Andrew Tate pointed a gun at a woman’s face and told her that if she did not do what he said, “There’ll be hell to pay,” according to one of four female victims suing the social media personality and self-proclaimed misogynist.
Court documents obtained by the BBC in Tate’s U.K .trial also detail allegations of rape, assault and threats of murder.
The case involves incidents that took place between 2013 and 2015 in the southern English towns of Luton and Hitchin.
One victim claims Tate threatened to kill her, another said he claimed to have killed people in the past and a third says he threatened to kill anyone she interacted with.
Tate denied the allegations, labelling them a “pack of lies” and “gross fabrications” in a written defence to the High Court. The internet personality is currently embroiled in numerous legal battles concerning a slew of accusations, including in the U.K., the U.S. and Romania.
Allegations against Tate in his U.K. trial include the rape and strangulation of two employees at his webcam business in 2015. According to the BBC, the strangulations of both female victims were so severe and repetitive that they developed noticeably red eyes from burst capillaries, a tell-tale sign of asphyxia.
Tate is also accused of telling a third victim that he was deciding whether or not rape her, before doing so and strangling her.
