- McGregor’s fiancée Dee Devlin was seen arriving in NYC with the couple’s son
- The reunion comes days after footage released of McGregor at the NBA finals
Conor McGregor’s fiancée Dee Devlin was seen in New York City days after a woman claimed the fighter sexually assaulted her at the NBA Finals on June 10.
Devlin, now visibly pregnant, was seen lifting the couple’s youngest son out from a black Cadillac outside the Peninsula on Fifth Avenue, where McGregor has been staying.
Seen for the first time since McGregor was accused of ‘violently’ forcing himself onto a woman during a Miami Heat game, Devlin was sporting her new wedding ring and various other jewelry, including a Cartier bracelet and a Patek Philippe watch.
Her show of unity comes just months after the couple announced their engagement, and days after saying that are expecting a fourth child.
The pair, who met in Dublin in 2008 when McGregor was just 19, live together with their children in Las Vegas. McGregor was spotted in the Big Apple last night signing autographs for fans lined up outside his hotel on Fifth Avenue.
McGregor has denied the recent allegations and police in Miami, where the alleged incident took place, have said they are investigating the claims.
His accuser has said he forced her to perform oral sex on him and attempted to sodomize her after Game 4 of the NBA Finals last week – shortly after he knocked out the Miami Heat mascot.
On Friday video emerged of McGregor leading his accuser into the bathroom and shows his entourage of security guarding the door while they were inside.
In a statement on Friday, a spokesman for Miami Police Department told DailyMail.com: ‘MPD’s Special Victims Unit is investigating a report that was filed Sunday, June 11, 2023. This is an open investigation so no additional information can be released at this time.’
A source close to McGregor said they will cooperate fully with the investigation. He insists the woman’s claims are false and that she is only interested in money.
The accuser’s attorney says her client met McGregor at the NBA Finals game the night of the incident. He had been invited by the NBA and shocked fans by knocking out mascot Burnie, who had to be hospitalized.
According to the legal demand letters issued to not just McGregor’s attorney but also the Heat and the stadium, the woman was on her way out of the building when McGregor’s security summoned her to the VIP men’s restroom.
‘After the game, and after Mr. McGregor sent the Miami Heat mascot Burnie to the hospital, Mr. McGregor elevated his aggressive, unprovoked, and outrageous behavior by violently sexually assaulting and battering this firm’s client in the men’s bathroom of the Kaseya Center,’ it read.
Once inside the bathroom, she claims he forced her to perform oral sex on him, spat on her, and forcibly kissed her. Recently surfaced footage shows McGregor emerging from the bathroom then approaching the woman, taking her by the hand, and walking back towards the bathroom.
Days later, she handed over the clothes she was wearing at the time, claiming they prove he ‘spat’ on her during the alleged ordeal.
In the video she is seen following him and they disappeared behind the door. McGregor’s entourage of security guards is then shown blocking the entrance to the door.
His attorneys say the footage undermines the woman’s original allegation that he and his security guards forced her into the restroom.
‘The claimant’s lawyer now has changed her story. Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he firmly believes will show the claims against him are false.
‘After not responding to the demand for money made by the claimant’s counsel, she turned to the media to apply pressure. This is no more than a shakedown,’ McGregor’s attorney, Barbara R. Llanes, said in a statement.
The woman’s attorney told DailyMail.com she went to police on Sunday to report the incident but was turned away and advised to hire legal help.
Other footage also surfaced allegedly filmed after the incident in which McGregor and his accuser are seen together in a club.
According to the woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, that video shows her client and McGregor were ‘visibly awkwardly interacting with each other.’
She claims that this was a stark contrast to how they were interacting prior to the bathroom encounter.
‘My client has always stated that there would be video of before and after, and in those videos she emphasized that the difference in the interactions between them would be visibly noticeable,’ Mitchell said in a statement to TMZ Sports.
This again is another video that supports what my client has been saying and supports what she told the police since the inception of this incident.’
McGregor has vehemently denied the allegation – his attorney said the clip further proves the claims are false.
‘While the claimant’s story has changed yet again our account of the evening has never changed,’ Barbara R. Llanes said in a statement.
‘This video only reinforces our position. We look forward to the swift conclusion of the investigation.’
In early 2019, reports emerged that McGregor was under investigation by Irish law enforcement for an alleged sexual assault of a woman in a Dublin hotel the previous December.
In October 2019, police received another complaint against McGregor from a woman who said he had sexually assaulted her in a car outside a Dublin pub.
The UFC fighter denied both claims but was at one point arrested and questioned before being released.
In 2021, prosecutors indicated they would not be charging McGregor in connection with the alleged 2018 assault – neither have they pursued legal action over the 2019 complaint.
The woman whose accusations sparked the initial investigation sued McGregor for personal injuries after the criminal case ended without charges, again alleging that he raped her in a Dublin hotel.
Those civil proceedings are ongoing, while the plaintiff granted wide discovery of materials the police obtained in working on the case. McGregor continues to deny the accusation.
In September 2020, McGregor was detained and questioned by authorities on the French island of Corsica in September 2020 for alleged indecent exposure and sexual assault in a bar, spending two days in custody.
Eight months later, they declared a lack of sufficient evidence to justify a criminal prosecution. The investigation is said to have included DNA collection that corroborated his version of events.
