Nikita Hand will share her story in a powerful memoir, which will chronicle her assault and her fight for justice in the following years.
Told entirely in her own words, this is a singular story of survival, truth-telling and unflinching personal bravery.
In it, Nikita reflects on the assault that changed her life, the failures she encountered in the search for justice, and the decision that ultimately shaped her future: to pursue a civil case against one of the world’s most high-profile athletes, Conor McGregor.
What followed is a story marked by fear, resilience and extraordinary personal courage, as she found herself thrust into the public spotlight, prey to a toxic online culture, and ultimately facing four punishing days on the witness stand, laying out the truth of her experience in full.

Speaking about the memoir, Nikita said: “My book is about telling my story in my own words, finding my voice and taking back my power. My hope is that it helps victims and survivors find the courage to use their voices and not be afraid to come forward.
“I want them to take comfort from my story, knowing that there can be light at the end of the tunnel. Silence protects the perpetrator and money or power can’t be used as weapons against us. I hope my book can help change the stigma around the idea of the perfect victim – to let people know that, no matter who you are or where you come from, your voice and your story matter.”
Not the Perfect Victim by Nikita Hand with Kathryn Rogers will be published on the 22nd September 2026
