Christina Ricci Just Called Out Jimmy Fallon For Having MMA Fighter Conor McGregor On His Show—And Fans Are Applauding
In November 2024, an Irish High Court ruled in a civil case that he had assaulted and raped a woman in 2018, ordering him to pay over €248,000 in damages. In December 2024, he was ordered to pay the victim's legal costs, amounting to approximately €1,500,000. McGregor subsequently lost an appeal against the civil judgment.
Ricci, like many others, is asking why NBC and Fallon would give such a perpetually violent offender a platform.
On her Instagram story, Ricci shared a post from user mushroom.marauder that gave graphic details revealed during the civil trial against McGregor.
It then asked:
"Why the absolute f*ck is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon's show?"
"Shame on you Jimmy."

The caption on the original Instagram post by mushroom.marauder added:
"We need to stop pretending like rape is OK. Men. What the f*ck are we doing here."
Ricci was far from alone in her sentiments regarding the choice by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to book a violent offender like McGregor.

Many also called out Fallon personally over his congenial interview with the adjudicated rapist.

Neither The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon nor the host himself have officially responded to the backlash surrounding McGregor's recent appearance on the program.
Viewers are being urged to boycott both the program and the advertisers that sponsor the show.

DHS Hit With Blunt Reality Check After Tasteless 'Our Soil' Post About U.S. Men's World Cup Team
“Defend the Homeland. One Nation. One Homeland. One Team.”
The post also included the phrase “Our Soil” alongside a U.S. flag emoji, framing the team’s victory in explicitly nationalistic terms.
You can see it below.

Critics quickly seized on what they saw as a contradiction between the administration’s rhetoric and the composition of the U.S. team, pointing out that roughly a quarter of the squad was born outside the United States.
They also highlighted the case of striker Folarin Balogun, noting that under President Trump’s proposed move to end birthright citizenship, he would likely be ineligible for U.S. citizenship at all.
DHS' post comes as the country awaits a pivotal ruling from the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule by late June in Trump v. Barbara, a case challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship.
The case centers on the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which has long been interpreted to grant citizenship to anyone born in the United States—aside from a narrow exception for children of foreign diplomats. Trump has argued that this interpretation is unique to the U.S., though data from the CIA World Factbook shows roughly 30 countries also recognize birthright citizenship.
DHS, meanwhile, continues its widespread immigration crackdown and ICE agents continue to commit human rights abuses against citizens and non-citizens alike.
As recently as April, the White House was criticized for sharing an image to rebrand ICE agents as "NICE" agents, including a poster of an agent kneeling next to a child that has been condemned as blatant propaganda.
Trump Slammed After He Threatens To Sue ABC News For Their Reporting On Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandalism
To make matters worse, paint has reportedly begun peeling from the floor of the Reflecting Pool. The New York Times linked the problem to a separate $14.7 million no-bid contract awarded to Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings under a claim of urgent need.
The company was hired to apply a blue waterproof coating to the pool's concrete floor, but the coating has since shown signs of deterioration, raising further questions about the emergency contracting process and the quality of the work performed.
Trump has gone so far as to claim that "vandals" used "probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind" to make a "slit" in the pool's paint job, though he did not provide any proof to back this up.
After ABC News reported Monday that Trump continued to blame vandals for the peeling paint and other problems at the Reflecting Pool, while noting that he "provided no evidence of vandalism himself," he took to Truth Social to attack the network:
"In describing the Vandalism that took place at the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., ABC FAKE NEWS, one of the worst in the business, even paying me $16,000,000 for past bad and inaccurate reporting, failed to report that their close 'friends,' Dumocrats Obama and Biden, spent over 100 Million Dollars on the Reflecting Pool, and it never worked."
"In fact, it was rarely open do to leaks and 'stench.' They wanted to spend 300 to 400 Million Dollars, but just let it ROT. I spent approximately 16 Million Dollars, and it came out great, except for the Vandalism, which we are now fixing. It was also a much bigger job than originally envisioned, including the outer areas and sidewalks."
"We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting. I like their money, which will be given to the U.S. Treasury!"
You can see his post below.

Trump's post came hours after he claimed in remarks to White House correspondents gathered in the Oval Office that former President "Barack Hussein Obama spent over two years and $100 million on trying to fix" the Reflecting Pool. Trump claimed Obama took "water from the river" described as "putrid" that "destroyed the whole thing."
After defending his administration's work on the Reflecting Pool, he said he "can't help it if somebody goes in with a knife and starts hacking it up." He claimed evidence would be presented "in court" and that reporters should simply reach out to the Parks Department to find out more.
Trump was harshly criticized following his outburst.
Trump's hostility toward ABC News is well documented.
The network agreed to pay him $15 million, along with an additional $1 million in legal fees, to settle a defamation lawsuit stemming from comments made by George Stephanopoulos regarding E. Jean Carroll.
Trump also singled out ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl in April over his book, Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America. During his criticism, Trump once again branded ABC as "fake news" and boasted about the settlement, mockingly referring to the case as the "Slopadopolus error."
Figures he'll act this way—don't expect to see any proof of this "vandalism" while Trump creates another distraction.
