Vogue Williams has slated people for putting Conor McGregor “on a pedestal”
Vogue Williams has called out people who continue to support Conor McGregor in a new episode of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me.
Vogue and fellow presenter, Joanne McNally, were discussing Andrew Tate’s recent arrest in Miami when Conor McGregor was mentioned in the conversation.
The podcast host said she can’t understand why people continue to support McGregor. McGregor was found liable in a civil case for the rape of Nikita Hand in 2018.
She was awarded €248,603 in damages following the jury’s ruling, which saw McGregor liable for rape and assault, with paramedics stating that they had not seen ‘someone so bruised’ in a long time.
Both Vogue and Joanne couldn’t understand why people continued to follow the disgraced UFC champion.
Vogue shared, “Do you know who else is grim and has so many followers and people are actually interested in following is that complete tosser, Conor McGregor….
“The charges that are against him are heinous, and I don’t understand if the rest of the world doesn’t actually know that yet?” she said.
“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 somebody like that, that you’d be impressed by somebody like that.”
Joanne McNally replied: “And when the women post these videos, they get this onslaught from men and women saying ‘hasn’t been proven guilty yet’ or ‘wait until the trial’… It’s all very strange.”
Their comments come after McGregor appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s late-night show in America. The interview was met with global backlash.
The host was branded ‘spineless’ and ‘pathetic’ for inviting the Irish UFC fighter for an interview
