Red Bull Employee Feels Betrayed After Harassment Allegations
Just when things seemed to be settling down at Red Bull after the double 1-2 victories by Max Verstappen and Checo Perez, the ‘Horner Case’ is back in the spotlight following a leak to the ‘Daily Mail’ revealing the discontent of the woman who accused him of workplace harassment at the Austrian team.
The Red Bull employee, who had filed a complaint against the team principal for “inappropriate behavior,” feels betrayed by her employers after they leaked more details about the case than she would have liked.
After Red Bull dismissed the complaint internally, texts with sexual content allegedly exchanged between the woman and Horner were leaked, something she considers dishonest on the part of those who allowed those messages to reach certain individuals.
“She [the accuser] is very disappointed with how everything has unfolded, especially because she followed all the rules,” a friend of hers told the English media outlet.
The individual who leaked the woman’s current state to the ‘Daily Mail’ added: “She was suspended when she followed the case correctly and despite all that, she was suspended from a job she loves and a sport where she is highly regarded.”
Did Red Bull Leak Confidential Information?
After Christian Horner was cleared of the allegations and continued as Red Bull’s team principal, the contact of the suspended employee specified: “The lack of support she received is evident, and she is very disappointed with the way the company treated her. She complained that an allegedly transparent and independent investigation was conducted, but Horner was cleared, and she was suspended.”
This individual, whose name remains undisclosed, raised some doubts: “Who at Red Bull was tasked with leaking the messages between them?” These words come after he himself said: “Someone at Red Bull had access to all the confidential material that was used, and I wonder: Who at Red Bull is leaking this information? All she is asking for now is transparency in the process. She is very disappointed with Red Bull.”
Conclusion:
The ongoing saga at Red Bull involving the harassment allegations against Christian Horner continues to unfold, with the employee feeling betrayed and disappointed by the handling of the situation. Transparency and support are key moving forward to address the concerns raised by the accuser.
