Well, that went in an unexpected direction.

MODERATORS
Not really though. She was his PA, and that just doesn't work anymore after these kinds of allegations (and for this it doesn't matter if they are true or not)
Yeah but a company the size of RB, it would've been typical for them to move her to a different but similar role.
Suspension with pay actually makes it sound like either she's taking Horner or the company to court, or they're in the early stages of sacking her and they want to limit her access to others in the company.
Or the other way around, if they think she is the one behind the email to journalists with the whatsapp-pictures.
Reverse uno card for sure.
Retaliation for filing a claim of sexual harassment or inappropriate workplace behavior is not looked upon kindly by courts or arbitrators.
Red Bull just stepped in a pile of shit, the easier option is to just settle, cut a check, and move her to a new department. Give Horner some HR training and issue a statement saying the internal matter has been settled to all parties satisfaction, blah blah blah, and no real story in the media.
Strange decision from a PR management perspective.
Seeing as the investigation was resolved in his favour, suspension or even firing seems reasonable in that context.
However, if that leak is honest they will be in the shit. The sticking points for me are;
Was the independent investigator given this material while the investigation was underway?
Were they verified by that investigation?
I frankly don't see such a prestigious firm finding the claim as being unsubstantiated if they had access to them. It would seriously damage their reputation if they did so, which would lead to them losing much more money in the long run than they would get off Red Bull.
Wow, this is bad. Fuck red bull and Fuck horner. Those messages are certainly real and this is a disgrace to all women.
You would suspend both parties while the issue is resolved/investigated if it were handled properly without intent to punish her.
What makes them real? What are you using to determine that they're 100% real and not faked?
More like Christian Horny after reading the kind of messages he allegedly sent.
Can we get any more Streisand effect? Like every time I hear something about this I feel like I know less. They really need to get in front of this and everything they are doing is the opposite.
Is there some kind of playbook they're following?
I believe this is a power play between Horner and Verstappen family at this point. Iโm not defending anything Horner allegedly did, but it clearly isnโt just a workplace harassment caseโฆ
