Conor McGregor accused of sexual assault at NBA Finals game
According to TMZ, UFC star Conor McGregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman just after Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals, which took place in Miami at the Kaseya Center. TMZ acquired some demand letters from an attorney named Ariel Mitchell, who wrote that McGregor “violently” sexually assaulted a woman inside a men’s restroom just after the conclusion of the game.
Per TMZ, security members of the NBA and Miami Heat sequestered the woman into the bathroom before McGregor committed the alleged assault.
“In the letters, Mitchell claims that NBA and Heat security helped separate the woman from her friend … and then forced her into a restroom that McGregor and his security guard were already inside of.”
The letters also say: “Security refused to let [the woman] exit or allow anyone else, including her friend, inside the bathroom.” After she was inside, per the letters, McGregor came out from a handicapped stall and “shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”
Per the letters, TMZ says the woman tried to get away but McGregor forced her to have oral sex with him and also attempted to sodomize her. Eventually, says TMZ, the woman got away but left her purse behind. However, after pleading with the aforementioned security guards, she was able to get the purse back, leave the arena and report the incident to local authorities.

In the letters acquired by TMZ, Mitchell also states that the victim is seeking a settlement from the NBA, the Miami Heat and Conor McGregor rather than launch an investigation into the incident.
McGregor and his people aren’t too worried about the whole ordeal just yet. His team announced shortly after the news broke that the “allegations are false” and “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated” as they fight this.
Of course, McGregor was at the game and even sat front row since he was participating in the halftime show. For whatever reason, the Miami Heat thought it would be a good idea to have McGregor punch their mascot, Burnie. Well, it wasn’t a good idea as the person in the costume was sent to the hospital on Friday night.
If there was ever a sign of things to come in this NBA Finals series, it should have been this bit. Promoting his new pain relief spray, Conor McGregor was supposed to rough up Burnie, but perhaps not to the level that he actually did when he knocked the poor dude out.
