Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist and former professional kickboxer, has sparked widespread outrage after making crude remarks about pop star and actress Ariana Grande. Social media users have condemned his comments as "gross" and "disgusting," with many questioning why such remarks are tolerated online.
Tate, 38, who is facing serious criminal charges in Romania alongside his brother Tristan, took to X to share offensive comments about Grande's appearance. "I'm sorry Ariana Grande you're too skinny and I would no longer f**k you. Access denied," he wrote. In a follow-up comment under a photo of the Wicked actress, he further insulted her, stating she "looks like a crack h*e."
Fans immediately called out Tate for his remarks. One user responded, "Why do men think it's ok to comment on women's bodies?" Another wrote, "This is the most disrespectful and disgusting tweet I've seen today. How the f**k are people like this still on this app? Absolutely ridiculous." Others mocked Tate's self-importance, with one commenting, "Imagine thinking you had the access to deny in the first place. Ariana Grande wasn't at the door, mate, she was on a private jet flying over it."
Tate later doubled down on his remarks, sarcastically stating, "I've decided not to pursue a relationship with Ariana at this moment in time, I hope she understands." His comments come at a time when Grande's recent public appearances have already sparked concern about her health, with fans debating her noticeably slimmer figure.
Meanwhile, Tate remains embroiled in legal battles. He and his brother were arrested in Romania in 2022 on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organized crime group to exploit women.
They have denied all charges. The brothers have also been linked to efforts from individuals within Donald Trump's inner circle, allegedly advocating for the Romanian authorities to lift their travel restrictions. Romanian foreign minister Emil Hurezeanu confirmed that U.S. envoy Richard Grenell had raised the case with him, though he denied that this amounted to political pressure.
Despite these controversies, Tate continues to gain traction on social media, with his X following growing from 9.7 million to 10.7 million in recent months. However, many critics argue that his influence fuels toxic online spaces, and calls for social media platforms to take action against him continue to rise.
