Andrew Tate Threatened Woman With Gun, Said ‘Obey Me,’ Court Docs Reveal.
Four women in the U.K. are suing the disgraced influencer in a civil case accusing him of assault, rape, and psychological abuse.
Four women in the U.K. are suing controversial Internet personality Andrew Tate. One woman has reportedly accused him of threatening her with a gun, as stated in various reports.
The women have charged Tate, 38, with assault, rape, and coercive control, asserting that the alleged incidents occurred in the U.K. towns of Luton and Hitchin between 2013 and 2015, according to High Court documents cited by the BBC, The Independent, and The Telegraph. Two of the women were said to have been in relationships with Tate during 2013 and 2014, while the other two were employed by his webcam business, as reported by The Independent.
The publication also mentioned that three of the women had previously filed complaints against him with the police, but the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided not to proceed with the charges in 2019.
Tate — who is also facing a mix of separate criminal and civil charges in Romania, the U.K. and the U.S. has refuted all allegations made against him and has not been found guilty of any offenses. He asserted that the most recent claims are "untrue" and that the women "were not under his control and did not act as if they were." This information was reported by The Independent.
One of the four women who filed the civil case against Tate, known as AA, claimed he "threatened [her] daily" while she was working for him in 2015. At one point, she alleged that he threatened her with a gun held to her face, during which he referred to himself as "a boss" and a "G," stating, "You're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay," as reported by the BBC. AA also recounted that Tate purportedly "grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against the wall, rendering her unable to move" on two separate occasions, with the outlet noting that Tate has denied these allegations.
AA mentioned that she would stay with Tate and his brother Tristan, 36, who was arrested alongside him in Romania in 2022 as part of an investigation into human trafficking, rape, and the formation of a criminal organization aimed at sexually exploiting women, according to The Independent. She accused Andrew of raping her at a Hilton Hotel in Luton and claimed that he assaulted her a second time within the following two months.
According to reports from the BBC, another woman referred to as BB has accused Tate of making it abundantly clear that she was "his," threatening violence against anyone who interacted with her. She claimed that she had to lock herself in the bathroom while Tate allegedly threatened to "beat the s--- out of" her. In response, Tate stated that his relationship with BB was "loving and affectionate" until just before she stopped working for the business, once again refuting the allegations against him.
One of the women involved in the civil case, whom the BBC called "Sienna," said that sex between the pair was consensual initially, but accused him of then starting to "strangle" her, she told the outlet.
"I passed out, and he carried on having sex with me," she told the publication. Tate denies strangling the woman, saying he "may have put a hand on her neck but there was no restriction of her breathing," per the BBC.
Sienna also asserted in a court filing that she had observed a firearm on Tate's sofa in late 2014, stating that she was uncertain whether it was genuine or a replica. In response, Tate remarked that while there might have been a toy gun in the apartment, the fourth claimant, Sienna, had never mentioned it, as reported by the BBC. The Telegraph reported that one of the women alleged that Tate had strangled her to such an extent that she developed red petechiae around her eyes, a condition resulting from broken capillaries and often associated with asphyxiation.
Four women, who claim to have developed long-term mental health issues due to Tate's alleged actions, are pursuing damages in civil court for "assaults, batteries, and intentional infliction of harm."
Matt Jury, an attorney from McCue Jury & Partners representing the women, stated that his clients feel they have "been denied justice by the police and CPS, while witnessing Andrew Tate's influence expand," according to the BBC.
"They have no alternative but to pursue their case in the High Court to hold Tate accountable," he further remarked.
A preliminary hearing for the case is scheduled for April 15 at 10:30 a.m. local time at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, as confirmed by the High Court.
Andrew Ford, an attorney from Holborn Adams representing Tate, issued a statement asserting, "These allegations are categorically denied and will be vigorously contested in court."
"The allegations, including the reference to a gun, were fully investigated by the Police. No gun was found when the Police conducted their searches. When the case was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service they took the decision not to charge Mr Tate with ANY offence," he added.
"This must have been on the basis that they formed the view that there was insufficient prospect of conviction were the case to have been taken to Court. Given the specifics of the claim, one can see why they formed that view," Ford's statement concluded.
In the last ten years, the Tate brothers have become well-known — and have amassed a significant following on social media — due to their promotion of toxic masculinity online, characterized by sexist remarks, hate speech, and extravagant displays of wealth.
The recent civil case in the U.K. against Andrew Tate marks the latest chapter in a series of legal troubles the brothers have encountered since their arrest in Romania in 2022.
In June 2023, Romanian authorities charged the brothers with human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal organization aimed at sexually exploiting women, leading to their placement under house arrest. However, in December 2024, a Romanian appeals court determined that the case could not proceed to trial due to various legal and procedural irregularities on the part of the prosecutors, according to the Associated Press. The case has since been sent back to the prosecutors and remains open.
Additionally, in March 2024, the brothers faced further charges stemming from a U.K. arrest warrant related to alleged sexual aggression. They are also under criminal investigation in Florida, USA.
McCue Jury & Partners, representing the claimants, did not provide an immediate response when contacted for comment.
The allegations against Andrew Tate are serious—and they deserve to be treated that way. This civil case isn’t just about headlines or online personas; it’s about women who say they were harmed, ignored, and denied justice.
Regardless of the outcome, the case raises uncomfortable but necessary questions about how power, visibility, and influence can shape accountability. When people in the public eye are accused of abuse, the response too often becomes a debate about image rather than impact.
Listening to survivors isn’t about taking sides. It’s about recognizing that silence has a cost—and that cost shouldn’t fall on them.
