Andrew Tate 'choked me until I passed out', British woman claims

Warning: Contains strong language and refers to claims of sexual violence.

Another woman who alleges she was raped and assaulted by Andrew Tate has spoken to Newsnight.

Along with three other women, she's planning to sue the controversial social media personality for damages at the High Court in London for alleged sexual abuse between 2013 and 2016. Andrew Tate denies the claims.

30-year-old 'Evie’, not her real name, alleges she was raped by Tate after being choked by him. It happened, she claims, ten years ago - before he was famous.

Newsnight understands three people who know Evie, and say they remember her describing what had happened, have told her laywers they're prepared to give evidence in court to that effect.

Evie says she's speaking out because she didn't know that what she says he did, was an alleged crime, and she wants people to understand what 'consent' is.

A spokesperson for Andrew Tate has told us in response to the interview:

“Andrew vehemently denies these accusations and does not condone violence of any kind towards women. All sexual acts that Andrew has partaken in have been consensual and agreed upon before by both parties.

"He is saddened that a few opportunistic women who he has allegedly spent time with nearly a decade ago have decided to try and take advantage of his current situation. We will not be commenting any further on anyone’s alleged intention to pursue legal action unless such action is submitted to the authorities.”
