Andrew Tate, a social media influencer known for his misogynistic views, is facing a new lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, who accuses him of sexual assault and battery. This adds to the existing legal trouble Tate faces in Romania, where he is charged with human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. His brother, Tristan Tate, is also implicated. Stern's lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, describes an incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel where Tate allegedly choked and beat her, resulting in a post-concussion diagnosis. Tate's attorney denies the allegations, calling the lawsuit a 'money grab'. The lawsuit details a pattern of abuse, starting with Tate's initially charming behavior, which later turned abusive, including threatening messages and claims of ownership. Tate's attorney dismisses the evidence as falsified. The Tate brothers, dual U.S. and British citizens, were arrested in Romania in late 2022 and indicted last year. Andrew Tate also faces a rape charge. They deny all allegations. Stern met Tate in July 2024 and was invited to Romania to model for his cryptocurrency meme coin. After returning to the U.S., Tate's communications became threatening and manipulative. The lawsuit details a violent encounter at a hotel where Tate allegedly beat and choked Stern during sex, threatening to kill her if she crossed him. Tate, a former kickboxer, has amassed millions of followers online despite being banned from several platforms for hate speech. He and his brother are vocal supporters of Donald Trump. The brothers recently returned to Romania after a trip to the U.S., where a Florida investigation was opened into their activities. Four British women are also suing Tate in the U.K. Stern stated her fear in coming forward but felt compelled to speak out. Her attorney praised her courage.
