I hereby confirm I'm giving Amos Pictures and Channel 4 exclusive

documentary access to my life and I'm not working with anybody else.

I look forward to making the documentary on

the true story of Andrew Tate.

Absolutely no screens or reflections of screens, please.

I'm checking there's no reflections of my computer screen.

I think that's fair. Would you agree that's fair?

You have a multibillion dollar empire,

why would you give away unfiltered access?

It's just a very simple blanket rule

that allows nothing bad to happen for anybody.

There's nothing bad on it.

He is an internet personality, gone from complete obscurity

to being one of the most googled people in the world.

He's got millions and millions of followers. He's talking to young men

about getting their lives in order. He does manage to speak to

teenage boys in a way that few people do.

Tonight on Piers Morgan Uncensored,

one of the most infamous men in the world.

Andrew Tate's misogynistic tirades have been viewed

billions of times online.

I'm going to speak to my good friend Piers.

Yeah, he got a lot of heat for our last interview.

"Bang out the machete,

"boom in her face..."

BOTH: And grip her by the neck.

Shut up, bitch!

It's not hard to misunderstand it. It is. Whether it's consensual

or not, it's a very ugly way to talk about women.

I just tweeted at him and told him to put the kettle on.

Piers Morgan.

Him and I disagree on a few things, it seems.

What is your view of women? I'm a realist. What is your real view

of women? I not only love women, I adore women. I have good

relationships with women. I've never had a negative interaction with

a female ever since I've been dubbed the biggest misogynist in the world.

Where... Please, let me finish. Sorry. Also, there's not been

a single woman who's accused me of a crime, not a single woman

has accused me of rape, not a single woman has come out and said anything

from my entire past of 36 years I've done anything wrong, ever.

KNOCKING

Controversial online influencer

and self-confessed misogynist...

Former kickboxer Andrew Tate and his younger brother, Tristan Tate,

have been detained by Romanian authorities.

They have been accused of trafficking women...

Forming an organised crime group,

human trafficking and rape.

Andrew.

Come here, boy.

Come here, Andrew.

My baby boy.

Andrew, come here.

Look at the camera, boy.

Hey, Andrew.

My dad is American

and my mum is British.

You ain't never too big for Daddy.

You come here to Daddy.

Me, my brother Tristan and my sister

Janine were born in America.

My father was a chess master. That was his job after he retired from

the Air Force, he was a professional chess player.

Very, very smart guy.

My sole focus in life was chess,

was to play chess three, four hours a day.

I had a high rating

and I used to compete with adults at the age of eight.

My dad's basic tenet was,

your mother is in charge of

keeping you alive, but I'm

in charge of teaching you how to be a man and conquer the world.

So we have different roles.

If I fucked up, he hit me.

He never beat me.

He never abused me. But there was

certainly a realm in which

if I fucked up, I'd get slapped. It only happened twice, maybe, ever.

I was raised in a way in which

I really viewed my father as a superhero,

but that was also based on the fact that he did not

submit to the will of my mother. Right?

If you have a man who's scared of his wife,

can he truly be a superhero?

I never saw my mum tell my dad

to clean the dishes. I never saw him take shit from my mum, ever.

If she stepped to him even 1%,

he was like, "Bitch, see you next month. I'm out." She was crying

her eyes out and he'd just fucking vanish on her, cos that's who

he was. So I grew up understanding a man doesn't compromise.

My father got diagnosed with

narcissistic personality disorder,

and I do believe he had it, but...

And people say I have it, but I don't.

When you have true narcissistic personality disorder,

you truly believe you're almost invincible.

He was constantly travelling the world, drinking, playing chess,

fucking girls, doing whatever he wanted to do,

and one day, my mum had enough of it.

At the age of 11, my mother and father split up.

My mum took me back to, uh, Luton. Great place.

An area called Marsh Farm,

which is the worst area, the worst town.

So it's like as bad as you can get.

I mean, obviously, I was very, very young.

I don't think I was necessarily too upset by it.

My father was very realistic with me and he said,

"Look, I'm still going to see you,

"but you're going to England. It is what it is."

But it did alter my life trajectory,

because I lost my chess coach.

We had no money. Mother was on the dole.

She got a job as a dinner lady one time. That was it. We were raised on

$300 a month. I'd grow up around a bunch of other poor kids,

and we'd be walking to school or walking to college,

a Ferrari would drive past and they'd go, "Oh, cool, Ferrari!"

And I'd say, "Doesn't that annoy you?"

And they're like, "What do you mean?" And I'd be like,

"How does he have 400 grand for a car?

"Aren't you annoyed that there's people out there living a lifestyle

"that we can't ever aspire to?"

I was bored. I had no money.

I'm a smart guy. I'm not playing chess any more, right?

What do you do with your life? What's there to do?

21-year-old Anglo-American Andrew Tate

is a straight-talking entrepreneur,

with his own advertising company in Luton.

I'm very mentally strong. If I want to achieve something,

I will achieve it. I've never been in a situation in my life so far,

in my 21 years, where I really

wanted something and didn't get it.

The concept of the show was for you to go

trekking round Southeast Asia,

and you have to try and convince the other travellers

that you're the best traveller of that week.

I remember seeing this guy from a mile off.

He was pretty muscly and he had

this kind of, like, wife-beater tank top on.

Hiya. Andrew.

I remember feeling like he was quite serious.

It kind of felt like he was holding back

and almost, like, observing us, first of all.

I think that Andrew's arrogant.

He's openly arrogant, though.

He admits to it. Yeah.

To my face, he was always nice, always pleasant.

He was my mate on the show.

The main reason I'm voting for Chloe is because I don't think

anyone else will. So, really, I'm just trying to manipulate her,

put her on the side, make her a usable weapon at some point.

Andrew used to say stuff at night on his own in the camera,

explaining his game plan, how he's going to try and make lies

and turn this person against that person.

I am playing the game.

I'm not interested in the money at the end. I'm interested in winning.

I want to win just so I can go home and say, "Yeah, I won.

"I manipulated them all."

Obviously, Andrew wanted to be famous.

I think he just wanted to...

..get his face shown, I guess.

The start of it all, I think.

I was never content having a normal life.

I wanted an exceptional life.

I didn't want a normal car,

a normal house, a normal girlfriend. I didn't want none of that.

I was annoyed, I was just angry.

So for me, fighting was just an outlet.

If I had my way and I could build myself as an individual,

I would have never chosen to be a fighter.

I think fighting is one of those things that

you're either cursed with or you're not.

Unfortunately, I was born with a mind that is hard to occupy,

and I find everything boring.

I find the cinema boring, I find clubbing boring.

Conversations, family dinners, festivals, holidays,

all the crap that everyone enjoys bores the life out of me.

What's he got on you? Nothing.

The only thing that keeps me mildly entertained

is something which is so dangerous that I'm scared.

It's a really difficult world.

In the beginning, the first ten, 15 fights,

you really get nothing.

You're called an amateur. You fight for free.

The fighting industry

is a way to get known

and to be somebody

and to make that first step.

It's like people who have a difficult life,

the ring can be escape to a better life in the future.

Either you do it because you like it

or you want to become famous.

And I think in Andrew's case,

he wanted to become famous.

I hate training.

I hate fighting. This is fucking war.

I was born for this. I have no choice.

I'm in there to kill. That's it, pain, that's all I know.

Back then, you could already see that

he knew how to handle the camera.

Any time, any place, any country,

it's on, I'm knocking you out.

Hello, this is Andrew Tate,

I am the ISKA Kickboxing World Champion.

First video Tate did for me, I sent him a pair of gloves.

You should go buy a pair

and you can message me and say,

"Andrew, you saved my life.

"Thank you for telling me what to do.

"I can't live without your guidance.

"I'm so glad I have you to look up to."

Because they're actually a great set of gloves.

He did add this sort of, like, humour to the videos,

but I think people get the hump

quite easy and they just sort of found him...

He was just quite arrogant.

While you're best in the world at nothing, you're not even the best

in your town at anything, I'm the best in the world, twice.

I quite liked his marketing skills. A lot of people said, you know,

this doesn't look good. But, well,

I saw the sort of bigger picture, really.

Sidekick also sends me...

..lots of fucking money.

I had to sort of stop and think, you know, I'm growing a brand.

Do I really, you know... I've got to gauge whether,

was it the right thing to do?

But, yeah, I sort of always went with it.

One of the videos, I think he was drinking rum and beer

with his brother.

You know, and sort of, I'd get messages saying,

"That looks so unprofessional..."

So, Sidekick boxing gloves...

..are the best.

..but then, I'd get another message saying,

"That's marketing gold." It gave so much controversy

that I just thought, "This is good."

This is a magazine

with me on the front being amazing,

because I'm the best kickboxer in the world.

Four... He just wanted to be famous and I think he just

wanted to be rich... ..six, seven, eight...

..but I don't think he probably realised to what extent

of how famous he would go,

and then the complications that that would bring.

I met him in Luton.

I was just out with a friend.

I got chatting to Andrew.

Just talked about how his dad was really intelligent

and was, like, a chess champion

and how intelligent he thought he was.

Just seemed like a normal arrogant young guy, I guess.

He was charming and I was young.

We get a taxi back to his...

..and that was the first time we slept together.

I stayed over the night

and then he called me a taxi in the morning,

and then I saw him again a few months later.

He was working as a doorman in a nightclub.

He just said, after his shift, he would come over to mine,

then we could see each other again.

He came over...

..and that was when the incident happened.

We were having sex,

then he put his hands round my throat and started strangling me.

Kind of like crushing my windpipe,

erm, until I lost consciousness.

And then, when I came back round again,

it was just really, like, it was just confusion.

Erm, he was still having sex with me.

Don't know how long I was kind of like knocked out for, but, yeah,

I completely lost consciousness, which I assume he knew,

because I probably would have been, like, limp and stuff.

I just forgot even where I was and, like,

who he was and what was going on.

I just laid there completely still,

because I was quite scared that he was going to do it again and,

erm, yeah, maybe I wouldn't wake up the second time he did it.

There's this, like, manic look in his eyes,

like, dark and angry.

He said that he was going to kill me.

He told me that he owned me. And he'd pin me up against the wall.

And then he left, and that was the last time I saw him.

It was maybe more on the Monday that

the kind of injuries appeared.

All of the whites of my eyes went completely red.

That kind of scared me.

That made me think, oh, like, maybe what happened was quite bad.

It was consensual sex up until that point, so, erm...

I mean, I now know that it's not a grey area,

but at the time, to me, it kind of was, because I was so young.

I said to Tristan, we need to discuss money.

We need to work out a way we can get rich.

I had a car, but what's that worth? Nothing. I'm big and strong,

but I'm already fighting, I can't think of anything else to do

with that. The only thing I had was because I'd been fighting

all around the world, I had these six girlfriends.

What do I own? What do I possess?

So I've got these seven hot chicks.

You'd win the world title, you'd fuck a ring girl.

She falls in love with you. You're the big millionaire in London.

Of course, she thinks you're living the balling life.

You're in some tiny, tiny apartment, with the door locked.

And I'm kind of racking my brain,

and by absolute coincidence,

I'm going around the internet and I saw in the corner,

"Talk to live girls now."

So I clicked on it and there's some chick there on a computer. "Hi."

And I was like, my girls can do that.

So that was the very beginning. That was the eureka moment.

I walked into my brother's bedroom and I said, "We're going to start

"a webcam company." That was the beginning of it all.

I messaged my six girlfriends and told them,

they're all coming to live with me.

Two of them agreed to stay.

The beginning of my cam empire

was this tiny little apartment. Me and my two girlfriends.

All you have to do is like this video,

share it and tag me in it.

Master Silk Payroll, I'm officially a pimp now.

I've moved on into the pimp realm.

The interesting thing about it was

these girls were so...

..inept, from a business perspective.

Like, if they were sitting there

talking to an old guy and the old guy would say,

"What kind of guys do you like?",

she'd say, "I like young guys, with good body and money,"

to some old fat dude.

You need to play into the fantasy.

So I'm training these girls,

and it got to the point where it was easier if I just typed myself.

I sat the girl on camera,

gave her a keyboard that wasn't plugged in,

and she'd just go like this.

And I sat behind the screen

and I finessed the dudes -

me, myself. I was a cam girl.

So that became my new life, right?

I went from kickboxer

to fucking pretend girl on the internet.

So I'm just typing, typing until

the girls learn, and once the girls learn, they can do it themselves.

Then I thought, "I need some more chicks."

I grew up in a small town

near Luton.

Been in a council estate

my whole life, pretty much.

My parents separated when I was five.

After I left school, I did loads of jobs,

pubs, bars, completely normal jobs.

Everything was just, like, minimum wage,

pay cheque to pay cheque.

I wanted to escape out of

a small little town

and do something with my life.

I was 20. I got a random message

on Facebook from somebody who said,

"I have this really good opportunity for you.

"I know this guy.

"He's really nice and, like,

"you can make �2,000 a week."

So I'm like, whoa, OK,

I'll speak to this person.

I got a message on Facebook from Andrew Tate.

He sent me a video of a blonde girl.

Fully dressed on camera. One hour.

An hour with one guy, making a ton of money -

�3 a minute.

Just typing to some guy. This is the easiest money in the world.

If you're a female and you're not doing this,

you need to check yourself.

He said, the first two weeks are going to be training.

After that, you work alone, and the more men you have,

the more money you make, as simple as that.

Basically, just milking as much

money as possible from these men.

One girl got �1,000

on Christmas Day.

He said, there's three different ways to work.

Just chat fully clothed, be friendly.

Expect to make �100 a shift.

Get tits out, etc,

get around 200 a shift.

Full-on lesbian sex with another chick,

make crazy money.

You would work from my studio,

which is one of the rooms in my apartment,

and we have a roof terrace, too.

Didn't look like he had great taste,

but it looked like a nice apartment, definitely.

He said at the beginning we would go on holiday together,

like, all the girls.

We would go to Thailand and it would just be a really fun experience.

He seemed like somebody that I could trust.

We did training for, like,

a few days. He was sat at the computer.

I was laying on the bed,

with the pretend keyboard.

He was training me to basically

scam men as much as I can,

as much as possible, out of money.

The first evening was a good experience.

I had fun, I didn't do anything that

I wasn't comfortable with doing.

The next time I see him again

was at the Hilton Hotel.

The plan was to stay there

for a few days and work.

All the girls that were there were drinking.

Near the end of the shift,

at that point, I don't know how much I had drunk,

but it was a lot,

to the point I was, like, crying,

throwing up a little bit as well.

I was a bit upset.

Me and my boyfriend had argued.

Andrew, he was really nice.

Um, I remember vividly,

he sat down next to me on the floor.

He put his arm around me and he said, like,

"Don't worry, I'm going to take care of you.

"I'm going to be like your big brother.

"You don't have to worry about things."

And to me, that was really nice,

because I've always wanted a big brother.

I'm just, like,

drunk, tired, I need to go to bed.

He says to me and the other girl,

"One of you fucking bitches need to sleep in the bed with me."

The other girl, she said,

"No, I'm not going to,"

and then she got straight into the other bed.

At that point, I really trusted him.

I got into bed

and tried to go to sleep.

Um...

And then...

..I remember that's when...

..so that's when he first sexually assaulted me.

It was that night, in the hotel room.

Um, I was so drunk at that point, I...

I just remember...

I remember him, like...

..having sex with me...

..but I was, like,

going in and out of consciousness.

And then, it was, it was done.

He stopped.

And then I just, like, KO'd.

When I woke up, I immediately knew

that he had done something, like, really bad to me.

You have to fuck the girls. This is fucking super important.

You're probably sitting there with a smile on your face right now.

Look at you fuckers. You're all like, "Yes!"

You HAVE to fuck the girls. You cannot sit and do

a purely professional business relationship with a female.

It doesn't work. If you're not fucking the girl,

she is fucking someone else, and that other person she's fucking

is going to have the control over her mind.

I decided that I didn't want to do this any more.

I quit, basically.

I didn't say anything to anybody.

I, like, keep things to myself and I, like, hide them

and try to forget this happened.

How many girls we had working for us in total? 75? 100?

100, plus. So many girls, bro! So many.

How many of them go...

How many of them worked for us and didn't sleep with one of us?

One.

Is there one? I thought... Who's that one?

The girl from Lithuania. She sucked your dick.

Yeah. She escaped, I guess.

I don't even really want to fuck the girl. I want to know, like,

she better love me afterwards. I need to get paid, I got rent, like,

what the fuck? How do I use these women to make money? Jesus!

I learnt how to do everything.

To take a nobody and make her a somebody.

I learnt how to take a nothing,

turn her into a cash cow

And betas from all across the world

would be sending money into her...

my bank account.

Best ever month, I made $454,000.

Wow! Net.

That was for me, after everything. Sheesh!

I was convinced to go back, basically.

For some reason, the money just seemed

like something that I couldn't get without their help.

They were in a nicer apartment than the original one.

One morning, it was just me and him in the bedroom,

and he was telling me, like, "You need to get out of bed.

"You need to stop being a lazy bitch."

He tried to come on over to me and I was, like, saying, "Go away.

"Fuck off. Leave me alone."

And then he grabbed me by my neck.

He was strangling me so hard, I couldn't breathe.

And he forced himself on me again...

..for the second time.

I was, like, frozen.

There was really nothing else I could do.

His hands were so tight around my neck.

I think that was probably more scary because I wasn't drunk

and I was fully, like, conscious of what was going on.

I did think, like, he was going to kill me.

He was strangling me to the point I couldn't breathe.

Choke her so she can barely fucking breathe,

tell her she's yours forever.

They're going to believe it, you can programme them.

They are programmable beings, they're designed to be programmed.

You just have to be a large enough force to programme her.

That's all you have to be, be a force of nature.

At that point, so many things had happened,

I kind of had the strength to be, like, I would rather be broke

than be in this situation any more.

So I called an Uber and I left.

I never saw them again in person after that.

Yeah, so just look through it, to camera. Yeah.

It's the sun in my eyes, I'm squinting, I'm trying not to.

Andrew's a natural.

He just is, like, and this, this is what made me gravitate towards him.

I first became aware of Andrew as a fighter...

..sometime in the summer of 2015.

I was really interested in doing a deep dive into who Andrew Tate was.

I knew I wanted to do a documentary.

I gave him a pitch and he was like, "OK, that's cool."

So basically, what we do, I mean, I don't want to give away

the absolute secret of what we do, but beauty is worth money.

It doesn't matter if it's a beautiful car, it doesn't matter if

it's beautiful clothes, these things are expensive, and a beautiful woman

is worth some money. We help beautiful women make money,

Um, it's one way of putting it.

So, the idea is that we go to East Europe,

we'll get an apartment, we'll put up an office.

We have some good friends there,

and then we just have to find beautiful girls,

but that shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Life wasn't easy for Andrew and his brother.

Andrew was quite open about that.

But things are changing now, and that was kind of part of

the narrative of the documentary.

You know, he's now gone from struggling in Luton

to travelling the world,

expanding their webcam business into Europe.

I worked out a geographical formula to finding hot chicks.

You have to go where there's no tourists, so we started looking for

the second-biggest cities in countries.

And we found this town in Slovakia called Kosice, second-biggest city,

and it's five hours' drive from any major city.

Every hot girl within about 400km lived in this town.

Because there was nowhere else to go, right?

Kind of give us an insight into

the benefits of staying in

a city like this.

Firstly, it's beautiful, I mean, it's a beautiful city.

A lot of very pretty girls, who are prepared to make some money.

He wanted to show the world what he was doing,

without giving away, I guess, too many trade secrets.

I think later on down the line, he was more open

to kind of giving some insight into what he was doing.

The, uh, equipment you need.

You need a girl.

You need a webcam.

The best webcam is a Logitech C920.

Write that down, motherfuckers, Logitech C920.

You're sitting there thinking, what premises do I need?

Rent a nice house.

A live-and-work space that is homely and is normal.

You want everyone to believe it's a girl in her bedroom

at home, on her own.

How many bedrooms?

I think it's four or five.

This is obviously the master bedroom, which would make it mine,

being the Master of Earth.

This business we're involved in, in East Europe,

it's not something that anyone can do. You can't just turn up and take

the pussy and money out of a town without pissing some people off.

GUNSHOTS

I think he's been hit a few times.

One in the house, one in the car,

one in my long trench coat,

in case a bitch gets rude.

My father died on October 17th, 2015.

He died playing chess at a chess tournament,

which is the best possible death I could have wished for him.

He died in battle, as he should.

Uh, he was a warrior his entire life.

My father's mission was so important to him, it was almost beyond money.

He died with $12 in his pocket, and that was it.

The day he died, I found out at 1pm.

The next day, I'm running my webcam studio.

Was I devastated?

Absolutely. But what did I do?

The same shit I would have done if he was alive.

Just starting a webcam company, where I had six girls with me,

and I miss my dad's funeral to run my business.

If he was alive, he'd slap me in the mouth for fucking up my income

to go to a fucking funeral.

I can mourn from here.

I started with one girl, made money,

bought another laptop, got another girl.

Two girls, made money, bought a bigger apartment.

Three girls, four girls, five girls.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, before you know it,

I had a fucking empire of women.

Because I stuck to my business principles.

The actual reason why I eventually totally left England -

I don't know if I've told this story before - is because some bitch

called the police on me... Have I ever told this story?

It wasn't until I went to the police

that the emotions started coming

back up again, and just did, like, a written statement.

And then, they asked me to come in again

for a actual video statement.

And that was really tough.

My friend who was living with Andrew as well, we were webcamming

together, she went to the police.

She was classed as being in a relationship with him,

so they classed it as, like, domestic abuse.

The police had said to her kind of, what do you expect,

if you were webcamming for him?

I'm asleep in bed, 5:00 in the morning,

my door gets kicked in,

and the police raid my apartment and arrest me for assault.

"Like, who are you?" They're like, "You're under arrest

"for suspicion of assault of this dumb ho." And I'm like...

He said, "dumb ho!" I'm going to protect her...

anonymity because I'm a nice guy.

Dumb ho!

So I was like, "I didn't touch that dumb ho!"

They said they were going to investigate it.

I remember them saying that they had arrested him for questioning,

but didn't really hear from the police much after that.

Didn't really hear anything until a couple of years afterwards,

when he went into Big Brother.

12 new housemates.

I'm the Governor.

A bitch. Very demanding.

I want to fuck shit up. Posh twat!

I have the ability to destroy anyone in that house.

I remember it so vividly.

I turned the TV on and, like, he was just on it and I was like,

"That's so weird."

It just made me question, what sort of people do they let

onto these shows, do they do their background research?

VOICEOVER: Andrew is talking tactics.

I don't care if nobody down there likes me.

I'm sure by now, everyone's already pre-decided they don't like me,

and that's fine. I know where I genuinely am.

So I know I'm the most intelligent person in this house, I know

I'm the most capable person in this house. Fact.

The police called us to let us know that he was on Big Brother,

and we basically were like,

"Yeah, what are you going to do about this?"

Andrew? Yeah.

It's time for you to start your mission.

I'm going to become the most hated man in the world.

Makes sense, let's go.

Fucking hell!

The police basically said that they're trying to get him out,

but they were having some pushback from the Big Brother team

because he was good TV.

It just seems like nobody cared.

Eight of you are probably the biggest snakes that have ever been

in Big Brother.Snakes? THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE

My plan was to absolutely sow anarchy.

Tell me you love me.

Say it like you BLEEP mean it!

You say it like you BLEEP mean it!

I was contacted by a source showing a video of Andrew

whipping a woman with a belt.

You understand me? Say it, then. Say, "I understand."

Say it like you... BLEEP! BLEEP!

This video looked quite shocking.

I'd never heard the name Andrew Tate.

I don't think many people had.

In Big Brother, they have the ability to take someone out

and place them in accommodation which is separate from

the main house, and we were able to get

a phone conversation with Andrew.

The first question was, "What is going on in this video?"

Andrew was very quiet and a bit unsure.

He wasn't as confident.

A world away from the videos that you see today on social media.

Andrew admitted that the video was real.

I said to him, you know, you can understand why people find

it shocking, but he placed it in that context of role play,

and he wanted to claim that, you know, it was consensual,

a kinky sex game.

We sent the video to Channel Five and asked for their comments,

and within half an hour, Channel Five had announced

that they had decided to boot him off the show.

VOICEOVER: Big brother has called Andrew to the Diary Room.

Andrew has had to leave the Big Brother house.

Oh! What?!

People were genuinely shocked, despite him claiming

that it was a consensual sex game,

people thought, you know, this...

It looked a bit creepy.

It was exactly the things that he would do to us.

The video was him hitting the girl that was there when I lived there.

That is, like, exactly what he's like behind closed doors.

That's what he does, he hits girls, he verbally abuses them.

Tell the camera I beat you when you don't do as I say.

I didn't say the word, "Listen."

Did I say the word "listen"? Did I say the word BLEEP "listen"?

Stupid BLEEP bitch!

I didn't say the word list... Did I say "listen"?

Did I say "listen"? No. Look at the camera. Did I say "listen"?

No. Did I say BLEEP "listen" to you?

Did I say it? No.

Did I say it?

BLEEP BLEEP bitch!

Into the camera. This is what happens if you don't BLEEP listen.

Look at the camera.

She's been working for him on webcam before I knew him.

Most of the girls

that they recruited

were from Eastern Europe.

He did say that they were maybe more easily manipulated.

Why are you getting hit? I remember she was saying that

she was really in love with him, but he's treating her really horrible.

Do as I say.

He was calling her fat and saying she's not making any money.

Like, "What are you doing, you fat bitch?"

She's still working for him, to this day.

Hello, everyone.

I just wanted to say something about the video that's been released

recently about me and my ex-boyfriend, Andrew Tate.

Andrew is my still great friend, but what you guys saw on the video

is just what we used to do, it was just pure game.

He's a great guy, he would never hurt anyone,

unless he's fighting.

Any man who's actually a G, who's been around a little bit,

would look at the video and go, "Man, she loves it."

"She wants that shit." That's just her,

like, she's with the big boss, she likes it.

A little bit of spanking. You know, it's normal, right?

To get some spanking. But if you're a dude who never gets laid,

you can't fathom that a woman would want that.

Eventually, I got a visit from two police officers.

They came with a letter from the CPS.

It basically said

they are not going to prosecute.

I kind of like a country which is a little bit lawless,

where the government and the police are kind of weak. And Romania

kind of ticks those boxes, which makes it very, very unique.

I had a friend there who said, "I'll pick you up at the airport, look

"after you and your people, I've got a big house, come here," and bam!

We've been drinking for two hours.

We've been drinking for way too long.

We're boosted. We're boosted.

All I am is living the life

most men want to live.

Fuck who I want, no-one says shit to me.

I fucking travel the world, I make money, I spend money.

Right.

You're going to run a webcam company.

This is going to be an interesting journey for you, that's for sure.

I then grew quite a big following and people could see,

you know, I was running around, travelling across Europe in my Lambo

and picking up chicks and doing all this crazy stuff.

And I started getting asked lots and lots of questions.

How do you get girls? How do you make money?

Or about my body language, about all these things.

So I decided to put together courses.

You're effectively taking girls,

teaching them how to make unlimited money from home,

and then making sure they give it all to you.

I, with my skill level, can make any female do as I say.

And I say that with absolute conviction.

You need to find a way to make people be interested

in who you are as an individual and listen to what you say,

and social media is obviously very, very important for that.

I believe men are superior to women physically, and men are superior

to females mentally. They thought we put it all over the news that

Trump ain't going to win, we brainwashed everyone he's racist.

We now live in a world where females constantly complain about men

and feminism and #MeToo and all this shit, and men are the bad guys.

That attention can be garnered and can be leveraged

for financial gain and for influence.

Yo, we'll deal with this whole music video thing, man.

Bruv, my life is a music video.

# Sugar daddy

# Girl, you look good

# I don't want to lie... #

I have a very flashy, teenage boy's dream of a life.

# That's me, that's me... #

Have all the girls, I've got nine supercars.

I'm living in this big mansion.

I'm in Romania, what is he doing in Romania?

He's rolling around with all the police, they're giving

him police escorts to drive his Lambo and all this crazy stuff.

I'm thinking of changing my name to Top G.

CHANTING

The first time I had heard of him,

he's in his Bugatti that's about five mil.

Some people said they like it, some people don't like it.

And I said, "What colour's your Bugatti?"

He's got a watch on that he says

has a Bugatti engine in it. So I was like,

it's very interesting.

And then he got into his philosophy, you know, taking care of yourself,

going to the gym, making money,

you know, just the general aura of,

I mean, it sounds cliche, but like an old-school, hearty man.

Women's job always was procreation, to look after the family

and to look after the man, that's all that they had to do.

And the man would go out there and risk his life

and spend his time building the modern world.

Men run the infrastructure of society.

Without men, there will be no roads,

no buildings. All this stuff.

I was watching podcasts of his.

I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, but everything that guy

said, I wanted to, like, listen to it. I wanted to learn more.

Whatever that was, he could teach, I wanted to try and

get a piece of the pie.

I feel like society is beating down men constantly,

making them weaker. They tell men not to be men,

you could be feminine. It's OK to be feminine.

How to be successful as a man.

We'll talk about it. First thing, you need freedom,

because you ain't a man if you're not free.

If you're working your ass off, you're a slave.

I think society, or what Tate would call the Matrix,

is making a lot of people soft.

Watching his stuff, it was really just helping me get disciplined,

helping me really quit my job, I would say,

because it's a huge step to quit your job.

So watching motivational stuff like that, I was able to do that.

Your life's in your own hands.

As a man, it's important for you to go out there

into the world and provide for your family.

And that really hit home for me.

He came up with my For You page on TikTok one time doing

this motivational talk.

I might ban people who unsubscribe because if you quit,

you're a quitter, I don't want you to come back.

I don't give a shit about you. Like, it was his mansion, his dogs,

his swimming pool, his lifestyle.

When you see a person having all these luxury things

that you're not used to seeing, it gives you that motivation.

Because you see this person come from nothing, he came from Luton.

And that kind of gives us an effect of we can do that too,

no matter where you're from.

When I tell people, don't go to university, you haven't got

that time to waste, they say to me, "Well, what do I do instead?"

And this is the answer.

What you do instead is join my university programme.

I'm going to teach you everything, from start to finish,

everything I've ever learned about business.

I was like, you know what? I don't have too much money

to my name, but this is cheap, so I'm going to give it a go.

I was working in a nine-to-five, but I also knew that

I didn't want to do a nine-to-five for a living.

So I thought, you know what? Let me at least take one step

forward and learn business. There's me and 17 other professors teaching

how to make money, it's only $49 a month, we have about 6,000 students.

Hustlers University was quite professional.

I think I was on there for about a month and I took,

like, a copywriting course.

Um, and, yeah, it was, I mean, it was cool.

And every single class, there was always, like, 70,000 people

are in this group, 100,000 people. I mean, I feel like people

aren't consistently going to pay for something that's not working.

So I feel like that's just an indicator right there

that it's not just fake.

It was always showing my lifestyle, but I changed the way in which I do.

Now, the way that the videos are getting out there

and being spread by students of the school themselves,

that's why I've got much deeper penetration on social media.

That's why people are like, where did this guy come from

out of nowhere? But I've been around for a while.

Tate doesn't have his own TikTok account,

yet his videos have been watched

more than 11.6 billion times.

They're spread by fan accounts, which share his most

controversial clips.

That content boosted by TikTok's aggressive algorithm.

People would take his videos, clip them up, maybe green-screen them,

and then, like, remix them in a way to add different comedy to it.

So his fan base was doing this, and all those podcast

clips circulating around, that's all you would see, basically.

I ended up absolutely everywhere, and now people complain that they

see me more than their own father, and they can't get rid of me.

He's tagged in a TikTok and I look at it for too long,

that feeds the algorithm, and it spreads out more to my followers

and to the followers that are already engaging in that content.

At that time, Andrew Tate was going viral, so obviously, my whole feed

was Andrew Tate... I feel like

that was the whole feed for everyone in the world,

because he was the most trending person on social media.

Everyone was loving him - more than the Kardashians, more than

the Queen, more than anyone else, he was the most Googled man.

So you may have noticed...

..that I'm now the most famous man on the planet.

I am, by the metrics of

the internet, the most famous

individual who is currently alive in the world today.

You've heard of hate speech?

Well, hate speech is spreading a toxic cloud through schools.

Andrew Tate's reach, certainly by the summer of 2022,

was vast on social media.

That was because he managed to manipulate social media platforms

to push content around the internet.

And it had a huge impact, especially to a young male audience.

Everybody is trying to manipulate you all the time, including me.

If it's not me who's manipulating you? The other YouTubers, the news,

the teachers, you trust those people?

The amount of young 11-year-old boys that have told me

that they love Andrew Tate is ridiculous.

Yeah, I love him. Why do you like him? He's inspirational.

Now, teachers are struggling to de-radicalise the young

misogynists in their classroom.

My freshman boys - it's ninth grade, about age 14, 15 -

absolutely obsessed with Andrew Tate.

And it is especially hard to combat this because I am a woman.

They don't want to listen to a woman.

What colour is your Bugatti, Miss Pope?

What colour is your Bugatti? And I was like,

I don't even know what that means.

For some of them, it was just a joke, but for some of them,

it was definitely not.

I did not feel like Andrew Tate's content was appropriate

for 14, 15-year-old boys to be watching, especially

for the safety of my 14 and 15-year-old girls in my classroom.

How much money do you make?

And I need to be in a group with this girl because I own her.

And that's when I was like, yeah, that's definitely not happening.

Andrew Tate tells them that they can do whatever they want to a woman.

They basically own women.

In the comment section of that video, I got hundreds

and hundreds of teachers

from all over saying, like,

I'm seeing the same thing.

I'm not only seeing it at the same age level, but I'm also seeing it

as young as five, six, seven-year-old boys.

Like, what do we do now?

Schools across the UK are in crisis,

as the effects of online influencer

Andrew Tate's vile misogyny infiltrates our classrooms,

and society. Teachers are now having to develop their own resources

to re-educate boys who are being brainwashed online

by his deeply toxic messaging.

Prime Minister.

There was a lot of talk on social media from teachers

about this new TikTok star, and there was a big kind of worry about

influence over the boys in particular.

What a lot of teachers on social media were reporting

was that they were hearing his name coming up more and more and more.

One teacher told me that a boy had said to her,

"I'm going to go full Andrew Tate on you."

Kids are shouting out his name in the corridor as teachers walk by.

Where schools have online homework systems, they're changing their name

and replacing it with Andrew Tate.

So I want you to just have a conversation about

what you like about Andrew Tate.

Is he successful because of

his attitudes, or is he successful

because he's worked hard?

Kids aren't shy about talking about Tate.

He's not taboo.

Anybody agree with what he says

about the eye of a hurricane and wanting a male pilot? You do?

It's all right. No, listen.

Shush, shush.

Could that then affect the way that young boys think about girls

and then affect the way that they treat women and girls?

A lot of people ask me, "Andrew, why do you have a machete

"next to your bed?"

And my answer is simple, "Why wouldn't I have a machete

"next to my bed? Why don't you have a machete next to your bed?"

So some dude, some little pussy-ass dude once said to me,

"Yeah, but if it's next to your bed, what if you, like, upset a girl

"and she catches you cheating and gets a machete?"

What would a woman do?

Eh, eh!

I feel like a lot of the stuff Tate says that people get mad at

was probably a joke taken out of context, put into a short clip.

Machete's on the floor, her panties are all wet.

You got to fuck her, that's how it goes.

Slap, slap, grab, choke.

Shut up, bitch! Sex.

That's just the whole masculine-feminine play.

The value from it I think that you need to get is men should be strong.

As a man, you need to protect yourself.

Like, "Hey, get out, bitch," right?

While we're on the subject of how weak females are,

female self-defence is bullshit.

People can't really tell when he's making a joke

because he's so, like, into this niche now.

But you've always got to look at the context of it.

And when I'm standing on top of you and you're like,

and I'm grabbing you by your neck and you've learned,

"I learnt in self-defence,

"when he grabs me by my neck, what I do is I get my fingers in..."

Yeah, but you know what they didn't teach you in self-defence?

Here's a little move, when I grab you by your neck and you start

annoying me, trying to resist, and I just...

And then I grab you by your neck again.

Then what the fuck are you going to do when your face is collapsed?

What did he say? Grip, grab, choke, sex?

No, no, I don't think he's meaning that.

I think he's coming up with that as a way to get people's reactions,

to get people to laugh, because I think people can filter that part

out, that's the funny part. They're supposed to laugh at that, people.

What we decided to do was go through all of his content and mark

out the bits where it broke various pieces of legislation

on these platforms, and we sent this research to the major platforms.

We turned around and said, you need to act to remove

the individual from the platform.

The next stage was, we had a huge national campaign, and we got our

supporter base from around the country to sign petitions

to send to the platforms.

Within just one week, all of the platforms took some form

of action, which was pretty unprecedented.

And here we are.

This stream is now five times larger than the biggest stream

we've ever done, do you feel cancelled?

I don't feel fucking cancelled at all.

I feel fine. May God help you.

Right. Woo! Right.

Sadly, it wasn't the kind of end of Andrew Tate.

I didn't want this war, you fucking did.

And then you told me that I'm not allowed on your platforms.

And you told me that I'm not allowed anywhere.

Well, that's fine, because I have soldiers and we're going to

penetrate the Matrix.

I thought it was crazy, it gave him more strength, yeah.

Anybody who gets cancelled by the media these days.

Almost as a confirmation to his fans, he got de-platformed.

That means the Matrix is real.

I'm going to play a video and I want everyone to make an Instagram story.

And let's put it all over motherfucking Instagram.

The reason why he was still on social media everywhere

is because his fans stay loyal to him, and knew we can't let

the world's most famous man die out, so they started

reposting his content.

Fuck you, Matrix, this war has just begun.

I ain't going nowhere, you have my address.

You know where I'm at, come get me.

Andrew Tate, you don't have to agree with everything a man says

to believe he has a right to speak in public.

And we do believe that.

He kind of gets entered into the pantheon of the cancelled.

He starts to find a new audience, which isn't just young boys

that like his Bugatti.

It is people from the kind of right wing and the far-right,

all over the world, that see him as a poster boy for being cancelled.

I'd say in the top three most banned people in the world,

is Andrew Tate, Alex Jones and Donald Trump.

That's why this interview is so incredibly important.

We're in a club, it's a pretty elite club, and it's because

we scare the establishment.

That's a pretty good club to be part of.

This is when he starts saying, I'm a victim of the Matrix.

This notion he has that there is this grand conspiracy to lock him

down and stop his voice being heard,

he starts to play off that on social media.

The only reason I'm upset by being cancelled

is because I've expired one of my lives.

Because first, you get cancelled, then they make up a reason

to put you in jail, and if that fails, they kill you.

He said, you know, it's going to start off with a false

accusation and an arrest.

And worst case, I don't even want to say it on this documentary,

but potentially death as well.

Clearly, you know, he was expecting to be arrested for something.

KNOCKING

According to reports, the investigation first began

when the US Embassy in Romania got a tip in April that the Tates

were holding a US citizen

at their home against her will.

The Matrix has attacked me.

A final point, Juanita, we've just heard that they have just

asked a court to extend Andrew Tate's original 24-hour period

of detention to 30 days.

So a significant extension being asked for there.

Andrew Tate is my client about four years.

I represent him in Romania

and we collaborate just a little bit

of some commercial stuff.

It was a very big surprise for me

that he was arrested.

We know there are seven alleged victims who were apparently

allegedly recruited by false promises of love and marriage

by the two Tate brothers.

The victims were lured under pretences of love, then intimidated

and coerced into pornographic acts.

All the allegations are denied by Andrew.

They are very upset about what is happening.

they don't recognise the allegations against them.

They are trying to do everything possible to prove

they are not guilty.

And you're confident, or not?

I am confident, and that's all I want to declare today.

Andrew Tate has been arrested for human trafficking and a rape,

which is absolutely absurd.

Simply for the reasons that it's absolutely false.

I have lived with Andrew for years and years, and he would never do

anything like this.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say, so to see what's happening

right now, it makes me extremely, extremely upset.

They are the kindest and smartest guys that I have ever met.

In America, if you're rich, they think you're an actor.

In London, if you're rich, they think you're a businessman.

In Romania, if you're rich, they think you're a criminal. Strange.

A court in Romania has agreed to allow the controversial

social media influencer Andrew Tate to leave prison

and move into house arrest.

The British-American former kick boxer has millions of online...

I mean, I personally,

I like him and Tristan, both.

I think they're great guys.

They're, you know, they're doing a lot for the low man,

you know, on the totem pole.

So it was about a two-hour walk to his house.

Yeah, that was... That was crazy.

Got to see him come out wearing the infamous

red and black and gold robe.

Probably one of the more interesting days of my life.

I told all of you in advance, I saw the future and I was not wrong.

What they are hitting me with is the highest level of

Matrix attack which a man can possibly endure.

I didn't wake up this morning

and receive a phone call from the Matrix, giving me my orders

for the day. My instructions come from four women, who have

all suffered horribly at the hands of Tate.

Completely separate to the alleged crimes that Tate is facing

prosecution for in Romania.

These incidents occurred in late-2014, early-2015,

and were reported to the police shortly thereafter.

I've got some papers for Mr Tate.

If I could just pass them to you.

My name is Matthew Jury.

We're seeking to encourage the police to reopen

the investigation, in the hope that there will be a charging

decision and a decision to prosecute by the CPS.

The victim's ultimate objective would be for him to be criminally

prosecuted and to have their claims heard in court.

One of the main reasons I wanted to come forward is to get justice

and expose him for who he is.

I don't think any of us would put ourselves

through what we've been through for money,

I don't think. I don't need money, like, it's not what I'm chasing.

I just think justice needs to be served.

It is crazy that it has taken...

..I don't know how many victims now for something to finally happen.

I just wanted to express myself.

Just have the truth known.

My client is a named victim

in the Romanian case. Last year,

she was one of the women who were rescued

from the Tates' compound.

She came here from London, where she was living and studying,

because she fell in love with Andrew Tate.

He very quickly started to groom her and coerce her into filming

online content, doing things with her body in order for him

to gain financially.

And once it became very serious for her, she really started to feel

a lot of shame, a lot of depression, a lot of doubts.

She confronted him about that, and it was at that point

that he brutally raped her.

We're here today alongside

US attorneys who are representing

victims and survivors and witnesses

of Tate's alleged crimes in Romania.

We're working alongside them, but they're dealing with distinct

cases in their own jurisdiction.

There's been recently a concerted campaign to intimidate, harass

and threaten victims and witnesses.

And really, this press conference is about saying, enough is enough.

Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate

and their lawyers in America

have decided to sue our clients,

who are victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse.

Earlier this year, the Tates filed

a lawsuit and named my client.

It named another victim, then accused the women of essentially

conspiring together to extort the Tates.

And that they've suffered severely emotionally

and psychologically and financially because of the Romanian prosecution.

Because of all of that,

they're seeking $5 million

in monetary damages from the defendants.

This is traditional, very basic

witness intimidation.

Our clients have received death threats.

They've had the most despicable lies about them spread online

and repeated hundreds of thousands of times, to the point that it feels

they cannot escape and they cannot live their lives.

We stand together to say, we believe all the women who have come forward

as victims of the Tates, and we will not back down.

Thank you.

You know that you don't have the legal right to practise law

here in Romania, to present in Romania as a lawyer,

you know that, you know?

We are lawyers and we're not presenting to a court

or appearing to a court in any way.

Sorry, are you a representative of the press or Mr Tate?

I'm just wondering. You didn't introduce yourself.

No, I'm a representative of the civil society.

I don't have here... I'm not in the court.

No, I just, I just wanted to clarify who we were talking to.

..the legal team of...

Mr Tate's lawyer, sorry, that's what I wanted to establish.

Right, thank you, thank you.

They made it very clear that they were here, sitting

in the front row of this press conference, in front of

all the cameras, to do everything they could to disrupt the free flow

of factual and truthful information.

I'll answer your questions, I believe the evidence strongly

demonstrates that Andrew Tate is a rapist and, moreover,

a serial rapist, who likes to throttle women.

Daddy! Daddy!

Here, it's me. Oh, have you missed me?

Have you been good? Yeah.

Are you lying?

Are you lying or telling the truth?

This is not a victimless crime, what's happening to me.

Because no crime has taken place, and then I've been persecuted.

That's not a victimless crime. My brother and I have suffered,

but so has my family. My mother's suffered, my children have suffered,

the mothers of my children have suffered, everyone close to me

has suffered. People are suffering because of this. What is this? Pawn.

Pawn. This is what most people in life are, pawns.

Just because he's now saying

something different doesn't mean

that all of those times he revealed his true self,

that wasn't authentic.

It just means it now suits him to be spinning a different persona.

He's doing it to protect himself, insulate himself

from what's coming.

I've been on the internet for a long time.

I've made some jokes, I've made some videos, and people

don't understand satire or comedy.

They're going to try and criticise me and crucify me for the next

100 years because of it, because of clips that were made ten years ago.

I have to look into your eyes and ask you,

have you ever raped someone?

I have no need to rape anybody.

And that's the thing that I think is pretty pertinently clear

to the people at home.

The victims are on my side.

There's no-one against me but the state.

I've done nothing wrong. I feel like

this whole criminal investigation

is going to be a fantastic end to all of this,

once I'm found innocent, I believe.

And I do believe I'll be found innocent.

I've seen all of the case against me, and there is no case.

Then it's very difficult to put somebody in jail when there's nobody

saying he did anything wrong.

I would like him to go to prison for his crimes.

And he also deserves to go to prison here for the things

that he's done to us.

And hopefully, um, it will be different in the future

for anybody else that this happens to.

That's what I really want to come from this.
