Conor McGregor in nude picture scandal after Azealia Banks leak
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info American rapper Azealia Banks has leaked unsolicited pictures of Conor McGregor as she accuses the MMA fighter of threatening her. The former UFC champion sent her nudes, which she proceeded to post on the platform publicly. She further accused him of threatening her not to tell anybody, reports the Irish Mirror. Leaking McGregor's pics, she wrote on X: "How you gonna send a b**ch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**ga do you know who the f**k I am?" She further mocked the MMA fighter and wrote: "Honey...... ain't u trying to be the president of Ireland what is it giving fam?" She further shared another screenshot where she claimed that McGregor woke up early and deleted his pictures from her chat. However, she revealed the threat part in the chat, in which McGregor said: "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught." In another tweet, she once again mocked the Dubliner's announcement to run for Irish presidency, sharing, "Conor McGregor 4 President". (Image: Instagram) A spokesman for McGregor has been contacted for comment. Banks' post against McGregor also coincides with the UFC lightweight champion's 37th birthday, which saw tributes from his fiancée and mother of four, Dee Devlin. It comes as pictures were obtained of the controversial star cosying up to a mystery woman on the beach in Florida in front of a crowd. The ex-UFC champ was caught on camera getting up close and personal with a bikini-clad lady on a Fort Lauderdale beach over the weekend. In the images seen by the Irish Mirror, McGregor put his hand on her thigh, had his arm slung over her shoulder, and seemingly planted a kiss on her lips. His fiancée, Devlin, posted on social media for the first time since the photos surfaced. But she made no mention of them in her upload, instead celebrating McGregor's 37th birthday on Monday. She reposted a tribute from a fan page on her Instagram story that said: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." The post included a montage of the couple in their joyous moments. The pair have been an item for 16 years, got engaged in 2020, and have four kids together – sons Conor Jr, eight, Rian, four, Mack, one, and their daughter Croia, six. Their partnership has weathered its fair share of storms, notably McGregor's civil rape case. Last November, a High Court civil jury found him civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand. He faced allegations of "brutally raping and battering" Ms Hand at a hotel in south Dublin back in November 2018. McGregor maintained that their sexual interactions at the Beacon Hotel were consensual. The jury sided with her, with €248,603.60 in damages awarded. McGregor has mounted an appeal against the ruling that got underway earlier this month. Once again standing united with McGregor as they exited the High Court last year, Devlin later expressed her unwavering support on social media: "My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM! "Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are! No one is entitled to comment on our relationship - we trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!" McGregor has now been absent from the UFC for over four years. His last fight, a second successive defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, saw him break his leg. He has teased fans with talks of a comeback several times since, yet his anticipated June 2024 clash with Michael Chandler was scrapped and wasn't rescheduled.

Acclaimed author John Banville on growing up surrounded by institutional abuse – ‘We shouldn't move on too quickly'
Speaking on Newstalk's The Hard Shoulder with Kieran Cuddihy, John opened up about how he felt about Wexford when he was growing up and how he feels about it now. In the mid 1950s, he says Ireland was a 'mean little country' and was excited to get out of Wexford. While Dublin was not Paris or London, it was bigger and more exciting, and that was a pull for John who found Wexford 'terribly boring.' When he was living in Dublin and would return to Wexford on weekends, he began to notice the beauty of the town. John has made Ireland his lifelong home, not the case for his literary predecessors James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw and most famously Oscar Wilde who left Ireland for a better understanding of what it could be. The Wexford man stayed, but as an 'internal exile'. Midway through his conversation with host Kieran Cuddihy, he touched on the 'many terrible things' in Ireland's past. John feels we could be more open and cognisant of our history. In the 1990s, 'my American wife used to go to a laundry in Donnybrook. She came back and said, 'You know there is something funny about that place.' And it was only years later that we discovered that was the last of the Magdeline Laundries,' he recalls. For John it was the 1980s and the 1990s, that he remembers all of the public discourse around child abuse. 'Any grown up people, any grown up nation would go through a period of trauma after all this. We didn't. We just said, 'oh look the priests have gone', let's start making money, let's have pop groups, let's win at soccer. Roddy Doyle always insisted Ireland changed in 1990. 'But before you move on, you have to acknowledge what we did. 56,000 women were taken into mother and care homes, 57,000 children were born in there. A lot of them were buried, some of them in sewage pits. We shouldn't move on too quickly.' John attended CBS for primary school, which he enjoyed, before going on to St. Peter's College. 'I was clever and I was top of the class so I wasn't picked on. But the weak ones at the back of the class, they were abused. I knew about it, but I didn't want to know about it. Therefore I told myself it wasn't happening and I think the country did that as well.' For this, John feels personal guilt. 'We knew. We knew and didn't know, you know the way the Germans knew and didn't know. People living near Belsen knew what that smoke was coming out of the chimney.' When John was 10 or 11, he was walking along the main street in Wexford. Just ahead of him was a pregnant woman with a pram, who was holding her toddler by the hand. Walking towards them was a priest and it was the mother who got off the narrow pavement to allow the priest to pass. He has never forgotten that. For John Banville, that encapsulates a world where the church had 'absolute power.'
