Summary
Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania for the US after officials lifted their travel ban.
The brothers, arrested in 2022, face charges of rape, human trafficking, and money laundering but were granted temporary permission to travel.
Romania’s government denies US interference, though reports suggest Trump’s envoy discussed their case. The Tates, also wanted in the UK for past allegations, must return for a March court hearing.
Prosecutors accuse them of exploiting women through the “loverboy” method and profiting millions from forced pornography. Both deny all charges.
If it makes you any consolation, these people are absolutely miserable on the inside. I recently read a transcript of one of them speaking with an officer and I had to stop counting the amount of psychological red flags. They are suffering on the inside. I mean they need to be in jail too because their actions are affecting others too, but at least I can sleep at night knowing they’re fucking miserable.
I’d prefer them to be suffering on the outside as well.
Where can i read this transcription?
Could you elaborate? I too would also like to sleep at night.
I’ll try and find the transcript when I get home from work, but it went something like this:
Investigator: Could you explain why there are allegations of abuse coming from your workers?
Tate: Oh they’re just saying all that stuff because they’re jealous of me (textbook case of projection; i.e. he is an incredibly jealous person, and so views the actions of others through his own lens; he has a very weak “frame of mind” if you will)
I remember it was full of stuff like this. Jealousy, envy, projection, playing the victim (at multiple points he literally expressed himself as the one who is being victimized by this whole situation), overcompensation, defensiveness…I mean you name it and it was there. You could take a psychology course in just this one interview with the investigator and you could learn quite a bit.
Edit: I should say too that I really struggle to have empathy for those who take their own suffering and promulgate it among those around them (the Tate’s for example). It demonstrates incredibly weak and poor character, and in my opinion (and with working with many, MANY people like this), it is almost impossible for them to get help. They almost never recognize themselves at fault (since they have a superiority complex), and so are incapable of taking that first step towards getting the necessary psychological support needed.
If they don’t want help, fine. Shove these types of people away from society so they don’t make it other people’s problems. They can fester in their own suffering for all I care, as long as it’s far away from others.
I don’t think it’s unfair to have those kinds of feelings towards incredibly toxic people. The first step to treating mental illness is being aware of the issue. Good luck getting a malignantly narcissistic pieces of shit like the Tate brothers to be aware of anything except their bank accounts.
