In her complaint, Tate’s ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, argues that his abusive treatment of her follows a long pattern of making blatant misogyny part of his brand. She said he initially acted effusively loving and generous to lure her into a relationship that later turned abusive.

The alleged incident took place in Beverly Hills less than two weeks after Tate arrived in the United States from Romania.

Self-described misogynist influencer Andrew Tate was sued by an ex-girlfriend who accused him of assaulting her in a Beverly Hills hotel room in March.
