Well aren’t you the lucky one?

I don’t know if you are incredibly naive, a bit thick or trying to be intentionally insulting, but if you think that leaving a violent man is as simple as telling him not to do anything to stop you or you’ll report him to the police, then I’m happy for you that you’ve never had that experience. I really am.

Who knows, she might be blissfully in love with him and believing everything that comes out of his mouth. Who are we to know? But his crimes are not her crimes.

Really? The man does something absolutely horrific and puts a rape victim through all sorts of trauma. Yet @LuluBlakey1 writes a single sentence about him and the rest of her post is dedicated to how the women around him are in the wrong. What would you call that if not internalised misogyny? The women didn’t rape anyone. The women didn’t threaten anyone. The women didn’t break anyone’s jaw. They aren’t responsible for what that creature did.

I put all the blame on him fir his actions- never said anything else. But if you support him- you minimise his actions- and I can not understands any woman doing that.

Women have choices. Not necessarily easy ones but they have choices.

There's a lot of coked up scumbags around, did you hear about that poor woman who was tortured due to her friends drug debt recently?

I definitely wouldn't put it past McGregor to make her life an absolute nightmare if she left. I'm not saying he'd get Dee tortured but just saying he'd easily find people out there to scare her and watch her etc.

She didn't say the women were responsible for his behaviour. She was frustrated that women having relationships with and being involved with these kinds of men might send out a message that they condone their disgusting behaviour.

If the women are there by choice, @LuluBlakey1 has a point, but obviously in this case we don't know but suspect it's no longer by choice.

I agree with you, but Lulu is not a misogynist 🙄

You can roll your eyes as much as you like. If you can’t see it, then I don’t know what to say to you. We’re unlikely to change each other’s opinion so I suggest we agree to differ and leave it there.

Blooody hell. This guy sounds like an absolute nightmare. How is he not locked up?!

I very much hope you mean that he's not been convicted of a crime in a criminal court.

Do you honestly believe he has committed no crimes?

SoiledMyselfDuringSomeTurbulence · 22/11/2024 22:25

Even leaving this aside, he's got a criminal conviction list as long as your arm.

You said What astonishes me is he has a partner and parents who are standing by him. How could anyone do that? I am baffled by any woman being able to support a piece of shit like this I tried to explain to you that none of us know whether or not she’s supporting him or not and that it’s entirely possible that she’s there because she’s doing her best to keep herself and her children safe. And instead of acknowledging that, you continued to rail against women rather than the men who commit these crimes. I’m obviously paraphrasing here, but it was along the lines of ‘yes, I’ve already said he’s disgusting, but let’s go back to criticising the women’.

And again, I ask you what choices she has? Do you think a violent man that treats women as things to do with as and when he pleases, will happily wave her off with their four children? Would you leave your children in the sole care of a violent rapist?

EvilsElsasPetSnowman · 22/11/2024 22:28

Good.

How the fuck Conor McGregor isn’t serving a life sentence for all the crimes he has committed I’ll never know. Including the intimidation of witnesses and relative ls of his victims. His Mrs ought to be ashamed to still be hanging off his arm. I wish I could ask her if the money if worth staying with a rapist

EvilsElsasPetSnowman · 22/11/2024 22:30

I hope social services are involved in the family - Dee Devlin is choosing to stay in a relationship with a demonstrably violent man. If that was Barry from Asda his children would be on the at risk register. I hope the same happens to this odious rapist

'That partner of his' might also be a victim of his control and abuse. Its not that easy to just leave someone especially when you have kids and he is a powerful, rich, violent man who would not hesitate to hurt you/kill you in a heartbeat.

Oh give over

She has a hell of a lot more money and power than the vast majority of women. She also has 4 children to protect. It’s not hard to leave but staying with an extremely violent man and hanging off his arm at his rape trial is hardly admirable qualities. At what point do we say “Actually she really should leave now”? When he kills someone? When he beats one of his children?

EvilsElsasPetSnowman · 22/11/2024 22:44

Pablova · 22/11/2024 19:21

He is an insignificant piece of shit. How would anyone who does not follow UFC have heard of him. ?

Are you suggestion the victim threw herself at him and thus deserved to be raped?

I follow boxing but the reason I know of this rapist is because of publicity around his criminal behaviour

Autumnlovelove · 22/11/2024 22:44

@Mebebecat exactly this. That woman is trapped. Do you really think he would ever let her leave with his kids. Never.
All the people coming at her saying how awful she is and berating her for staying with him, clearly do not understand anything about abusive relationships.
She doesnt have a choice. He has money, strength, power and connections.
He is a violent aggressive rapist. I doubt she would get out of the situation alive if she attempted to leave him.

Autumnlovelove · 22/11/2024 22:46

@EvilsElsasPetSnowman genuine question. Do you think he would really let her leave with his kids?
Do you really truly believe there would be no violent repercussions for her?

You have no idea if she doesn’t have a choice. There’s more support for women than ever and no court in the land would ever give him custody. She had the money and she would have bags of support. There’s also 4 children who are at risk and it’s a disservice to them to say “Oh well their mum is trapped”. Which is why I hope SS are involved

mollyfolk · 22/11/2024 22:50

Apologies now - she is not married she is going out with. Couldn't edify my post. Her boyfriend is apparently a long time associate of McGregor's. My point is that they all live in a bubble of some of the most dangerous people.

Well she is in a weaker position for having never married him really: they have been engaged for 4 years I think.

She lives in this very violent and dangerous world full of violent and armed men. Drimnagh (where his pub is) is only a couple of miles away from me but I think it's very hard to put myself in her shoes. It's so far removed from anything I have experienced.

Even if she believes him, she was heavily pregnant at the time, with a baby already. And he had spent the entire weekend partying and off his head with a suite booked to take girls too.

I'm just happy not to be her.

If he was present when no.

But it would be far easier to orchestrate leaving when you are wealthy, Your situation is well known and you have the support of services. It can happen and women do it all the time. It’s no excuse to keep your children living with a violent man when you could leave instead

Salome61 · 22/11/2024 22:54

Poor woman, I had cervical cancer and the tampon stuck in her cervix is terrifying.

Whothefuckdoesthat · 22/11/2024 22:56

@EvilsElsasPetSnowman You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. And that’s great, I’m happy for you. But you are talking out of your ear.

Autumnlovelove · 22/11/2024 22:57

@EvilsElsasPetSnowman you are lucky that you have no idea about abusive relationships.

She cant just leave him. Its not that easy.
He is a violent rich rapist with contacts.
Where would she turn to? Social services? What are they going to do?

His rape victim had her house broken into by masked intruders and her husband stabbed.

Imagine what he would do his partner if she tried to take her kids?

BarbaraHoward · 22/11/2024 23:07

Horrified this thread about a man's assault of a woman is descending into slagging off another woman.

I don't know much about McGregor's partner, but we know how hard it is for women to leave in normal circumstances. Leaving someone with McGregor's resources, temper and connections would be terrifying.
