A video showing former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate punching a woman has gone viral in response to the recent social media ban controversy surrounding him with his ex-girlfriend seen asking him to beat her again
Tate appears to be beating his potential girlfriend in the footage at the time.
The video’s origin is unknown, however, it first appeared during Tate’s time on Britain’s Big Brother (UK) in 2016. As a result, he was kicked off the show a week after it became viral on social media.

The video’s recent re-emergence has drawn harsh criticism for the creator of Hustler’s University. Twitter user Maya (@mayaaliciaj) commented that it was “genuinely alarming” to witness the support Andrew Tate still receives amid a barrage of messages criticising him and his supporters.
What was the video about?
In the viral video, Tate ignored the woman’s pleas and continued slapping her while taking off his belt to humiliate her even more. In another section of the video, which the Daily Star was able to secure in 2016, Andrew Tate said: You f***ing p***y, you knew I was going to beat the f*** out of you. That’s right, lock the door. Would I still have to smack you if you had behaved better?
The video also demonstrated how Tate forced the blonde woman, his ex-girlfriend, to address the camera as follows: “My father strikes me. Since I am his w***e, I always follow his orders.
It is yet unknown if the assault against the man dubbed the “King of Toxic Masculinity” resulted in any legal consequences. At the time, Andrew Tate refuted the accusations but said a few incongruous things.
Tate denies the accusations.
Tate allegedly asserted at the time that the accusations against him were false. Other historical accounts indicate that he asserted the footage was manipulated. But he also asserted that the video was made with consent, saying: “We are role playing in a kinky sex video on this tape. In a longer version of the film, I can be seen smacking myself while laughing and stating. It doesn’t hurt. She and I are still friends, and we are currently both in the UK. I never would strike a woman.”
Social media fumes amid the circulation of the video.
Following the resurfacing of the attack footage, internet users have increased their support for Andrew Tate’s social media ban. Many social media users praised his recent social media ban from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube after the assault footage reappeared online. His supporters were further criticised in several messages for protecting him online.
However, considering Tate’s previous views about beating women and his repeated assertions that women are the property of men and are subject to them, many have speculated that the film may have been a role-play.
He is currently being looked into for people trafficking in Romania, where he said he decided to live due to the reportedly lenient laws against sexual assault. Therefore, the aforementioned behaviours do not present a favourable image of the personality, which is probably why a large number of internet users support his social media ban.
