Emory Andrew Tate III (born 1 December 1986) is an American and British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. He gained notoriety for promoting various positions in the manosphere community.[4] His controversial commentary has resulted in his expulsion from various social media platforms and concern that he promotes misogynist views to his audience.[5] A divisive influencer,[6] Tate has amassed 9.9 million followers on X as of August 2024[7][8] and was the third-most googled person in 2023,[9] with most British adults aware of who he is.[10] He has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity",[11] has called himself a misogynist,[12] and is politically described as both right-wing[13] and far-right.[14] As of August 2024, Tate is facing five legal investigations—three criminal and two civil—in Romania and the United Kingdom.[15][16][17]
From 2005, Tate began his kickboxing career in England, winning several kickboxing titles in the late 2000s and early 2010s. In 2016, he appeared on the British reality series Big Brother, but was removed, as he was the suspect in an open rape investigation in the United Kingdom. The investigation was later dropped, but Tate was subject to an extradition request for rape charges in 2024.[18] After his kickboxing career, Tate and his brother, Tristan, began operating a webcam model business, then sold online courses. With his audience from his courses, he became prominent as an internet celebrity promoting a hyper-macho view of masculinity.[19][20][21] Tate's courses include Hustler's University, which gained 100,000 subscribers and was later relaunched as The Real World, and the secretive group named The War Room, which the BBC has accused of coercing women into sex work and teaching violence against women.[22] In August 2023, it was estimated that Tate's online ventures generated US$5 million in revenue monthly.[23]
In December 2022, Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania, along with two women. In June 2023, all four were charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. In July, two of their accusers reportedly went into hiding after a campaign of online harassment, and the Tate brothers filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming $5 million in damages against one of the accusers. In March 2024, British police obtained an arrest warrant for the Tate brothers as part of an investigation into rape and human trafficking. In July 2024, they began a civil case against the brothers and a third person for alleged tax evasion. In August, Romanian police raided four properties Tate owns and expanded its investigation to include trafficking minors, sex with a minor, money laundering and attempting to influence witnesses. Tate and his brother have denied all charges and allegations.
Early life
Emory Andrew Tate III was born on 1 December 1986[24][25][26] at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.[27] He is biracial;[28] his African American father Emory Tate (1958–2015) was a chess international master,[29] while his White English mother Eileen Tate worked as a catering assistant.[30] He has a younger brother, Tristan, and a younger sister, Janine.[31] He was raised in Chicago, Illinois, and Goshen, Indiana.[32][33] In 1997, after his parents divorced, his mother took him and his brother to Luton, England.[34][33] He was educated at Halyard High School and Luton Sixth Form College.[35][36]
Kickboxing career
Tate started practising boxing and other martial arts in 2005, and worked in the television advertising industry to support himself. In November 2008, he was ranked the seventh-best light heavyweight kickboxer in the United Kingdom by the International Sport Kickboxing Association (ISKA).[37] In 2009, he won his first championship at the British ISKA Full Contact Cruiserweight Championship in Derby, won the International Kickboxing Federation British belt and received the top rank in his division across Europe.[38][39] Tate's kickboxing nickname was "King Cobra".[40]
In 2011, Tate won his first International Sport Kickboxing Association (ISKA) world title in a rematch against Jean-Luc Benoît via knockout, having previously lost to Benoît by decision.[41] In 2012, Tate lost to Sahak Parparyan by unanimous decision while challenging for his It's Showtime 85MAX Championship.[42] Later that year, Tate lost the Enfusion championship tournament to Franci Grajš.[2] Before his loss, he was ranked second-best light-heavyweight kickboxer in the world.[43] In 2013, Tate won his second ISKA world title in a 12-round match against Vincent Petitjean, making him world champion in two weight divisions.[44] He defended the ISKA Belt and Won the Enfusion Belt in 2014, making him a four-time world champion[45] before he retired with 31 recorded fights.[46]
Big Brother
Tate gained widespread attention in 2016 when he appeared on the British reality show Big Brother's 17th series.[47] On the show Tate was a member of a secret second house, part of a group called "The Others."[48] While appearing on the show, he came under scrutiny for previously having made homophobic and racist posts on Twitter.[49] He was removed from the show after six days, with producers saying that it was because of events outside the house and Tate saying that it was about a video which appeared to show him striking a woman with a belt on the show. Producers also said that he was not let go because of the uncovered tweets.[48] Tate and the woman said that they were friends and that the actions in the video were consensual.[19] Vice later reported that Tate was removed because the show's producers became aware of an ongoing police investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary into him for rape, which closed in 2019 with no charges filed.[50]
Online ventures
Tate's website offers training courses on accumulating wealth and "male–female interactions".[53] According to the site, he also operated a webcam studio using his girlfriends as employees.[53] Tate and his brother Tristan started the webcam business, employing as many as 75 webcam models[54] to sell "fake sob stories" to male callers,[55] claiming to have made millions of dollars doing so.[56] According to Mary McNamara, Tate has called himself "a pimp",[57] and The Guardian wrote of his transition from a kickboxer to "a webcam pimp".[58] Tate later acknowledged that the business model was a "total scam".[56] In August 2023, it was estimated that The Real World and The War Room generated $5 million monthly from subscriptions.[23]
Hustler's University
Tate operated Hustler's University, a platform where members paid a US$49.99 monthly membership fee to receive instruction on ways to make money outside traditional employment, such as cryptocurrency, copywriting, and e-commerce, which was facilitated by prerecorded videos and a Discord server.[59] The site employed an affiliate marketing program, where members received a commission for recruiting others to the platform.[60][61]
Tate became prominent in 2022 by encouraging members of Hustler's University to post videos of him to social media platforms, in an effort to maximise engagement.[19] An investigation by The Observer described "a network of copycat accounts on TikTok" that artificially amplified his content, with the social media platform appearing to allow the content to spread.[62] Hustler's University was subsequently rebranded as Hustler University 2.0 and then Hustler University 3.0.[63] The Irish-American financial services company Stripe pulled out of processing subscriptions for the platform, and Hustler's University shut down its affiliate marketing program. Paul Harrigan, a marketing professor at the University of Western Australia, said the affiliate program was a social media pyramid scheme.[64] Tate described the claim that Hustler's University's operated as a pyramid scheme as false.[65]
The Real World
After Hustler's University shut down, Tate relaunched another version of the product named "The Real World" in October 2022. The name reference's Tate's idea that the world as normally perceived resembles The Matrix to which he offers an alternative.[63][60][66]
The Real World primarily targets male teenagers. Former Real World students have described the program as having a "cult-like atmosphere." The Real World has been described as a lawyer for former members as the male version of the Tate brother's "digital grooming".[67] Members refer to each other as "G" with Tate being the "Top G". The group is centered on Tate's "41 Tenets for men." The Real World course offering included cryptocurrency, e-commerce, and drop shipping.[63]
In 2023 Google and Apple removed The Real World's associated app, the Real World Portal, from their app store.[68][69] In January 2024, analysis from the Center for Countering Digital Hate found The Real World official YouTube channel had generated 450 million views, and according to the researchers, a third party's channel had gained nearly 300 million views reposting The Real World content. The researchers suggested that YouTube had earned up to £2.4m in revenue from advertisements on these two channels, and criticized the company for not banning similar third party channels sooner. YouTube responded by describing the estimate as "wildly inaccurate and overinflated".[70]
In May 2024 the website for The Real World leaked the personal data of 968,447 user accounts due to a misconfigured database. Leaked information included email addresses and account passwords. In addition 22 million messages sent by users on the platform were also openly accessible.[71] In November, the website suffered a cyberattack which leaked the usernames of 794,000 former and current members, 324,382 registered email addresses, as well as the contents of 221 public and 395 private chat servers.[72]
The War Room
The War Room promotes self-discipline, motivation and confidence building whilst giving members access to thousands of professionals from around the world who encourage personal responsibility and accountability, emphasising the importance of taking ownership of your choices and actions.
Advertised by Tate and costing $8,000, The War Room is described as "a global network in which exemplars of individualism work to free the modern man from socially induced incarceration", stating it teaches men "physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial development".[74] A senior member of the group, Miles Sonkin, also known as Iggy Semmelweiss,[75] is the supposed leader of the group according to a BBC investigation. Semmelweiss reportedly met Tate in 2018, with the group established in 2019.[73] The investigation in August 2023 led by Matt Shea documented evidence of women groomed into online sex work by members of the group,[73] described as an all-male secretive society.[52]
The group chat, featuring 12,000 pages of encrypted messages, indicated that the group taught a "Pimpin' Hoes Degree" course, abbreviated to PhD, using techniques to "romantically seduce, emotionally manipulate and socially isolate women before luring them into performing on webcams".[22] A legal expert in human trafficking from Bucharest described the course as using all the practices of the "Lover Boy" strategy.[15] A deleted description of the defunct course on the website that prosecutors in Romania have since used in the case against Tate read:[15][33]
My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she's quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she'd do anything I say, and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together,
Evidence suggested violence against women was also taught and discussed. Victims said sex was used as a manipulation technique. Members of the group believed they were performing "Pavlovian conditioning" on the women, with submission tests such as receiving tattoos on their bodies of members' initials. A whistleblower, who claimed to be former head of sales and marketing, described the group as a cult he had been "brainwashed" by.[73][76] A spokesperson for Tate said that the BBC's findings "not only present false accusations, but insult the massive community that considers Andrew Tate a life-changing positive force".[73] As of August 2022, there were 434 members and 45 potential victims, based on the leaked chat logs.[73]
Meme coins
Tate has endorsed a number of meme coins over the years, primarily on the Solana platform, including Roost (ROOST), Fuck Tristan (FTRISTAN), TopG (TOPG), and RNT (RNT).[77]
In 2024 Tate launched a meme coin called DADDY. It soon reached a market capitalization of $217 million. The name is meant to be a play on Iggy Azalea’s meme coin $MOTHER with Tate saying that the coin was "for the patriarchy." and "We’re bringing the Gs back make me a f***ing sandwich females."[78] He has encouraged those who hold the coin to join The Real World and has promoted the coin heavily on his social media.[79]
In October 2024 Andrew Tate was sent a series of questions by the YouTube channel Coffeezilla about his meme coin DADDY. In response Tate doxxed Coffeezilla and encouraged his supporters to email abusive content to Coffeezilla with Tate specifically requesting that they call him "gay."[80]
Views and influence
Tate is an influencer in the manosphere[4] and alpha male community,[81] described as both right-wing[13] and far-right.[14] According to The Conversation, he is a recognised "thought leader" in the online manosphere who mobilises his supporters to spread his ideas to a broader audience.[82] He otherwise identifies as a libertarian[83] and has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity".[11] Tate's divisive commentary[6] has been criticised by various charities and organisations, including the Anti-Defamation League,[84] White Ribbon Campaign,[85] Hope not Hate,[86] Rape Crisis England and Wales,[87] Centre for Countering Digital Hate,[88] Institute for Strategic Dialogue,[89] End Violence Against Women Coalition,[10] and Women's Aid.[90]
In 2017 Tate received attention for his tweets describing his view of what qualifies as sexual harassment amid the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases, and for tweeting several times that sexual assault victims share responsibility for their assaults.[53] He has been criticised for saying that depression "isn't real"[25][91] and that women "belong in the home", "can't drive",[92] and are "given to the man and belong to the man"[25] as "a man's property".[92] Tate has also said that men prefer dating 18- and 19-year-olds, because they are "likely to have had sex with fewer men", in order to "make an imprint" on teenagers,[93] and that women who do not stay home are "hoes".[94] According to Tate, some of his comments were intended as jokes and have been taken out of context.[95]
You can't slander me because I will state right now that I am absolutely sexist and I'm absolutely a misogynist, and I have fuck you money and you can't take that away.
Tate is associated with far-right ideologies[98][99][100] and individuals,[101][86][15] including British activist Tommy Robinson.[102][103] Before 2022, Tate became known among the online far-right through his appearances on InfoWars and acquaintances including Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and Paul Joseph Watson.[104][105] He attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2019.[106] Hope not Hate accuses Tate of a "long history of racist statements, homophobia and links to the organised far-right".[86] In February 2023, Thierry Baudet, founder and leader of the far-right Forum for Democracy, called Tate an "outspoken political dissident" and "courageous critic", tabling a motion in the Dutch parliament regarding his detention in Romania.[107]
In a June 2023 interview with the BBC, Tate said that he was "acting under the instruction of God to do good things" and that "I preach hard work, discipline. I'm an athlete, I preach anti-drugs, I preach religion, I preach no alcohol, I preach no knife crime."[95] Tate has come out in support of Russell Brand after multiple women accused Brand of sexual assault,[108] stated that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is a hero,[109] and has questioned whether the Nazis were really the "bad guy" in World War II.[70] In the context of the Israel–Hamas war, Tate has accused Israel of "genociding" Palestinians and said that the Hamas attack on Israel was as "an eye for an eye" in,[110] and in response to the killing of Yahya Sinwar, he stated, "I can only pray for a death as heroic as Yahya Sinwar".[111]
In March 2024, after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Maryland, Tate falsely claimed the ship that collided with the bridge "was cyber-attacked".[112] By May, far-right conservatives such as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens had platformed Tate as a proponent of "traditional views on men in the culture war raging over gender".[15] In August, Tate was accused of inciting online hate[113] after becoming one of the first influencers to amplify misinformation about the Southport stabbing, leading to the far-right riots in the UK.[114][115][116] The Conversation called Tate "not explicitly far right" but otherwise as a figure who has promoted far-right propaganda, including the great replacement conspiracy theory.[117]
Reception
Beginning in 2022,[118] Tate's views and their influence on teenage boys and young men have become a particular concern of parents, teachers and mental health experts in much of the world, including North America,[119] the United Kingdom,[118] Australia[120][121] and New Zealand.[122] The New York Times has described his views as "brainwashing a generation", due to his influence in British schools,[123] and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) considers Tate's misogyny mainstream. The ADL reported that Tate "teaches his acolytes that women are inferior and morally deficient beings [...] who deserve to be physically, sexually and emotionally abused", equating his philosophy to that of pick-up artists.[84]
In August 2022, the White Ribbon Campaign, a nonprofit organisation opposing male-on-female violence, called Tate's commentary "extremely misogynistic" and its possible long-term effects on his young male audience "concerning".[85] Hope not Hate asserted that Tate's social media presence might present a "dangerous slip road into the far-right" for his audience[87] and criticised his ties to the far right.[86] The Rape Crisis England and Wales said it is "unacceptable that such a blatant display of misogyny is being given a platform".[87] The Centre for Countering Digital Hate called Tate's videos "extreme misogyny" after uncovering videos viewed millions of times referencing leaving an imprint on young women.[88] In response to these criticisms, Tate said that his content includes "many videos praising women" and mainly aims to teach his audience to avoid "toxic and low-value people as a whole".[93] He added that he plays a "comedic character" and that people believe "absolutely false narratives" about him.[124]
In February 2023, Tim Squirrell of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue said Tate posed "a risk of radicalising young men into misogynist extremism".[89] In May, Hope not Hate's director of policy called Tate a "legitimising force" for misogynistic views and the End Violence Against Women Coalition's director said it is "hugely concerning" that "Tate continues to wield influence on a significant proportion of younger men, who say they agree with his views on women, masculinity and how to be a man."[10] According to interviews by The Conversation in mid–2023, teachers explicitly identified Tate's influence on students in reference to a dramatic increase in "sexism, misogyny and sexual harassment" in Australian classrooms.[125] In October, UK domestic abuse charity Women's Aid called Tate's content a proxy for misogyny and sexism, saying, "the popularity of Tate is not a phenomenon in and of itself and, instead, is a current representation of existing misogyny".[90]
In a 2024 interview with Empire magazine, actor James McAvoy said that his character Paddy in the movie Speak No Evil was inspired by Tate.[126]
Response
In February 2023, courses for teachers in the United Kingdom on how to address Tate's views sold out.[129] Of what was called violent misogyny and other forms of extremist content that Tate distributes online, the head of UK counter-terror policing has said, "I'm concerned about the effect of that kind of rhetoric in the minds of young boys".[130] In April 2023, the Department for Education (DfE) discouraged discussion of Tate, with many citing his influence regarding sexual harassment and misogynistic incidents. The co-founder of the charity Diversify expressed frustration over the refusal to provide any resources or training for teachers.[127]
In October 2023, the Australian government allocated AUD$3.5 million (£1.8 million) to counter "harmful gender stereotypes perpetuated online" in response to young fans of Tate who have been described as "increasingly bringing misogynist views into Australian schools". According to researchers at Monash University, Australian teachers have quit their jobs, students openly espoused "male supremacist" views, and Tate's views have shaped the way boys treat women and girls.[121][131]
In February 2024, the Shadow Education Secretary in the UK, Bridget Phillipson, said the Labour Party wanted to use male role models to counter the misogyny of influencers such as Tate. The proposal would implement "peer-to-peer mentoring" programs for school staff in order to directly address the impact of Tate and others. The general secretary of the National Education Union, Daniel Kebede, welcomed the plans, saying, "schools would welcome more support on how to respond to the online sexism and sexual harassment".[128]
Surveys
In January 2023, a survey by "The Man Cave" of 500 teenage Australian boys found that 28 per cent looked up to Tate and 36 per cent found him relatable. Of 24 schools, half said they were "seeing a significant and negative impact of his influence on our boys".[132] The next month, a survey by Hope not Hate found that eight in ten British males aged 16–17 had viewed Tate's content, with 45 per cent of British males aged 16–24 having a positive view of him, compared to 1 per cent of British girls aged 16 and 17.[133]
In September 2023, YouGov data found that 26 per cent of men aged 18–29 and 28 per cent of men aged 30–39 agreed with Tate's views on women. Of the 63 per cent of British adults who had heard of Tate, 6 per cent held a positive view, with men making up 12 per cent and women 3 per cent of views, while about half had a negative view.[10][134]
In October 2023, a survey by Women's Aid and ORB International found that 40 per cent of 7–18 year-olds had heard of Tate, including 21 per cent of 7–11 year-olds and 43–53 per cent of 11–18 year-olds. The report found a correlation between being exposed to Tate's content and having harmful perceptions of relationships,[90] with children exposed to such content being "five times more likely to think hurting people is OK".[135]
In February 2024, research by King's College London, the Center for Women's Global Leadership, and Ipsos[136] found that one in five men aged 16–29 who had heard of Tate held a favourable view,[137] compared to 7 per cent of women in the same age group. Based on the survey of over 3,700 respondents aged 16 and over, only 6 per cent held a favourable view, while more than three out of four held an unfavourable view. One in seven agreed with his views on male identity and gender roles and 61 per cent disagreed.[136]
Social media
An early YouTube channel Andrew and Tristan made was called the Hateful Tates.[138] Tate became widely known in mid-2022 and was searched on Google more times than both Donald Trump and COVID-19 that July.[87] In August, The Guardian reported that videos of Tate on TikTok had been viewed 11.6 billion times.[30] In December 2023, Tate had over 8.5 million followers on X (Twitter),[139] an increase of 5 million since December 2022.[140] As of August 2024, Tate has 9.9 million followers on X.[7][8] He was the third-most googled person in 2023,[9] and his Wikipedia article was ranked among the top 25 English Wikipedia articles in 2023.[141]

In December 2022, Tate addressed the environmentalist Greta Thunberg in a tweet extolling his carbon-emitting automobiles and asked for her email address to give her more information. Thunberg replied with the fake, satirical email address "smalldickenergy@getalife.com". The exchange received substantial attention on Twitter,[144] with Thunberg's retort quickly becoming one of the most-liked tweets ever.[145]
Tate gained notoriety on social media for promoting a "hyper-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle" and a "hyper-macho image".[146][20] According to The Guardian in February 2023, Tate is popular among British teenage boys, who mimic his phrases and philosophies. It reported that "virtually every parent in Britain" had heard of him, and that parents and schoolteachers expressed concern that he was influencing boys to exhibit misogynistic and aggressive behaviour.[47] CNN reported that students as young as middle schoolers regurgitate his abuse and harass female classmates. In the UK and Australia, sexual harassment in schools has also been blamed on Tate's influence.[147]
In January 2023 the BBC reported that Tate and his brother had used social media to contact underage girls in an attempt to get them to join their webcam business.[148] A year later, the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that YouTube had earned up to £2.4 million in advertising revenue from Tate's content and accused YouTube of being "happy to continue to turn a blind eye". YouTube called the figure "wildly inaccurate and overinflated", highlighting that most channels are not monetised for such revenue.[70]
Deplatforming
Three of Tate's Twitter accounts have been suspended at different times. In 2021, an account he created to evade his previous ban was verified by Twitter, contrary to its policies. The account was subsequently permanently banned, and Twitter said the verification occurred in error.[53]
In August 2022, after an online campaign to deplatform him, Tate was permanently banned from Facebook and Instagram, losing 4.7 million followers from the latter.[149] Parent company Meta said he had violated its policy on "dangerous organizations and individuals".[150] TikTok, where videos featuring Tate's name as a hashtag have been viewed over 13 billion times, also removed his account after determining that it violated their policies on "content that attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanises an individual or a group".[104] Shortly thereafter, YouTube suspended his channel, which had 760,000 subscribers,[87] citing multiple violations, including hate speech and COVID-19 misinformation. Tate later deleted his own Twitch channel, which had 50,000 subscribers.[151] In November 2022, after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, Tate's Twitter account was reinstated.[152]
Tate responded to the bans by saying that, while most of his comments were taken out of context, he took responsibility for how they were received.[25] The YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul denounced Tate's sexism but characterised the bans as censorship.[54] Tate's content continues to circulate on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok via fan accounts.[153][154] After the bans, Tate moved to alt-tech platforms Gettr and Rumble, causing the latter to briefly become the most downloaded app on the App Store.[155][156]
Personal life
In 2017, Tate and his brother moved from the United Kingdom to Romania, where they run multiple businesses. Tate said that he moved because he liked "living in countries where corruption is accessible for everybody"[157] and believed he would be less likely to face rape charges in Romania. He said that Romanian police ask women reporting rapes for "evidence" or "CCTV proof", whereas in the Western world during the #MeToo movement any woman "at any point in the future can destroy your life".[158][159][97][160] Tate reportedly has a number of children living in Romania whom he occasionally visits.[161][1]
Tate was raised Christian[162] but later became an atheist.[163] By early 2022, he identified as a Christian again, and said that he tithed £16,000 to the Romanian Orthodox Church monthly.[164][165] After a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral in October 2022, he announced on his Gettr account that he had converted to Islam.[166][167][168] The sincerity of his conversion to Islam has been questioned.[169]
On 4 March 2023, while incarcerated in Romania, Tate's legal team said that "he has a dark spot on his lung, most likely a tumor" following a medical consultation in Dubai, sparking online rumours about whether he has lung cancer.[170] On 5 March, Tate denied on Twitter that he had cancer.[171]
Criminal investigations and civil cases
Tate was first arrested in Britain in July 2015 after two women filed complaints accusing him of rape and assault and was again arrested on suspicion of rape in December 2015.[15] In 2019, the Crown Prosecution Service declined to file charges for any of the allegations.[50][172][173]
In April 2022, the US embassy received a report that an American citizen was being held against her will in a property the Tate brothers own in Pipera, Romania.[174] Romanian police raided the home and a nearby webcam studio belonging to the Tates, where they discovered four women. Two of them, the American and another Romanian woman, told the police they were being held against their will, sparking an in-rem[b] investigation into human trafficking and rape by DIICOT, the Romanian anti-organised crime agency.[176][177] Later in December, police arrested the Tates and two women.[178][179] All four were suspected of human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, and one of them is suspected of rape.[174][180] Romanian authorities seized 29 assets, including cars, properties, watches, and money, totaling almost US$4 million.[181][182]
In June 2023, DIICOT adjusted the charges from human trafficking to "human trafficking in continued form", a more serious charge,[183] with seven victims identified.[184][185][186] The four accused were indicted on charges of rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. They continue to deny all charges and remain under investigation for money laundering and trafficking of minors.[146] That same month, the Tate brothers filed a defamation lawsuit against one of the accusers, their parents and two other people, in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, seeking $5 million in damages. The Tates claim the five conspired to falsely accuse them of human trafficking and rape, costing them their freedom as well as income from social media and business ventures.[187][188]
In January 2024, the Romanian criminal case was heard in the preliminary chamber before a trial date was set,[189] and three months later, the Bucharest Tribunal decided that the case against Tate "met the legal criteria".[190] That same month, U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg dismissed another of the brothers' defamation lawsuits. They had sued a former United States Marine Corps sergeant who reported Tate to the U.S. Embassy in Romania and military officials, leading to his arrest by Romanian authorities.[191]
In March 2024, the UK's Westminster Magistrates' Court issued a European arrest warrant against Andrew and Tristan Tate. According to Tate's representative, the charges are based on allegations of sexual aggression from 2012 to 2015.[18] The Tate brothers "categorically reject all charges".[192] In July, Devon and Cornwall Police began civil proceedings against Tate, Tristan, and third person, for tax evasion with their online businesses.[16][193] Two months later, the three women involved in the British investigation, along with a fourth British woman, brought a civil case against Tate.[194][195]
In August 2024, Romanian police expanded their investigation against Tate to include trafficking minors, sex with a minor, money laundering and attempting to influence witnesses.[196][197] Prosecutors said the new investigation involves 35 alleged victims, including a women who was a minor at the time.[17] The Tate brothers, among the six detained the next day, have denied all the allegations.[198][199]
In December 2024, the Westminster Magistrates' Court ruled in favour of the Devon and Cornwall police, allowing them to seize around £2.5m worth of unpaid taxes from the Tate brothers' online businesses.[200]
