Andrew Tate and brother, Tristan file lawsuits in California suing Meta and TikTok for kicking the pair off their platforms in 2022. The lawsuits allege defamation and unlawful deplatforming. They clailm the banning of their accounts was a politically motivated, campaign to suppress, and destroy" their reputations and livelihoods, not a neutral enforcement of platform rules. They also claim Meta and TikTok defamed them by making "reckless, and inflammatory statements portraying Tate as a sex trafficker—without evidence, without trial, and without due process". The brothers are seeking over $50 million in compensatory damages from each company.

This in the midst of new assault claims against the Tate brothers. Lauren Southern, a right-wing Canadian political influencer, writes in her Substack that she met Andrew Tate on a trip to Bucharest.

At 22, Southern approached Tate with a business proposition. She says on that 2018 trip, Tate choked and assaulted her while she was intoxicated. The self-published memoir is titled “This Is Not Real Life.”

Kickboxer and media influencer Andrew Tate is charged with rape, human trafficking, and more. He's now facing three sex abuse legal battles in two countries.

Tate and his brother were taken into custody in Romania, where they live. Prosecutors say the Tates and two associates formed an organized criminal group to groom and sexually traffic women in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Romania.

The indictment names seven women who say the Tate brothers recruited them with false promises, including love and marriage, but instead took them to buildings where they intimidated them, watched over them constantly, forcing them into debt and pornography.

Luigi Mangione has been indicted on first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism. He is also charged with two counts of murder in the second degree, with one of those counts also denoting Mangione murder of CEO Brian Thompson as an act of terrorism. Now the Federal government is seeking the death penalty.

Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty which marks the first such directive by the Trump administration. New York, where the murder occurred, has abolished the death penalty, and Mangione's lawyers are attempting to block the federal death penalty pursuit, arguing the move is a political stunt.

Police questioned Mangione's mom the day before he was captured. She told officers that the shooting 'might be something that she could see him doing.'
