Former UFC star Andrew Tate has landed himself into heat after making a remark on the sexual assault allegations made on Conor McGregor. Recently a woman accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her in game four of the NBA Final on June 9, Friday. The alleged incident took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami and the woman claimed that McGregor assaulted her in the men's bathroom of the arena after the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 108-95 on June 9.
Tate sparked outrage with his remark as he reacted to the allegations against the 34-year-old UFC fighter. With his comment, Tate seemed to draw parallels between his own legal difficulties as he was once involved in human trafficking. The 36-year-old social media influencer suggested that healthy men always face false allegations. The ‘Cobra’ tweeted, “Human Trafficker”. In another tweet, he wrote, “No men with money are safe. They’re coming for all of us.”
TMZ reported that as per the allegations made against McGregor, the Miami Heat and NBA security personnel escorted the alleged victim away from her friend. She was then taken to the men's bathroom, where the UFC star assaulted her ‘violently’. Notably, the UFC star was present at the NBA Final for the promotion of his Tidl Sport recovery spray. Gregor also participated in a halftime skit and punched a Heat mascot multiple times. The mascot artist was reported to be taken to the hospital.
'Notorious' and his representatives declined the accusations in an official statement and claimed the allegations to be false. The statement also read, “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.” Apart from that, Miami Heat and NBA released their statements which said that the organisations are aware of the allegations and are conducting investigations.
