Andrew Tate’s already bad week just got exponentially worse. The controversial alt-right influencer, who got burned something awful by Greta Thunberg, has been arrested in Romania under allegations of sex trafficking.
Andrew and his brother Tristan got popped on Thursday (Dec. 29) for an incident that occurred back in April.
Reports the New York Post:
Incendiary social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother were busted in Romania Thursday related to sex-trafficking allegations, according to a report.
Police descended on a villa Andrew Tate and brother Tristan were staying at Thursday to detain the British brothers on kidnapping and rape charges, judicial sources told Romanian outlet Libertatea.
The brothers had allegedly detained two young women — one with American citizenship and one Romanian — inside the villa against their will in April, where they were subjected to “physical violence and mental coercion,” the Daily Mail reported.
Of course, video footage of Tate getting arrested hit the Internets swiftly.
Earlier this week, Tate, who is essentially the poster boy for toxic masculinity, tried to come for activists Greta Thunberg. Instead, her curt but fierce clapback had Tate down bad and getting clowned. Sure his minions insist he won the battle, but the truth is son got owned something crazy.
Now, he is in police custody. What a time. The kicker is that Tate’s weak sauce answer to Thunberg’s sick burn is reportedly what tipped off authorities to his whereabouts.
Check out prime examples of Twitter throwing salt in the alt-right burger’s wounds to their delight in the gallery.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg put on a masterclass on how to check a troll, and all she needed was one tweet to make it happen.
Manosphere meathead Andrew Tate f**ked around and found out when he picked a fight with the wrong teen on Twitter. Known for spreading straight-up misogyny, financial scams, and other heada**ery on TikTok, Tate decided to try Greta Thunberg and mock her on Elon Musk’s Twitter.
For those who don’t know Tate, including us, he was a struggle kickboxer before he found his calling being an “alt-right influencer,” who proudly describes himself as “absolutely a sexist” and “absolutely a misogynist.”
He also believes that women “belong in the home” and were “given to the man and belong to the man.”
Yuck.
Anyway, he’s is putting he is now reinstated his Twitter account to use be an absolute d*** after Elon Musk foolish unbanned his account.
He randomly decided to troll Thunberg by boasting about his 33 cars and his “enormous emissions” in a tweet to the 19-year-old, writing:
“Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”
In response, the ever-so-witty Thunberg owned Tate, and she didn’t need all 280 characters. “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com,” she said in response.
With his ego bruised, Tate “clapped back” with a weird video of himself in a Versace bathrobe while smoking a cigar. We would share it, but it’s such an epic fail we won’t subject you to it.
As expected, Twitter loved Thunberg making Tate look minuscule on social media.
Welp.

The Tory Lanez criminal trial is underway and about to wrap up. As reporters feed information to those intrigued by the spectacle this court case has become, allowing them to form opinions, primarily false, Megan Thee Stallion, the apparent victim in all of this, has gained an unlikely supporter in Candace Owens.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Edgeless coonservative Candace Owens, who in the past has criticized Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for their raunchy hit record “WAP,” is putting on her cape for the Houston rapper.
Taking to Elon Musk’s Twitter, Owens blasted the obvious misogynoir Thee Stallion is receiving and shared a clip from her podcast calling it out.
In the caption for the tweet, she wrote, “Megan Thee Stallion has credibly accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot. She turned down hush money and has been stabbed in the back by her friends. Instead of getting showered with support, Megan was mocked. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in her position.”
Twitter, Of Course, Can’t Believe What They Saw
It’s a safe bet to assume no one foresaw Candace Owens coming to the defense of Megan Thee Stallion.
The reactions to the tweet from other Twitter users are a clear indication of that. “I promise you, I PROMISE YOU, Candace Owens speaking truth to power in the year of our Lord 2022 was not on my bingo card,” one woman wrote on Twitter.
“Wasn’t expecting this but there are some valid points. Megan Thee Stallion deserves a lot more than the laughs, jeers, hate & suspicion she’s receiving as a domestic violence victim. The way she’s being treated by the culture, hip-hop/rap community and the media is vile,” another Twitter user wrote in response to the clip.
Owens is a notorious hater; honestly, if you closed her eyes and heard her taking, you would think she’s a white woman. With this surprising turn of events, her melanin is still present, and she recognizes a fellow Black woman’s pain.
The conservative talking head also claims this is not the first time she has put on a cape for Black artists.
“I actually defend a lot of black artists on my platform. The media just never covers it when I do,” she wrote in reply to a tweet.
“Notice that despite this going viral, there are no headlines about me defending Megan,” she added.
Well, Candace, here is your headline for saying something right.
