Andrew Tate has claimed the conditions of his detention are "cruel and unusual", alleging the water available in his jail cell is making him ill.

The social media influencer made the claims in a series of posts over the weekend, alleging that the only water available in his cell comes from what he described as a "brown and filthy" shower tap.

Tate claimed he is not permitted to drink bottled water and is instead being "forced to drink poisoned water." He alleged the water is unclean and has caused him "persistent stomach problems."

The claims come after Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested earlier this month in Miami after US Marshals executed a UK extradition warrant seeking their return to Britain. The brothers are wanted in connection with charges including rape, sex trafficking and child pornography, which they deny.

Tate also claimed he is being held in a Special Housing Unit, alleging he has no access to the prison commissary, no phone calls and no time outside his cell. His lawyer, Joseph McBride, said a court hearing was scheduled for Monday and that the legal team would seek to address the brothers' detention conditions.

"We'll exhaust all appropriate measures at this time to ensure that Andrew and Tristan are well taken care of," McBride said. He added: "We are gravely concerned about Andrew and Tristan's physical, spiritual and psychological health in solitary confinement."

Meanwhile, the White House has ruled out any intervention in the brothers' legal case. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week that US President Donald Trump has no plans to intervene while Andrew and Tristan Tate await extradition proceedings to the UK.

Savannah Guthrie has released a heartbreaking new video plea nearly six months after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home.

Savannah posted the message to Instagram on July 27, directly addressing the kidnappers. "It has been months since our mom was taken from us. Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed," she said.

Joined in the search by her siblings Annie and Camron Guthrie, Savannah emphasized their determination: "We have done our part and we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts."

Turning her words toward those responsible, she pleaded: "The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way. So I'm asking you, begging you to do the right thing now. Make the right choice. Help us find her, tell us where to look for her. I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing."

Savannah concluded with one final appeal: "No matter where we've been or what we've done, I believe there is always a way home. Please make the right choice."

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was abducted on February 1. Doorbell footage released by the FBI showed a masked intruder entering her home, but no suspects have been identified. Investigators have also confirmed several ransom notes demanding millions in bitcoin, with threats that Nancy would be killed if deadlines were not met.

Despite the threats, Nancy has not been found, and the case remains unsolved. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department continue to investigate, with rewards for information raised to $1 million earlier this year.

Savannah, currently on hiatus from Today while filming NBC's upcoming Wordle game show, has vowed to keep speaking out until her mother is found.
