Andrew Tate news — Disgraced influencer to appear in Romanian court today as misogynist prays he won't go back to prison | The Sun
DISGRACED influencer Andrew Tate has claimed he has been summoned back to court for a hearing today.
Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in December as Romanian cops raided their luxury mansion over allegations of human trafficking and rape.
But they have since been released under house arrest after a decision to deny them bail was overturned by the Bucharest Court of Appeal.
Taking to Twitter yesterday, the disgraced influencer said: "Tristan and I have been summoned to DICOTT offices at 10am tomorrow morning" – before following up with a tweet saying: "Power up in case they send me back tomorrow".
The former kickboxer recently claimed that Romania's DIICOT anti-organised crime prosecuting unit's legal case against him has been "utterly fabricated".

Andrew Tate was kicked off of Big Brother
Andrew first came to wider public attention when he appeared on reality TV show Big Brother.
But his stay in the BB house proved to be short-lived, and he was kicked off the Channel 5 show after a video of him appearing to assault a woman emerged.
Tate told The Sun in 2016 that the video depicted role play.
In 2022, rape and domestic abuse charities including Rape Crisis England and Wales and Women’s Aid called on TikTok to remove him from the platform over comments he’s made in videos.
Amelia Handy, policy lead at Rape Crisis England and Walestold The Daily Mail: “These videos are a clear example of rape culture, where rape and sexual violence are minimised and survivors are blamed for crimes committed against them.”

Disgraced influencer claims one of his victims was ‘imaginary’
Women’s rights activist has slammed Andrew Tate after he said one of his alleged victims was “imaginary” and “doesn’t exist.”
In his bombshell interview with the BBC under house arrest, the disgraced influencer accused the broadcaster of “inventing” the woman’s allegations.
The former kickboxer claimed the legal case against him has been “utterly fabricated” in the tense one-on-one with journalist Lucy Williamson.
He furiously denied fuelling a culture of misogyny and dismissed all the alleged charges against him that were being investigated.
Viewers were left outraged after he insisted one of his alleged victims was fictional and sternly shot down damning questions.
The combative conversation turned to a woman who has spoken out against Tate under the pseudonym Sophie.

Women’s rights activists slam disgraced influencer
Dr Charlotte Proudman, the director of women’s organisation Right to Equality, slammed the BBC for giving Tate a platform.
She claimed victims who she works with have told her they felt “re-traumatised” by watching him “minimising his abusive behaviour.”
“The BBC aired Andrew Tate’s comment that an abuse victim’s allegations against him are ‘imaginary’ which is tantamount to gaslighting if he is found guilty,” the campaigner told inews.
“Where is the duty of care for victims?
“I am deeply concerned about the impact of this on victims more broadly who may feel that platforming an extreme misogynist accused of violent acts towards women is a slap in the face for them.
“A survivor of rape told me she felt triggered, and couldn’t help but imagine her rapist sitting in his position.
“Why is the media giving airtime to men accused of heinous acts rather than survivors whose voices are rarely heard?”

Domestic abuse campaigner slams Tate
Domestic abuse campaigner David Challen also chimed in with a tweet, saying Tate’s manipulation tactics were on full view in his recent BBC interview.
He fumed: “In an interview with the BBC Andrew Tate says he’s against any form of abuse but at the same time some of his comments are ‘jokes’ and ‘satirical content’.
“The man who refutes manipulating women sure is trying to manipulate this female journalist.”

The BBC blasted for treating Tate ‘like a VIP’
A judicial source has blasted the BBC for treating Andrew Tate “like A VIP” in the interview at his home while he’s on house arrest.
The source told The Sun Online: “It is really outrageous to see Mr Tate spread such bad words on the Romanian authorities when there is an investigation for over five months, with many pieces of evidence.
“It is simply just not normal for Mr Tate to give such an interview with so many conditions to BBC, like he was an outstanding VIP, and not in fact a person investigated with his brother for several crimes.
“But I hope that the laws and the pieces of evidence will have the final word in this case from which Mr Tate tries to do a sort of show.”

Andrew Tate uses ‘same cringey opening lines to target young girls’
A woman who claims she was approached by his brother Tristan when she was a teen, says they both appear to use the same formula when messaging girls on social media.
Gabriela – not her real name – told the BBC she was contacted by Tristan Tate when she was 17, although she later pretended to be 19.
She said the first message she received was a simple: “You’re beautiful”.
Gabriela said she knew he was using the same approach with other girls and that he always started the conversation with exactly the same line.
She said a friend of hers got the same opening message from him.
Andrew Tate, in his online video, says the phrase “you are beautiful” isn’t bad as an opening line.
