A quarter of a century ago, Geri Halliwell, the Spice Girl formerly known as Ginger Spice, released her first solo single. Entitled “Look at Me,” the song described Halliwell’s compulsive desire for attention, citing her tendency for being something of a drama queen. But hindsight is a terrible thing. Halliwell currently has all the attention in the world, but only because her husband has been accused of sexting an employee (who for legal reasons cannot be identified).
For weeks now, the British press has been giddily splashing around in one of the most perfect stories it could ever imagine. The career of Formula One boss Christian Horner has been left teetering on the brink after he was accused of controlling behavior by an unnamed underling. (He denied the allegations of inappropriate conduct.) The story has unfolded with more twists and turns than the Circuit Zandvoort, but central to the whole tawdry narrative has been the fact that Horner happens to be married to one of the Spice Girls.
