However, according to Knight, this desire turned into an obsession. From here, the former kickboxing sponsor said Tate determined that in order to get more famous, generating online controversy was the route to go.
Knight then says Tate went down a “dark road” of purposefully rubbing folks the wrong way for the sake of getting attention. In another interesting twist, Tate’s former friend states he thinks the online influencer is playing a character he may not even truly believe in, all for the sake of making money.
The idea of Tate playing a character and not believing what he says about women has been floated by other folks. However, Romania authorities are still holding Tate on charges that include rape and human trafficking.
Video clips of Tate saying he takes women on dates and sleeps with them before getting them to perform on webcam also exist. At the same time, women have accused Tate of rape and a WhatsApp voice clip features Tate stating he “loved” raping a woman.
Flying too close to the sun?
It is Knight’s view that Andrew Tate didn’t expect to become as infamous as he has. The former kickboxing sponsor also believes Tate “threw himself under the bus,” leaving him now trying to get out of it.
