Andrew Tate arrested for human trafficking in Romania

And all because he lost his temper after being humiliated by Greta.

Oh this is interesting. The authorities must have evidence that they’re a flight risk. Plus, a significant danger to society to refuse bail & as well as an appeal.

They are not messing around. You don't say someone's country is great for crime as a foreign national and expect not to find out.

He is now trying to take the same approach that Alex Jones did, he's claiming his persona is an act, merely a character.

He is clearly desperate.

If he's a character then how does that work for all his followers and supporters? They now have an idol with feet of clay.

It also means more boys will do that old abuser trick of "oh I was only joking."

He's the Emperor's new clothes - and hopefully soon to be prosecuted and locked up for his crimes.
The problem with boasting about all the money, resources and influence you have is that it makes the authorities decide that you could use them to flee if on bail.
So he and his thick as mince brother are going to stay locked up where they belong for the next month or so.

Nogbreaks · 11/01/2023 12:59

@dolor that smacks of panic - and his real followers aren't going to like the idea that 'Top G' was just a little man playing a role to get their money

If anything, that's worse. He knew it was hateful bullshit but thought he'd make some money inspiring hatred and encouraging rape. Even though he doesn't partake, being a nice chap.

If he says it's some post modern commentary, I hope they throw away the key.

@MrsTerryPratchett he and his brother are two very nasty pieces of work. I hope they both rot in that Romanian prison for the rest of their lives.

Didn't Lorraine Kelley say a similar thing to explain why she shouldn't have to pay more tax? Not that I'm saying the two are similar. it worked for her.

@JustCleaningtheBBQ no idea, she is not even in the same wavelength as the tates, seems completely irrelevant here.

Just heard this audio from first time he was arrested, saying the more she hated sex, the more he liked it. How was he found innocent?!

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/01/2023 16:24

How is he fucking allowed to poison young men with this shit? And make money from it? He's basically being paid to produce rapists.

I've seen a growing number of tate posts in RSE teaching groups. There have been for a while and resources and fact sheets have been circulating but the news has brought it to the fore.

Are the posts advocating for Tate's behaviour, or are they using the opportunity to show HOW NOT to behave etc?.

Oh definitely v concerns but slightly at a lack of how best to tackle without advertising him further.

There was a really good piece on woman's hour today. Michael Conroy of men at work has been on a few bbc things about this. He actively tackles misogynistic attitudes among young male teens while also looking at how to encourage better male role models.

milkyaqua · 21/01/2023 22:26

Andrew and Tristan Tate both locked up for another 30 days!

ThePoshUns · 21/01/2023 23:19

Well done Romania

Deathraystare · 22/01/2023 09:54

I remember coming across him on you tube and he was saying Romania was a great country and how nothing happened to Romanian women, there was no crime because they were protected. Apparently not from him he makes money from Cam girls and of course there is the traffiking.....

123ROLO · 22/01/2023 13:02

Still an unsettling amount of support for him online and victim blaming.

Apparently this is just proof of the "matrix".

He 'predicted' this, which makes him some sort of messiah.

Funny. If I go out and commit a crime, then 'predict' I'll go to prison. Would that be proof of the 'matrix'?

Thesenderofthiscard · 22/01/2023 18:54

Maybe the Romanian authorities have had it with Tates claims he moved there because of their weak rape laws

ThePoshUns · 01/02/2023 21:53

Excellent, thanks for the update.

Pedallleur · 01/02/2023 22:09

Wonder if Greta has a little smile to herself when she wakes up. Think I'll go for a walk Andrew. Something you can't do until March.
