Bri Stern, Andrew Tate’s ex-girlfriend, spoke about her reaction to her allegations that media personality abused her during their relationship.
Stern posted a video on Instagram on April 15, about two weeks after Tate reportedly filed a sexual assault report claiming he attacked March 11 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She claimed that Tate began choking her while she was having sex, and refused to stop amid other allegations of violence. Stern uses her platform to tell her followers that she faced extreme backlash after making a statement against Tate, and says she wants to empower other women facing similar situations.

Stern said that after an online troll spoke to Tate, he wrote malicious comments on social media.
“Go to my X account and scroll through the reply. I got millions of comments from Andrew’s followers and assholes, calling me a liar, and I asked.
“So, I’ll let you know something – and be honest. Are you a sister worthy of it, your daughter, your mother, your best friend?”
She continued to claim that she was bullied not only by random accounts but also by influential people.
“And it’s not just a stranger. It’s influencers, creators, commentators. These people bought the images Andrew created, like I once did.
Stern said she didn’t go to Romania for love. She told viewers she was there to deal with a crypto project that she got caught up in by getting sour and scaming her followers. She said she “feels responsible” and “we were trying to fix it.”
“And Andrew, he had just launched his own coin. He was connected, he offered to help,” she said. “I thought I was there for business, not for relationships.”
“And for a while it all looked real. He was kind, supportive, charismatic, loving. He made me feel important, but it was a trap,” Stern said in the video. “The next one came was completely different. It was bait and switching. Manipulation, control, emotional abuse, isolation – and yes, physical violence. What makes this even more difficult is the number of people who protect it.
“I believed in the version of Andrew Tate that millions of other people believe. People who say he’s been attacked by the ‘Matrix’, billionaires, politicians, celebrities, celebrity surrounds themselves,” she said.

Stern addressed to people who said he was “judging” her about how she began dating Tate despite well-known claims about him.
“He’s very respected. He’s sitting at ringside with Dana White. He’s praised by Elon Musk, Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson. The US vice president is following him with X.
“He built an ecosystem – cult-like content, influence and loyalty attacks people who speak up.
She closed the video by defending her decision to speak out against Tate.
“And I won’t win fear, the truth will always win,” Stern said.
“I’m not doing this for fame, I’m not doing this because of sympathy. I’m doing this because someone else is watching this now and wondering if they deserve it too.”
“No one deserves to be abused,” she concluded.

“Look at the video, it’s ridiculous, it’s offensive, it’s a script, it’s a pathetic attempt to manipulate the masses.
“Bri Stern lied to the world when Andrew accused her of hurting her. Now she’s facing one of the worst proportions in internet history. That’s it,” McBride continued.
