Warning: Graphic content
Over the last few months, we’ve been alarmed to witness the spread of significant misinformation online in defence of misogynist influencer, accused rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate and his co-pimp brother Tristan.
We could respond to these Tate defenders ourselves. But, we thought it would be even more effective to share Tate's own words - the most damning evidence that can be offered against him.

Tate and his brother Tristan have been charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. Seven women said the brothers had misled them that they wanted to engage in romantic relationships but then forced them to produce pornographic content to be distributed online.
In March last year, a European arrest warrant was issued against the brothers pertaining to allegations of sexual aggression spanning the years 2012 - 2015. In August, Romanian police expanded their investigation to include trafficking minors, sex with a minor and attempting to influence witnesses, with prosecutors alleging 35 victims (including a minor). Four alleged British victims have also brought a civil case against Tate.
Andrew and Tristan Tate on pimping out women
In this clip, Tate instructs men on how to pimp out women. He outlines his strategy for finding and recruiting women, and how he uses the 'loverboy' or 'Romeo pimp method to traffic women by getting women to fall in love with him and then later entrapping them:
There is no such thing as having girls work for you who you have not f*cked. It’s impossible. You have to f*ck them, and they have to love you. It’s essential to the business. You can’t get the girl to work for you if you haven’t f*cked her before. The PhD [Pimping Hoes Degree] course is my recruitment system. I don’t mention webcam until after I’ve had sex with a girl.
Andrew Tate's brother Tristan says he cannot understand why more men do not pimp out their girlfriends.
Andrew Tate brags about branding victims with tattoos that say "Tate property" or "Tate owned".
Andrew Tate explains how having recruited victims into producing pornographic content, he keeps the bulk of their earnings.

On Violence Against Women
In this video, Tate instructs a woman to show her bruises to the camera and explain how she got them after beating her with a belt. When the woman appears to leave the room and lock the door behind her, he shouts, "That's right, lock the door you bitch. You knew I was going to beat the f*ck out of you. If you behaved I wouldn't have to hit you, would I?"
Andrew Tate tells a woman he allegedly raped and strangled how much he enjoyed doing it.
Andrew Tate describes how he uses violence to control women: “Slap, slap, grab, choke, shut up bitch, sex. These are the basic moves of pimping.”
On predation on minors

Andrew Tate's brother Tristan teaches men how to prey on virgins.
Two schoolgirls have come forward with screenshots showing Andrew Tate sent them private messages on social media. According to Tate's 'PhD' program - aka his 'Pimping Hoes Degree' - the first step to recruiting women and girls for his pornographic webcam business, where he is alleged to have trafficked a number of women, is to approach them on Instagram.
Tate sums up his feelings for women in the video below.
While it has been suggest Andrew Tate's power and influence are waning, for as long as teen boys continue to follow him and for as long as influential men continue to go out in support of him publicly, we will continue to call him out.
