Was Andrew Tate released? What did Andrew Tate say about his jail cell?

Andrew Tate was one of 2022's most divisive personalities, and he remains so after being arrested and jailed in Romania on charges of rape, human trafficking, and organized crime.

The notorious social media figure remains active on Twitter despite his arrest. Tate grabbed media attention for his misogynistic outbursts and viewpoints, such as suggesting that women are the property of men. He has a large following among the young and autonomous men who hail him as the face of the masculinist movement.

Currently in prison in Romania on allegations of human trafficking, Tate has kept his devoted fan base up to date via Twitter. He has been tweeting about the "inhumane" treatment he is receiving behind bars. Tate wrote an email to his supporters in which he described the terrible conditions of his prison cell:

"They are trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell without light. Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night. When the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful. They try to pour hatred into my heart.”

On February 5, 2023, Andrew Tate declared via his Twitter account that he will be donating a large sum of money to establish a charity to help men who have been victimized by unfounded accusations. He's promised $100 million to help this cause. His imprisonment continues despite his denial of all charges, and a Romanian court has already rejected his appeal twice. This ensures that 'Cobra' and his brother will spend time behind bars at least until February 27, 2023.

Andrew Tate's ex-girlfriend reveals shocking details about the social media star

A British woman, whose identity has been kept private, has come forward to say that she was in a relationship with Andrew Tate. She told the BBC that once he convinced her to work for his webcam company, he became abusive and controlling.

Despite not disclosing the name of their business, the Tate brothers generated their first million dollars via an adult webcam studio where they brought their girlfriends to work as models for paying customers.

According to Andrew Tate's ex-girlfriend, she fell victim to Tate's persuasive ways. She's now assisting the prosecution in their probe. Revealing the details on the BBC Radio 4 program 'File on 4', she said that Tate randomly messaged her on Facebook and tried to charm her:

"He was sort of luring me into believing that he was somebody that I could trust and someone that genuinely wanted to build a connection with me... I was at a stage of my life where everything felt a bit boring and a bit dull and this idea of an adventure just seemed attractive."

Speaking about how dominant and violent Tate can be, she added:

"Most of the violence was sexual, that's obviously something that he's into. He likes to feel completely in control of the woman and feel like he could take their life away at any second. That is a big sexual turn on for him."
