Andrew Tate gets taken into Romanian custody
The infamous podcaster known as Andrew Tate is taken in by authorities for legal consequences.
January 30, 2023
Everyone knows about Andrew Tate’s views. He never hesitates to make sure his opinions are heard, but this behavior is steadily spreading to the minds of other men and boys who think they deserve to own women.
The infamous podcaster, who has been repeatedly broadcasted across social platforms due to the many controversial opinions he publicly vocalizes, has, once again, fallen upon the media’s spotlight. After initially going viral for misogynistic and sexist comments, he’s now been accused of several offenses: human trafficking, starting an organized crime group, and rape. These allegations have put him, as well as his brother and two others, into custody in a Romanian jail while the investigation continues. The Tates were arrested on Dec. 29., 2022.
So far, Andrew Tate has had many of his 33 cars and $4 million of personal items confiscated by the Romanian police force to be investigated. These cars are said to have possibly been bought with money he earned from human sex trafficking – not from his online presence or kickboxing career. Allegedly, there have been six women found in Tate’s many homes across the world. These women were said to have been held against their will and were sexually exploited.
Tate’s previous tweets, TikToks, and Youtube videos do nothing but prove his possible guilt. He has a history of saying things like “sexually assaulted women should take responsibility for being assaulted,” “women shouldn’t be allowed to drive,” “it is okay for a man to hit a woman,” and making many other blatantly offensive comments. Even with this history, Tate still has a large amount of fans worshiping his every move. These fans spend their days trying to be just like Andrew, though his opinions have a tendency to be harmful towards women.
Tate’s lawyers claim that there is no evidence against their client, saying that other than victim statements, the police have no true evidence that could place Tate in prison. Although these lawyers believe there to be no evidence, that didn’t stop the court from denying the Tates’ appeal. Their lawyers also argued that Andrew Tate’s online persona isn’t his true personality, just something he came up with. However, as with many online personalities, it’s possible that even if online and offline Andrew Tate are different, their beliefs are bound to be similar, if not the same. After all, even with the help of social media, it’s impossible to completely change your personality.
The investigation has uncovered multiple women who sent in reports of rape and strangling, allegedly done by Tate, that were previously ignored. Each one of these complaints were dismissed because they were sent in weeks or months after the alleged assault, so there was no evidence.
While this is the first time the investigation against the Tate brothers has truly stormed the media, it’s not the first time the brothers and their belongings have been investigated. The investigations started in 2018, when Andrew’s house was raided and he was put in jail for two days.
Fans of Tate, and Tate himself, have been trying to find any reason to prove that Tate is innocent and should be released. They have a theory that Tate was attacked by agents of “The Matrix” and he should be released because of it. They also believe that they were framed, and that this is all a plan to get Tate locked away because he offended someone. While it’s impossible to say whether or not this is true, it is highly unlikely.
“Some of Tate’s fanbase follows in his footsteps, causing most to be toxic or cruel,” Peyton Cullum, 9, said.
These fans believe that even if proven guilty, Tate shouldn’t be imprisoned. To them, women are nothing but objects they can use for their entertainment. Fans even went as far as to show up to the jail Tate is being held to protest his arrest. However, it isn’t just the Romanian fans protesting, people in Greece have also stormed the streets in support of Tate.
“I believe that Andrew Tate should remain imprisoned because he should be held accountable for his actions and justice should be served,” Keeley Jacobs, 9, says.
Tate has multiple recordings and posts where he openly talks about how he treats women, including one in which his bodyguard confirmed that he matches the loverboy method: seducing a young and vulnerable person and allowing them to believe that they are special and that they are loved, and then sexually exploiting them.
“After everything that happened and all the things he said, him being arrested was kind of inevitable,” Mikaela Kuzelka, 9, said.

Personally, I never liked Andrew Tate. He has always made very sexist comments about woman and is a controversial topic all together. It is upsetting to me to see how some younger boys look up to him because it makes me wonder what they will grow up to be like. I think him going to prison is karma finally coming to get him back for everything he’s said and done.

Andrew tate is a very controversial person. Many people like him and many others don’t. There is many reasons why people like and dislike him, each reason with a good argument. Andrew Tate makes a lot of comments on women and how men are better than women. I do not think he would commit human trafficking.

Andrew tate is a very controversial person. Most people do not like him but it is up to you. He makes a lot of sexist and mysoginist comments. But I don’t know if Andrew Tate is proven guilty or not.

Andrew tate is a very controversial person. Wether or not you like him is up to you and your values. I might not like him, but saying I fully disagree with everything he says is a lie. However I do believe that even though he makes a lot of sexist and mysoginist comments, he wouldn’t have committed human trafficking. He has a old mindset that sees woman as weak and vulnerable, maybe even a asset. But I do not believe he’d be capable of harming one in the way they said he did.

Maddie, how can I say this? I can clearly see the fury that fueled this article! Your argument is so valid. I think he deserved to finally be in jail for all of his actions: both trafficking and his podcasts. I am happy that they investigated further to uncover some evidence to charge him from something. Although, I do believe that what he discusses in his podcasts should have been enough.

Andrew Tate has been a very controversial person starting from 2022. From a massive ego to extreme misogyny, he has created quite the title for himself. So, his arresting was quite the news to the world. Well deserved, but quite random. This article talks more about the interesting situation.

In my opinion, Andrew Tate is a terrible person. I say that he doesn’t deserve any attention on the internet. He is just a bad person. I liked the article. It was really well written and informative.

I really liked this article because it summarized many things I didn’t know happened recently. I haven’t heard many recent news about Andrew Tate since he got arrested. What I like about this article is that it didn’t include an opinion on the situation it just stated the news. I don’t know if Andrew Tate is proven guilty or not but if he is then that is really bad. Before we come to conclusions though I think we should wait to know if he actually is guilty because if he isn’t then there’s got to be a whole mess with the Romanian police
