Andrew Tate's victims were forced to perform on TikTok and OnlyFans pages he controlled, legal documents say
- Andrew Tate forced his victims to perform on OnlyFans pages he controlled, court documents say.
- Georgiana Naghe and Luana Radu were said to run accounts for six women on Tate's behalf.
Andrew Tate's victims had their TikTok and OnlyFans accounts controlled by two of his female confidants who threatened to beat them, according to new legal documents out of Romania.
In documents from a prosecutor's file, seen and described by Reuters, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu are named as being in charge of the accounts on behalf of Tate and his brother Tristan.
The documents described a bleak world in which the women made pornography for Tate under duress, and Naghel and Radu threatened to beat the women if they did not comply.
Per Reuters, the documents said Naghel and Radu took half the money the accounts generated, and also fined the women if they were late or sniffled on camera.
Both women denied the allegations against them, per Reuters, as did the Tates, who have issued broad statements previously asserting their innocence.
The document in Reuters' report went into the most detail yet about how Tate is alleged to have operated. It accused him and the others of making their money from OnlyFans, despite efforts by the site to keep Tate off of it.
The group face allegations of using the "loverboy method" — a common tactic used in human trafficking cases where women are manipulated into thinking the perpetrator has genuine feelings for them.
According to the document, the alleged victims' OnlyFans accounts made tens of thousands of euros.
It said the victims all had TikTok accounts which would drive traffic to their OnlyFans pages.
Insider and other media reports have not identified any of the accounts in question.
OnlyFans spokesperson Sue Beeby told Reuters that Tate had never had his own account or been paid directly by the site. Its statement did not rule out the kind of activity alleged by the Romanian prosecutors, which took place via intermediaries.
Tate's own statements about his business may present a huge legal challenge for him. In old public video footage, Tate has willingly described his tactics in recruiting women, and came close to endorsing rape.
On his website, which no longer exists but screenshots of which have been widely shared, Tate wrote that 50% of his employees were his girlfriend at one time and "none were in the adult entertainment industry before they met me."
"My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she's quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she'd do anything I say, and then get her on webcam so we could become rich together," it reads.
Tate has also been very open about his webcam business, claiming on the Fresh & Fit podcast last year that he was earning $600,000 a month from 75 female webcam models.
While giving his viewers tips on how to start their own webcam businesses, Tate also bragged about how to keep women under control. He said men who wish to be a business owner had to be having sex with all the women they employed.
"You cannot sit and do a purely professional business relationship with a female, it doesn't work," Tate said. "If you're not fucking the girl, she is fucking someone else. And that other person she's fucking is going have the control over her mind as opposed to you."
Tate went on to say he would look for girls on social media, and was "ruthless" in sending DMs, and slept with "four or five girls" per week.
