Conor McGregor has the full backing of his longtime partner, Dee Devlin, following the ruling in his civil sexual assault case involving accuser Nikita Ni Lamhain. The concerned partner recently went on a rant, slamming the alleged victim and insinuating she was the one who assaulted the former UFC champion.
Devlin, in an Instagram Story post, alleged that Lamhain lied about her encounter with her husband. She claimed that in 2018, the accuser kept texting “provocative pictures” of herself “over and over” to McGregor despite knowing Devlin was expecting their second child. “What sort of WOMAN are you!!!!” she lamented. “My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world.” In a subsequent post, the mother-of-two bragged about surveillance footage evidence backing her husband’s claim.
“CCTV DOES NOT LIE. I look forward the day the world will see the footage of you on that night and the carry on of you. Not a bother on you. Having the time of your life.”
She added, “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.”
Finally, Devlin addressed the fact that McGregor’s encounter with Nikita Ni Lamhain was infidelity. “Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago…we have come out stronger than ever,” she wrote. She noted that life is great with their four kids and urged fans, “They without sin cast the first stone.”
Conor McGregor Maintains Innocence Despite Admitting Infidelity
Dee Devlin’s harsh statement comes just a day after her husband, for the first time, addressed the ruling. Last week, a civil court in Ireland found the Mixed Martial Artist liable for sexually assaulting Nikita during a 2018 encounter in a hotel. The former world champion was ordered to pay his accuser nearly .€250,000 (($257,000) in damages.
In a lengthy statement on X, the athlete broke his silence on the ruling. “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,” he wrote. “I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world.”
However, despite taking responsibility for cheating, the 36-year-old insisted that his acknowledgment doesn’t mean admittance of guilt. “As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual, and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath,” he declared. McGregor vowed to fight the ruling with an appeal. He promised to keep busy in the gym while his legal team wages war. Although Conor McGregor has maintained his innocence, he has already lost his first brand deal just days after the ruling.
