Andrew Tate is suing Meta and TikTok for kicking him off their social media platforms back in 2022, alleging they are damaging his reputation.
According to the lawsuit, Tate is suing for “emotional distress, business interference, and misappropriation.”
“This case arises from Defendant, TikTok, Inc.’s unlawful and politically motivated decision to deplatform Plaintiffs Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate—two internationally known entrepreneurs, commentators, and media personalities—from the TikTok social media platform,” the filing reads. “At the time, the Plaintiffs collectively commanded an audience of tens of millions, generated significant revenue through lawful online enterprises, and were among the most visible public figures on TikTok’s platform.”
Andrew and his brother, Tristan Tate, were both charged with human trafficking by Romanian authorities. Andrew is also charged with rape. In May, the brothers also faced rape charges in the United Kingdom.
They deny all charges against them.

On X, formerly Twitter, Andrew claimed he has assigned $400 million “To battle Google, Meta, TikTok”; “Every single girl who lied about me”; “The BBC, all mainstream media across Australia, UK, and US”; and “Every Twitter account that defamed me.”
He added of the legal battle, “It’s good vs evil and I will lose my entire fortune in this fight.”
In his lawsuit, the Tates accuse Meta and TikTok of trying to “silence” him.
“TikTok’s removal of the Plaintiffs was not an isolated enforcement action grounded in neutral application of its Terms of Use, rather, it was the culmination of a coordinated campaign to suppress, silence, and destroy the reputations and livelihoods of two controversial but [law abiding] men,” the lawsuit continues.
The brothers are suing each platform for $50 million.
