‘My sons will be warned women like you exist’ – Conor McGregor’s fiancée, Dee Devlin slams his rape accuser as she defends him
The fiancee of Conor McGregor has leaped to his defense by slamming the woman who accused the mixed martial arts superstar of rape.
McGregor lost the civil case as jurors at the High Court in Dublin found him liable of raping Nikita Hand, 35, in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018, with the judge awarding Hand €250,000 in damages.
On Tuesday evening, four days after the court case concluded, McGregor’s partner Dee Devlin took to Instagram to deliver a blistering attack on Ms. Hand, telling her ‘My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world’.
In the messages, Ms Devlin described Ms Hand as a party girl who had sent ‘provocative pictures of herself’ to McGregor.
Writing on Instagram, she said: ‘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.
‘This woman claims to know me, yet still went ahead and sent messages and pictures of herself over and over to my man? Really?
‘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!!!
‘My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world.’
Ms. Devlin, McGregor’s partner of 15 years, arrived hand-in-hand with McGregor at the hearings and comforted him when the verdict was delivered, also claimed that CCTV existed that would cast doubt on Ms Hand’s version of events.
She wrote: ‘CCTV DOES NOT LIE. 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 on 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?
‘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.
‘Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever. We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!
‘They without sin cast the first stone.’
McGregor last week vowed to appeal the High Court’s decision but expressed his ‘regret’ over ‘mistakes’ made.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he said: ‘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 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.’
He added: ‘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!’
