I asked myself, 'who did I piss off today?', it definitely wasn't the EV owners.' 'Now come on, this not me in the picture. I have been getting abusing messages all day long; people telling I'm breaking up families.' 'And secondly, I haven't been on holiday in months, id love to go away.

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. "'How you gonna send a b**** a some crooked d*** pics then threaten her not to tell,' she wrote alongside the screenshots. '@TheNotoriousMMA n**** do you know who the f*** I am? This is HARAM'," said Banks on social media. 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?'

Car dealer Nadia Adan slams claims she is mystery woman on beach with Conor McGregor
The Ashford Motors car dealer rubbished the notion that she is the dark-haired woman pictured kissing the MMA star. Social media star and Ashford Motors owner Nadia Adan has hit back at claims she is the mystery woman seen kissing Conor McGregor in a series of recently published pictures. Over the weekend, The Sun released photos of McGregor appearing to kiss the unindentified woman on a beach in Florida. It was reported the UFC fighter 'cozied up' with the dark-haired woman after taking a jet ski ride. The father-of-four has been engaged to his partner Dee Devlin since 2020, with the pair having been a couple for the past 16 years. Nadia Adan posted on her Instagram story. Photo: Instagram In response to the pics going online, Nadia hit back at any suggestion that she is the unnamed woman seen alongside the 37-year-old. Writing on Instagram, she said: 'For everyone messaging me, this most definitely is not me, rumours travel and people believe them. 'This could potentially destroy someone, pls be kind, thanks Nadia x.' The second-hand car dealer then followed that up with another short video on her story, stating she had been getting 'abusive messages' over photos that she is not in. 'I woke up this morning to a plethora of calls and messages. I asked myself 'who did I piss off today?' – it definitely wasn't the EV owners.' 'Now come on, this not me in the picture. I have been getting abusing messages all day long; people telling I'm breaking up families.' The Wicklow woman previously revealed in 2022 that when McGregor punched a punter in a pub for refusing to drink his whiskey, it cost her tens of thousands in a lucrative motor deal. Nadia Adan (left) and Conor McGregor (right) Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 15th 2025 The Dubliner had sold his BMW i8 to the car dealer before an American fan bid €250,000 to get their hands on a vehicle previously owned by the MMA star. "I had it sold for stupid money and I had a big deposit – then, obviously, that incident happened in the pub and your man called me up and said 'look, I don't like what he did' or whatever, and added, 'I'm not doing the deal',' Nadia previously told the Sunday World. 'Unfortunately, Conor went and did what he did to the guy in the pub and your man reneged on the deal and I said 'ah look, it's fine'.' McGregor was fined €1,000 in November 2019 for assaulting Desmond Keogh at the Marble Arch pub in Dublin's Drimnagh the previous April. Nadia has become one of the best known second-hand car dealers in Ireland through her company Ashford Motors, which has more than 233,000 followers on TikTok and another 128,000 on Instagram. 'I started doing fun videos,' she previously told Evoke. 'I would be hunkered down close to a car and viewers would have to try to guess the model. 'I had a low-cut top on and it sounds ridiculous, but it worked. People just didn't know what to do with me. "They put me in a glamour model box, and that's fine, but I wasn't that. I'm a businesswoman, I'm educated, I can talk the talk, plus I have my boobs on show.' Nadia, who had worked previously as a stockbroker, came to Ireland as a young girl with her mother after they fled their home country of Somalia as refugees. Her mother took on five jobs to put Nadia through college, where she got a Masters in Trinity College. 'I had always been into my cars and the guys I were working with always drove nice cars. I bought a nice motor and I ended up selling it one day on my lunch break in Tesco car park and I made a few bob on it, and that's when I said to myself 'that was a bit of fun',' she recalls. 'I was always doing a buy and sell, just buying and selling stocks. Dealing in cars is very similar.' She officially started trading at her Rathnew showroom in Co Wicklow in March 2020. Previously she had sold cars from her family home in nearby Ashford.

Maserati, Porsche and Peugeot lead the pack as Wicklow vintage car show goes off with a bang
There was a truly unique selection of motors on display in St Patrick's Church, including a very original 1920s Bentley, a rare 1950s Maserati and a magnificent 1980s Ferrari, as well as a rank of unique Ford vehicles, spanning the decades, showing how the marque has evolved over the years. All were hoping to impress the special guest judge for the show, expert dealer and social media influencer, Nadia Adan from Ashford Motors. Remarking on the turnout, organisers Andrew and Philippa Bailey said: 'We are delighted with the huge amount of support for the show, both from those exhibiting cars and those attending as visitors. It was an event run by the community for the community and was a fantastic example of everyone coming together to create something special. "The atmosphere was really uplifting, with the Stedfast Band providing wonderful music, children playing games, the parish refreshment tent being a central focus for socialising and the golden ticket raffle for rides in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang causing great excitement. It was also an honour to have the winning Deutz tractor from the 1964 World Ploughing Championship on display too,' they continued. "We had a remarkable array of cars on show, many from private collections, but there could only be three winners. The public voted an exceptional 1956 Maserati 150S as their car of choice, the entrants voted for a 1933 Peugeot 301CR and Nadia Adan of Ashford Motors, who was the celebrity judge, chose a 1973 Porsche 911 E as her favourite. 'We would like to thank everyone who travelled to come to the show, all the amazing volunteers and also our sponsors: Ashford Motors, Auto Care, AXA, Glen Fuels, Goggin Insurances, King Tree Services, Panda, Pension & Financial and Powerscourt Estate,' they concluded.

Garage boss Nadia Adan leads epic supercar rally for Ireland's sick kids
Bighearted businesswoman Nadia Adan is leading the cheers for this Bumbleance charity run that gears up today. Bumbleance is a children's ambulance charity that has taken thousands of children to appointments at hospitals across Ireland. Heartbreakingly, the service also transports some kids back home for the last time. Nadia told the Irish Mirror: 'I will be leading the Bumbleance charity run. It's a brilliant cause and I am so happy to get behind it from the front. Bumbleance is a children's ambulance charity that has taken over 2,000 Irish kids to hospital appointments and some back home for their last time with dignity. It's a great cause and one that depends on this run.' Garage boss Nadia, who owns Ashford Motors in Wicklow, will be driving a Lamborghini to promote the charity and will be at all the stops. It launched on Friday, at 4pm from Railway Karting in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, and Nadia said: 'I really hope people can join us on the route.' The cars then cruise through Ballybofey in Donegal, Ballina in Mayo, Maam Cross in Galway's Connemara. They set off today from Galway city on their way to Tullamore in Offaly and swinging back up northward to Banbridge in Co Down, and finishing at the Titanic Hotel Belfast on Sunday. Organisers hope to raise tens of thousands of euro for Ireland's only dedicated children's ambulance service. Bumbleance was selected as the charity partner for the much-anticipated super car rally The Bear Run 74. Now in its fourth year, The Bear Run 74 showcases some of the world's most iconic and luxurious cars – all in support of a great cause. A spokesperson said: 'Bumbleance makes a difference by empowering the thousands of families who are unable to access their child's healthcare. It provides nationwide medical journeys in a safe, caring, and fun environment, completely free of charge.' He added: 'Bumbleance travelled over 600,000km across 2,389 trips last year, which was a 21% increase from the previous year. However, rising demand meant that unfortunately 348 trips could not be fulfilled due to limited resources. Fundraisers like The Bear Run 74 are essential to ensuring no child is left without access to the medical care they need.' The Bear Run 74 founder Keith Gamble said: 'The Bear Run 74 was set up in memory of my late father who passed away at the age of 74 to cancer. We have raised €153,636 for charity to date.'
