BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: In a recent interview, a person who alleges to be one of Andrew Tate's victims emphasized that they are not a fictitious character but a real individual.

The individual further expressed their conviction that Tate will not escape accountability for his actions.

In December 2022, Tate faced serious accusations, including human trafficking, organized crime involvement, and sexual assault, leading to his placement under house arrest from which he was later liberated under certain conditions.

Subsequently, more women came forward with similar allegations, citing instances of assault and coercive control by Andrew Tate.

Andrew Tate's alleged victim asserts she's 'sad, anxious and scared'

An alleged victim recently granted an anonymous interview to Newsweek, where she shared her sentiments, stating, "Since the letter was first sent to him, I've felt all the emotions under the sun."

"Sad, anxious, scared, but no matter how scary it is, finally this man is starting to experience the repercussions of his actions," she added.

According to Newsweek, the law firm representing these women revealed that three of them reported Tate to the authorities. However, prosecutors decided not to press charges in response to their allegations.

Newsweek reported the woman as saying, "I still feel like it isn't real, this is finally happening after 10 years... it's taken him being extremely misogynistic online and crazily becoming big on social media for this to actually happen. It's not right."

The woman suing Tate disclosed to Newsweek that she chose to take action because she couldn't bear witnessing him repeatedly evade accountability, saying, "can't live the rest of my life watching him get away with what he's done again and again."

She further expressed, "It is torture trying to live my life with constant reminders from work colleagues, friends online, the radio, the hairdressers, basically anyone randomly mentioning his name."

"This isn't supposed to happen. The person who put you through the worst time of your life, who you tried to stop hurting others 10 years ago, isn't supposed to become famous online," she asserted.

Speaking to Newsweek, she asked, "How do you deal with something like that? There isn't a book I can just read to help me get through it."

According to Newsweek, the woman asserted she would "not let him scare me anymore and prove to him that not all the women he's hurt are going to stay scared."

Tate's legal team responded to the women's allegations in a statement to Newsweek, vehemently denying the claims and accusing the women of seeking financial gain.

Newsweek reported the lawyers as stating, "Some of these allegations have been investigated by the police and no further action was taken by them as the case failed to meet the evidentiary standard required."

"There is much evidence which demonstrates that these allegations are fictitious, including a text message from someone whom we believe to be a claimant," they stated.

The women have refuted allegations of fabricating their claims or seeking attention through legal action.

Newsweek reported the alleged woman victim as saying, "I am not a made-up person, I am not being paid by media, I am not doing this for an ulterior motive. I am a woman that was extremely unfortunate enough to meet this man, over 10 years ago, before the 'fame' and before the money."

"I'm doing this so I can say I did everything I could to get justice and hold my head high. I'm not allowing him to let me suffer in silence anymore," she stated.

Newsweek also noted that Tate's lawyers criticized a crowdfunding campaign aimed at covering the women's legal fees, which seeks to raise £50,000 (approximately $61,017) to support their lawyer, Matthew Jury of McCue Jury & Partners, in bringing Andrew Tate to justice in the UK. The campaign has garnered nearly £30,000 ($36,610) thus far.

According to Newsweek, Tate's lawyers claimed, "There is a concerted effort on behalf of McCue Jury & Partners to attract as much media attention to these allegations as possible."

"With 10 days left on their crowdfunding efforts they have achieved pledges of just over half of their target. That is why today's press conference has been called by Matthew Jury," they claimed.

The woman told Newsweek that she hopes her experience can encourage others who've endured sexual assault "to not be scared. I know the threats are terrifying, and you are scared of what he would do to you but justice can be done."

Lawyers of Andrew Tate told to stop spreading misinformation

Lawyers representing alleged abuse victims of Tate, the social media influencer facing charges of rape and human trafficking, have asserted that the accused and his supporters are attempting to intimidate their clients into silence, according to AP News.

Speaking at a press conference hosted at a central Bucharest hotel, the legal teams, representing both US and UK interests, expressed their unified stance against Tate and his followers.

They addressed the ongoing efforts to silence those who are speaking out against him, as reported by AP News.

Tate's spokesperson refuted these allegations, as reported by AP News.

In a joint statement quoted by AP News, the lawyers stated, "These threats will not work, they will not prevent people from coming forward, and they will not prevent courts around the world from hearing their cases."

"We encourage people to play their part in stopping the spread of disinformation online and to think carefully about how their words in these spaces can affect people already suffering immensely," the victim's legal team added.

Four women had reported Tate to UK authorities for alleged sexual violence and physical abuse, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to pursue charges.

Subsequently, the alleged victims initiated a crowdfunding campaign to cover their legal expenses as they pursue a civil case against him, according to AP News.

The campaign page, as noted by AP News, quotes the alleged victims as stating, "We handed over our evidence about the horrific acts of violence we endured and waited for action. But four years later we were told the UK authorities would not prosecute him."

In a recent media letter, Tate described the allegations by the British women as “malicious and disputed” and indicated his intent to resist any attempt to grant anonymity to the complainants if proceedings were initiated, as reported by AP News.

McCue Jury & Partners, the legal firm representing the women, countered Tate's claims, as reported by AP News. The firm stated, “Tate claimed that there is no UK case against him and that the firm suggested mediation through financial compensation.

Unfortunately for Mr. Tate, there is absolutely a legal claim being brought in the UK against him ... We made clear to Tate that any settlement would have to contain an admission of liability.”
