Andrew Tate Says He Thinks Epstein Island Happened Because Elites Weren’t Allowed To Cheat More

In a new video, Tate declared that the real reason Jeffrey Epstein’s island even existed wasn’t power, blackmail, or a network of elite predators—it was because Western men are too “sexually repressed” by monogamy.

Here’s the full quote: "But if you're a man who's stuck with a woman and you don't even get along with each other and it's a show marriage and you have to be together and you argue all the time, you're sexually repressed, and you're being promised in secret that you can go to an island and finally be pleasured and satisfied—no one's ever gonna find out. That's how you end up on the island."

"So this whole monogamy garbage that's being pushed by the West, especially amongst our elites, is the reason we have the biggest problem with pedophilia," he continued. "And they don’t have this problem in South America because they all have girlfriends. They don't have this problem in Russia because they all have girlfriends. The Thai elites don't have this problem. They all have girlfriends. But here in the West, we're saying, 'Nope, you just stick with your wife, only her, be happy with her.' What if you don’t get along?"

Let’s unpack this mess.

First, Tate is seriously trying to argue that Epstein’s crimes—literal child sex trafficking—were just the natural consequence of men being denied mistresses. In his mind, the solution to elite depravity isn’t accountability or a moral compass—it’s to let powerful men openly cheat so they don’t become so repressed that they resort to horrifying criminal behavior.

Second, his claim that Russia, South America, and Thailand somehow don’t have problems with sexual exploitation because married men have girlfriends is...far-fetched. These regions have some of the highest rates of human trafficking and sex tourism in the world. The idea that letting wealthy men openly date multiple women magically prevents abuse is not only false but downright dangerous.

Tate’s argument is just another thinly veiled excuse to push the idea that men should never be held accountable for their actions. According to him, the real problem isn’t men abusing power—it’s society telling them they should be loyal to their wives.

And here’s where conservatives who have propped up Tate need to take a hard look in the mirror. You can’t call for the Epstein list to be released, rage against illegal immigrants who commit sexual violence—and rightly so—but then you turn around and support men like Andrew Tate—men who excuse, justify, or outright encourage a culture of male exploitation over women and children.

If Tate’s warped vision of morality—one where men are owed unlimited access to women—becomes the norm, don’t be surprised when those same men stop drawing the line at consenting adults. Because history, including the crimes of Epstein and his associates, has already proven what happens when these men believe they are above consequences.
