Social media personality and alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate reached a new level of fame recently when the show South Park did an episode featuring an animated version of the former kickboxer. Now he’s speaking out about it.
The show highlighted Tate’s reputation as someone who promotes testosterone-fueled masculinity often identified as toxic. The “Tate” character on the show was named Alonzo Fineski, and he was there to “combat the messages that the liberal left is putting out to young men.”
Stan’s father Randy links up with Fineski and says “I’m trying to show my son and his nerdy little friend what a real party is, because society wants them to be ashamed of their masculine natures.”
While Tate is still in police custody in Romania over charges of rape, human trafficking, and taking part in a criminal organization, he said he wants to help make “the greatest South Park episode of all time.”
Not sure why he thinks he can just step into a comedic institution and make it better, but considering he’s been in prison and is still acting like a caricature, it’s not that surprising.
However, he might get his chance, because Tate and his brother are moving from prison to house arrest. A judge in Romania ruled that Tate doesn’t have to be in prison anymore, but must stay in the building where he lives and only leave with judicial permission.
The case against Tate involves alleged female victims who claim they were forced to make him more than $10,000, under threat of violence. The debts were used as “a form of psychological coercion,” according to court papers.
Whatever happens, Tate still has legions of young male fans who admire his hyper masculinity and misogynistic views toward women. We’ll keep you posted.
