Tristan Tate (born July 15, 1988) is an American-British internet personality and former professional kickboxer.[1] In 2011, he first came to attention by appearing on the British reality television series Shipwrecked: The Island.[2] According to Storm Gym, he is a two-time ISKA British Kickboxing Champion.[3] Tate, alongside his older brother Andrew,[4] gained a notable internet following during 2022 by creating controversial content, promoting their online courses and appearing on podcasts.[5][6] The content that he and his brother creates has been accused of being misogynistic.[7][8][9]

On December 29, 2022, Tristan and his brother Andrew were arrested in Bucharest, Romania along with two women; all four are suspected of creating an organized crime group and human trafficking. Romanian police and the DIICOT allege that the group forced women to create pornographic content for specialized websites on social media.[10] On March 31, the group were all moved to house arrest while the authorities continue the investigation. Prosecutors have until late June to send the case to trial.[11][12]

Early life

Tate was born in Chicago, Illinois.[3] His father was Emory Tate, an AAfrican-American chess International Master.[13] His mother, was a British catering assistant.[14] After his parents divorced, his mother took him, along with his brother and sister, back to England,[15] where his parents had originally met. After returning to England his mother raised Tate with his siblings on a council estate in Luton.[14]

Career

Kickboxing career

Tate started kickboxing when he was a teenager. He trained with his older brother Andrew at a local gym in Luton.[16] During his whole career, he won 43 fights and lost 9 fights while completing the light heavyweight division.[3] He became the European champion twice. He retired from the sport after he got in a car accident that ended up permanently injuring his shoulder.[17]

Shipwrecked

When Tate was 23 years old he was a contestant on the British reality television show Shipwrecked: The Island.[2][3]

Online ventures

During the summer of 2022, Tate and his brother amassed a huge following on social media, both promoting an "ultra-masculine, ultra-luxurious lifestyle". The Tate's content has been accused of being misogynistic by critics like Hope not Hate, an anti-extremism advocacy group, which has said that the Tate's social media presence might present a "dangerous slip road into the far-right" for their audience.[18] Unlike his brother, Tate wasn't banned on Instagram or Twitter and still has his accounts on there.[2]

Romanian criminal investigation

On the April 11, 2022, the Tate brother's villa in Pipera was raided by the Romanian police, after someone had alerted the U.S. embassy that an American woman might be held at their property.[19] The investigation was later taken over by Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) and expanded to include human trafficking and rape allegations.[20] On April 27, the Romanian police said that no person had been charged or arrested in the case. Both of the brothers denied any wrongdoing.

Later that same year, on December 29, the Tates were arrested in Bucharest along with two Romanian women.[21] The group are all suspected of human trafficking and forming an organized crime group, and one of them (unidentified due to Romanian law) is suspected of rape. The DIICOT accuses the Tates of having coerced victims into creating sexually explicit content for websites such as OnlyFans, as part of an organized crime group the Tate brothers allegedly formed in early 2021. Prosecutors say they found six women who had been sexually exploited by the suspects.[22][16]

The four were all held in police custody from the day that they were arrested until March 31, 2023, when a Bucharest court placed them under house arrest.[23][24] On April 25, while still under house arrest, the DIICOT added an additional charge against Tristan for inciting others to violence.[23][25] On the same day, a spokesperson for the prosecutors said they were also looking into accusations of money laundering, but had not yet issued any charges.[23]

Personal life

Tate confirmed on an Instagram story that he has a daughter, but is private about his exact number of children and chooses to keep them out of the spotlight.[26][16] AccorAndrew, but not close to his sister due to their conflicting political views.[2][5][16]
