According to sources, Andrew Tate is allegedly engaging in a campaign of harassment and intimidation against his purported victims after they accused the internet celebrity of human trafficking and rape.
Tate and his younger brother Tristan have filed a lawsuit in a Florida court, accusing one of their victims and their parents, as well as journalists and social media users, of destroying the disgraced siblings. However, their targets have now retaliated.
The court received documents from the lawyers for two of the women, Jane Doe and Mary Doe, who said that both brothers tried to “silence” their accusers in a number of ways, including by employing private investigators and internet detectives to obtain evidence against them.
Tate called from prison in Romania, “directing his cousin and other associates to produce videos slandering Jane Doe and Mary Doe,” according to their legal team. Jane Doe, an American, was lured from Florida to Bucharest in 2022 by Tate, 38, and Tristan, 36, to work for their x-rated web company. Mary Doe, a Romanian-Moldovan, says the siblings forced her into sex work and trafficked her as well.
Tate and Tristan were both taken into custody and imprisoned in Bucharest later that year. Before being released on house arrest, they were imprisoned for three months on trafficking accusations. They are reported to have done everything in their power to ensure that their accusers retreated, nevertheless, while they were incarcerated.
Andrew Tate: “Come arrest me, you think I don’t wipe my phone every night?”
Andrew didn’t know his jail calls were being recorded and a significant portion of his Romanian case evidence came directly off his phone.

“In these (prison) calls Tate said, ‘Keep going! Good job. Over and over again, different ones … we need the girls to cry, to be frustrated, angry,’” Jane Doe’s lawyers note in the legal filing. “Around the same time, highly salacious, humiliating and defamatory videos about Jane and Mary Doe began circulating online and were shared and viewed thousands of times.”
Not content with that, Tate is also suspected of sending persons to the Florida home of Jane Doe’s parents in order to “harass and intimidate them.” The petition claims that the siblings paid Sulaiman Ahmed, a British online influencer, to interview Jane Doe’s “former suitor,” who sexually assaulted her when she was seventeen years old.
Without the victim’s consent, this man allegedly obtained access to her cell phone and “shared the private information with Ahmed, who is alleged to have shared it with the Tates.” Tate and Tristan, according to the attorneys, were attempting to “undermine her credibility as a witness.” Using a “scorched-earth litigation strategy,” they continued, the brothers have filed a “frivolous lawsuit to discredit, intimidate, humiliate, and embarrass” anyone who speaks out against them.

Bri Stern, Tate’s girlfriend, has even accused him of assault, saying he threatened to “ruin my life, rape me, and kill me” if she ever betrayed him. The model, who had previously sued Tate, claimed on Instagram that he had choked and abused her during a sexual encounter at the Beverly Hill Hotel on March 11. “The last words he said to me before I left the hotel were ‘Shut the f— up b—-. You will never talk back to me. You are my property.'”
“I finally recognized that someone who truly loved me would not say those things to me or hurt me repeatedly the way he did,” she added. According to Stern, she went into hiding and hired a bodyguard because she was afraid of what her ex-boyfriend might do to her if she spoke up. In addition to denying all of the accusations, Tate and his brother are requesting millions of dollars in compensation from the court for emotional harm they believe the bombshell accusations caused.
