They returned to Romania in March 2025, telling reporters that "innocent men don't run from anything".
Lol.
Andrew Tits.
“Rape, and actual bodily harm” wtf UK rape is actual bodily harm… the language choices around sexual assault in the UK is so problematic
How is this motherfucker not serving prison time already?
I look forward to the day I never hear about this guy again.
What's shameful is Spotify is still allowing some of Andrew Tate's content. If you have a Spotify account please consider contacting Spotify and send them a message saying you want Andrew Tate completely removed, want Spotify to stop funding Joe Rogan and demand a feature to block podcasts the same way you can block artists for songs. Also maybe consider ending your Spotify subscription. When you cancel your subscription you will be prompted to explain why you're canceling. It's crucial to fill you the reason. Say you're canceling because you don't like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan.
Spotify paid ridiculous sums of money, specifically to get Joe Rogan.
They absolutely do not care about complaints about tate.
Not to say you shouldn't try, you should, just that it's screaming into the void until the monetary price of continuing support is greater than at least some combination of sunk cost + potential profit. ( so $250m + whatever their profit projections are ).
Mate this is brilliant! I had no idea. Can I share your comment?
Also congratulations on your downvotes! You're annoying the right people
I always wonder if the people silently downvoting helpful comments like that know their downvotes are technically public, like anything you post on lemmy, if you’re using the right tool to look at a post.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to do callouts over it or even block people over a single downvote; god knows I fat finger upvotes all the time, and the only reason I don’t do the same for downvotes is Blahaj has them turned off. But boy does it validate my blocking instincts when I peek and it’s someone I’ve already blocked.
Of course you can!
Great thanks 😊
Doing your username proud.
My only regret is that I can't boycott Spotify again.
I went the next step and use xmanager to basically pirate premium Spotify, so now I'm also costing them money.
I know it's not for everyone, but for me I feel like buying music I like directly from the artist/label or via bandcamp has been a better experience. Now I have a library of DRM free music, and I know the musicians got a better cut.
Totally agree here, another good reason to cancel your Spotify account.
Twenty-one offenses? Come on, Andrew Taint is more offensive than that!
Don't worry, he can still be president with a record like that!
🤢🤮
I'm sick of seeing his name.
Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. It's unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.
Yep US will likely protect him. Good news is that there's no statute of limitations on these crimes so they'll never go away.
I don't think they're still in the US.
Isn’t there a warrant for their arrest in Florida? I believe they were there for two nights and on one of these nights he raped someone. I think he went back to Romania to escape US jail.
He returned because he was legally obligated to return
I mean, he's also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn't seem to bother him.
Yeah but if Trump was going to give them succour it's not very likely they would voluntarily go back to Romania.
I don't know much about them.
From reading headlines here on Lemmy I know the Florida governor was threatening charges but IDK what really happened. My impression was that they were expecting support from the Trump admin but it didn't really materialise and the US wasn't the safe harbour they had hoped for.
Other commenter said they may have asylum there, and last news I can find in Feb says they're there. Only had a quick look though
Yeah I'm not an expert on the Tate brothers and I'm not going to search them up.
IIRC they were in Romania and when the Trump admin landed in January the brothers some how got special leave to travel on the proviso they returned for their hearings later. They went to Florida thinking that they would get looked after by the Trump admin, but it didn't go very well and the governor of Florida was threatening charges in the US.
So to my knowledge there was no formal "asylum" but they were banking on their ideology aligning with Trumps.
Ideology aligning with Trumps is a great way of putting it. It's music to Trumps ears
Apologies, I didn't mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they're definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences
Yes I agree
Actually I believe I saw recently that Romania agreed to extradite them to the UK. I don't remember the source though, so take that with a grain of salt.
They have agreed, but they must face their charges in Romania first. I don't know if that means they serve their sentences and are then extradited or what.
US about to declare war on the UK to protect their own shitstain
He's a citizen of both countries, he's as much British as he is American.
This piece of shit should never get out of jail.
Add another one for the ugly fucking tailoring job on that suit.
Bro the world was so much better when he became irrelevant after he got bagged, then adolescence came out (great show btw) and people started mentioning his name again, for no FUCKING reason, the 12 y/o boy in the tv show got bagged for murder not fucking human trafficking or rape, genuinely absolutely no human being of any value wanted to hear his name uttered again (ik it tackled the issues of mysoginy and reh teh teh but genuinely everyone stopped caring about him)
He's a pathetic little attention whore and it's never been more evident since he fell back into obscurity he's been so desperately doing increasingly more pathetic things for even a fraction of the attention he used to get. The clips that have surfaced of him in the past year or so are so cringe and embarrassing, cuz he's trynna gain attention and failing, making it even more embarassing.
His name got rinsed by social media and then everyone forgot about him. This bruddas more whorish than any woman he's ever referred to.
"Redirect Notice"🚬
Thanks lucy. It's a bbc link, I'd already chopped out the amp but didn't notice the redirect
G O O D
THe more I read about this guy, the more I don’t like him.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
