Andrew Tate detained in Romania over UK sex offense charges

The women, represented by the UK law firm McCue Jury and Partners, detailed accusations, including violent rapes, serious physical assault, and controlling and coercive behaviour.

Tate's spokesperson emphasized that both Andrew and Tristan Tate "unequivocally deny all allegations and decry what they perceive as an exploitative use of the legal system."

Tate was formerly a kickboxer, but recently he has been gaining fame for his controversial commentary, he has been expelled from various social media platforms and sparked concern from advocacy groups, parents, teachers, and counter-terrorism police.

Referred to as the "king of toxic masculinity," Tate is influential among young males, associated with right-wing ideologies, and openly identifies as misogynistic and sexist.

He recently commented on John Cena’s nude stunt which went viral on social media within moments of it airing on screen at the Oscars. For which Tate made a statement saying, “I’m sure John Cena, when he wanted to become a wrestling superstar and get muscly, didn’t intend on ending up walking around naked or putting on a dress," in a video posted online.
