Court Documents Allege Tate Threatened Woman with Gun

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate is at the center of a serious civil lawsuit in the UK, where four women have accused him of rape, physical assault, coercive control, and violent threats, including allegedly pointing a gun at one of them.

According to court documents reviewed by the BBC, the allegations date back to incidents that reportedly occurred between 2013 and 2015 in Luton and Hitchin, England. The women are now seeking damages in the UK High Court.

“You’re going to do as I say or there’ll be hell to pay,” Tate allegedly said while pointing a gun at one claimant’s face, court documents state.
 

The lawsuit outlines a pattern of alleged abuse, with Tate accused of:

• Raping and strangling a woman working at his webcam business in 2015
   
• Strangling two women so frequently they suffered petechiae (broken blood vessels in their eyes)
   
• Telling a woman, “I'm just debating whether to rape you or not” before allegedly assaulting her
   
• Continuing to have sex with another woman, known as “Sienna,” after she lost consciousness
   
• Threatening to kill a woman and anyone who spoke to her
   
• Forcing a woman to barricade herself in a bathroom during a violent outburst
   

Three of the women previously reported Tate to UK police, but in 2019, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) declined to file charges. Now, the women are turning to civil litigation for justice.

In a written defense submitted to the High Court, Andrew Tate denies all allegations, describing them as a “pack of lies” and “gross fabrications.” He argues the claims are too old to be legally actionable and that critical evidence — like emails and messages — has been lost over time.

In response to “Sienna’s” claims about being strangled during sex until she passed out, Tate says he may have “put a hand on her neck” but denies causing any harm or restricting her breathing.

The documents also describe how one woman allegedly saw a gun on Tate’s sofa and became fearful. She told the BBC, “I didn’t know if it was real or fake, but it made me feel unsafe.” Tate insists it may have been a toy gun, and denies using it to threaten anyone.

Another claimant said Tate pinned her to the wall by her throat, while another alleges he claimed to have killed people to instill fear and control.

All four women say they suffer from long-term mental health issues as a result of their alleged abuse. Their lawyer, Matt Jury of McCue Jury & Partners, said:

“They’ve been denied justice by police and CPS, while watching Tate grow into a powerful online figure. They’re now using the High Court to finally hold him accountable.”
 

The UK civil case is just one of several ongoing legal battles facing Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate. Across three countries, they face:

• Human trafficking, rape, and money laundering charges in Romania
   
• Criminal investigation in Florida, USA
   
• Civil lawsuit in Los Angeles by ex-girlfriend Brianna Stern, accusing Andrew Tate of sexual assault and gender violence
   

In 2023, Tate and his brother were detained in Bucharest, following a UK-issued arrest warrant related to the same timeframe as the current civil case (2012–2015).

Recently, a Romanian travel ban on the Tate brothers was lifted, allowing them to travel to Dubai and the U.S. “It’s horrible to see,” said Sienna, noting how it sends a disturbing message of impunity.

“If he can get away with this, other men might think they can too,” she said.
 

Sienna added that the UK should be doing much more to push for Tate’s extradition.

The first High Court hearing in the civil case is scheduled for April 15, 2025. The outcome could have significant implications not only for the claimants but also for Tate’s growing online influence and the broader fight against gender-based violence.
