Professional fighter Conor McGregor is being accused of rape once again. This time a woman is claiming that the UFC star raped her at Game 4 of the NBA Finals earlier this month. However, he’s speaking out to say that these allegations are not true.
According to demand letters obtained by TMZ, the incident happened just after the Nuggets had won the game on June 9 at the Kaseya Center in Florida. As some are aware, McGregor attended the game that night and had courtside seats. He even participated in a halftime skit where he punched a Heat mascot while promoting his Tidl Sport recovery spray.
However, according to the letters authored by attorney Ariel Mitchell, McGregor allegedly “violently” sexually assaulted a woman inside of a men’s bathroom at some point during the evening. Mitchell details NBA and Heat security helping separate the woman from her friend then allegedly forcing her to go into the restroom with McGregor and his security guard who were already inside. The lawyer claims McGregor came out of a handicap stall “and shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”

It was said that “security refused to let [the woman] exit or allow anyone else, including her friend, inside the bathroom,” TMZ quotes. However, the woman was able to get McGregor off of her by telling him she had to pee. Unfortunately, that didn’t help as McGregor allegedly then forced her to have oral sex with him.
From there, things got worse. McGregor was then accused of pinning the woman to wall and attempted to do more sexual acts with her. However, she was able to elbow the MMA fighter and made a swift escape. Unfortunately, she left her purse behind. Mitchell says McGregor’s security guards “held hostage” until she pleaded for them to return her items.
Thankfully, the woman was able to get away from all the chaos and immediately reported the incident where officers told her to get an attorney.
As a result of the scary incident, the woman is seeking settlements with not just McGregor but NBA, and the Heat in lieu of litigation, TMZ notes.
