The Taliban are concerned. But they do not tremble for one of their own, but for the macho influencer Andrew Tate (36). That is what former beauty queen Sameera Khan (31) claims, an ardent supporter of the influencer.
The alleged rapist was arrested in Romania for human trafficking. Khan announced on Saturday that he wanted to exchange thoughts with Taliban representatives on Twitter about Tate’s arrest. The Taliban “say the West needs Andrew Tate because the people are oppressed by feminists,” the self-proclaimed “anti-Woke journalist” tweeted.
Tate brothers allegedly forced women into sex and pornography
Twitter Spaces allows users to have live conversations on the platform through an audio chat room, selecting certain people as “speakers” and others as “listeners”.
Whether members of the Taliban were actually among the participants in the Twitter space cannot be independently verified. A screenshot circulated on Twitter on Monday, which should show the participants. In October 2022, Tate announced on the right-wing social media platform Gettr that he had converted to Islam.
Andrew and his brother Tristan have been detained for 30 days since Friday. This has been decided by a court in Bucharest. The decision was preceded by a five-hour interrogation and three-hour deliberations.
The brothers and two other suspects are charged with forming a criminal gang for the purpose of “recruiting, harboring and exploiting women by forcing them to produce pornographic content for use on relevant paid websites”. (nad)
