The unidentified woman attended the Miami Heat's Finals Game 4 in 2023. As reported by OutKick's Amber Harding Snyder, the woman accused McGregor of violently sexually assaulting her inside the men's restroom at Kaseya Center.
The Kaseya Center was sued for negligence after the staff arena did not intervene during the scene.

Footage obtained by TMZ after the allegations went public showed McGregor and his accuser together at a club minutes after the alleged rape. The video depicted the woman and McGregor shortly after the alleged sexual assault incident.
The woman's lawyer, Kris Dunn, sent a statement to ESPN regarding the new lawsuit.
"My client has thought long and hard about the decision to pursue this civil case, and is fearful of the effect it may have on her job on Wall Street.
"Nonetheless, her main goal in filing this suit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault."
