    i think people already know what he is like, this wont shed much fresh light.

    With the whole Diddy scandal going on too, I can't imagine another sexual assault case will help the hip hop artists signed to his Greenback Records in the US.

    Also

    And to think this guy was seriously thinking about running for president at one stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,542 ✭✭✭Homer


    probably better suited to running for Sinn Fein

    His missus is a bigger dope if she stay's with him. He is only scum

    The country has form for voting for corrupt grifters.

    She knows the story and has done for years, none of this will be news to her. It's amazing what a lavish lifestyle will make someone ignore

    Times have definitely changed.

    Whatever happened to the fella who used to just ban anyone from these threads/forums if someone even hinted something remotely negative against a certain Irish sportstar? Were delusions of said sportstar seeing his work online and becoming his best bud cruelly shattered?

    I remember the glory days when you'd get an instant ban for hinting that throwing a metal cart through a bus window full of passengers possibly wasn't an indicator of upper class manners and decorum.

    Diddy's music has seen a huge bump in popularity on Spotify since the allegations started coming out. People are fcuking weird.

    A mam who was found guilty of rape in a civil case was just elected as President of the US. And he has a ot of support over here too. If he is found guilty, it will make little difference. The same scumbags who like him now will still like him.

    I used to like McGregor in his early days when he was a fun guy. Ever since he went down the white trash road I lost all respect for him.

    However branding him a sexual deviant is another thing. Lots of rich men get accused of this stuff because it's normally easy money where they pay up and an NDA gets signed and it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

    I'm very surprised this has seen a court room. McGregor is loaded and a losing this could cost him a huge amount of money because there's a likelihood that Bud Crawford, the p4p best in boxing, is willing to sign up for a two fight deal, one MMA, one boxing where both would earn $100 million per fight.

    Is it a case that this girl cares less about the money and wants to destroy the names of her attackers? I'd admire her greatly for that. Or is it a case that they didn't do it and refuse to pay up?

    It'll be tough for the girl to win this because McGregor has an insane legal team.

    I'm not taking sides here, with the way he's been acting over the last eight or so years it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did something like this.

    But there was no criminal case and I've seen many of them where it's a she said he said situation and it goes to court.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,157 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Reading the court details I absolutely believe this woman. This is not a made up shakedown for money.

    Exactly how likely is this? Because it is the first I am hearing of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,157 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    In a morally-just world, yes.. but don’t be at all surprised if folks still queue in the black forge to get selfies…

    Wonder what the conversation is with Dee and McGregor after her reading the details about this.. she must have 0 self-respect



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭harryharry25


    It's well know this lady refused numerous out of court settlements so she could get the scumbag into a court room



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 259 ✭✭TXPTGR1


    yup he is scum - I’d hate to think of what happens at home behind closed doors



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 259 ✭✭TXPTGR1


    decent people have long since figured this guy out


    even if he’s found guilty he won’t lose 1 person that still thinks he’s a great lad- this has been priced into his whole act for a while now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭hawaii501


    Sure he has terrorised her since this happened with 'break-ins' into her home.

    He also has previous of this, a proper scumbag who knows he can get away with anything because of all his money.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 43,023 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    It was not happening until Crawford said he was interested two weeks ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Kaisr Sose


    Re Dee...love is blind as they say and a lot of money, extravagant life can blind further...

    ...she has to know what he is like..

    Why? Crawford is known to be hugely into MMA and does BJJ with top level athletes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,303 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I haven't read all or many of the details. As it's not exactly enjoyable.
    But a short report I seen said she contacted him at whatever o'clock in the morning. He came and picked her up, they collected a friend and went back to a hotel. If that's true, then it could be damaging in the eyes of the jury, as it's harder to argue she wasn't there voluntary with obvious intentions. Obviously i'm aware intentions can change, consent withdrawn, etc. I'm just think about questions she'll be asked during cross about her intention.
    Also the next day part, where she hung around and slept with the friend? if that accurate, odd and damaging.

    Obviously turned down money to get this to court. So don't believe it's a shakedown either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,629 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    For what it’s worth I believe this woman.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,157 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I must have missed “next day” part. I thought it all occurred on the same day. She says she has no memory of allegedly sleeping with Lawrence… defence barristers will of course try rip a victim to shreds. More I read this the more it really appears like this woman is absolutely sincere.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭Rooks


    I never bought this "he used to be cool, but then..." argument.

    As the man who caved his face in said "money and fame don't change you, it shows people who you really are".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,387 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    I would also be 99% sure that what that lady is alleging is true, i also doubt it was the first time something like this has happened. He is an entitled maniac who is high most of the time, whatever shred of decency that existed in him has been corrupted by the wealth and fame.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,157 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Will McGregor potentially take the stand in this trial?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,925 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Not a chance. It's extremely rare for the accused to give evidence in any trial, criminal or civil, in Ireland.

    Didn’t Trump testify in his sexual assault civil case?
