How Andrew Tate Became the Internet’s Biggest A-Hole
From the moment he logged on
In June of 2016, the 17th season of Big Brother UK launched. 13 contestants entered the main house, with a further six entering The Other House. Andrew Tate was one of the six.
He bragged about being a member of MENSA and tooted his own horn about his kickboxing career*. He was vocal about his belief that while men should be able to sleep around with as many women as they choose, women shouldn’t be allowed to do the same. He lasted just seven days in the house. Rather than being voted out as is the typical reality show journey, he was ejected by the production team. The ejection was swift, but there was little explanation.
*This is a small thing, but it shows what type of person he is. Tate loves to brag about his 43–9 kickboxing record. But he just can’t help himself, also bragging about his MMA record of 1–0 at both amateur and professional levels. But in reality, his amateur record was 2–1, semi-professional 1–1, and professional 1–0. That’s more wins than I would ever get, but it just shows his willingness to fudge the truth. It also casts shade on whether his 43–9 kickboxing record, which can’t be verified, is accurate. He also says he has only been knocked out once in his career, but he has been knocked out twice.
The public later learned it was due to a video showing him physically abusing a woman. Tate would claim that it was consensual BDSM. But, in his own words, “40% of the reason” he left the UK to reside in Romania was relaxed sexual assault laws. Yikes!
And that wasn’t the only thing that triggered his eviction, homophobic and racist tweets also surfaced.
When discussing how he’d deal with a sexual partner accusing him of infidelity, he said “It’s bang out the machete, boom in her face, grip her by the neck. Shut up, bitch.”
Which is a good time to highlight texts that were exposed around his Big Brother ejection, where he very much sent threatening texts to a woman he believed was flirting with other men.
He isn’t new to the internet, Twitter permanently suspended his account way back in 2017. He kicked up quite a stink about his Big Brother ejection and the filth he spewed as a result was surely…
