Social media personality Andrew Tate is facing a new lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, who has accused him of sexual assault, battery, and gender violence. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, details allegations of abuse and an incident that allegedly took place at The Beverly Hills Hotel on 11 March 2025.
Allegations in the lawsuit
According to the legal complaint, Stern claims that Tate initially appeared as a "dream come true" but later became emotionally and physically abusive. The lawsuit describes a violent encounter at the hotel, where she alleges Tate physically assaulted and threatened her.
Stern claims that Tate struck her in the face and head, choked her to the point where she nearly lost consciousness, and threatened to kill her. She alleges that after the incident, she acted as though nothing was wrong in order to leave the hotel safely the following morning. She later sought medical attention and was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.
The lawsuit also states that Tate sent her a message warning, "If you ever betray me you will regret it." Stern reportedly waited until Tate had left the country before reporting the alleged assault to law enforcement.
Tate’s legal team responds
Tate’s attorney, Joseph McBride, has dismissed the lawsuit, calling it a "blatant cash grab" and accusing Stern of making the allegations for "money and attention." In a statement to the BBC, McBride asserted that Tate's legal team is prepared to defend him in court and that the allegations are baseless.
McBride also criticised Stern’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, who is currently representing multiple plaintiffs in sexual assault cases against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. McBride referred to Buzbee as a "lowlife bottom feeder."
Tate’s legal challenges
This lawsuit adds to Tate’s existing legal troubles. In 2022, he and his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested in Romania on charges of forming a criminal organisation, with Andrew Tate also facing rape charges. The brothers have also been accused of sexual assault in both the United States and the United Kingdom, though neither has been convicted of any crimes.
Stern’s lawsuit describes a pattern of alleged manipulation and grooming that began when she met Tate in Romania while visiting for a modelling job in mid-2024. She claims Tate initially presented himself as charming, promising financial security if they were together. However, the complaint alleges that his behaviour soon turned demeaning, with him referring to her as his "property" and verbally abusing her.
Legal actions and requested damages
Stern is seeking punitive damages, legal fees, and additional relief as determined by the court. She has also requested a restraining order against Tate, hoping the legal action will prevent him from continuing "a pattern of using and abusing women."
The lawsuit does not specify a monetary amount for damages but asks for statutory compensation and court costs.
Following the filing, Stern released a statement on Instagram acknowledging her struggles in coming to terms with the alleged abuse. Despite the allegations, she stated that she still loved Tate and found it difficult to accept what had happened.
As of now, Tate has not personally commented on the lawsuit.
László Krasznahorkai takes home the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature
Swedish Academy praises his dark, intense storytelling and visionary work
Known for Satantango, The Melancholy of Resistance and sprawling sentences
Prize includes £820,000 (₹1.03 crore) and Stockholm ceremony in December
Joins past laureates like Han Kang, Annie Ernaux, and Bob Dylan
Okay, so this happened. László Krasznahorkai, yes, the Hungarian novelist who makes reading feel almost like a slow, hypnotic descent into some bleak, hypnotic place, just won the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025. The Swedish Academy made the announcement on Thursday, describing his work as “compelling and visionary” and throwing in a line about “apocalyptic terror” fitting, honestly, given the his obsession with collapse, decay, chaos.

Why Krasznahorkai got the Nobel Prize in Literature
He was born 1954, Gyula, Hungary. Tiny town, right on the Romanian border. Quiet. Nothing much happening there. Maybe that’s why he ended up staring at life so much, thinking too hard. In 1985, he wroteSatantango, twelve chapters, twelve long paragraphs. It’s heavy, but also brilliant.
You read it and your brain sort of melts a little but in the best possible way. The Swedish Academy called him a Central European epic writer, in the tradition of Kafka and Thomas Bernhard.

His writing life: chaos, darkness, a bit of play
Krasznahorkai is not the type to do interviews. He’s private and rarely smiles in photos. People who have read his work, including Hari Kunzru and a few others, describe him as “bleak but funny.” Strange mix, but it fits his style.
His novels The Melancholy of Resistance, War and War, Seiobo There Below are not casual reads. They are intense, layered, almost architectural in their construction. Then there’s Herscht 07769, his new book. Dark, set in Germany, full of social unrest, and the story is threaded with references to Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, giving it a haunting, atmospheric backdrop.
Krasznahorkai has also had a long partnership with director Béla Tarr. Satantango was adapted into a seven-hour film, and it worked.

Reactions to the Nobel
Writers are reacting. Some saying “finally.” Some saying “he’s too intense for most people.” Some saying “I can’t imagine anyone else this year.” Krasznahorkai just keeps writing, keeps being him. Once, when someone asked him about his crazy long sentences, he shrugged and said something like: letters first, then words, then sentences, then longer sentences, and so on. He has spent decades just trying to make something beautiful out of chaos. That’s him, really.
The Nobel includes a medal, a diploma, and £820,000 (₹1.03 crore), with the ceremony taking place in Stockholm on 10 December. And now he’s standing alongside some huge names like Bob Dylan, Olga Tokarczuk, Han Kang. He’s not like them though. He’s a darker, twistier, strange, human. You read him and you feel something. Maybe unease. Maybe awe. Maybe both.
