Andrew Tate threatened to sue an alleged victim for 249 million pounds for defamation after she accused him of rape and human trafficking. Meanwhile, he and his brother are currently behind bars in Romania on related charges following a December arrest. Moreover, the woman’s U.S. lawyers claim she received a cease and desist letter from him and his brother in December. To clarify, Tate’s threatened lawsuit equals $300 million in U.S. currency. What’s more is that the two brothers allegedly threatened to involve the victim’s family in the lawsuit as well.
Furthermore, a Romanian court recently found that Tate seemingly brainwashed women who worked for him and denied any trafficking. In addition, the brothers denied all claims and filed legal action against two women in Romania last April. While this occurred before Tate’s arrest, authorities believe he tried to intimidate witnesses and prevent any revelations.
“In April 2022, you falsely stated to a third party that our Client [Andrew Tate] human trafficked you, abused you and held you against your will,” the cease and desist letter read. “You have repeated false and defamatory statements to the police, the media, and another United States citizen about the Tate brothers.” On the other hand, lawyer Benjamin Bull said his client is a key witness against Tate in this legal battle. As such, he believes this letter is an egregious attempt to silence testimonies. “They want these young ladies to climb into a hole and hide, never come forward [or] describe what they saw and what happened to them,” he stated. Bull works for the National Centre on Sexual Exploitation in the U.S. “It’s clearly an effort to intimidate.”
Meanwhile, lawyers from Tate’s team confirmed the letter’s existence, but denied any such intimidation. In other news, officials took much of Tate’s assets after raids on his Romania properties. While the six alleged victims in the case who will testify are anonymous, they received huge hatred and even death threats from Tate supporters online after their identities leaked online. Also, no one brought specific charges against the brothers yet, but they remain in preventative custody as authorities investigate.
