Toxic online personality and proud misogynist Andrew Tate may be facing criminal trials over alleged sex crimes in Romania and the UK, but that hasn’t made him lower his profile.
The entrepreneur, 37, recently jumped onstage with rapper French Montana, heavily promotes dubious digital currencies and continues to spout hate and get into spats in the few places online where he isn’t banned.
Andrew and his younger brother Tristan, 36, are not permitted to leave Romania, where they were last year arrested for rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women — all charges which they deny.
The brothers often make themselves known on the streets of the capital, Bucharest, via their supercars.
In May, “Andrew Tate bought a car for 400,000 or 500,000 euros” — a purple Ferrari SF Spider. “Tristan got a Maserati.”

“[Andrew and Tristan] drive through the main thoroughfares of Bucharest in their sports cars,” Iosefina Pascal, a TV journalist in the city who covers the brothers, told The Post.
Former professional kickboxer Andrew — a dual UK and US citizen — recently bragged online about buying the $2 million Aston Martin for Tristin’s birthday on July 15.
This week, a judge renewed an order which prevents the Tates leaving Romania. It was a quick reversal of a ruling which had briefly allowed them to travel throughout the European Union after they had been under house arrest.
Following the initial lifting of the travel ban, Tate crowed on X, “Where do I want to go? I can go anywhere I want.”
His flex was not exactly true, as he had to remain within the EU, and is much less so now he is again confied to Romania. The brothers also face charges of sexual aggression in the UK, for an in a case which dates back more than a decade.
Tristan faces the same charges as his older brother. But the precarious circumstances have not led to the keeping of a low profile.
Last week, via X, Andrew Tate went after six female coworkers from the Australian company tbh Skincare. They had posted a light-hearted TikTok video in which members of the group each pointed out and celebrated their various accessories.
Tate responded as if it was a personal affront. “If you do not escape The Matrix [Tate’s word for the 9 – 5 corporate world], women like this will be your boss,” he Tweeted
Then he busted out a white supremacist trope by adding, “Zog [Zionist occupied government] corp loves emasculating men by forcing them to listen to semi sentient females.”
The Aussie skincare workers are not alone in getting noticed and commented on by Tate. “He sends hundreds of Tweets per day,” Jack Beeston, an attorney with McCue Jury & Partners, a London firm representing four women who are suing Andrew Tate for assault charges that include rape, told The Post.
Regarding that matter, Tate’s representatives have maintained that that there was “no evidence to support the allegations.”
Though Tate has been banned from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, added Beeston, “Musk stays with him,” as his Twitter account remains active.
The brothers’ publicist did not comment. Their lawyer did not respond to a request for comment about allegations.
Andrew recently posted a message on Twitter stating: “In the midst of our toughest legal battles, my brother and I stood united and unwavering. No matter how formidable the challenge, our bond and resilience carried us through every storm, proving that together we are unstoppable.”
Besides ripping into other people’s posts, Tate goes online to push businesses that include cryptocurrencies and online training programs, Real World and War Room, which promote get-rich-quick money-making schemes and the toxic masculinity for which he is all too well known.
Just don’t look for Real World in the app store. “Real World has been removed from the Google and Apple application stores,” Beeston said. “There are allegations that the app is [possibly] a pyramid scheme where you make money by bringing people in.”
Tate’s reputation does not seem to put off the rapper French Montana, as was made apparent on July 14. “Andrew Tate went on stage with French Montana during his appearance at a music festival called Beach Please! [which took place along the Black Sea in Romania],” Pascal told The Post.
“But it was not just to hype up the audience. It was calculated. Andrew gave a short speech about ‘escaping the Matrix,’ which was live-streamed online, and suddenly his cryptocurrency [known as $Daddy] went up more than 20 percent.”
Tate is the face, if not the owner, of $Daddy, which accounts for one of his businesses these days. On the morning of July 14, it sold for less than 12-cents per coin. By the evening of July 15, it hit more than 15-cents.
The sum does not sound like much — unless you own millions of the coins. According to CoinDesk, Tate’s crypto wallet, which had not sold any of the coins as of this past June, held $65 million of $Daddy last month.
“The [cryptocurrencies] he appears to be involved with are known as meme coins or s—t coins or alt coins,” said Jaime Tahsin, co-author of “Clown World: Four Years Inside Andrew Tate’s Manosphere,” out on October 8.
“They are promoted by celebrities. [Various publicity stunts] cause drops and rises in price. He seems very closely linked to $Daddy. He also promoted $RNT, which [as is confirmed on Binance] stands for Real N-word Tate. He promoted one called $Sluts.”
It is easy to believe that the Tates may not be as affluent as they once were. Bank accounts have been frozen in the UK — regarding the Tates’ banking practices, their lawyer has stated that “whatever happened was totally orthodox” amid allegations of being serious “tax and Value Added Tax evaders,” which Andrew is said to have bragged about in an online video, which was later used as evidence against him.
Additionally, luxury cars and designer watches have been seized by the Romanian government. Nevertheless, according to Beeter, “[Andrew Tate] overstates his wealth, but I think he is not broke. I think he is well off.”
That seems to be the appearance Andrew and Tristan, who live together in their Bucharest compound, aim to put across.
“Last week Andrew Tate was spotted with a new girlfriend or chick or whatever you want to call her at a very expensive restaurant in Bucharest,” Pascal said, referencing a steakhouse called Ferma Baciu.
“Then, as reported in June, a girl with them had an accident in Comarnic, a mountain town that is [around 75 miles] from Bucharest. They were there with ATVs and eight chicks and some driving under the influence.
“One of the chicks, a passenger, broke her arm. The girl driving didn’t even have a license — and she was American.”
As for the Tate brothers ongoing mobility situation, according to a text message sent by their publicist, “the judiciary control limitations are reviewed every 60 days.”
Beester is not optimistic about a re-reversal. “The fear is that [Andrew] can go to a country without extradition,” back to Romania, Beester said.
Tate’s lawyer insisted to the BBC his client would not take off or try fleeing justice.
“There are countries within Europe where he can avoid extradition,” said Beester. “If he went to one of those countries, though, he would be violating bail conditions. If he did that, it would make sense for him to stay permanently.”
