Oh, how the mighty and rabid misogynists have fallen: In a Newsletter to his supporters on Tuesday, Andrew Tate, who is currently detained in Romania Charged with human trafficking, he claims he is being subjected to inhumane conditions in his prison cell, where he will remain until the end of this month and next.
“You’re trying to break me. Thrown into a cell with no light. Roaches, lice and bed bugs are my only friends at night,” Tate wrote. Seems…a bit dramatic for an alpha male like him. But it must be really, really difficult for a proudly misogynist influencer who once promised male followers he could teach them how to attract dozens of beautiful sex partners every night to now only have cockroaches and bugs for bedfellows.
Tate’s contribution, which appears almost like a poem or haiku, continues: “You are trying to pour hate into my heart. … They are trying to break my ironclad mind with unjust imprisonment.” But emphasizing that his guards believe in him and are “just doing their job,” he writes: “My guards know I’m innocent. You know it’s unfair. They see that I will never break and respect my determination,” he wrote. Sure buddy.
Tate’s claims about prison conditions come weeks after he was allegedly brief hospitalized while “suffering from certain diseases.”
Tate was arrested late last month at his and his brother’s property in Romania, where their suspected human trafficking company was headquartered. According to Romanian prosecutors, Tate is suspected of being part of a criminal group that lures women with false promises and sexually exploits them. subdue subjected her to “physical and psychological abuse through intimidation, constant surveillance, control and appeal of alleged debts” and forced her to make pornographic videos.

He has tried – unsuccessfully – to appeal his prison sentence, but following a Romanian judge’s recent verdict he will do so remain in detention until the end of next month. Between serial rejection by the legal system and owning his entire fleet of luxury cars confiscated by the Romanian government, and now, his descriptions of life in squalor in Romanian prison, his “Top G” persona seems to have evaporated. you hate to see it
Since Tate’s arrest on December 29, multiple reports have surfaced detailing a range of allegations of rape and violence against women by Tate. Vice World News reported earlier this month that Tate was under investigation by police in the UK in 2015 after he died accused of rape of two women and of beatings and assaults by another. Vice even provided audio and text messages in which Tate told a woman: “I love to rape you” among numerous other ominous and disturbing messages. Police referred the charges to Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) four years later after considerable delay, but CPS ultimately declined to prosecute Tate.
Tate denies all of these charges, including the human trafficking charges he faces in Romania. However, the very business platform described on his own website essentially boils down to human trafficking. In his viral videos he is proud advocates violence against women. As Jezebel reported last yearTate’s viral misogyny has reached young men and children in alarming numbers, requiring community teachers and educators to step in.
While his bodyguard speaks to the press about what all of the women Tate allegedly trafficked with were like just “young and dumb” and his supporters distribute a matrix theory I almost laugh after another one about Tate being so influential that governments around the world had to take him down. None of this is anywhere near as complicated as Tate or his sycophants like to tell themselves — there’s ample evidence he trafficked and physically and emotionally harmed dozens of women. He now faces accountability – not some high-level global conspiracy – as he should.
