    #MEGA MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN


    The Daily Mail clearly not letting go this story - outlines the “links” to the Kinahans and also mentions the “break-in” - and screenshots of Dee’s posts - jayzuz she’s gone to town -

    I can’t embed the photos of the posts but see for yourselves - they’re crass - she’s just brought a whole heap of sh1te onto her

    Given how a lot of McGregor's sources of income are now pulling away from him, now would be the time for her to leave and get as much money as she can if that were her main motivation. Sure, McGregor might pick up some big exhibition fights in UFC or other and get a big payout, but if she was sticking with him for the money, her best bet would be to go now.

    Even if she didn't write those posts from last night or did so under direction from others, the fact is she's pretty clearly staying with him, just like she's stayed with him through everything else over the years. Knowing he repeatedly at the very least cheats on her.

    Nah, she's not in it for the money. She's with him.

    she’s independently wealthy herself. Her staying with him very unlikely to do with money.

    So I guess they don't have an open relationship then? Hhmmm that makes it even worse 😆 that she still standing by him.

    InInfairness the whole lot of them are scumbags so what would you expect.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,442 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Her own net worth is reported to be circa 20 million. She is not some sit on her arse all day and earn nothing sponger. She would have plenty lil deals and promotions here and there.

    Put it this way, if she disappeared tomorrow, she would have more than enough in her own bank to allow her to live comfortably.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,498 ✭✭✭Former Former Former


    Her own net worth is reported to be circa 20 million.

    Every cent of which was earned on the back of being McGregor's partner though? So "independent" maybe isn't the right term.

    I don't doubt that she could leave him tomorrow and live very comfortably, so the only reason she's staying with him is because she believes in him and backs him, and that is a very, very bad reflection on her as a person.

    That’s a separate point to the point I made. She has her own money. She is independently wealthy. Whatever way she became independently wealthy is irrelevant to the point I made.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭ledwithhedwith


    I mean she could probably sell her clobber alone for a couple of million. Jewellery and what not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭ledwithhedwith


    Independent just means she owns her own cash which she does. So it’s correct to say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,442 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    yes. Exactly my point. I simply said she (right now) is independently wealthy. How this became, is not relevant to my point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,540 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    And lets face it, if she left him she'd probably make a huge amount out of interviews, book deal, etc. Hell she'd probably even make it on to Strictly Come Dancing rather than just the RTE Dancing With The Stars.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,498 ✭✭✭Former Former Former


    Well, you said she's "not some sit on her arse all day and earn nothing sponger", as though she earned this money herself. She didn't, and someone in that position is unlikely to kill the golden goose.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,442 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    So, hold on: you’re saying all her money was given to her, and she did absolutely nothing to earn any of it?

    You do know she has been with him years, and his wealth is a combination of his hard work and his earning, but also, it’s a team effort. And she has been a key part of his team for years. A point he has made plenty of times.

    All her own money is not solely down to his handouts. So yes, she is not a sit at home on her arse sponger



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭Kaisr Sose


    She used to work in Children's Hospital Crumlin. The wealth is unlikely to have come from there...

    Ok, she has money, but it's directly linked to her 'mans' fame.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭Quiet Achiever


    Yeah, he needs her to help him relax on his come down. I saw footage of this myself. Think they were on a boat.

    24/7/365, 20 years. That adds up, 20 mill about right.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,540 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Yeah I'm sure she has made some of her own money through brand deals, influencer type sh*te, but the bulk of her "wealth" would be money from him or assets bought by him.

    Maybe that's why they haven't gotten married; if they had she'd arguably get a big chunk of his wealth/assets if she left him. As it stands, it's likely she'd get some money for the children and maybe a little bit of a payout. But like I said, chances are she'd be able to make more of her own money through interviews/book etc.

    I've yet to hear any details of what she's actually done to earn any money. Being a "a key part of his team for years" is not a job. Promoting something on Insta is not a job.

    She has very clearly gained all her money on the back of his success, and fair play to her for that, but describing it as 'earned' is a massive stretch.

    Oh, and btw, she's an awful, awful person.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭Kaisr Sose


    It's a symbiotic financial telationship for sure. She will get her own money from IG and others, but her popularity and earning power will be negatively impacted, if/when (!) his is.

    Her own posts slurring Nikita will not increase her independent value to any marketer.

    When I hear influencer, I just think shill, someone who will promote or say anything for money. Here Dee would be advised to not resort to influencer mode on a private relationship matter. As the old saying goes, 'When you are explaining, you are loosing'.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,540 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Absolutely. Sorry, my hypothetical about what she could earn if she left McGregor was more about if she'd left after him being found liable and not supporting him. The fact she's clearly throwing in right behind him, she's going to hugely damage whatever "brand" she had herself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,442 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    who said anything about a job? You say promoting stuff on Instagram is not a job.. so what.

    If someone promotes something on Instagram and earns money, that’s what’s relevant. Dee very likely has plenty deals and promotions and sponsorships that are, and have earned her (her own money). You saying this is not a job is completely irrelevant

    Has Dee benefitted financially from being with Conor? Absolutely she has. I never said she didn’t. But to imply/claim that she has done nothing to earn any of her own money is stupid.

    And, my point was so simple: she is (right now) independently wealthy. How that has came about is not my point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭cms88


    It's interesting how some people when results like this don't go the way they want they're very fact with the ''not guilty doesn't mean innocent'' yet when it goes they way they want there's no question.

    I'm not defending him or anything but it's just funny to see the double standards some people have.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,442 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Yes, this is human nature, but in this case there are quite a many many who believe that he did sexually assault (rape) Ms. Hand. And would believe it had he been found not liable. Some of these people want it to be true because of who he is, but there are plenty who have based their views on the evidence heard



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,540 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    It's not so much a double standard as it is an acknowledgement of the bar which has to be reached for a guilty/liable verdict to be found.

    Just because someone is found not guilty doesn't mean they didn't commit the act, particularly when the investigation and case has progressed far enough that it reaches a court to begin with. It can just mean there's enough reasonable doubt or a lack of evidence to support finding someone guilty/liable.

    If I punched you and it went to court, but there was no actual evidence that I punched you other than your testimony and I was found not guilty… were you then not punched?

    No legal system is flawless. Guilty people are often found innocent. Innocent people are often found guilty. But a court ruling doesn't always prove conclusively if the act was committed, and so people are still entitled to voice their own beliefs on the situation. That's not a double standard, it's just opinion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,498 ✭✭✭Former Former Former


    TBH, a huge part of people's willingness to believe her is the fact that McGregor does not have a great track record when it comes to violence or self-control.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,906 ✭✭✭Feisar


    First they came for the socialists...

    I can't agree on this.

    I think McGregors aggressive personality has to spill into his Homelife.

    Based on that I think his girlfriend is stuck in a rut and only too delighted he's off with other young one's.

    She probably doesn't even realise it but I reckon her whole life is just about making McGregor happy so she's possibly brainwashed (for want of a better description) into doing anything that will keep his temper at bay and sure if gets her a brownie point all the better.

    I think his girlfriend is a victim and doesn't even realise it, she should be pitied not vilified.

    Edited to add this, I lay the blame at his mothers door.
