Misogynic influencer Andrew Tate leaves Romania for the USA
Andrew Tate left Romania with his brother Tristan and traveled to the United States by flight to the United States, as their lawyer confirmed to CNN. The duo was arrested in the country three years ago and is faced with charges for rape, human trade and money laundering.
who is Andrew Tate?
Emory Andrew Tate III is a 38-year-old former professional fighter and media personality born in the United States, who, with his provocative views, caused a sensation on male dominance, female submission and wealth on the Internet. He first gained great fame in 2016 when he was excluded from the British reality TV show "Big Brother" after a video was published that allegedly showed how he attacked a woman with a belt.
Since then, Tate has developed into a controversial online content creator, which was temporarily excluded by all major social media platforms. In 2017 he was blocked by Twitter, known today as X, after explaining that women should take “responsibility” for sexual assault. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube also blocked him in 2022 after he had violated their guidelines. This removal followed a campaign of the British interest association Hope not hate that works against racism and extremism.
Why is his influence considered harmful?
Tate is accused,
Georgie Laming, director of campaigns and communication at Hope Not Hate, told CNN that the self -confidence that exudes the act radiates, as well as the lifestyle that he propagated, is central to its harmful influence. "Tates misogynisic, homophber and racist content is seen online by millions of young people. His self -confidence, his money and lifestyle are very carefully designed to make his brand appear inspiring and desirable," said Laming. Critics argue that Tates is harmful in itself, but do not exist in isolation. According to Laming, his ideas can be connected to the extreme right and the worldview of the so -called "manoSphere" - a loose -linked accumulation of forums, blogs, vlogs and organizations that deal with men's questions and certain interpretations of masculinity that are directed against feminism
"parts of the 'manoSphere' are very misogyn and have become increasingly extreme and close to the extreme right in recent years, with racist conspiracy theories being used to explain perceived social problems," said Laming. "Tate is able to attract follower with its misogynic content and then present them to his right -wing radical friends and dangerous conspiracy theories." Andrew and his younger brother Tristan Tate, 36, were originally arrested in Bucharest in December 2022. They are accused of forming an organized criminal group of having trade in human trafficking, trade in minors, sexual traffic with minors and money laundering. They deny all allegations. A first criminal trial against the crime failed in December 2024 when a court in Bucharest decided to suspend the process due to defects in the indictment. A Romanian court picked up a house arrest against the act in January and instead set conditions such as regular police controls. In October, a court decided that he should come back to his luxurious vehicle worth around 4 million euros ($ 4.43 million), which the prosecutors had confiscated in the course of their investigation. The brothers were previously excluded from the departure from Romania during the ongoing investigation. After these restrictions were lifted and the brothers left the country, Matthew Jury - a lawyer who represents the alleged victim of Andrew Tate in the United Kingdom - told CNN that every indication that the crime in Romania would have to expect to be "fantastic". The lawyer accused the US government of having done “lobbying” for the fact. At the beginning of this month, the Financial Times would have pushed to remove the restrictions against the act. Romania's Foreign Minister said he was not put under pressure. "We cannot believe it and feel that the Romanian authorities have given in to print the Trump administration in order to allow Andrew Tate to make the trip to the USA," says the explanation that is available. What is the 'manoSphere'?
Litigation in the course
But the Tate brothers are not only facing long legal disputes in Romania. In Great Britain, too, they are looking forward to accusations of sexual offenses that contest them. Four women in the United Kingdom who accused Andrew Tate of Rape and Coerzing Control and submitted a complaint against him, explained in a joint statement on Thursday that the news that he had left Romania again.
