Andrew Tate climbed a reputation in a message of strong masculinity that placed men as legal rulers over women. From his base in Romania, he promised to help guide men through “The Matrix”, his conspiracy to a world that says unjustly men and called on criminal charges against him.
Now, the sudden arrival of Mr Tate and his brother Tristan Tate in Florida are worried about women’s rights groups and women who say they have been victimized by the brothers.
Questions about whether US officials intervened to help Tates have only added concerns that their ideology will thrive, even when they face separate research in Romania and Britain.
Here’s what to know about the answer to their arrival in the country.
The defendants called the movement a “slap on the face”.
“She felt that their power knows no limits,” said Dani Pinter, a lawyer representing an American woman who accused the Tate brothers of attracting her to Romania to exploit her.
The client, who has sued the brothers in a Florida court, “was terrified and shocked” that they had come to the state, said Ms Pinter, a senior vice -president at the National Sexual Center.
After arriving, Ms Pinter described it as “a slap on the face of all the victims of the Tate brothers, especially the US victim who is not protected by her country”.
The brothers had been held in Romania by 2022, first over the accusations that romantic women in order to form a criminal group to exploit them for financial gain and then into crime categories by the British authorities.
They have denied any offense and sued one of Ms Pinter’s customers for defamation. “We have still been convicted of any crime in our lives, never,” Andrew Tate said after landing in Florida on Thursday.
Some want to be published in Britain.
Four British women who sued Andrew Tate in Britain over the allegations that he had been raped and abused, urged the British government on Friday to request the issuance of brothers from the United States immediately. The British authorities have called for their arrest in separate criminal charges of rape and trafficking in human beings.
If the government does not request the publication, “it will not only be us, it will fail, but all the British victims of alleged sexual violence,” the women said in a statement. A spokesman for the British office, who oversees the policy of police and crime, refused to say whether a request was made or received.
“I am really worried that we will see their following development and more of their fans feel they will be invincible,” said Christian F. Nunes, president of the National Women’s Organization. Officials and others have to respond to being “vocal defenders” of women and girls, she said.
Joseph McBride, a lawyer for the brothers, said on Saturday that the British government “has it” for Andrew Tate, but said claims in lawsuits were not landscaped offenses. Asked if he thought the brothers could still face the version, he said “maybe”.
“Will they stop living their lives because of the threat of another government trying to cancel them? Absolutely no,” he said. “If the United Kingdom launches them, we’ll take that head up.”
He added that the tate brothers have not been convicted of a crime anywhere.
The conservatives were divided for their arrival in the US.
The brothers, who have zealously supported President Trump, have previously found support from his associates, including President Donald Trump Jr. The young Republicans of Tampa Bay called the brothers “free reasons” and welcomed them to the state.
But commander Ron Desantis, a Republican, said the Tates were not welcome in Florida, and the State Attorney General James Uthmeier, also a Republican, said his office would conduct a “preliminary investigation” to the brothers. “Florida has zero tolerance for people trafficking and violence against women,” Mr Uthmeier said on Thursday.
Mr McBride said the Tate brothers would financially support Mr Desantis’ opposition in his next campaign for governor. “What Ron Desantis did in Florida is a shame,” he said.
Romanian officials denied any intervention by US officials in the case.
Asked if US officials intervened on behalf of the brothers, Mr McBride refused to comment.
However, ties with the administration left women’s rights groups worried that their brothers and views will be reinforced in an environment where the administration has targeted programs of diversity, justice and inclusion and protection from sex discrimination.
The Tate brothers, like Mr Trump, have drawn the genuine pain experienced by men and boys as they fight with loneliness, suicide, drugs and the feeling that their identities as men have been demonized, said Cynthia Miller-Indriss.
The brothers have sold access to an electronic community and lessons that have promised to teach men how to use women to build wealth.
They offer the narrative, said Dr. Miller-Idriss, that “you can go back to the top-all you have to do is dominate women”.
“To some extent, many boys and men feel that the things no one else will say,” he said, “and the Maga campaign and the Trump campaign have done the same thing.”
Still face surveys.
What is happening now that the brothers are in the United States remain unclear.
The Romanian prosecutors did not name the brothers, but said that two British US citizens who were able to leave Romania would still have to appear before a court there when he was called. Although a indictment against them in Romania withdrew, investigations into sex trafficking charges are still active.
Mr McBride, a brothers’ lawyer, said the brothers would travel between the United States and Romania until the case was resolved. They have a court date there this month, he said, and the brothers are also required to naturally check with the authorities there every 90 days.
Without an active indictment, the lifting of a travel ban against the Tate brothers was legal, said Silvia Tabusca, a law lecturer at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest.
“If they do not return, they will face an international warrant and international action,” he said.
But it is possible, he said, that the United States could decide to protect them by arguing that the Romanian judicial system is not fair.
Vice President JD Vance criticized the Romanian Republic in a speech last month in Germany after Romania canceled the results of its presidential elections after finding Russian intervention.
However, Ms Tabusca said that because the potential accusations faced by the brothers are carrying large prison sentences, the investigation in Romania is likely to continue even if they are absent. “They do not go beyond these charges,” he said.
