TMZ Sports has obtained video that shows Conor McGregor taking his rape accuser by the hand and leading her into a bathroom … where she says he sexually assaulted her.
The footage was shot inside the Kaseya Center in Miami at around midnight on June 10 … just after the Nuggets had beaten the Heat in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9.
In the video, you can see McGregor — wearing a black tee — leaving a restroom area to speak with a woman in a white shirt. After appearing to exchange words with the woman, Conor grabs her by her hand and makes a path for her to go with him inside of a bathroom.
A few seconds later — the restroom door shuts, without anyone else appearing to go inside. The footage then ends.
TMZ Sports broke the story … earlier this week the accuser’s lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, sent a demand letter claiming NBA and Miami Heat security “physically forced” the accuser into the restroom, where McGregor proceeded to rape her while security refused to let her exit or allow her friend to come into the bathroom with her.
However, the video does not appear to show anyone forcing her into the restroom with Conor (he is instead leading her by the hand), but three men who seem like security guards do assemble in front of the door in a manner that would prevent anyone from entering or exiting.
According to Mitchell … McGregor’s accuser and the UFC star had been partying together at a club inside of the NBA arena just minutes before our video was taken.
At one point during their nightclub celebration, Mitchell tells us her client took a selfie video with Conor.

Mitchell says, though, their partying was halted when McGregor said he had to use the restroom — but shortly after he got up, a man in a Denver Nuggets jersey walked up to her and told her, “Conor told me to come get you.”
“My client was under the belief they were leaving and going to the Four Seasons Hotel, as Conor had previously asked her to join him at his hotel room,” Mitchell said in a statement.
“The man with the braids then stopped at the door of the bathroom, when Conor grabbed my client (as seen in the video). My client believed they were leaving, but instead Conor took her into the restroom.”

Conor McGregor Accused Of Raping Woman At NBA Finals Game, He Denies Allegations
It’s alleged McGregor then sexually assaulted the woman.
“My client remembers having no less than six drinks that night and has admitted the parts she recalls,” Mitchell said. “My client did not even recall who led her into the restroom until seeing this video.”
McGregor has denied the accusations against him … with his reps saying in a statement on Thursday, “The allegations are false. Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.”
We reached out for further comment from McGregor regarding the new video, but have not heard back yet.
Cops, meanwhile, told TMZ Sports on Thursday … they have been investigating the allegations since June 11 — and a probe remains ongoing.
Conor McGregor reminded of himself by knocking out the Miami Heat mascot.
McGregor had been at the arena earlier in the night participating in some of the game’s entertainment — punching a mascot as part of a break-in-the-action skit.

New video shows McGregor was also partying in the venue’s nightclub with other patrons at halftime of the game as well … looking like he was having a great time with a drink in his hand.
Kanye West‘s longtime friend and confidant says Ye is happier than ever being married to Bianca Censori — so much so, in fact, he might be ready to be a papa all over again!
We got a member of Ye’s inner circle, Justin LaBoy, Tuesday at LAX … where we chopped it up about his buddy and Bianca for a little bit. We were wondering how the couple feels about her family being ticked off lately, but he spilled some other tea.
Remember, her father came out and said he didn’t appreciate his son-in-law parading his daughter around France in barely any clothing … this after several wild outfits she rocked.
You can tell Justin doesn’t wanna go there … saying he doesn’t like to speak on his buddy’s wife — but he does say he loves her, and can tell she’s perfect for his good pal.
The reason? Justin tells us he’s actually never seen Kanye happier than he is right now.
Justin also says Bianca’s enjoying herself too — clearly addressing the speculation from Kanye’s critics that he’s keeping her against her will, or brainwashing her.
Finally, we touch on something Ye himself is alluding to in recent songs — saying “another baby is my end goal” … which most listeners heard as a reference to Bianca.
Justin himself had some thoughts about that when we asked if Kanye was being serious — and according to him … he absolutely is. JLB says he thinks a “bunch of babies” are on the way for them.
Bianca’s only 29, so if she’s inclined to have kids … this could be prime baby-making time. As you know, Ye already has 4 children with Kim Kardashian.
Considering Ye and Bianca are going strong well over a year into their relationship … it might be Yeezy baby season after all!
Bam Margera got into a loud argument with his fiancée that was caught on camera, and while it looked and sounded like they were at each other’s throats … Bam says it actually stemmed out of love.
The former “Jackass” star was arguing with Dannii Marie last Thursday outside of a Nashville hotel — not long after he’d injured himself in a skate stunt that left him with a torn MCL and ACL.
In the video, obtained by TMZ, you can see Bam and Dannii shouting at each other — it’s a heated conversation, for sure, but Bam tells us all is well in their relationship.
He says the argument started after he stepped outside for a smoke break … we’re told Dannii apparently thought he was trying to sneak away to use hard drugs, as he has in the past.
Fact is, a lot of online trolls have speculated Bam might relapse after his injury if he were prescribed pain meds. We’re told Dannii found Bam outside in the alley, and confronted him about that very possibility thinking the worst, but he insists the only thing he lit up was a cig.
Long story short … Bam says Dannii was simply expressing concern for him, and he absolutely appreciates his woman looking out for his best interests. He credits her with keeping him on the straight and narrow with his sobriety.
Bam says he took a urine test that day to reassure Dannii he was clean, and he tells us he remains substance-free even to this day — marking 6 months of sobriety.
Now, Bam’s on the mend with Dannii by his side, and even if they argue about his addiction issues … he says they’re absolutely going strong as a couple.
Murray The Magician is walking the plank — the magic world’s version, anyway, as the famed Magic Castle suspends him for breaking a longstanding rule about revealing how to do tricks, but he says that rule’s gotta change.
Here’s the deal … Murray filmed a fun video he shared online, doing a bunch of different magic tricks for the camera only to have his sexy sidekick — his wife, Dani — burst his bubble and reveal the secret behind each trick.
Murray’s video racked up more than 50 million views on Facebook, and now Hollywood’s most famous and exclusive magic club, The Magic Castle, has suspended him.
The Academy of Magical Arts, the group that runs The Magic Castle, told Murray he’s suspended pending an investigation into complaints he violated their rules by exposing magic online.
In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the AMA tells Murray he’s no longer allowed to even enter the Magic Castle, where he’s been a member for decades and frequently performs.
Murray tells TMZ … the magic community needs to update these outdated rules because it’s 2024, and folks can go on the internet and learn magic tricks on their own.

Basically, Murray’s calling out the AMA for guarding an empty safe by punishing magicians who pull back the curtain. As he says, it’s not like he was sharing details behind David CopperfieldorCriss Angel‘s famous tricks, because everything in his viral video is available on Amazon for anyone to purchase and use.
Murray says the real issue here is his fame … he says the video wouldn’t be a problem if he was a birthday magician in Barstow, but because his video is racking up a bunch of views, suddenly the AMA has beef.
Bottom line for Murray … there’s no harm in exposing basic magic tricks because the art form is all about entertainment, and he feels that’s what he’s accomplishing here.
