Emory Andrew Tate III (born December 14, 1986) is a social media influencer and former professional kickboxer of American and British origin.
Following his kickboxing career, Tate transitioned to influencer marketing, which was marred by controversy due to allegedly misogynistic statements about topics such as sexual assault, which resulted in bans from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Tate is also the subject of a legal investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape.
Andrew Tate banned from Facebook, Instagram; here’s why
The former kickboxer rose to prominence in 2016 after being booted from the reality show Big Brother due to a video that appeared to show him assaulting a woman.
He went on to become well-known online, with Twitter banning him from saying that women should “bear responsibility” for sexual assault.
At the time his account was deleted, he had 4.7 million Instagram followers.
This figure had risen quickly from around one million followers in June.
Meta stated that the kickboxing star had been removed from its platforms for violating its policies on dangerous organisations and individuals, but provided no further details.
