THE BACKSTORY
Timeline
- Early 2010s: Andrew Tate started his webcamming business in the U.K. in the early 2010s. He was broke at the time and saw an opportunity to make money by setting up a webcam studio (he made his first big money and become a multi millionaire with his webcamming business).
- 2015: Andrew Tate was arrested three times in the U.K. on suspicion of sexually assaulting one woman and raping two others—but the case was dropped altogether in 2019. In 2023, the three women who had accused Tate of rape and sexual assault announced they were filing another lawsuit against him.
- 2017: Andrew Tate moved to Romania in 2017. He has said that he moved to Romania because he thought it was lawless, but he has also been accused of moving to Romania to avoid potential criminal charges in the UK.
- On April 21, 2020, Andrew Tate tweeted that he made $551,000 from eight girls that were doing webcamming and OnlyFans. “I’ll give them a couple thousand each and keep the 500.”
- On April 11, 2022, Romanian police raided the home of Tate brothers following notification from the U.S. Embassy. The embassy informed Romanian authorities that a 21-year-old U.S. woman claimed she was being held captive by the Tate brothers. After entering Tate’s residence that month, authorities said they discovered another woman from Romania who said she was also being held captive. Andrew Tate was questioned by police for 5 hours and released, but the investigation continued. Authorities said their investigation then expanded to include suspicion of human trafficking and rape.
- On December 29, 2022, Andrew Tate was arrested along with his brother, Tristan, and two other individuals on sex-trafficking allegations. They were all detained for 30 days while the investigation continued.
- On June 20, 2023, Romanian prosecutors indicted Andrew Tate on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group.
The Andrew Tate Playbook
- Recruitment: Andrew Tate’s strategy began with a calculated search for vulnerable young women on social media platforms. His preferred targets were those who were financially disadvantaged, lacked a stable family structure, and were particularly missing father figures in their lives. This demographic was chosen due to their susceptibility to manipulation and promises of a better life.
- False Promises: Tate would then lure these women with the promise of a romantic relationship or marriage. Notably, there was no mention of sex work at this stage, creating a false sense of security and trust. It’s important to note that none of these women had been involved in sex work in the past, further emphasizing the deceit and manipulation involved in this process.
- Transportation: The unsuspecting victims then traveled to Romania under the premise of meeting Andrew Tate for the promised relationship or marriage. At this point, the victims were completely unaware of the impending exploitation and the nature of the work they would be forced into.
- Isolation and Control: Upon arrival, the victims were housed to a heavily surveilled house, equipped with 24-7 cameras and security personnel. The victims were not allowed to leave the premises unaccompanied. There are also allegations that Tate confiscated the victims’ passports, but this claim has not been confirmed by the Romanian police.
- Pressure and Manipulation: Once the victims were isolated and trapped, Andrew Tate would employ various tactics to coerce them into participating in sex work. These tactics ranged from psychological manipulation to threats and the creation of false debts. The relentless pressure would continue until the victims succumbed and agreed to engage in OnlyFans or webcamming.
MUST WATCH VIDEO
Self-Snitching: This video features old clips of Andrew Tate, which contradict the statements he made during his interview with Tucker Carlson. The video went viral, amassing 2 million views in just a few hours, and was shared by several prominent conservatives:
- Liz Wheeler, the former OAAN host, tweeted: “MUST WATCH video exposes Andrew Tate’s lies to @TuckerCarlson . Warning: this is really horrendous stuff.”
- Allie Beth Stuckey, the BlazeTV host, tweeted: “Andrew Tate is evidence that the right can be as easily deceived by empty platitudes and virtue signaling as the left. All the true things Tate says about social issues, responsibility, etc, are just virtue signals to cover for his degeneracy. In his own words, he’s a pimp who sexually and emotionally manipulates women (in one video he says “15… I mean 16. Or… what’s the age of consent in the US? 18?”) into exploiting their bodies for money.”
- Lila Rose, President and Founder of LiveAction, tweeted: “Andrew Tate is not your friend. Tate’s recent moralizing on Twitter is because he is getting disciplined by Romanian authorities for doing evil things and he’s trying to gaslight his followers into thinking he is the victim of secret globalist powers.”
