had a problem with the Beckhams until now.
'You get different accounts of what is going on from different people but the bottom line is that she seems to be taking Christian's problems very hard.

'All of the girls have reached out to her but she's not felt able to engage with them. She is devastated and it's possible that she feels that the Beckhams could have given her – and Christian – more public support.'
Geri also unfollowed Red Bull star Max Verstappen, however later appeared to have a change of heart when she re-followed David, Victoria and Max sometime later.
This indicates some extraordinary infighting, with F1 insiders saying that the current allegations, relating to alleged bullying and 'inappropriate behaviour' made by a female colleague appear to be part of a 'power struggle' within the team.
Red Bull principal Horner denies all allegations and says that he is 'confident' of clearing his name. He gave evidence to an investigation last week but it is not clear when that will be concluded.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme yesterday he said: 'Firstly I obviously deny the allegations that have been made but I'm going through a process and fully respect that process. So for me it's business as normal, focused on the season ahead.
'And of course it is a distraction for the team. But the team are very together, they're very focused on the season ahead and have been tremendously supportive. So looking forward to the season ahead of us.'
Asked whether he should you step down during the investigation, Horner replied: 'Well no, because I deny anything, any of the allegations that have been made, so for me it's absolutely business as normal, focusing on the season ahead.'

He was also asked whether he stood by his leadership at Red Bull Racing, and said: 'Yes, absolutely.'
F1 has released a statement which reads: 'We hope that the matter will be clarified at the earliest opportunity after a fair and thorough process.
'We have noted Red Bull has instigated an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing.'
