One of Andrew Tate’s girlfriends has accused the self-proclaimed misogynist of choking her so hard during rough sex inside the Beverly Hills Hotel that she later alerted authorities, according to a report.
Bri Stern alleged to Beverly Hills police that the sexual assault took place two weeks ago and that she nearly passed out from the violent encounter, TMZ reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of the incident.
Tate, who is facing human trafficking charges in Romania, allegedly started choking Stern during sex on March 11, but when she told him to stop as it got rougher, he ignored her pleas, the outlet reported.
As she continued to struggle, Tate allegedly became more violent and Stern nearly lost consciousness, TMZ reported.
The alleged attack only stopped after the sex was over.
After Tate fell asleep, she went to the bathroom and took photos of her injuries, according to TMZ, which obtained photos showing the bruising on the side of her face.
Stern went to a New York City hospital two days later after flying to the Big Apple for work and was diagnosed as “post-concussive,” according to another photo obtained by the outlet.
She said she only filed a police report after Tate and his brother Tristian left the country for a check-in with authorities in Romania that is tied to their criminal case, according to the outlet.
The check-in with police at the European country’s capital complied with a judicial control requirement in their case.
The Tate brothers were arrested in 2022 and indicted last year on charges that they took part in a criminal ring that lured women to Romania, where they were allegedly sexually exploited. Andrew Tate is also facing rape charges.
But both siblings have denied all charges and have not been convicted of any crimes.
“I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything,” Andrew Tate said outside the police station in Voluntari.
He also vowed to “comply with all judicial authorities everywhere around the world because I’m completely innocent.”
