Social media influencer Andrew Tate arrested in Romania
Andrew Tate, a social media influencer known for his controversial and misogynistic views, has been arrested in Romania on suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group, according to Romanian prosecutors. Tate and his brother Tristan were taken into custody in Bucharest and will be detained for 24 hours. The arrest follows a complaint by the US Embassy about a woman with American citizenship being held against her will at the brothers’ home.
Tate, a former kickboxer, has been banned from multiple social media platforms due to his hateful speech and for operating Hustlers University, a pyramid scheme that promises to teach people how to become wealthy. Despite the bans, he continues to have a presence on social media, including on TikTok, where content featuring him under the hashtag Andrew Tate has been viewed billions of times.
Tate first gained notoriety in 2016 when he was removed from the reality TV show Big Brother after a video surfaced that appeared to show him attacking a woman with a belt. He claimed the video was edited. Since then, he has made a number of disturbing comments, including suggesting that rape victims bear some responsibility for their attacks and referring to women as “property” belonging to men. He has also described how he would violently assault a woman who accused him of cheating, saying he would “bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck.”
Due to his harmful rhetoric and potential influence on young people, particularly young men, concerns have been raised about Tate’s impact on society. Tate has denied holding misogynistic views and accused his critics of “twisting facts.”
