Andrew Tate's Legal Counterattack Allegations of Harassment and Intimidation

[Social Media]

 

Andrew Tate, the controversial influencer facing charges of rape and human trafficking, is now accused of orchestrating a calculated campaign to intimidate and silence his alleged victims and critics. According to court filings revealed by The Times, Tate and his brother Tristan have launched defamation lawsuits in Palm Beach, Florida, against several individuals, including one of their accusers and her parents, as well as journalists and social media commentators who have spoken out against them.

 

 

Lawyers for two alleged victims, identified in court documents as Jane Doe and Mary Doe to protect their identities, claim that the brothers have engaged in a "scorched earth" strategy. This includes hiring private investigators and internet researchers to gather potentially damaging information about their accusers.

 

It is alleged that while in prison in Romania, Andrew Tate instructed his cousin and others to produce videos aimed at discrediting the women. “In these [prison] calls Tate said, ‘Keep going! Good job. Over and over again, different ones … we need the girls to cry, to be frustrated, angry’,” Jane Doe’s legal team stated.

 

These videos, described as “highly salacious, humiliating and defamatory,” reportedly circulated widely online. Additional claims allege that Tate sent individuals to Jane Doe’s parents’ home in Florida to photograph the property as a means of harassment and intimidation.

 

One disturbing allegation involves Sulaiman Ahmed, a British social media personality with over 600,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter). According to Jane Doe’s lawyers, Ahmed was paid by the Tates to interview a former boyfriend of Jane Doe who had sexually assaulted her when she was 17. This individual allegedly accessed her mobile phone without consent and shared its contents with Ahmed, who in turn provided the information to the Tate brothers.

 

The campaign did not stop there. Ryan Dawson, another influencer and conspiracy theorist based in South Korea, is accused of being paid to fly to the U.S. to investigate Jane Doe further. “The defamatory and harassing posts Ryan Dawson has made on X, formerly Twitter, about Jane Doe were done at the direction and for the benefit of the Tate Brothers,” her lawyers claim. In a screenshot presented as evidence, Dawson is seen telling a prospective client, “Looks like I’m going to Florida in June [to meet an ex-boyfriend of] one of Tate’s accusers. Tate actually pays so their stuff comes first.”

 

Jane Doe’s legal team characterizes the Tates’ defamation suit as a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation), accusing the brothers of trying to suppress dissent through “frivolous lawsuits to discredit, intimidate, humiliate and embarrass” anyone speaking against them. “Their scorched-earth litigation strategy would be regarded as odious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” the lawyers wrote.

 

Another accuser, Brianna Stern, who has filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Andrew Tate in Los Angeles, has reportedly gone into hiding and hired private security due to fear of retaliation. Meanwhile, Bedfordshire police in the UK have obtained a warrant for the Tates’ arrest on similar charges, and the brothers are expected to be extradited from Romania once current legal proceedings conclude.

 

Despite the serious allegations, the Tates continue to deny all wrongdoing. Their lawyer in the U.S., Thomas Maniotis, has labeled Jane Doe a “con artist” who “engages in romance scams.” He also claims that the brothers are the true victims, targeted by what he calls “Team Matrix,” a group allegedly conspiring to destroy their reputations. “Team Matrix took part in a concerted effort [to] terrorise and threaten almost anyone coming to the defence of, or that support, the Tate brothers,” Maniotis stated.

 

Andrew Tate’s legal strategy was candidly revealed in a 2022 interview on The Unplugged Alpha podcast. “I don’t need a reason. I don’t care if it costs me a million dollars to take a thousand dollars out of your bank, you’re going to be in court twice a month for the rest of your human years,” he said. “I will sue you for any and every reason, for ever. I will do that, I’m that guy. I’m petty and I’ve got a lot of money and a lot of time. It’s not about guilty, it’s not about why, it’s because I can.”

 

In response to the lawsuits, a citizen journalist named in the filings who posts under the handle CrayonMurders on X wrote, “We shared the truth. We shared opinions,” while announcing a fundraiser to cover legal fees. “If they win, it won’t stop here. It sets a dangerous precedent for free speech, journalism and every person who uses their voice to speak the truth. They want to scare people into silence.”

I haven't followed the Tate brothers imbroglio at all. Am I correct in thinking that they are a couple of modern day pimps, who instead of cruising red light districts in cars taking money off girls, have harnessed the internet and social media to do the same thing?

Funny how these sex allegations, rape etc etc always seems to pop up years after the fact, when people gain popularity or wealth and speak out against the status quo or ruffle some feathers.

Once again the classic case of accusing the other person of what they ( the Legal Establishment) do on a daily basis .

Why did you drag Russell Brand and Julan Assange into this? They are not the Tate brothers. 

[Cameroni]

It worked for Johnny Depp. He countersued and won big time. Maybe the Tate brothers can use this strategy for sucess too.

 

It should be noted that Tate and his brother were allowed to leave Romania and travelled to the US. With his many millions he could have attempted to evade justice. To their credit they returned to Romania to face the charges.

 

Why on earth anyone would be so in love with Romania, of all places, is a mystery though.

Nobody is 'defending' them, per se?

Until the Tate brothers go to court for a trial they are presumed innocent!

I don't necessarily need a trial verdict to shape my opinion of someone.

[SunnyinBangrak]

As Brand, Tommy and the Tates know, once you speak truth about the establishment, they will destroy you.

 

Starmers lies that the UK is proud of its free speech is probably the most evil lie in political history. Absolutely dire.

The fact that they returned to Romania tells me tha they believe they will be found innocent in Romania.

 

After all, they could have chosen not to return to Romania with all their millions. But the fact that they returned shows they clearly expect they will be exonerated.

 

However, if that happens, they will be extradited to the UK. Where the circus will begin all over again.

[ThreeCardMonte]

I knew this thread would strike a nerve with the 1k baht long time crowd always present on the forum.

 

Most here are way over the hill to follow the brothers advice.  The young man will be wise to follow most of their advice for modern times.

He, and his brother actually, have some excelllent advice that all men of almost all ages can follow. 

 

However, you have to keep your critical mind active, as some of their advice is plain wrong and coloured by their tremendous narcicissm.

I agree, they could have stayed in the US, where they may have  still been extradited, to the UK but it would be more difficult.

No defending them at all, but it would nice to hear what they have say in court, before social media find them guilty.

Yes, they both have US passports so they could have tried to avoid the trial in Romania. Even go on the run using the US as a launching pad.

 

However, the fact they returned to Romania seems to indicate they strongly believe they will come out victorious in that court case.

 

Must be very depressing, if they do win, to then be extradited to the UK to face the same process all over again.

Poor pearls, they're getting absolutely hammered today.

"Tommy and the Tates". Didn't they have a hit single in the 70's?
