In her complaint, Tate’s ex-girlfriend, Brianna Stern, argues that his abusive treatment of her follows a long pattern of making blatant misogyny part of his brand. She said he initially acted effusively loving and generous to lure her into a relationship that later turned abusive.

Brianna Stern of Los Angeles accused Andrew Tate of beating and choking her while they were in a relationship, according to a complaint. Mr. Tate, through his lawyers, denied her allegations.

Andrew Tate’s ex-girlfriend Bri Stern said the self-described misogynist repeatedly threatened to rape and kill her — as she filed a lawsuit against him for allegedly strangling her during sex.
