"#MeToo era bullsh*t" - When Andrew Tate admitted move to Romania was to evade rape charges in the U.K.

Andrew Tate is arguably the world's most radioactive internet personality today, and the mere mention of his name on social media is enough to ignite polarizing discussions. The 36-year-old influencer is widely known for promoting a brand of aggressive masculinity amongst youngsters.

While the American-born Englishman lived in the UK for most of his life, he moved to Romania in 2017. Tate has made no secret of his love for the Eastern-European nation and often spoke about it in his videos and social media posts.

Interestingly, Andrew Tate once explained why he moved to Romania in 2017. The controversial influencer, known for voicing his unfiltered opinion on sensitive social issues, once went on a tirade against the #metoo movement.

During his rant, Tate revealed that "40%" of the reason he moved to Romania was because the country didn't take movements like #metoo seriously. Twitter handle @Avalon1l recently posted a video, where 'Top G' describes how Romania differs from other Western nations when it comes to dealing with sexual assault allegations. Andrew Tate stated:

Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, were arrested by Romania's anti-organized crime unit on December 29 last year in connection to a federal criminal investigation into them. The two brothers spent over three months in jail, accused of human trafficking, sexual assault, and organized crime.

Andrew Tate also stands accused of raping three British women while running an internet sex company from 2013-2016. One of those three victims, going by the pseudonym Evie, recently revealed the extent of her suffering and detailed meeting Tate in a Luton bar in August 2014.

Claiming that she was a student back then, Evie described Tate turning violent during an initially consensual encounter. In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Evie stated:

While no charges have been filed in the UK, a Bucharest court overturned a decision to deny the Tate brothers bail in April. They have now been placed under house arrest.
