Model Accuses Controversial Influencer Andrew Tate of Assault in New Lawsuit

In a civil suit filed by Brianna Stern, Andrew Tate faces accusations of physical and sexual abuse amid other ongoing investigations into his activities. Tate's legal team has dismissed the claims as baseless.

A model based in Los Angeles, Brianna Stern, has filed a civil lawsuit against Andrew Tate, the polarizing social media influencer known for his contentious views on women, accusing him of serious sexual and physical abuse during their relationship, which reportedly began last July. The complaint, submitted last Thursday in Superior Court in Los Angeles County, alleges that Tate engaged in behaviors including choking, beating, and verbal degradation.

This lawsuit marks the latest in a series of legal challenges for the influencer, who is currently under investigation by authorities in both the United Kingdom and Romania for allegations including human trafficking, money laundering, and other sex-related crimes. In February, Tate and his brother Tristan, who also faces legal scrutiny, were released from two years of intermittent house arrest in Romania.

In response to the allegations made by Stern, Tate's legal representatives have strongly denied the claims, characterizing the lawsuit as a "blatant cash grab" fueled by the woman’s desire for notoriety and financial gain rather than a pursuit of genuine justice. "Ms. Stern has chosen to air her false claims in the press, revealing her true motives: money and attention," they stated.

The 30-page lawsuit elaborates on Stern's experiences, claiming that Tate threatened her with violence and exerted psychological control over her during the duration of their relationship. As Tate continues to confront significant legal hurdles, the ramifications of this latest lawsuit could influence both his public perception and ongoing investigations.
