Manosphere influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by federal agents Saturday afternoon in Miami, according to the AP. Charges against the brothers were not immediately made public.

This is not the first time the Tate brothers have found themselves handcuffed. In 2022, controversial media personalities were arrested in Romania by anti-terrorism authorities on charges of human trafficking and rape. In 2023, Andrew and Tristan were officially charged with those crimes by the Romanian government, according to the BBC.

Andrew Tate has continually denied any wrongdoing. In 2023, after being released from house arrest, he told the media: “We have been completely innocent from the beginning of this, and I have to give absolute faith to the Romanian judicial system to finally make the right decision and set us free.”

According to Reuters, a Romanian court recently lifted all preventive judicial control measures against the Tates while authorities conduct further investigations into their charges.

In May 2025, the BBC reported that British prosecutors authorized 21 charges against Andrew and Tristian Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm, and human trafficking. Andrew Tate faces 10 charges related to three alleged victims, while Tristan Tate faces 11 charges related to one alleged victim.

Andrew Tate first appeared in the public eye as a guest on the UK’s “Big Brother” in 2016. He was later removed from the show after a video surfaced in which he appeared to be hitting a woman with a belt. Andrew Tate and the women later claimed that the actions were consensual. Since then, he has risen to internet stardom as a controversial and hypermasculine influencer.
