Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrived in Florida last week from Romania, where they are facing charges of human trafficking, setting off a fervor of concern and anger – and a state-level criminal investigation.
Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan recently arrived in Florida from Romania, where they are facing charges of human trafficking, setting off a flurry of concern and anger – and a state-level criminal investigation. Andrew Tate gained notoriety as an online influencer and has amassed a massive following peddling sexist content about male dominance. He and Tristan were previously banned from leaving Romania after being arrested in 2022 and charged with forming an organized criminal group and human trafficking. The brothers, who have dual American and British citizenship, left Romania on a private jet at the end of February after Romanian authorities lifted travel restrictions on them. The brothers have denied all wrongdoing, and Andrew Tate has made contradictory claims on X about their plans to return to Romania or stay in Florida. Here’s how we got here. Andrew Tate, 38, has faced allegations of sexism, hateful behavior and violence against women since he was removed from the British reality TV show “Big Brother” in 2016 after video emerged that appeared to show him attacking a woman with a belt. Tate turned to social media, where he has cultivated a following of supporters – many of whom are young men and boys – promoting his troubling take on modern masculinity. His 36-year-old brother, Tristan, also appeared on a British reality TV show, “Shipwrecked: The Island,” and has developed an online persona similar to his brother’s.
