Andrew Tate ‘raped and strangled us’ - women tell BBC

Two women who say they were raped and strangled by the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate have spoken to the BBC about their experiences.

Another woman has alleged, for the first time, she was raped by Mr Tate’s younger brother, Tristan - also an influencer with millions of followers.

The Tate brothers, aged 37 and 36, currently face charges in Romania of human trafficking and forming an organised group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also charged with rape.

If found guilty, the two men could be jailed for more than 10 years. They strongly deny the charges against them.

I hate Andrew Tate, but accusations against “high profile” people shouldn’t just be taken as proof. Otherwise people can get silenced by paying a few women to make such accusations.

I hope the truth comes to light, and a good sentence is given if deemed guilty.

ayyy , (edited )

The difference is that if a few women accused me of rape they wouldn’t be believed because I don’t give off the impression that I’m a piece of shit that hates women.

When a shitload of women accuse Tate however, the response is correctly “yea that checks out”.

x00za ,

Ah yes the “he looks like a criminal” card. Great.

This is the third woman, so it most likely will be true. But we don’t have all the facts.

Eatspancakes84 ,

This is not about his looks, but about the misogynistic content he creates. If you are accused of rape, and you openly talk about coercing women into sexual acts I’d say that it checks out.

addictedtochaos ,

thats why they are STILL not sentenced.

accusations against “high profile” people shouldn’t just be taken as proof

Yeah. I find it highly suspicious that a guy who got famous for being the loudest misogynist on YouTube would be accused of practicing what he preaches. This would be like if someone accused Mike Tyson of hitting him. Or Tucker Carlson of lying. Or Ben Affleck cheating on his wife. Or OJ Simpson of committing a murder.

You have to take this shit with a huge boulder of salt, because… come on. What are the odds?

I hope the truth comes to light

Hearts out to all those possibly wrongfully accused rapists and sex traffickers. Andrew Tate, Harvey Weinstein, Neil Gaiman, Ron Jeremy. Really hope we can clear aside the dozens and dozens of testimonials from people accusing them of wrongdoing and find a piece of evidence I won’t casually dismiss.

Srh ,

You can use circumstantial evidence to know this guy is guilty. The classes he sold about pimping. Him fleeing to Romania because as he said it’s harder to get convicted of sex trafficking. The previous reports on him by other women.

I hate that I even know who this disgusting asshole is.

I hate that so many teenage boys are fans of him.

phoenixz ,

Yeah, that pert is theuch bigger problem, kids actually look up to him.

My step children’s real father is a big fan of Tate and keeps telling them how awesome he is and how they should follow nhik in his footsteps.

Thankfully, the kids think he’s a loser who abuses women.

There are so few good male role models for teenage boys. I would have said John Cena at one point, but he’s decided to shill for the CCP, so not him either. I honestly don’t know who teenage boys can turn to at this point.

Bytemeister ,

Maybe young men should build a role-model construct of good qualities they see rather than idolize a single patriarchal figure and seek to emulate them, including their flaws.

Speaking as someone who was fortunate to have a decent dad, and a decent step dad, who were radically different.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Plenty of kids do not have decent male role models in their life though. That’s part of the problem. So they turn to the internet and find people like Tate.

Bytemeister ,

I really have no idea how we fix that on the internet. I guess volunteer for big brothers/big sisters if you can.

Why so many actors?

TrousersMcPants ,

Actors are generally the most well known celebrities

JustAnotherRando ,

Hank and John Green are pretty good role models, I’d say.

barsoap , (edited )

How many of those are talking about how to, bluntly put, score gals and become a man you yourself respect. “Is famous, male, and not an asshole” doesn’t really suffice as credentials, here.

AidsKitty ,

Is there any evidence or at this point are there only accusations?

Why haven’t these two anal cysts been tried yet? JUST GET ON WITH IT AND THROW THEM IN PRISON. I know that it takes time to put together a solid case, but damn.

gwen ,

they’re rich lmao

phoenixz ,

Yeah not really either. Remember that these are lying assholes and a lot of the riches he was showing off was rented just to make people think they were uber rich

Fedizen ,

they’re rich AND a lot of people who should be arresting and prosecuting him have likely committed sex crimes themselves.

Fedizen ,

people forget it took 10+ years to put epstein in jail

@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

People like me lol. Oh well.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

And look at all of his clients now in jail.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

He was arrested, tried, convicted, and then released by one of Trump’s USAs only to get arrested and tried again decade later. Incidentally, Bill Gates got on a plane with Epstein in 2014, five years after his original conviction. I’m convinced the only reason Epstein eventually got put to a permanent end is that he ran out of money.

There really is no end to the amount of bullshit rich people can get away with.

I know little about Romanian law, but due process generally means cases like this move very slowly.

It’s pretty pathetic that an “alpha male” cannot pull a girl.

tabris ,

It’s because they’re alpha version. They haven’t gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They’re only alpha.

x00za ,

I have been released as “stable” yet am very unstable. Can I hold my PM accountable?

"controversial"

I always wondered who would be influenced by such people, I’ve realized it would be controversial massive cunts.

I think the vast majority of his haters are from bitter.

Edit: fuck knows what I was trying to say here.

Hmm I can see a pattern emerging here

    Especially the extreme religious ones.

    This guy becoming Muslim was just a publicity stunt

    pandapoo , (edited )

    Calling him Jeffrey Epstein is like calling Putin, Hitler.

    Yes, they’re all horrible people who’ve done evil shit, but the scale of their evil is worlds apart.

    Epstein ran an international cabal of underage sex trafficking that serviced the global elites, for money, political influence, and blackmail purposes.

    This dipshit locked girls in his apartment, sold alpha male grindset webinars, and had a wizard in his crew.

    But, if we’re being honest, Tate is probably a few IQ points higher than Epstein, who was a bonafide moron. I’m not saying Tate’s bright, I’m saying Epstein was really dumb.

    Still, the leagues they played in were stratospheres apart.

    That doesn’t sound very consensual to me
