Andrew Tate News: Social Media Influencer Once More In the Middle Of Explosive Controversy

Posted: September 10, 2024

Two British women have accused social media influencer Andrew Tate of rape and strangulation while he remains under house arrest in Romania. Tate, along with his brother Tristan, faces serious charges including human trafficking and sexual exploitation. If convicted, they could face more than ten years in prison, but both brothers deny all allegations against them.

The women, who spoke to the BBC, detailed their harrowing experiences with Tate, claiming these incidents occurred in the UK prior to the ongoing legal issues in Romania. One woman, identified only as “Anna,” revealed that she dated Tate in 2013. She recounted a disturbing encounter during which Tate allegedly threatened her before assaulting her. “He just looked at me and said, ‘I’m debating whether I should rape you or not,’” Anna recalled, emphasizing the terror she felt during the incident.

Following the assault, Anna described receiving unsettling messages from Tate. In a voice note, he reportedly said, “The more you didn’t like it, the more I enjoyed it,” and in another text message, he wrote, “I love raping you.” These communications have raised concerns about Tate’s mindset and the potential for further abusive behavior.

Another woman, referred to as “Sienna,” shared her traumatic experience from 2014, claiming she was strangled to the point of unconsciousness during a sexual encounter with Tate. “I was absolutely terrified,” Sienna stated. She vividly remembered gasping for air and described the subsequent assault that continued even after she regained consciousness. The next day, she woke up with a bloodshot eye, a condition often associated with strangulation in domestic abuse cases. A friend of Sienna’s corroborated her account, recalling that she had informed him of the incident at the time and showed him her injury.

These allegations from Anna and Sienna coincide with a growing number of claims from other women who allege that Tate used manipulation and coercion to trap them in abusive situations. The Tate brothers’ legal troubles have been mounting, particularly as Romanian prosecutors accuse them of transporting women from the UK for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

Despite the serious nature of these allegations, Andrew Tate has maintained his innocence, asserting in a 2023 BBC interview that he has never engaged in non-consensual acts. The unfolding situation continues to attract significant media attention as the investigation progresses, highlighting the broader societal issues surrounding abuse and exploitation.
