Controversial media influencer Andrew Tate arrested in Romania.

[Social Media]

Tate and his brother have been detained along with two Romanians, with prosecutors claiming they "appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women".

[Bluespunk]

Given his misogynistic views, it is quite believable he could act this way.

Just 2 days before he got owned by Greta Thunberg. She got 3,2 million likes for her response, he replied a few mins later with "how dare you" ????

Looks like he painted a target on his own back.

What a horrible little "man."

Maybe testosterone poisoning is a real thing.

Seems to be popular with red pilled incel types.

I can imagine him doing these crimes but do hope he gets a fair trial.

Even sleazeballs deserve that.

I wonder why anybody with tons of money would live in Romania.

I am sure there are reasons, but I am not sure they are the kind of reasons you would like to explain to your mother...

That reminds me of my conversation with my gf today. I had to explain to her that there are countries in this world where you are your own filling station attendant. Not like Thailand, where you have all those attendees who do that for you.

Beautiful country and beautiful girls, and great offpiste skiing! 

 

Beer taste good in Romania to, imported ????

I wondered how long it would be before these type of allegations were made. That's what happens when you speak truth to power. It was inevitable.

 

Good luck Andrew. Let's hope truth prevails.

If you believe the conspiracy he have built around himself, and many wish it is true

What amazes me is the wrath that Greta brings out in these guys who criticize her.  The first place I saw it was in this forum.  A teenage girl with a pro-environment stance -- what is the threat?

I think it’s jealousy and envy personally I get a kick out of her youthful passion and I’ve enjoyed following her adventures you go young lady give ‘em hell girl!!!

[Jingthing]

About Andrew Tate, I'm obviously not in his target audience, and from what I know about him which is limited, I very much do not like him.

But he has the right to express his POV no matter how damaging and toxic.

What I'm curious about now is on what basis are his defenders claiming he is innocent of what he's being charged with?

I don't know either way, but it feels to me his defenders are reacting only in  a tribal manner, portraying an obviously extremely aggressive man as some kind of victim, and I'm not seeing any basis in fact.

I wondered how long it would be before one of his fan-boys showed up.

 

He’s such a nasty piece of work and seething with so much hate, it was a certainty he’d have a defender show up sometime.

[Bkk Brian]

The court agreed to hold him, his brother and 2 Romanian men for a further 30 days detention so this investigation must be quite serious. To be honest I'd never even heard of him till this came up but after doing a little research its no wonder the usual suspects are fanboys. What a nasty piece of work. Causing offense seemed to be a passion for him, homophobic, racial slurs and of course his extreme misogynistic rants.

 

In the UK he hang out with anti-Islam activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, in the US he appeared on Info Wars hosted by Alex Jones.

 

The reason he moved from the Uk to Romania is because UK police were investigating abuse allegations. "In one video explaining his reasons for the move he suggested it was because it would be easier to evade rape charges."

 

More on this vile character here from an August 2022 article:

 

Inside the violent, misogynistic world of TikTok’s new star, Andrew Tate

Andrew Tate says women belong in the home, can’t drive, and are a man’s property. Tate’s private online academy Hustler’s University and a network of copycat accounts on TikTok, has been described by experts as a “blatant attempt to manipulate the algorithm” and artificially boost his content. In less than three months, the strategy has earned him a huge following online and potentially made him millions of pounds, with 127,000 members now paying the £39 a month to join Hustler’s University community, many of them men and boys from the UK and US.

Maybe Romania is embarrassed.  They have the world's attention at this moment, and this trash is what is on display.  Provenance of cars like this, and their journey to this guy's garage, probably has a lot of blank spaces. 

This is kind of like the Bill Cosby thing: one day he goes on social media asking for memes, someone responds with "how about rape?" and the rest is history.  This time it was a pizza box.  I wonder if things like this happen frequently.

Jeez I must be old, I have no idea who this guy is. 

 

I guess he certainly didn't influence me!

That is to be welcomed. The less people this creature influences the better.

And a girl with a disability as well, just exercising her freedom of speech. It's actually quite creepy.

I thought the law states innocent until proven guilty ?

 

People on the right are guilty until proved innocent? ????

 

Please provide links proving his guilt. 

[Seppius]

Facing a long time in prison if these allegations are proved. Wonder what Romanian jails are like? at least he can handle himself

On one side he seems to be an a$@hole.

 

On the other side he does not shy away from telling the truth. Recently I saw (part of) an interview from Piers Morgan with him. A lot of what he said made sense. And some of what he said is what lots of people don't dare to talk about anymore because they are scared that they will be cancelled.

 

Obviously, I don't know what he did or didn't do in Romania and other places. Maybe he committed crimes. But maybe he just behaved in a way that many people don't like and that was reason enough to arrest him.

 

Let's see how this will go on. Will there be real evidence that he committed crimes? Or maybe just more of those MeToo accusations (without evidence)?
