Conor McGregor receives a public message of support from his partner Dee Devlin following his civil rape case

Dee Devlin broke her silence after fiancé Conor McGregor lost his civil sexual assault case last week.

A High Court jury ordered him to pay complainant Nikita Hand €248,603.60 (£206,556.03) after she accused the Irishman of raping her in a Dublin hotel.

McGregor no criminal charges were brought against him, as decided by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in 2020.

He rejected the request and intends to appeal.

His partner of 15 years, Devlin, arrived shoulder-to-shoulder with double the weight UFC champion during his final auditions and posted a statement on Instagram on Tuesday evening.

“Conor and I addressed these issues privately many years ago, as you should in a relationship, and we came out stronger than ever,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

“We now have four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!

“No one has the right to comment on our relationship – we trust and love each other.

“Nothing and no one will change this. Our family is strong!”

She also reserved a few choice words for Mrs. Hand.

The day before Devlin’s support, McGregor released a statement apologizing to his fiancée.

“People want to hear about me, I needed time,” he wrote in X.

“I know I made mistakes. Six years ago I shouldn’t have responded to her requests.

“I should have shut down the party. I should never have thrown myself at the woman I love most in the world.

“It’s all my fault. As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all witnesses present swore to it under oath.

“I have instructed my legal team to appeal this decision. I can’t turn back time and I will keep going.

“I am extremely grateful to my family, friends and fans around the world who stood by me.

“That’s all. Never again. We’re going back to the gym – the fight awaits!

This comes after the company that bought Proper No. whiskey. Twelve from MMA Star declared that McGregor’s “name and likeness” did no longer be used on their products.

McGregor sold his whiskey brand to Mexican company Proximo Spirits in 2021 for $130 million (£103.6 million).

It has been used in many post-sale advertising campaigns for alcoholic beverages.

However, Proximo has stated that this will no longer be the case in the future.

“As of 2021, Proximo Spirits is 100% owner of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey,” the company said in response to questions.

“We do not plan to use Mr. McGregor’s name or likeness in brand marketing in the future.”

Tesco and other major retailers such as SuperValu, Centra, Costcutter and Carry Out have also taken a stand, insisting they no longer stock McGregor-related products.

Meanwhile, IO Interactive, the company behind the Hitman video game series, is also ending its relationship with “Notorious.”

A character based on McGregor appears in Hitman World of Assassination, but IO Interactive has since withdrawn the DLC.

“We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its consequences,” the company wrote on Monday.

“As a result, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr. McGregor from our stores starting today.”
