Sean O’Malley expressed his empathy with UFC president Dana White after he was caught in an altercation with his wife on New Year’s Eve.
On New Year’s Eve, while celebrating the end of 2022, White was involved in a back-and-forth altercation in a nightclub in Cabo with his wife, Anna. TMZ released the footage of the incident of White slapping Anna. White has since apologized for his “embarrassing” actions, and O’Malley truly thinks his boss is appalled by his actions.
Sean O’Malley Discusses Dana White and Wife Altercation
“This happened New Year’s and it came out Monday which is rare. TMZ s**t usually comes out instantly,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “They got good PR behind (them). He came out with an apology which I watched. I thought he said everything he needed to say but it seemed genuine. God, it’s hard with alcohol. There’s two things, alcohol and chicks don’t mix. You know what I mean.”
The situation has divided opinions in the mixed martial arts community. O’Malley believes White’s wife deserved to be slapped after instigating the attack first by hitting him. The bantamweight contender is under the impression people should treat people like they want to be treated, and Anne shouldn’t have listed her hands in the first place.
O’Malley Shares Empathy With White
“I feel bad for Dana. His wife slapped him. That is rude and it deserves a slapping back,” O’Malley said (when his brother said she did not deserve to get hit back). “I don’t know it’s a tricky one. It’s like, treat people how you want to be treated. I don’t think, sober, would he have done that? No. I would assume sober, no drinks, she slaps him, I don’t think his initial reaction is to slap back. When that alcohol’s flowing, I’ve never hit a girl, but I’ve been blacked out and I’ve done things that I can’t believe I’ve done. What if that was his like, f**k, he did and was like, I don’t know. I don’t think it was right. Obviously, you should not hit, especially a little girl like that. But alcohol is flowing, and she hit him first.”
