In the “Adolescence” series, influencer Andrew Tate is quoted as an exponent of a misogynist movement that would have motivated the murder that is the center of history. Tate self -proclaims “misogynist” and gained notoriety after participating in Big Brother British, as well as being world kickboxing champion four times.
The four-episode series explores how online influencers’ ideas such as Andrew Tate can shape the opinions of children addicted to smartphones and lead them to violence.

But what would lead a teenager to murder a schoolmate for motivations linked to the influencer? Tate, who has millions of followers on social networks, addresses the central theme of the series: toxic masculinity and its devastating effects, especially but not exclusively, for young people. Although it is also a protagonist of the debate, the internet plays a crucial role in the dissemination of hatred ideals against women and creating an environment conducive to online violence.
Tate, before being raised to celebrity status with more than 10 million followers in the X, spent only six days in the UK Big Brother before she was expelled. His permanence was shortened by the promotion of a video in which he assaulted a woman. The former fighter said the video had been edited to harm his image and “make him look bad.”
According to interviews that the influencer has already given, before reaching the ultra -luxurious lifestyle he currently boasts, his childhood was humble and he even fetched food remains in KFC garbage cans.

In addition to ostentation, what sustains its content is an ultra -conservative ideology that preaches male accountability for women and the naturalization of crimes such as rape. In a post, the influencer stated that women should assume their own responsibility when they are violated and that men who allow their wives to work to be exposing the risk of harassment and sexual violence.
Arrests
Tate has been arrested a few times and will be tried again in 2027. The influencer will face a trial in 2027 in civil proceedings of four women for supposed physical and sexual abuse, in a case that his lawyers claim to be the first of its type in the UK on coercive control allegations.
The four authors, whose identities were preserved, claim that Tate subjected them to physical or sexual violence between 2013 and 2015. Two of them say they were in an intimate relationship with Tate, while two worked for their online webcam company.

Women’s lawyers say in the file that one of them was threatened with a gun while Tate said “you will do what I will send or will pay dearly,” while another claims that Tate strangled her until she got unconscious during sex.
Tate denies the allegations, and his lawyers claim in his written defense that the accusations are false and that all sexual activity was consensual. Tate’s lawyer, Vanessa Marshall, said he-who did not attend the brief hearing on Tuesday and was not forced to do so-intends to present evidence in his defense during the trial.
The authors’ lawyer, Anne Studd, said that “this will be the first occasion when coercive control will be taken to the Supreme Court in a civil context,” to decide whether it is equivalent to intentional damage according to English law. Studd described coercive control in the case file as “a form of enticing and manipulation in which the victim becomes less and less able to respond to what can be perceived as a normal form.”

Tate and his brother Tristan are being investigated in a criminal case in Romania for allegations of organized criminal group formation, adult and minor trafficking, sexual intercourse and money laundering, which they deny.
The duo traveled to the United States in February after Romanian prosecutors suspend the ban on travel, and returned to Romania last month to fulfill legal obligations.
“Great Farsa”
One of Tate’s ventures was a webcam site for adult content. “I had 75 women working for me in four locations and earned $ 600,000 a month with webcams,” he said in a publication.

The influencer’s brother, Tristan Tate, also stated that their main business was “a great scam,” in which women deceived men under his command to get money through false situations.
