Whats your opinion on the whole Christian Horner thing?

Let me preface this by saying, I have intentionally stayed away from this subject for many reasons, but given there was an outcome of the investigation today, and some of the information I’ve seen here throughout the past weeks, now is as good a time as any to respond to this ask I got weeks ago. This is not, nor will I be offering in the future, my opinion on whether Horner is guilty of the accusations or not. I just want to maybe provide context, and information from my experience and career thus far, that might help people understand, and also my opinion on the reaction from people. Caveat - I am not a lawyer, nor will I go into specifics of my current or previous job, however I worked in the legal profession where I worked on legal cases, reviewed evidence, and made submissions and recommendations that went in front of Judges.

Okay my thoughts. My thoughts are that an internal investigation that should have remained private for all parties involved, especially the alleged victim(s), was leaked and used as clickbait and gossip by the media and people on here and other social media sites. I think people decided guilt without having any genuine information, without seeing the evidence and without any credible sources. I think were the person being accused a different member of the paddock that the reaction would have been different. I think people used this to virtue signal and cry out about what good people they are. I think people that constantly say that the media and journalists shouldn’t be trusted, fed into a feeding frenzy that led to the name of the alleged victim(s) being published, which will undoubtedly impact them for the rest of their lives.

Onto specific things I have seen that I’d like to offer my take on:

Christian allegedly offering the victim a sum of money - First of all, for anyone who has a certain amount of wealth, especially those in the public eye, this is a usual occurrence. You try to avoid an investigation by any means possible, whether you’re innocent or guilty, because a) it’s easier and usually cheaper in the long run, b) pr and public image are damaged by even unfounded accusations and these things can run on for an extremely long time, and c) trial by media is a thing, and innocent people get tarnished for the rest of their lives because of something they were accused of. Now, I’m not saying any of those are why the offer was allegedly made, but those are some of the reasons. Companies do the same thing, when someone has an accident at work and hurts themselves, even if the company do not believe themselves to be at fault they will make a settlement offer, to avoid any legal back and forth. Settlements are not an admission of guilt, but a way to make something go away quickly.

Said money being why the investigation “went away” - I saw a quote that said “the grievance has been dismissed”, that means there was a finding, not that it was withdrawn. even so, this was a red bull investigation carried out by an external barrister. Once the company were made aware of the allegations, their investigation is independent of either party involved, so even if the alleged victim(s) withdrew their grievance, the company would still have a duty of care to ensure that any inappropriate behaviour or actions were identified, investigated and addressed. Most importantly, red bull want to protect themselves legally, and following the procedures and carrying out a thorough investigation, which would identify if they were potentially exposed to risk, is how they do that.

How can they ignore 100’s of pieces of evidence - We don’t know that they did. It was reported, but never confirmed that there was over 100 pieces of evidence submitted, so this is absolute hearsay. Further, I would be extremely surprised if the investigation ignored any piece of evidence, given the ramifications of an incorrect or improper investigation. Also I think it’s really important to say that evidence does not equal guilt or that one party to the proceedings is correct. Allow me to provide you with a personal example. I worked on a case where there was over 5000 pages of evidence submitted into a legal bundle. Approximately 4000 of those were from the appellant who argued that the other party had acted incorrectly. (forgive my vagueness here I’m not about to doxx myself). 4000 pages of evidence, which I reviewed and made a decision that I did not support their argument. The judge agreed with me also. Evidence can be subjective, and sometimes it can be completely irrelevant. The presence, and submission of evidence is to support one sides view of things, the other side will have their own, and both are examined and balanced and decisions made on that and sometimes also on other independent investigation.

The investigation is private and cannot be shared - This is law. GDPR in fact because this is occurring within Europe. I’m literally spending this entire week on a GDPR course, and have an exam on Friday, so I really don’t want to go on about legal basis and restrictions for sharing personal data, but let me tell you it’s for good reason, especially with investigations like this. All parties involved in this have a legal right to privacy, covered by the human rights act, and unless there is a compelling legal reason why their data should be shared, then it can’t be without their explicit consent. Simple as. And that’s disregarding that there will be confidential company information within the investigation that also cannot be shared.

Horner committed a crime - given that we do not know the specifics of what occurred we simply don’t have enough information to know this, HOWEVER, from the information I have read, and by the fact that I have not seen an indication that the police have been involved with this, nor are they carrying out their own investigation, I am working under the assumption that no law has been broken.

tl;dr - These are real people’s lives, we are not involved and we have no right to know anything. This isn’t salacious gossip, and it’s not a fun thing to band around and use as a stick to beat people with to prove how good we are. Processes and investigations like this should be private, and basing things on hearsay and unscrupulous reporters does more damage to any alleged victims than good. Having seen how fans and social media have treated this investigation, do you think that makes any other alleged victims want to come forwards? I think not. But that’s just me.

Does anyone understand how important the scene between Eddie and Bobby in the season 5 finale is?

Ofc it’s a parallel to Bobby telling Eddie he isn’t ok and he needs to take care of himself. But the fact that it’s a wake up call for Bobby is so good. The fact that Bobby takes out the bottle from the grocery bag and pours it out afterwards?

No one knew. Not even us the audience knew the bottle was there. But it didn’t matter because Eddie was there for Bobby. Because he cares. And Bobby remembers that he has people he can lean on, people who love him and depend on him.

It’s about the found family. It’s about being there without being asked to. Is about knowing that your family needs you and being there for them. About understanding that taking care of yourself is taking care of the people you love and reminding them of the same. It’s about being broken together. Knowing where the jagged edges are and carefully covering them to make sure no one gets hurt by them.

Hello everyone,

As I’m sure most of you have noticed, I have yet to post anything this week, and for that I am deeply sorry. I am in the thick of it with finals and an upcoming surgery, so my posting will probably not be consistent the next couple of weeks. I am hoping to at least post 2 chapters of the Eris series, but I can’t promise anything beyond that yet.

Thank you all for your unwavering support, you all mean so much to me and I couldn’t be more grateful to have the opportunity of writing for all of you.

With love,

Dee.

For the writing ask game: 20, 22, and 33? <3

20. do you work on a single project or many at the same time? how does that work for you?

I usually have several projects ongoing at any given time, and I give focus to the ones that i'm most interested in in the moment

I have varying degrees of success 😂😂

22. what is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?

there are so many ways for them to be idiots, especially because my favorite idiots (Dick and Tim ofc) are supposed to be so smart. and then it's so satisfying when they finally figure it out

33. give your writing a compliment.

I love my own writing, i'm my number one fan 😂

but more specifically, I feel like i've gotten better at works building recently, and i'm proud of that!

thank you for the ask!!

[dee-writes-anime]

Hello everyone!

I know I’ve been kinda off grid and not posting much these last few weeks and for that I’m sorry. There’s currently a writing event I’m participating in on my main account, so all my energy has been going to keeping up with posting on that. I promise I will get to the lovely people in my ask box as soon as I can! I’m hoping I can fit some extra writing time in to finish up that BakuDeku slow burn and Megumi angst! 🩷🩷

Thank you for your patience,

Dee.

Monday Motivation! 💙

[sebsrainbowbicycle]

Taking a moment to indulge in a bit of self praise. Today marks 9 months of me being sober, the longest I have not drank since I was probably 13, and something that me a year ago never thought I would do. I remember asking my brother if he thought I would ever say I was never drinking again and he laughed so hard and said no, that would never happen.

I hope that soon I forget how long it’s been, but right now hitting these big milestones is what keeps me going on the harder days. Today is one of those harder days, but I have come so far and I am such a happier and healthier person than who I was before. I’m so thankful to my amazing friends who have been an invaluable support system, whether they know it or not.

So yeah. 9 months baby. I’m so proud of myself!
