"Don't you actually think it's crazy, there’s an active genocide taking place right now and they are blowing children apart with military-grade weapons and here we are two years later after one woman told a lie and international reporters flying around the world and the government is spending money in courtrooms and the media is constantly talking about this one little girl’s lie when something as unjust as a genocide is taking place. Isn’t the world insane, Isn’t this a clown show, Isn’t this all just a big clown’s world, nothing is fair nothing makes sense, don’t you take a look around and ask what is going on?"
STORYLINE:
A judge says controversial social media personality Andrew Tate's defamation lawsuit against a Florida woman who accused him of imprisoning her in Romania can go to trial, but he threw out Tate's allegations against her parents and some allegations against the woman.
Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Joseph Curley ruled that the widely followed former professional kickboxer, 37, and his brother, Tristan, 36, can present their allegations to a jury that the woman in 2022 enlisted another woman in a plot to extort money from them.
The British-American brothers say the woman falsely accused them of human trafficking and rape, costing them their freedom and millions of dollars in income from their lucrative social media, podcasting and business ventures. Romanian officials indicted the Tates last year, saying the brothers forced seven victims into pornography and subjected them to physical violence.
Her attorneys say the lawsuit is in retribution for her reporting him to authorities. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted.
Curley said in last week's ruling, posted to online court records Tuesday, that the Tates' attorneys have shown enough possible evidence that the woman defamed their clients and was attempting to defraud and extort them to warrant a trial. He pointed to April 2022 text messages the woman and her friend exchanged where they say they will ask the Tates for $200,000 and “act like we still love them and stuff."
Curley also pointed to other text messages that could indicate the woman knew she falsely accused the Tates of sex trafficking and false imprisonment. No trial date has been set and because of discovery and legal challenges it could be years before one occurs.
Curley did throw out parts of the lawsuit accusing the woman of false imprisonment for the Tates being arrested, intentional infliction of emotional distress and interfering with their business relationships. He left the door open to their attorneys amending and refiling those accusations.
Curley dismissed the Tates’ accusations that the woman’s parents defamed them when they told American diplomatic officials about their daughter’s allegations. He said they had no reason to believe their daughter's accusations were false and had a right to report them.
Attorneys for the Tates and the woman each said Curley's decision was a win for their side.
“THE SHAM CASE IS FALLING APART,” Andrew Tate wrote on the social media platform X.

Tate as a Muslim was the first one to protest the Olympics for mocking Jesus. That’s a Muslim right there. I’ll die for Jesus as a Muslim. But the Olympics mocking Jesus and the first person to stand out publicly outside protesting not even being Christian just shows the irony in how Christian’s are too tolerant. There are still good Christian’s out there but most don’t follow or even read their book. Most have never read a whole chapter of their book out of their own will.

[@XEzomoX]

​@bakhtiaruddin1582 Oh, shut up, Christians did protest where they even had to apologize. Muslims just kill people who offend them because they are sensitive.

Two facts: There are many women in the world that lied about men rping them. And there are many men that rped women. Hopefully there is unbiased research done on the tate case and any other of every human. Everyone deserves a fair trial. If tate is really guilty then I personally think he must get punished. If he ain't then ok.

[@Thezazaas]

Good thing he isn’t guilty then

[@bakhtiaruddin1582]

Btw they don’t tell u this anywhere in the media but the rape charge got dropped the first month after they were arrested in December 29 2023. But the media and prosecution can somehow go away with putting false information in the case files which clearly aren’t true according to the Romanian court. So everyone thought he was a rapist and trafficker when in fact the court dropped his rape charge the first month 3 whole years ago. So no he wasn’t a rapist and you’re very under informed for not knowing this. Tates lawyers even said this in the first bbc interview after being released on house arrest. Bust best of luck brother keep striving for the truth.

[@Proparkourgamer]

if he was guilty then why is he roaming around Romania? more than 2 years and they still have nothing on him. All they do is postpone the final decision just to waste time

[@PetriTemiseva]

​@@ProparkourgamerHow old are you? If you are 14 or older you should be able to do even some basic research before making comments based on child's logic. Romania changed laws in 2003. Now it is standard procedure to release suspects to judicial control after they have been indicted. The threshold for ordering restrictive measures, detention or house arrest or judicial control is the same. Secondly, you are impying that Andrew is delusional. He has used every preliminary chamber hearing to argue that some (of the 70,000 pages total) evidence should be ruled inadmissable. Is he fighting something that does not even exist? Andrew is postponing the trial because he knows that he will be convicted. Bank statements are impossible to be debunked. And prosecution has those.

[@kokoyaro]

Written like a true bot or agent of the matrix. In other words, if the government decided to lock him up then that would convince you that he was guilty. Mandela was locked up for 27 years. Julian Assange was deprived of his freedom for over a decade. These people are likely guilty in your eyes because the government said so. You have a long way to go with common sense
