Sounds like a rage bait. Any source with investigation results?
Also IO Interactive gave this rapist a bag of money to have him in their Hitman game. Don’t buy that new 007 game or any of IOI’s work.
In January 2021, after prosecutors declined to prosecute McGregor for the 2018 alleged sexual assault, a civil claim for damages was launched in the High Court.
On 22 November 2024, the jury returned their verdict and found that McGregor had raped Hand. Accordingly, McGregor was ordered to pay Hand nearly €250,000 in damages.
What the fuck Ireland? You're all okay with this dumbass justice system?
if you elect a rapist president, you're gonna have have rapist celebrities....
Conor McGregor is Irish.
Though I suppose I'm unaware if the president of Ireland is a rapist or not.
Which rape is this? He's raped many women.
This is the woman who sued him in civil court and won, Nikita Hand. Not before McGregor's goons broke in and stabbed her boyfriend several times though.
He's always been this way.
No surprise. Fallon is barely even human. Just a hollow machine for propagating the system's needs.

Fallon and every single person involved in lining up McGregor as a guest. Absolutely disgusting.
You can see it in his eyes, he's dead inside.
I agree, and his smile is plastic. He looks pained every time he does it as if he's counting in his head how long to hold the grin for the camera.
Makes me miss Alex Trebek on Jeopardy. I like Ken Jennings and he's a good host but he sort of has that always smily, happy style like is required today in media. That might just be him being Mormon though. Alex had a great deadpan humor and definitely wasn't always laughing, I don't think you're allowed on TV if you act like a real person anymore.
That was a solid read
As someone who has never seen the show outside of snippets posted as memes or whatever, that is a haunting description of something you'd use in a movie or video game to create uncanny horror.
Then the meta-horror hits that this is our world.
Thank you, I enjoyed that article.
every corporate spokesperson, every one of their public facing people. are not people.
just a replaceable part of a machine that is slowly killing us all.
after work, when at home, they are people. but at work they sell their personhood to be an avatar for those corporations.
Let's not make excuses for these people.
Not making excuses. just stating that they dehumanise themselves willingly.
I would love to build a video game based on this concept. Not Fallon or a late night show, but the anti-gothic horror described in that peice, the desperate performative enthusiastic rejection of reality.
fallon is fucking scum... how this untalented clown has a career is beyond me. his whole schtick was him laughing like a fucking moron while breaking character and ruining skits
His whole job is effectively creating the pre-recorded sitcom laugh track for our society. He has never been funny, like you said, when working with actually funny people his only move was to "mess up" and ruin their good work.
His only talent is being charismatic enough (somehow) to make others think they should be laughing when they see him do it. It's a laugh track, it's literally just directly telling people "you're having fun!", and a bunch of us sadly responding with "gosh that guy sure is fun". This man's entire career.
Jimmy Fallon would happily keep doing his latenight comedy show where he socializes with members of the ruling class even if we had gas chambers and mass executions.
Good for her. Television in the US is about the become (even more of) an absolute wasteland due to the continuing consolidation of media control, I would hope that some of these hosts/anchors/actors/artists would push back some seeing as how they are the ones people want to see. No one is watching TV for the ads despite what they would really like
Text reads:
Conor McGregor raped a woman so brutally that the EMT who saw her commented on the severity of her bruising. She also had to have the tampon she was using when he raped her surgically removed, as it had been shoved so far inside her.
Why the ABSOLUTE FUCK is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon's show?
Shame on you, Jimmy.
Man, if I ever watched Fallon, I'd be super pissed right now...
It’s ok, you can be pissed that a rapist is being platformed at all. Especially in mainstream media.
What I don't get is, rape aside, asshole is a retired injured MMA fighter... what is he even doing on television AT ALL?
He’s running for office in Ireland or plans to, is what I’ve heard.
Wow, so part of a "rehabilitation tour". Wonderful.
Has he "found" Christianity yet? That's the go-to move to try and avoid consequences
He's doing one more fight with another ~~retired~~ old fighter. Also, he got popular enough that he's trying to pivot to other things, kinda like Tyson.
Connor McGregor is definitely a fucking asshole and not relevant as a human being, let alone as a fighter. But Max Holloway is not retired, even if he is "old" in fight miles. He's in fact the current 4th ranked Lightweight in the UFC, and by all accounts a very decent human being (even if he does punch people for a living)
Apologies, I don't follow mma too closely. Can't wait to see Max sleep Connor.
How the fuck did.he end up in the remake of Roadhouse. Was that entire production and cast made up of right wingers and misogynists?
Did not a single person involved read his Wikipedia and ask "what the fuck are we doing?"
Who is this guest person? Are they notable for any reason other than being a rapist? I would like to avoid whatever they’re involved in.
I would like to avoid whatever they’re involved in.
UFC
And now Irish politics, well, failed attempt at Irish politics
Conor McGregor is rapist piece of shit.
He’s also a professional fighter.
yeah he's notable for also being a Nazi fuck
he's been a very vocal anti-immigration activist in the uk. organising marches and what not. i think he even tried getting into local politics.
I never thought Jimmy Falon was funny and now I know he's an asshole (like Connor Mcgregor for different reasons).
His comedy is watered down crap. They play to the lowest common denominator. He's also a rule follower. Even if the rule is stupid. He does what he's told. The worst kind of person
