Vogue Williams has called out ‘heinous’ Conor McGregor after he was found liable for sexually assaulting a woman in a civil case.
The Irish TV personality, 40, shared her fury towards the MMA fighter, 38, on the latest episode of her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me as she raged ‘Why are people still putting this grim man on a pedestal?’
Vogue said: ‘Do you know who is grim and who has so many followers and people that are like actually interested in following him is that complete t*****, Conor McGregor.’
‘The charges that are against him are heinous,’ she fumed. ‘They’re just so bad what he did.’
‘I don’t understand if the rest of the world doesn’t actually know that yet or else they’re just pretending that they don’t know it and they’re still continuing to put this man on a pedestal.
‘It just makes me so sad that we’re still there in the world that you’d be impressed by somebody like that.’
Vogue questioned why McGregor, who boasts 46.6million Instagram followers, still has a supporting fanbase despite losing his civil lawsuit.
McGregor was found liable and ordered to pay around £187,000 ($250,000) damages to Nikita Hand who accused him of raping her at a hotel in Dublin in 2018.
He denied the allegation and said he had ‘fully consensual sex’ with Hand. He also denied causing bruising to the plaintiff.
McGregor subsequently launched an appeal on the basis of five grounds, one of which involved evidence that was withdrawn at a hearing in July.
The jury found McGregor civilly liable for assault. In civil cases, a defendant is found liable or not liable.
