Conor McGregor alleged lady victim had her car set on fire
Earlier this month, a 40-year-old woman who filed an official complaint accusing Conor McGregor of assault had her car burned on fire (per MailOnline). Last year, on a yacht in Ibiza, the woman claimed that McGregor hit and kicked her and that she dived overboard to get away from him, fracturing her arm. The Drimnagh neighborhood of Dublin had a suspected arson, according to Irish police.
The statement added, “Gardai are investigating suspected criminal damage by fire event that happened at a home property in Drimnagh, Dublin 12 at around 10 p.m. on Thursday, January 19, 2023. During this occurrence, no injuries occurred. At this time, no one was arrested. The inquiries continue.”
According to MailOnline, the woman filed a civil lawsuit against McGregor over the alleged yacht incident in Dublin’s High Court one day after. In the civil proceeding, the plaintiff asks the court to secure any CCTV, camera phone footage, or any tangible evidence that could be used to support her assault allegations.
Joe Rogan accused of putting psychology license under threat
A contentious clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson, could lose his certification due to UFC commentator Joe Rogan. As he admitted, the well-known podcaster appears to have been involved in 13 lawsuits against the Canadian psychotherapist.
The former Fear Factor host initiated the chat and mentioned that the 60-year-driving old’s privileges were perilous. Because of your political ideas, which they disagree with, he announced, “Your clinical psychology license is in peril, which is a very hazardous and odd turn of events.” The guest retaliated, saying, “Well, it’s truly your fault, you know.” The 55-year-old, though, erupted in laughter and curiously inquired as to how he was to blame.
