Just days ago, a jury in Ireland ruled that Conor McGregor is liable for sexual assault, following a case brought forward by Nikita Ni Lamhain, who accused him of “brutally raping and battering” her in a hotel in 2018. In the aftermath of this life-altering ruling, McGregor issued a public apology, expressing remorse while maintaining his innocence. Recently, his fiancée, Dee Devlin, publicly criticized Nikita, suggesting that she has only revealed part of the story and failed to convey the full context of the events.

Conor McGregor Addresses the Jury’s Decision Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Along with the jury’s verdict, Conor McGregor is required to pay over $260,000 (or 250,000 euros) in damages, as reported by TMZ. On November 25, Conor took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his feelings about the situation. He admitted to being unfaithful to Dee Devlin six years ago, but he firmly rejected the allegations of sexual assault, asserting that everything that transpired was consensual. He indicated that he plans to appeal the ruling, expressing gratitude to his supporters and stating his intention to return to training as he prepares for future fights.

“I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me. As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual, and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath.”

Conor emphasized that, despite the ruling, he is focused on moving forward with his life. He expressed his profound appreciation for the unwavering support he has received from family, friends, and fans around the globe. His statement concluded with a determination to return to the gym and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in his career. “I am beyond grateful to my family, friends, and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits,” he stated in his post.

People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.

As much as I…

The financial implications of the liable ruling are already evident, as several companies, including Proper No Twelve, have severed their partnerships with Conor McGregor, signaling the potential long-term impact on his brand and business ventures.

Dee Devlin Critiques Nikita Ni Lamhain in Fiery Instagram Posts

Mirroring Conor McGregor’s response, Dee Devlin also utilized social media to express her views regarding the outcome of the case. However, her tone was notably more confrontational. In a series of posts on Instagram Stories, Dee accused Nikita Ni Lamhain of sending Conor persistent and suggestive messages leading up to the incident in 2018, arguing that her actions displayed a clear intent to provoke. Dee’s assertions painted Nikita as someone who was knowingly crossing boundaries.

“Imagine a WOMAN with her own boyfriend and child, testing provocative pictures of herself to another woman’s man with a family and child on the way. This woman claims to know me, yet still went ahead and sent messages and pictures of herself over and over to my man? Really?”

Furthermore, Dee raised concerns about Nikita’s behavior, accusing her of engaging in a “three-day bender” while neglecting her responsibilities as a mother, leaving her child with a sitter during that period. In another post, she referenced hotel surveillance footage from the location where the alleged assault occurred, asserting that the video contradicted Nikita’s claims and depicted her as someone who appeared to be enjoying herself, thereby casting doubt on her allegations.

“This is the real evidence, video footage no one knew was being taken in the moment which you miraculously don’t remember? To me it looks like you’re the one sexually assaulting in the lift. To me it looks like everyone is trying to get away from you,” Dee passionately remarked, further asserting that her children would be educated about the existence of individuals like Nikita in the world.

In addition to addressing the allegations, Dee highlighted that she and Conor had faced their challenges privately in the past and emerged stronger than ever, now raising their four children together, who represent their enduring bond.

In another heartfelt post on her Instagram feed, Dee shared a cherished family photo featuring herself, Conor, and their children. She took the opportunity to reaffirm her unwavering support for Conor, despite the controversies surrounding them. Her message underscored the strength of their relationship and the love they share as a family.

“My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him, I trust him, and I BELIEVE HIM! Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are! No one is entitled to comment on our relationship- we trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!”
