McBride argued that Stern’s allegations cost Tate more than $50 million in damages, including lost sponsorships, cancelled deals, and damage to his public persona. He accused Stern of pursuing profit and fame at Tate’s expense.

Pattern of Intimidation?
Tate, along with his brother Tristan, is no stranger to legal battles. Prosecutors in Romania identified 35 alleged victims in a sex trafficking investigation involving the brothers, who also face charges of rape, assault, and human trafficking in the UK. Several women are suing them in the London High Court.
Critics argue that Tate’s counter-suits represent a SLAPP lawsuit strategy, meant to silence and intimidate accusers. Attorneys for women suing the brothers describe the lawsuits as “a systematic campaign of intimidation and harassment.”
Financial Seizures
Beyond the criminal allegations, Tate is facing financial scrutiny. UK police confirmed on Friday that they seized a $240,000 deposit Tate made on an Aston Martin Valhalla amid accusations of unpaid taxes and money laundering. According to BBC News, this sum will be added to $3.7 million already confiscated from the Tate brothers in December 2024.
Ongoing Global Legal Battle
As Andrew and Tristan Tate await trials in Romania and the UK, the allegations against them continue to mount. While Tate insists the accusations are lies designed to destroy him, his critics argue his lawsuits are designed to intimidate and silence women. With a civil trial scheduled for 2026 in Britain, Tate’s legal woes are far from over.
