Andrew Tate is firmly denying accusations made by a woman who claims he assaulted her during an intimate encounter two weeks ago, leading her to file a police report.
A representative for Tate told TMZ, "Andrew Tate completely refutes this baseless accusation and will take legal action against anyone involved in spreading this false claim."
Bri Stern and Andrew Tate
The woman, Bri Stern, alleges that Tate violently choked her during their time together at the Beverly Hills Hotel on March 11. She later reported the incident to the police. Photos obtained by TMZ appear to show bruises on Stern’s face, which she claims resulted from the encounter.
Tate's legal team is pushing back against the allegations, directly addressing the images. "Once again, the media is pushing a one-sided story without considering the facts. The photos? Not taken in the Beverly Hills Hotel bathroom, nor at night. There’s no bruising—no actual proof," his team stated.
Furthermore, Tate’s representatives suggest Stern’s accusations stem from personal resentment, saying she had willingly spent several nights with him and later became upset when he refused to arrange a private jet for her trip to New York City.
Sources indicate that Stern did travel to New York shortly after the alleged incident for work. While there, she visited the emergency room and was diagnosed with "post-concussive syndrome."
Additionally, TMZ obtained screenshots of alleged messages between Tate and Stern, in which he seemingly references hitting her. In response, Tate’s legal team dismissed the screenshots, arguing that "There is no verification, no metadata—nothing concrete. In an age where AI can generate fake conversations instantly, it’s astonishing how quickly unverified screenshots are treated as ‘evidence’ when they fit a certain narrative."
Tate’s team insists his version of events contradicts the prevailing media narrative, stating, "It’s much easier to publish a sensational headline than to investigate the facts." They also argue that Tate and his brother have been unfairly villainized, concluding, "The Tates have been turned into media scapegoats, but when examined under real legal scrutiny, these accusations will not hold up in court."
