Conor McGregor Faces Backlash: Whiskey Pulled Amid Sexual Assault Verdict
TL;DR Summary
Conor McGregor has been removed as the face of Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey following a High Court jury's finding that he was liable for a 2018 sexual assault, resulting in a $250,000 damages payment. Proximo Spirits, the brand's owner, announced they will no longer use McGregor's likeness in marketing. Major Irish retailers, including Tesco and SuperValu, have pulled McGregor's alcohol products from their shelves, possibly influenced by the Rape Crisis Network Ireland's call to distance from McGregor.
