Post-game events took a distressing turn as per the narrative laid out in Mitchell’s letters. The woman alleges that she was forcefully separated from her friend by arena security and pushed into a men’s restroom where McGregor and his security guard were waiting. She accuses McGregor of forcefully kissing her and attempting further assault.
However, the woman managed to defend herself, elbowing McGregor repeatedly, allowing her escape, leaving behind her purse in the process. Mitchell mentions that the woman recovered her purse only after pleading with McGregor’s security team.
