Bummer: Andrew Tate Loses Appeal Against House Arrest

Men’s rights influencer Andrew Tate, the ex-kickboxer and Big Brother contestant lost an appeal on Thursday against a court’s earlier decision to keep him under house arrest. Tate, who has said that women belong in the home, can’t drive, and are a man’s property, is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking, and forming a criminal gang to exploit women sexually. And now, it’s Tate who belongs at home.

The Associated Press reports:

The Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled against Tate’s appeal, which challenged a court’s June 23 decision to extend the house arrest measure for 30 more days as the criminal case continues.

That decision was made days after Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, formally indicted the 36-year-old social media star along with his brother Tristan, and two Romanian women in the same case. All four were initially arrested near Romania’s capital in late December, and have denied the allegations against them.

Before the appeal court’s final ruling on Thursday, two judges had disagreed on whether or not to uphold the house arrest measure, so a third judge was brought in to preside over the ruling.

The Tate brothers’ spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, said the judges’ initial decision wasn’t unanimous and that offered hope even though they lost the appeal, because for the first time since their arrest, “a judge has ruled that the brothers should be allowed to move freely in Romania, without restrictions.”

Tate responded on Twitter.

Sure, the guy who once said, “18 to 19-year-old women are more attractive than 25-year-olds because they’ve been through less dick,” is totally innocent of trafficking. I’ll bet he wishes he could take some of his disgusting comments about women back.

Tate has spent quite a bit of his life demeaning women, gay people, and others. This is called karma, and it’s spelled, haha fuck you.
