Andrew Tate Accused of Pointing Gun in Woman's Face
⚠️ Content Warning: This article contains explicit descriptions of alleged sexual violence and abuse.
Controversial online influencer Andrew Tate is facing damaging new civil allegations in the UK, where four women have filed a lawsuit accusing him of rape, sexual assault, strangulation, and psychological abuse between 2013 and 2015.
According to court documents reviewed by the BBC, one woman alleges that Tate pointed a gun at her face and warned: “You’re going to do as I say or there’ll be hell to pay.” Tate has denied all allegations, calling them “a pack of lies” in a written defence submitted to the High Court.
Allegations Span Years and Multiple Victims
The four claimants, whose experiences reportedly took place in Luton and Hitchin, include two women who worked for Tate’s webcam business in 2015 and two former intimate partners from earlier years. Each woman presents disturbing accounts of physical violence, coercion, and psychological manipulation.
One woman alleges she was strangled until unconscious during sex, after which the act continued.
Another reports being choked repeatedly, resulting in visible signs of asphyxia, including burst capillaries in her eyes.
A third claims Tate threatened to kill anyone who communicated with her.
A fourth, identified by the pseudonym “Sienna,” says she saw a gun in Tate’s apartment and feared for her safety, though she wasn’t certain whether the weapon was real or a replica.
In response, Tate has admitted a toy gun may have been present but denies threatening anyone. He further argues that the women were never under his control, and that the delay in reporting these incidents undermines their credibility.
Legal Action After CPS Declined to Prosecute
Three of the four women reportedly contacted police in 2019, but the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) opted not to pursue charges at the time. The women are now seeking civil damages for alleged physical and psychological harm.
Their lawyer, Matt Jury, told the BBC that his clients were “denied justice” by law enforcement, forcing them to take the case to court themselves.
A preliminary hearing is set for 15 April 2025.
A Mounting Legal Storm Across Borders
This UK civil case adds to Tate’s escalating legal troubles in Romania, where he and his brother Tristan Tate face criminal charges of human trafficking and rape. Separate lawsuits have also been filed in the United States, painting a broader picture of alleged abuse and exploitation across multiple jurisdictions.
As scrutiny intensifies, the UK High Court case may become a critical test of Tate’s public narrative—a moment that could either dismantle his claims of innocence or embolden his defiance amid mounting accusations.
