Andrew Tate tells BBC “I did you a favour with the interview”

Tate said a woman interviewed anonymously by the BBC as "imaginary"

Newsroom June 2 10:53

Andrew Tate has denied fuelling a culture of misogyny and defended his reputation in a combative interview with the BBC. He told BBC that he did it a favour for letting the crew interview him in Romania.

When the BBC put a range of allegations against him – including specific accusations of rape, human trafficking, and exploiting women, for which he is being investigated by Romanian prosecutors – he dismissed them.

When pushed on whether his controversial views on women harmed young people, the influencer claimed he was a “force for good” and that he was “acting under the instruction of God to do good things”.

This was Mr Tate’s first television interview with a major broadcaster since being released into house arrest from police custody in Romania in April.

Mr Tate, who has repeatedly expressed his mistrust of traditional media, has a huge following online but his views have until now gone unchallenged in a direct interview like this.

He agreed to the interview with no set conditions.

He dismissed the testimonies of individual women involved in the current investigation who have accused him of rape and exploitation.

And he described another woman, interviewed anonymously by the BBC earlier this year, as “imaginary”, saying she had been invented by the BBC.
