Among other things, the scandal brothers are accused of rape, human trafficking and bodily harm. You can read more about it here:
The Tates like to cultivate the image of the tough alpha male who isn’t intimidated by anything. This is probably how a recent tweet from the British-American dual citizen can be explained by describing his allegedly extremely harsh prison conditions in his current prison in the USA.
He is being held in the so-called SHU area, the “Special Housing Unit” of prisons in the USA. Criminals who have committed serious violations of the rules, for example if they have been violent towards fellow prisoners, are usually locked up there for isolation. Prison conditions there are actually particularly harsh, with inmates being left in solitary confinement in their cells for up to 24 hours a day. Contact with the outside world is usually completely prevented.
Tate also describes this in his tweet. In addition, there are no guards and no visitors, the Manosphere guru continued. But the fact that Tate sent this information via Tweet shares with his followers, diametrically contradicts his claims regarding isolation and ban on contact with the outside world.
The fact that there could be something fishy didn’t go unnoticed by social media users – the ridicule that Tate is receiving is correspondingly great. In particular, his additional description that his cellmate is a cannibal who screams all night long causes amusement. Here are some reactions to Tate’s post.
Tate’s post from the alleged total isolation.
The well-known British journalist Piers Morgan, who interviewed Tate on his show years ago, asks the most obvious question of all in connection with the alleged lack of contact with the outside world:
“Then how can you post this?”
Other social media users also emphasized that something wasn’t quite right about Tate’s statements:
“No contact with the outside world”
«Send Tweet*»
«No contact with the outside world posted live on X. High-security WiFi is a completely different matter.”
Poor Hannibal.
“Breaking: Hannibal Lecter receives letters of pity because he has to spend another night in the cell next to Andrew Tate.”
This message is unmistakable.
“Not even a starving cannibal would eat this a**.”
In other ways, too, the alleged cannibal seems to receive more sympathy than his cell neighbor.
“Andrew Tate says he’s being locked up in solitary confinement next to a cannibal who screams all night and everyone feels sorry for the cannibal.”
