Conor McGregor's Fiancée Responds Fiercely After Guilty Verdict: 'My Sons Will Be Warned'
The turbulent saga of Conor McGregor, the world-famous mixed martial artist, takes another dramatic turn—this time involving a passionate response from the mother of his children.
The Irish fighter recently suffered a significant loss, not inside the octagon, but in both the legal system and the court of public opinion. Surprisingly, the situation has little to do with his athletic career.
According to Front Office Sports, “On Friday, McGregor was found guilty of raping Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel room in 2018. He was ordered to pay about $264,000 in damages to Hand after being found guilty for assault.”
McGregor continues to deny any wrongdoing beyond admitting to infidelity, and he has announced plans to appeal the verdict.
“People want to hear from me, I needed time,” McGregor shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. “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. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.
“I can’t go back and I will move forward. 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!”
One steadfast supporter during this ordeal has been McGregor’s fiancée and the mother of his four children, Dee Devlin.
In a fiery series of Instagram Stories, which have since been deleted, Devlin expressed her unfiltered thoughts about McGregor’s accuser. As reported by the New York Post, the 37-year-old didn’t hold back.
“Imagine a woman, with her own boyfriend and child, texting provocative pictures of herself to another woman’s man with a family and child on the way,” Devlin wrote. “This woman claims to know me, yet still went ahead and sent messages and pictures of herself over and over to my man? Really?”
She went on: “Whilst out on a 3-day bender, texting excuses to her own child at home where mammy is on Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, Sunday night into Monday morning. All the while out of her face in a hotel room, dancing around a hotel carpark. What sort of WOMAN are you!!!”
Devlin made her feelings about Nikita Hand abundantly clear, calling her “vile” and “despicable.”
“My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world,” Devlin declared.
Devlin also expressed confidence in her fiancé’s eventual exoneration, citing evidence yet to come to light.
“CCTV does not lie,” she wrote. “I look forward to the day the world will see the footage of you on that night and the carry on of you. Not a bother of you having the time of your life.”
“This is the real evidence, video footage no one knew was being taken in the moment which you miraculously don’t remember?” Devlin continued. “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.”
