Colt Johnson: My Divorce is Settled and Larissa Lima Gets …

Earlier this week, we reported that Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson ended their divorce battle with a surprising out-of-court settlement. Coltee’s attorney has issued a statement about this surprisingly amicable resolution. Larissa, in the mean time, had something very different to say. Colt Johnson’s attorney issued a statement to Us Weekly , confirming that the two bitter exes have reached a divorce settlement. “Colt Johnson and Larissa dos Santos Lima have come to settlement terms in their divorce,” the statement begins. “Through their respective attorneys,” Colt’s lawyer states. “They have agreed to settle the case amicably.” This might be their first truly amicable moment in a long, long time. The attorney adds: “with both parties bearing their own fees and costs.” It is unclear if any of the property or money of Larissa’s that Colt and Debbie allegedly kept was returned, or if she has simply written it off. Being Colt Johnson’s attorney, he shared his insight upon his client’s state of mind. “Colt is very pleased that the matter is resolved,” the statement reveals. That makes sense, given that it was Colt who was on the hook. The attorney continues: “and that both parties can move on with their lives.” Larissa had been asking for an equal share of their home’s furnishings, of their shared bank accounts. She was also seeking $1,000 a month in spousal support. “Given the short duration of the marriage,” Colt’s attorney says. Notably, the couple married in June of 2018 and separated (and filed for divorce) in January of 2019. That’s about seven months of a very troubled marriage. “And” the statement continues. “With there being no property matters or custody considerations.” They thankfully had no children together, and apparently made no major purchases together. “The matter should have, and has, settled early in the proceedings,” he opines. “The attorneys are preparing the Stipulated Decree to submit to the Court,” Colt’s attorney reveals. “Which,” he notes. “Will be signed and entered.” There is good news for nosy 90 Day Fiance fans (like ourselves)! If there’s anything interesting in their divorce settlement, it looks like we will all get to see it. The attorney states: “and will then be a matter of public record.” “Colt wishes Larissa the best in her future endeavors,” the statement concludes. Also this week, Larissa marked a major milestone for her fans and followers on Instagram. “Yesterday was one year of my arrival in the United States,” Larissa writes, noting the anniversary. Larissa is the first to admit that she has “learned a lot in the past one year.” She even acknowledges that she “made mistakes.” All jokes aside, even Larissa’s most diehard fans know that marrying Colt was not her only use of poor judgment last year. “But in the end,” Larissa writes. “I’m just grateful for everything.” Though she has previously expressed (at her divorce party, no less) that she regrets having done the show, she also has fond memories. “90 day fiance was a great experience,” Larissa admits. A huge part of what made it positive was her fans. “I love that I connect with people that always support me,” she writes. Larissa says: “They know how much I care.” “I never forgot that my ‘dream’ was juts do to CVS and buy Maybelline or visit Walmart,” Larissa shares. Some folks have humble dreams, or simply odd personal goals when it comes to international travel. “Well,” Larissa writes. “Now my dream is a biggie house with a pool.” Like the one that she had hoped that Colt would have. “Thankfully,” Larissa concludes. “I’ll get it with my own strength.” That is a commendable and positive attitude. She has undergone a tremendous amount of personal growth. View Slideshow: Larissa Lima Assault Trial: 90 Day Fiance BANNED From Courtroom!

Sophia Hutchins: Caitlyn Jenner is an Amazing, Loving Partner!!

Rumor after rumor has claimed that Caitlyn Jenner and Sophia Hutchins are planning to marry . The reality is that neither of these gal pals have actually come forward to confirm that they’re officially dating. But now, Sophia is speaking openly of her “amazing, loving partner.” Take a look: Sophia Hutchins celebrated her birthday with Caitlyn and a horde of other guests. (She is 23 years old) She has the photos to prove it, which she uploaded to social media. “I have chosen to be very intentional about the people I surround myself with,” Sophia’s caption begins. She then advises her fans and followers to “surround yourself with those that inspire.” Sophia then rattles off a laundry list of desirable acquaintances. She suggests that people surround themselves with “those that are beautiful.” “Those that are genuine,” she adds. “Those that empower you.” “And,” Sophia notes. “Those that choose love.” She then expresses: “I am so lucky to have the friends, team, and amazing loving partner I have.” After making what many have read as a confirmation, she continues. “I cannot wait to share this year with all of these people,” Sophia writes. She adds: “and so many more that wouldn’t fit in this collage!” “Thanks for making my bday so special!” Sophia concludes. Caitlyn had a photo of her own to share on social media: “Happy Birthday to my little Sophia!” Cait captions the picture. She writes: “It was a great night last night.” “So few candles,” Cait observes. Is that more of a brag on Sophia for her youth, or on herself for snagging such a young … gal pal? Sophia replies: “Thank you babe.” As you can see for yourself, Sophia’s response includes a double-heart emoji often (but not exclusively) used by couples. So, is Caitlyn the “amazing, loving partner” to whom Sophia refers? Many people read her message as saying exactly that. The two have lived and traveled together for years. Lots of people have rooming situations that are purely platonic, but Cait is a millionaire. She doesn’t need help with rent or hotel prices. Why is this no-name declaration of love the closest that the two have come to confirming that they are in a relationship? That is anyone’s guess. Obviously, even though Cait is a public figure, she is not obligated to share any more of her personal life than she chooses. Some believe that she and Sophia want to live out in the open without the seriousness of confirming anything. But … others suggest another explanation. Caitlyn Jenner is a political conservative, even though she finally admitted that Trump sucks . Sophia is also noted for her conservative views, and said that she felt that Cait coming out as transgender helped her feel comfortable transitioning. When Sophia spoke about that, it was clear that she had been concerned about the image of trans folks and the LGBTQ+ community as being liberal. Caitlyn has received a great deal of backlash for espousing conservative views that are at odds with most within the trans community. Are Cait and Sophia hoping to avoid moving further into the spotlight as an alleged LGBTQ+ couple? Or maybe they are just taking things slowly and valuing a small degree of privacy.

Lauren Conrad: Pregnant with Baby #2!

As tragically reported in the past, Lauren Conrad will not be taking part in  The Hills: New Beginnings . She’s chosen to distance herself from the upcoming reality show revival. Ironically, however, the beloved former lead cast member of just the plain old The Hills is about to embark on a brand new beginning in her personal life. Which is a roundabout way of saying the following: Lauren Conrad is pregnant with her second child! The gorgeous The Hills alum made the exciting announcement on Instagram today, sharing a side photo of her baby bump under a floral-patterned dress and writing as a very straightforward caption: It’s been hard to keep this one to myself! Very excited to share that our family will be getting a little bigger this year. Check out the baby bump image here: Conrad and husband William Tell welcomed their first child, a son named Liam James, on July 5, 2017. This blessed event took place after the co-founder of The Little Market and her lawyer love got married in a September 2014 sunset ceremony at a boutique winery. A decade before this ceremony, an 18-year-old Conrad sky-rocketed to prominence after being cast on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which documented her and her friends’ lives in their hometown of Laguna Beach, California. This series was then spunoff to create The Hills two years later. Conrad pursued a career in the fashion industry on The Hills, while also feuding often with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. But while those two ex-reality stars haven’t managed to find much happiness outside of the spotlight ever since The Hills went off the air, Conrad has very clearly moved on from her MTV life. Conrad has remained mostly on the sidelines of any real celebrity gossip over the past several years, content to build her own business and spend time with her family. Hence, her decision not to participate in this summer’s The Hills reboot. Heck, Conrad didn’t even take the bait when someone named Justin-Bobby Brescia hurled shade in her direction shortly after The Hills reboot cast was announced. “When you’ve got sh-tty people running around, it creates this ambiance you don’t need,” he said last August, clearly referencing Conrd and her absence from the new series. But Conrad didn’t see a need to respond. However, she did announce recently that we’ll be hearing plenty from her in the future — in podcast form! The pregnant star announced last week that she’ll soon be hosting “Lauren Conrad Is Asking For a Friend,” telling Us Weekly that the podcast will be all “about finding the balance” in working and parenting. “You don’t want to miss anything, but at the same time, you want to teach them to work hard,” she said. We wish her the best on baby number-two! View Slideshow: The Hills Reboot: It’s Happening!! Who’s In? Who’s Out?

Jeremy Roloff Admits to Porn Addiction, Near-Destruction of Marriage

Jeremy Roloff and Audrey Roloff may seem like one of the happiest famous couples out there. But each writes in the couple’s brand new book about past troubles in their marriage. And not just basic, harmless troubles, either — we’re talking soul-altering sins that caused both Jeremy and Audrey to question their values, their morals and the overwhelming desires present in their private parts. We’re not really kidding. First, as previously outlined, Audrey wrote openly in “A Love Letter Life,” the tandem’s memoir that just went on sale today, about how she and Jeremy engaged in some naked behavior prior to getting married. They didn’t have sex, no. But they did engage in some impure actions that involved a bathing suit . Naughty, right? Yes, if you are a devoted Catholic, as Jeremy and Audrey have often claimed to be and have often written and talked about with their social media followers. Now, the former Little People, Big World cast member is here to delve into his own shame; to explain to readers that he isn’t the wholesome and clean-cut husband he’s maybe always come across as on television or on Instagram. Jeremy, too, has sinned. When he first started dating Audrey, Roloff writes in this book that he was “failing behind the computer screen,” explaining in more detail: “I had wandering eyes when it came to risqué images and social media profiles I had no business looking at.” In other words: Jeremy liked porn. However, Roloff somehow argues here that he wasn’t into porn in the traditional sense. That is, the naked sense. “I know many men who excuse their porn habit because there is no nudity,” says Jeremy. “But the sin of porn can happen in the mind with or without articles of clothing, no matter whether it’s on an Instagram feed or an explicit website.” Ummm… okay then? We’re not entirely sure how porn can “happen in the mind,” unless Jeremy simply means here that he used to picture women naked in his head. This is also known simply as being a male . But Jeremy was ashamed of the behavior. The father of one says in the memoir that about once a month, he would become “lazy, bored or stressed,” and scroll naughty websites. “I realized I was a hypocrite,” he admits. “I said I believed one thing but acted out another in secret, and I was breaking down, whether or not I recognized it.” To be clear, Jeremy wasn’t acting out any lewd fantasies or actively doing anything untoward… unless you consider perusing some websites to fall into this category. Which Jeremy evidently does. After kicking the habit for a bit, Roloff tells readers he grew stressed as a result of his 2014 wedding — and got bitten once again by the adult entertainment bug. “The parasitical sin had not vanished,” he actually writes. At this point, he sought help in his local Bent, Oregon church group. “It was here that I found a pastor who wouldn’t stand for unrepented, habitual sin,” says Jeremy, adding: “He called me out and set me straight as he explained the Biblical truths about someone who refuses to turn from sin and walk in righteousness.” Jeremy also opened up at last to Audrey. He told her everything. And it nearly ended their relationship. “When I saw the look of betrayal in her eyes, I felt mournfully sorry. Tears ran down her beautiful face. ‘Why Jer?’ she asked. ‘Why?’” he recalls in the book. (NOTE: Perhaps this explains why Audrey once posed nude in a bathtub ; to give her husband something to ogle at without feeling guilty.) Thankfully, The couple worked through their issues and later welcomed daughter Ember in 2017. But the end was nigh there for a little bit. “Audrey was devastated. My behavior had fractured our trust, scarred our intimacy, and broken our unity,” he writes. These days, Jeremy isn’t touching the keys on his computer screen any longer in an attempt to look for sexy women. But he is still touching his wife when the pair can squeeze it in , that’s been made known! View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: Why They REALLY Quit Little People, Big World

Kailyn Lowry: I am DONE with Chris Lopez, He Hurt Me SO MUCH!

So it's not exactly a secret that Kailyn Lowry doesn't have the best relationship with Chris Lopez. Quite the opposite, really. Kailyn and Chris have had a troubled relationship for basically the whole entire length of their relationship, and we've heard sordid detail after sordid detail about just how troubled things were. They did get back together for a bit recently, but apparently that's over again. And now in a new interview, Kailyn is telling everyone just how done she is. 1. The Beginning Kailyn has known Chris for a while now. They went to college together, and she got pregnant with Lux towards the end of 2016, so, you know, they’ve at least been friendly since then. 2. Mysterious! We don’t know too much about Chris since he’s always refused to be on Teen Mom 2, but from what we understand, it was never like they were in a normal relationship. 3. Uh Oh Kailyn has said that Chris was dating another woman while she was pregnant with Lux, and we saw him blow off doctor appointments, and pretty much her in general, until the baby was born. 4. At Least There’s This He did show up for the birth, and he drove Kailyn and Lux home from the hospital, but then things got bad again. 5. Yikes In her last book, Kail claimed that when Lux was a newborn, “I’ve had my bedroom window broken while the baby was asleep with me in the room. My backdoor had been broken while all of my kids were at home.” 6. Bad Times She also wrote that there was a period of time in here where she and Chris didn’t even talk to each other for eight months. View Slideshow

Lady Gaga Dumped Christian Carino Because He Texted Too Much

Lady Gaga has maintained a rather stoic poker face ever since ending her engagement to Christian Carino . The singer broke up with her fiance about a month ago, but has not said a word about the split in public and has not revealed the reason why she never made it down the aisle with Carino. We may now have the answer, however. According to the new issue of Us Weekly, there was no cheating on either side. There was nothing especially salacious or sordid at all, in fact. Simply put, an insider tells this tabloid: “ Chris didn’t treat Gaga very well toward the end of their [two-year] relationship.” This same source says that the artist there “really leaned on” actor and close friend Jeremy Renner “in the weeks after it ended,” although this relationship never turned romantic. A second source also spoke to Us Weekly and confirmed that “Gaga was the one who broke things off” with the talent agent. “He was jealous,” this insider explains. “He was trying to find her all the time and texted her a lot. Her friends didn’t like him either.” Sounds sort of like most of our relationships in high school, you know?!? Gaga has been spending a ton of time ever since this break-up with Renner, sparking the aforementioned rumors of a romance between these superstars. As we’re sure you’re also aware, Gaga has also been linked to Bradley Cooper, her co-star in the wildly overrated film A Star is Born. Many people out there simply can’t comprehend the chemistry between Cooper and Gaga unless the two have been boning ever since they shot this terrible movie. The chatter over Cooper and Gaga only grew more intense after they performed the smash hit single “Shallow” on stage at the 2019 Academy Awards. There’s no way these two could look at each other that way without being in love, right?!? Wrong, Cooper and Gaga have insited. “They both find the relationship rumors funny,” Hollywood Life previously wrote, adding: “Both Gaga and Bradley Cooper find it sweet and laughable at the same time that fans are saying they will get married someday, especially since Gaga announced the end of her engagement this week.” Truth is, all this talk is really just a compliment to Gaga’s acting skills, which were the only positive takeaway from A Star is Born. Seriously, the should have been a Lifetime Movie of the Week. It was so lame and cliche-filled and predictable. But anyway: Shallow is a great song! Watch the performance here: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Sing “Shallow,” Get All of America Pregnant

Beth Chapman: I Don’t Care If I’m Dying! I’m Still Fighting Crime!

Earlier this year, Beth Chapman revealed her new wig — a symbol of her fight for her life against cancer. The Dog The Bounty Hunter star and wife of the man himself beat cancer once, but her odds are not considered very good right now. In a new interview, her husband reveals that she has a plan to spend the rest of her life working by his side. In a tearful interview with DailyMailTV , Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman explains how the love of his life is preparing to die. “She has told me repeatedly,” Chapman reveals. “That if these are her last days on earth she wants to spend every moment with me.” He adds that she wants to spend those days “on the hunt.” That is, in pursuit of fugitives. Beth wants to spend her time “living life to the fullest.” “And,” Chapman adds. “Enjoying the time we have left together.” “The best part of my job,” Chapman says. “Is having her by my side on every journey.” Of course. “I can’t imagine a day without her,” he confesses. That is so heartbreaking. “And,” he continues. “Think deep down inside she is always concerned for my safety.” Chapman explains that Beth has these concerns “because she wants the security of knowing I come home to her every night.” “If this were me,” Chapman confesses, speaking of how he would act if he had cancer. “I would be a big sissy.” By context, it is clear that he does not mean that term in a perjorative manner towards any group of people. “But,” he says proudly. “Not Beth.” Speaking of is wife, Chapman says: “She is still hitting the ground running with me.” “Beth is determined cancer won’t slow her down,” he praises. “In fact,” Chapman notes. “I am so amazed by Beth’s strength and positive attitude.” “My baby has cancer,” Chapman laments. But he once again praises her strength and resolve, adding: “and she is fighting like hell.” Chapman himself, despite his tough guy image, is unafraid to admit that this situation has him in real emotional distress. “I have cried a lot over this,” he confesses. Chapman explains that he is terrified of the worst “because Beth is my everything.” “Despite all of the obstacles I have overcome,” Chapman expresses. “This is by far the biggest test of my life.” “And mark my words,” he vows. “I will not let her die.” “She is my rock and my bodyguard,” Chapman says, heaping further praises upon his wife. He concludes by vowing: “I will do everything I can to keep her here.” While we can all hope for the best, we know that sometimes, everything you can isn’t enough to change things. It doesn’t matter you may think of the Chapmans as people or of the archaic laws that still allow bounty hunting. This isn’t about their job or their controversies or politics. This is about Beth’s life. At present, doctors say that she has about a 50% chance of survival against the throat cancer that returned last year. We wish her a full recovery and we hope that she goes into remission sooner rather than later. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer

Paul McCartney is Stunned Michael Jackson Was Probably a Child Molester

Paul McCartney is the latest musical icon to talk openly about Michael Jackson. Specifically, of course, Paul McCartney is the latest musical icon to talk openly about the strong likelyhood that Michael Jackson was almost a serial child molestor. Such accusations against Jackson are not new. But they’ve been brought to the forefront of late and emphasized in the most personal and heinous of ways by the documentary Leaving Neverland . It aired on HBO last month and centered on James Safechuck and Wade Robson, two men who claim the superstar abused them while they were young boys during the 1980s and 1990s. The film includes interviews with its subjects, along with harrowing details of their alleged ordeal and relationship with Jackson. It appears to have convinced many previous doubters that Jackson truly was guilty of these awful crimes and misdeeds. McCartney, the legendary former member of The Beatles, hasn’t defended Jackson in his first comments since the movie aired. But he has expressed legitimate shock over what the documentary depicts and concludes. “I think it’s sad,” McCartney told Radio Futuro in Chile, where he has been performing. “Obviously Michael was a great singer, a great artist and a great dancer. For years we’ve loved that. Nobody knew about the other side that’s shown in that movie,” the artist added. That’s not really true, of course. Jackson was taken to court (and acquitted) in 2005 on similar charges of molestation, whilc (reliable) talk about these kinds of actions following the singer around until his death in June of 2009. “When I knew him he was a really nice guy. I didn’t know about the dark side,” McCartney continues in this interview, adding: “It makes it very difficult to look back on the memories which were good memories, to think, oh boy, there was other stuff going on.” Jackson covered McCartney’s song “Girlfriend” on his “Off the Wall” album in 1979. The pair also recorded “The Girl Is Mine” together, along with “Say Say Say.” They were pretty close many decades ago, which is why it’s so hard for McCartney to accept the probable truth about Jackson. “For me, I’m okay to just stay with the personal memories I had of him. The other side is the other side. I don’t know about that,” McCartney said, concluding: “I can understand why people are very disappointed in him and angry that he had the dark side.” The other music Hall of Famers who have spoken out about Jackson have stuck their foot far deeper into their mouths than McCartney does here. In a truly stunning and nauseating statement, Barbara Streisand recently said of The King of Pop : “His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has. You can say ‘molested’, but those children, as you heard say [the grown-up Robson and Safechuck], they were thrilled to be there.” YIKES, right? She even added: “They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.” Ummm… so we guess the well-orchestrated molestation was okay then, Babs? The singer/actress eventually apologized for these wildly tone deaf remarks, saying on Instagram: I am profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused by not choosing my words more carefully about Michael Jackson and his victims, because the words as printed do not reflect my true feelings. I didn’t mean to dismiss the trauma these boys experienced in any way. Like all survivors of sexual assault, they will have to carry this for the rest of their lives. I feel deep remorse and I hope that James and Wade know that I truly respect and admire them for speaking their truth. Diana Ross, however, is apparently standing by her words. The Supremes singer referred to Jackson a “magnificent incredible force” and asked his accusers to ” stop in the name of love ” in an impassioned, disgusting Tweet last week. “This is what’s on my heart this morning. I believe and trust that Michael Jackson was and is A magnificent incredible force to me and to many other.” Ross concluded the messages by quoting one of The Supremes most famous hits, writing: “STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE.” She was famously quite tight with Jackson, which is why we’d like to amend this conclusion and address Ross as follows: STOP BEING TERRIBLE AND INSENSITIVE AND TOTALLY BLIND TO WHAT JACKSONW WAS IN THE NAME OF FRIENDSHIP.

Sophie Turner: I Love a Person’s Soul, Not Their Gender

Whether she’s discussing her engagement to Joe Jonas or telling Piers Morgan to shut up forever , Sophie Turner is a delight. She and her bestie, Game of Thrones costar, made the cover of Rolling Stone and discussed every topic under the sun. Sophie caught the most attention when she mentioned men and women, and how her attraction is based upon the soul, not a person’s gender. Appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone , Sophie Turner is making headlines over her statements about attraction and gender. “Everyone experiments,” Sophie observes. She characterizes that “It’s part of growing up.” With respect to her own personal history, she explains why gender has never been a barrier for her, but a detail. “I love a soul,” Sophie reveals. “Not a gender.” Sophie also spoke about how her friendship with her castmate, Maisie Williams, blossomed. She says that it all started when the two of them sat down for a chemistry read, way back in 2009. “We were pretty much best friends from that second on,” Sophie shares. The two play sisters, Sansa and Arya Stark, on Game of Thrones . Interestingly, both have gone on to play mutants in X-Men films. Sophie of course is a young Jean Grey, while Maisie plays Rahne Sinclair in New Mutants … whenever that actually gets released. In the past, Sophie has joked that she “has an addiction to Maisie.” She even shared that the pair used their friendship and chemistry to play a bit of a prank on the cast and crew. Sophie admitted that she used to “to sneak a kiss into every scene we did together. She is only two years Maisie’s senior, but they do play sisters. Sophie shares that the goal was “to freak everyone out a bit.” As the world learned a year and a half ago, Sophie Turner is engaged to Joe Jonas. But she says that she didn’t always expect to end up with him — or with anyone. Sophie admits that she was “fully preparing myself to be single for the rest of my life.” Plenty of people are very happily single for life, but that, she learned, was not her destiny. “I think once you’ve found the right person, you just know,” Sophie explains. (You’re welcome for sharing one of the best tweets to ever be tweeted) “I feel like I’m much older a soul than I am in age,” Sophie says. Sophie just turned 23 last month, but it seems that she gave this interview before her birthday. She elaborates: “I’ve met enough guys to know — I’ve met enough girls to know.” “I don’t feel 22,” Sophie says. “I feel like 27, 28.” From a teen or minor, that kind of sentiment would set off alarm bells. From an adult, that sounds just fine. Obviously, everyone is very excited to hear that Sophie Turner implied that she had hooked up with or perhaps even dated other girls over the years. But remember that she did not actually confirm that — just imply it. Also remember that she did not adopt a label. What she describes matches, say, a bisexual or a pansexual. But people are free to choose or forego labels as they wish. We don’t get to thrust labels upon them. Congrats to Sophie Turner on her amazing career, her continuing engagement to a heartthrob, and her general excellence. View Slideshow: 35 Bisexual Celebrities

Conor McGregor Responds to Sexual Assault Allegations

On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor had been arrested for sexual assault. The news came shortly after McGregor announced that he would be retiring from the sport that made him famous. Many fans and media outlets concluded that the 30-year-old’s decision was a result of the ensuing scandal. Now, however, a representative for McGregor claims that the two developments are unrelated. And while she stopped just short of denying that McGregor had been arrested, she did refer to the report of his arrest as a “rumor” in her statement to ESPN. “This story has been circulating for some time and it is unclear why it is being reported now,” Karen Kessler told the network. “The assumption that the Conor retirement announcement today is related to this rumor is absolutely false.” Kessler declined to go into further detail regarding the allegations against McGregor. She did, however, state that he has not closed the door on further competition. “Should Conor fight in the future it must be in an environment where fighters are respected for their value, their skill, their hard work and their dedication to the sport,” she stated. The Times reports that McGregor was arrested in his native Ireland back in January. Dublin police have been tight-lipped with regard to details, but a statement from the department confirms that the alleged assault took place several weeks before McGregor’s rumored arrest: “[Police] are investigating an alleged sexual assault on a female which occurred in Dublin 2 in the early hours of this morning, Monday December 10th 2018,” a spokesperson said. “No arrests have been made and investigations are continuing.” McGregor announced his retirement with a characteristically irreverent tweet on Tuesday: “Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as ‘Mixed Martial Art’ today,” he wrote. “I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!” McGregor has a history of brushes with the law, including an assault arrest  stemming from an April 2018 incident in which he smashed the windows of a bus containing several rival fighters. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 23 Scandalous Sports Stories
