In brief
A model from Los Angeles has initiated a lawsuit against controversial influencer Andrew Tate, presenting grave accusations of physical and sexual assault, which Tate has publicly denied through his legal representatives.
Brianna Stern, who was involved in a relationship with Tate that began in July, filed her civil complaint in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. She alleges that during their time together, which included a hotel stay in California this month, Tate subjected her to choking, physical beatings, and psychological control alongside verbal degradation.This lawsuit represents another legal challenge for Tate, who is already facing scrutiny from authorities in Romania and Britain over serious allegations related to human trafficking, money laundering, and sexual crimes. Tate and his brother, Tristan, had previously been under house arrest in Romania due to these investigations before being allowed to depart in February.Tate's U.S. legal team responded to the accusations, characterizing them as a “blatant cash grab” from Stern, suggesting that her motivations stem from a desire for money and public attention rather than a pursuit of justice. The 30-page lawsuit details the alleged threats and psychological control that Tate exerted over Stern during their relationship, presenting a stark contrast to the influencer's public persona and statements.
