A steamy exchange where Horner, 50, dives into dangerous territory, asking for selfies and quizzing the lady about her ‘outfit of choice.’
‘Skirt,’ she replies, sparking Horner’s curiosity further, ‘Which one? Have I seen?’ he probes, eager for a pic to ‘remind me.’
Horney Horner’s texts take a turn into flexibility, asking for a selfie after the woman boasts about her acrobatic abilities.
‘Still in the spanx?’ he teases, praising how attractive she looks, only to be corrected that they’re ‘just leggings.’
Horner’s cheeky comeback? ‘But it’s what’s in them that counts!’
Despite the flirty banter, Horner seems to hit a moment of clarity, allegedly pressing the delete button on their chat, ‘delete this chat please.’
This text tempest comes hot on the heels of accusations flying Horner’s way last month, charging him with ‘coercive behaviour’ towards a female subordinate. Though Red Bull’s bigwigs have cleared him of any misdeeds, these messages have certainly put Horner in the hot seat.
Horner’s camp is sticking to a firm denial of all allegations. But with these texts now racing through the headlines, it’s clear this scandal is far from the finish line.
