The self-proclaimed “TikTok Influencer” Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania for human trafficking and sexual assault. He was also charged for being a part of an organized crime group.
For those who do not know who Andrew Tate is, the simple way to describe him is that he enjoys tearing down women; he feels that a woman is a man's property, and they belong in the house. He also expresses himself in ways that no one wants to see. He has gained popularity for his misogynistic views and because he is a four-time kickboxing champion.
He rose to fame after he was removed from the British version of reality TV show Big Brother in 2016, following the release of a video that appeared to show him attacking a woman. In an interview with another YouTuber, he said he was "absolutely a misogynist." He then added: "I'm a realist and when you're a realist, you're sexist. There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist." In that same video, he described women as "intrinsically lazy," and said there was "no such thing as an independent female."
There is a lot of controversy about the whole topic of Andrew Tate. There are many people who are against everything that he believes in, while there are also others who agree with the things that he talks about. With the mass of people who know who Andrew Tate is, and what he stands for, there is a group of misogynistic people who are willing to fight to the end of the earth to defend his accusations. They feel as though he was wrongfully convicted of the crimes he is being accused of committing.
Andrew Tate was arrested alongside his brother Tristan, and they have been under investigation since April with two Romanian nationals. The authorities said they were investigating whether the suspects created a criminal group in 2021 to engage in human trafficking in Romania, the United States, and Britain.
According to other news articles that have also spoken about this topic, they have received information that Andrew is not doing well in prison. He wrote a message to his followers, and in the message entitled “My first email from imprisonment,” where he wrote, “They are trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell without light. Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night.”
As of right now, this is all of the information that is available to the public. Further information will be provided as this case progresses.
