Andrew Tate said in an old video clip recently re-released that women “are not allowed out” if they stay in his house.
In the clip, highlighted by The Sun on January 7, Tate spoke about his jet-setting lifestyle and how he has large groups of women who stay at his home.
The date of the clip was unclear, as was the specific house it meant. Insiders found the same footage posted around the same time Tate was banned from YouTube, suggesting the comments are at least 6 months old.
“I’m everywhere, so I’m just stuck in the house with all these chicks, sitting there bored and totally in love with myself,” he said. “And of course they don’t go out. They’re not allowed out.”
He said people might assume the women can go out with their friends when he’s not around, but that was wrong.
“You don’t go to the club with your friends,” he said. “I don’t know what kind of bastard lets his girls go to the club without him. no You stay in the house, you’re not going anywhere. No restaurants, no clubs, nothing.”
Tate was removed from YouTube in August 2022 for violating its hate speech policy, the company said. The newly posted clips viewed by Insider are from around the time Tate’s own account went down.
Tate also boasted about his treatment of women on his now-defunct website, screenshots of which were widely circulated. Tate wrote that 50% of his employees were once his girlfriend and “none were in the adult industry before they met me”.
His description is similar to the “loverboy method” of human trafficking that Romanian authorities say Tate used in the country.
The video is being recirculated after Tate was arrested for alleged human trafficking in Bucharest, Romania.
Tate, his brother Tristan and two women were arrested and accused of exploiting women to produce porn for their online business. Tate and the others were initially held for 24 hours, which a Romanian court extended to 30 days.
Six women came forward as part of the investigation, Romanian officials told Insider, at least one of whom said she was raped.
Since Tate’s arrest, insiders and other media outlets have reported that he was arrested in the UK in 2015 on suspicion of rape, but authorities had dropped the case. Tate denied the allegations.
Tate has not publicly responded to the human trafficking allegations. His lawyer gave an interview to the Romanian news agency Gândul in which he attacked the evidence against the Tates but did not say they were innocent.
