CHRISITAN Horner’s accuser has been left “upset, scared and intimidated” over the sexting scandal, according to a family friend.

The unnamed woman, who accused the Red Bull Racing chief of abusive behaviour and sexual harassment, is said to be “determined for the truth to come out”.

Horner, 50, was cleared of misconduct by a Red Bull investigation back in February.

But the scandal was taken to a new level when sexually suggestive texts appearing to be sent by the F1 boss were leaked.

Horner’s accuser – a female colleague – has since been suspended by Red Bull and has appealed the decision.

She has been left feeling “very upset, angry, scared, intimidated and lonely” following the saga, a family friend told BBC Sport.
