Geri Horner has unfollowed her Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham and David and Brooklyn Beckham as the fallout from the scandal involving her husband Christian turns toxic.
Geri, 51, unfollowed all of the Beckhams over the weekend on Instagram. She still follows Emma Bunton and Mel C, and was in no way following Mel B previously.
A source explained: “There have been hundreds of fights between Geri and Mel B over the years, most notably when Mel let it slip that she and Geri had slept together a few years ago.
But Geri has never had any problems with the Beckhams until now.
“There are different accounts of what’s going on from different people, but the bottom line is that she seems to take Christian’s problems very seriously.

Geri, 51, unfollowed all the Beckhams over the weekend on Instagram
‘All the girls have approached her, but she doesn’t feel able to interact with them. She is devastated and may feel that the Beckhams could have given her (and Christian) more public support.’
Geri, who has son Monty with Christian Horner, has also unfollowed Red Bull star Max Verstappen.
This indicates some extraordinary infighting, with F1 insiders saying the current allegations, relating to alleged harassment and “inappropriate behaviour” carried out by a female colleague, appear to be part of a “power struggle” within the team.
Red Bull boss Horner denies all allegations and says he is “confident” about clearing his name. He gave evidence at an inquest last week, but it is unclear when he will conclude.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today program yesterday, he said: “Firstly, I obviously deny the allegations that have been made, but I am going through a process and I fully respect that process.” So for me everything remains the same, focused on the next season.
And of course, it’s a distraction for the team. But the team is very united, very focused on next season and has given me great support. “So we’re looking forward to the season ahead.”
When asked if he should resign during the investigation, Horner replied: “Well, no, because I deny anything, any of the allegations that have been made, so for me it is absolutely normal, focusing on next season.”
Geri no longer follows her former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria
However, Geri still follows Mel C and Emma Bunton, while she never followed Mel B.
Geri has also unfollowed Victoria and David’s eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham.
He was also asked if he maintained his leadership at Red Bull Racing and said: “Yes, absolutely.”
F1 has issued a statement saying: “We hope that the matter will be clarified as soon as possible after a fair and thorough process.”
“We have noted that Red Bull has launched an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing.”
Christian Horner was seen at a racing event in Dorset yesterday, Geri appeared to be absent.
