Amidst the ongoing turmoil surrounding the ‘sex texts’ scandal involving Red Bull principal Christian Horner, the woman at the center of the controversy is reportedly gearing up to appeal the decision that cleared Horner of any wrongdoing.
An independent internal investigation had recently absolved the 50-year-old racing figure of ‘coercive behavior’ towards a female colleague.
However, leaked screenshots of alleged text conversations between Horner and the employee emerged shortly after, prompting further scrutiny.
