Conor McGregor’s Fiancée Breaks Silence On Sexual Assault Case: 'They Without Sin Cast The First Stone'
By Afouda Bamidele on November 27, 2024 at 8:30 AM EST
Conor McGregor's fiancée, Dee Devlin, is speaking up with a bold message of support amid his highly publicized sexual assault case.
Her response comes as McGregor himself recently addressed the scandal, assuming responsibility for personal failings while maintaining that the incident was consensual.
The lawsuit stems from allegations of sexual misconduct during a 2018 encounter, a claim Conor McGregor has consistently denied but was ultimately held liable.
Dee Devlin Rips Conor McGregor's Sexual Assault Accuser
The longtime fiancée of the UFC star did not hold back in a fiery Instagram story tirade targeting her partner's accuser, Nikita Hand. In the post shared, Devlin questioned Hand's actions and accused her of hypocrisy amid the sexual assault allegations McGregor has faced.
Devlin alleged that Hand, who has a boyfriend and child of her own, repeatedly sent provocative messages and pictures to McGregor, all while knowing about his family situation. 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?"
Her criticism did not stop there. The mother-of-four accused Hand of being dishonest about her actions, claiming she went on a "3 day bender," neglecting her responsibilities.
"All the while out of her face in a hotel room, dancing around a hotel carpark. What sort of WOMAN are you!!!," Devlin added. The outspoken fiancée concluded in the subsequent story with a vow to her own children:
"My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world."
Devlin Says Fiancé's Accuser Was The Aggressor
While calling out McGregor's accuser, Devlin asserted in her third Instagram story that surveillance footage from the night in question tells a damning story—just not the one Hand claims. "CCTV does not lie," Devlin declared, adding that the footage shows Hand "having the time of [her] life."
She alleged that Hand, not McGregor, was the aggressor, with the video purportedly showing her inappropriate behavior in an elevator. "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," Devlin wrote.
Reflecting on her relationship with McGregor, Devlin described their journey as one of resilience. She credited their four children as a symbol of their enduring bond and then concluded her message with:
"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. They without sin cast the first stone."

Devlin's statement follows McGregor's recent comments on the scandal, where he took accountability for personal missteps while standing firm that the encounter was consensual.
The Blast highlighted McGregor's candid reflection, where he admitted to a lapse in judgment after a Christmas party six years ago. "I should have shut the party down. I should never have betrayed the woman I love the most in this world," McGregor confessed, adding, "That's all on me."
McGregor also extended gratitude to his family, friends, and fans who have supported him throughout his turbulent journey. Though remorseful about his personal failings, the UFC fighter remained firm about fighting the case's conclusion.

The actor's frustration over his civil case outcome erupted in a fiery online rant, marking a stark contrast to his recent statements.
The Blast shared McGregor's angry response to an Irish Independent article quoting his accuser, Nikita Hand, who declared, "Justice has been served." Taking to X, the 38-year-old fired back, writing:
"Justice was served for James Lawrence, yes! Deplorable what they done. Nikita hand, vicious liar! APPEAL!"
ICYMI, the case is centered around allegations that McGregor and Lawrence assaulted Hand following a 2018 Christmas party.
Conor McGregor Vowed To Fight Back
After being found liable and ordered to pay $250,000 in damages in the civil rape case, McGregor took to X and continued to make his frustrations clear. Claiming the jury overlooked critical evidence, McGregor first praised his co-defendant Lawrence, who was cleared of all charges, writing:
"Congrats, James Lawrence, on absolute exoneration! Twice this heinous accusation was put to you and twice it was shown as FALSE! LIES!"
McGregor then doubled down, calling the legal proceedings "disgraceful," and accused the court of ignoring key witness accounts from the night of the alleged incident.
"We know what happened that night! Everyone present knows, yet it was ignored," he declared. The father-of-four vowed to continue fighting, urging for an appeal, stating, "On we fight! Justice and truth will prevail! Appeal! Appeal! Appeal!"
While Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin face public scrutiny over the civil case, their united front shows they are determined to protect their family and fight for their truth.
