Christian Horner reportedly paid €700K settlement fee to female employee

Since early February, Christian Horner has repeatedly been entangled in controversies sparked by unauthorized complaints by a female colleague. These incidents have dragged him into undesirable situations and stirred up unsettling rumors.

However, the narrative took a surprising twist when the team was swiftly cleared of any wrongdoing. It came to light that a handsome sum of severance had been quietly paid to the female individual in question in an attempt to save the team’s reputation by silencing her.

Christian Horner’s hush money amount comes to light

According to the latest reports, Christian Horner’s case has finally been dismissed with the assistance of a hired barrister by the team’s parenting company. The barrister had created a report, which was assumed to be over 100 pages. However, the details of it were never disclosed to the media.

After the decision was made, in an interesting turn of events, it was reported that Christian Horner and Red Bull GmbH had paid about $1.1 million to the female colleague. As a result, her existing complaints were completely turned down, securing the future of the team principal. Some have also claimed that this substantial sum of money was paid solely to hush her temporarily until the situation settled down.

The most recent reports from RTL stated, “Horner would have paid the employee a severance payment of 700 thousand euros, increased to 1 million by Red Bull. The dismissal and the mega severance pay haven’t been officially confirmed, but it’s said that the matter is definitively closed.”

Red Bull suspends Christian Horner accuser

Right after Christian Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing, Red Bull decided to make serious allegations against his female colleague, as her accusations of “inappropriate behaviour” had turned out to be completely false.

Even though the confidential information regarding the case was not entirely revealed by the company, it was suggested that the organization had provided the reason for her sacking as “dishonesty.” Due to the lack of accurate information, the spectators have been actively engaging in heated debates to predict the team’s next move.
