Andrew and Tristan Tate Face U.S. Lawsuit Alleging Human Trafficking and Witness Intimidation

An American woman accuses the Tate brothers of luring her to Romania under false pretenses and harassing her after cooperating with authorities.

Jane Doe, a 23-year-old American woman, filed a lawsuit in Florida accusing Andrew and Tristan Tate of coercing her into sex work and defaming her after her testimony to Romanian authorities.
The lawsuit alleges that Tristan Tate lured her to Romania under the guise of a romantic relationship, where she was subjected to controlling behavior and manipulation.
The brothers previously sued Doe for defamation in 2023, which her legal team claims was an attempt to intimidate her into recanting her testimony in an ongoing Romanian criminal case.
The Tate brothers, who are facing multiple criminal investigations in Romania and the UK, deny all allegations, stating there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
This marks the first U.S. lawsuit against the Tate brothers, with Doe seeking damages, legal fees, and a court order to prevent further contact or defamation.
