The 36-year-old former MMA fighter known for his misogynistic comments and promoting toxic masculinity through social media was arrested along with his brother in Romania. The Tate brothers lost their 1st February appeal since the judge considered the offenders “particular dangerousness of the defendants”. Based on their way of targetting victims, “with an increased vulnerability, in search of better life opportunities,” the judge granted their decision against the alleged perpetrators.
Andrew Tate initially started making his career in the entertainment sector in 2016, by appearing on Big Brother, the reality TV show. However, he was soon removed from the show after a video of him attacking a woman emerged and went viral. Ever since then, Tate has been trying his luck through social media sites.
Tate who previously moved to Romania in 2017 and changed his religion to Islam, gained his online popularity through controversy, by promoting hyper-masculinity and misogyny. The controversial influencer was therefore banned from using several social media sites after posting hateful opinions and gender-biased comments.
