Geri Horner FIRES 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 fallout from her husband Christian's scandal turns toxic.
Geri, 51, unfollowed all the Beckhams on Instagram this weekend. She still follows Emma Bunton and Mel C, and didn't follow Mel B before anyway.
A source explained: 'There have been hundreds of arguments between Geri and Mel B over the years, not least when Mel mentioned that she and Geri had slept together a few years ago.
'But Geri has never had any problems with the Beckhams until now.
'You get different stories from different people about what's going on, but the bottom line is that she seems to be taking Christian's problems very seriously.

“All the girls have contacted her, but she doesn't feel like she can connect with them. She is devastated and it is possible she feels the Beckhams could have given her – and Christian – more public support.”
Geri also unfollowed Red Bull star Max Verstappen, but later seemed to change her mind when she re-followed David, Victoria and Max some time later.
This signals an extraordinary infighting, with F1 insiders saying the current allegations, involving alleged bullying and 'inappropriate behaviour' by a female colleague, appear to be part of a 'power struggle' within the team.
Red Bull director Horner denies all allegations and says he has 'confidence' in clearing his name. He provided evidence for an investigation last week, but it is not clear when that will be completed.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today program yesterday, he said: 'Firstly, I obviously deny the allegations that have been made, but I am going through a process and I fully respect that process. So for me it is 'business as normal', focused on the coming season.
'And of course it's a distraction for the team. But the team is very cohesive, they are very focused on the coming season and have supported us enormously. So I'm looking forward to the season ahead.”
Asked whether he should resign amid the investigation, Horner replied: “Well no, because I deny everything, all the allegations that have been made, so for me it's absolutely business as normal and I'm concentrating on the coming season.”

He was also asked if he stood behind his leadership at Red Bull Racing and said: 'Yes, absolutely.'
F1 released a statement saying: 'We hope the matter will be resolved as soon as possible following a fair and thorough process.
“We have noted that Red Bull has launched an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing.”
