Lauren Southern alleys sexual assault by Andrew Tate in Memoir

Lauren Southern, the Canadian YouTuber who was once a rising star on the far right thanks to his anti-immigrant and anti-feminist opinions, but later withdrew from the scene, allegedly allegedly allegedly. It’s not real life That she was sexually assaulted by the misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate in 2018, when she was 22 years old.

The accusation, detailed in extracts from Southern shared on his replacement page on Tuesday, adds to an already long list of allegations of rape and trafficking in human beings against Tate and his brother Tristan, some of whom resulted in criminal proceedings. The couple managed to block an indictment in Romania, where they live, to go to trial, but are currently faced with a more in -depth investigation by the country’s authorities. Once these procedures are completed, they will face criminal accusations in the United Kingdom which include trafficking in human beings and rape. The brothers deny all the accusations against them. Tates lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comments on the statements that Southern made in his book. Tate himself has not publicly recognized the new allegations.

In the chapters published on his substitution, Southern describes while traveling from the United Kingdom with the British Islamophobic activist Tommy Robinson in Romania around February 2018 to meet the Tates and their team on an alleged opportunity to launch a new right-wing media company with the investment of the brothers and sisters. Nerous about their lack of preparation for a field – and because, as she alleys, Robinson was strongly altered by cocaine that he managed to bring in the plane – Southern remembers having been surprised by the tates, which she did not know at the time, when they presented themselves at Bucharest airport. “Two strongly dressed men have looked at polished sports cars,” she wrote, saying that they “stood out like painful thumbs against the backdrop of the washed off Balkans”.

Andrew led the south to a dinner for both in a steakhouse, she claims, and was excessively complementary to his work, “flirtatious” and even somewhat “charming”. She notes that they “really got along” during these conversations, but finally, she adds, things started to feel “disabled”. Later, she, Robinson, and their video team were taken to the Tates complex, which Southern describes as a building which “seemed to have been designed by edited reddit mods and animated nerds of Mary Kondo Fanatics”, with an imposing statue of samurai for their computer sculptures and a small army of “Crypto Bros” IT. “It almost seemed that the brothers were the muscles and the drivers, while the guys of cryptography were doing real work,” she writes.

Southern says that the meeting on a new potential media company with the Tates and their main Crypto partner was a full bust, despite its efforts to refocus the conversation and compensate for Robinson’s erratic behavior. The group returned to their hotel convinced that they had blown it, but the tates then sent a message to what they wanted to speak more with Southern. She returned to the enclosure, where she claims thatrew asked for a photo with her and posed with a wrapped hand around her size “as if we have been going out for years.” Instead of discussing business, she alleges that the brothers took her to a neighboring nightclub, assuring her that they would also send cars to bring Robinson and the other members of their crew – but that his traveling companions have never arrived. Southern alleys that she had a cocktail and an alcohol plan before feeling drunk and having someone transporting her in a bathroom, where she vomited. At one point, she said, Andrew transported her to a car, pushed her back to his hotel, then transported her to his room.

There, according to Southern, Tate asked her to sleep next to him on the bed, to which she accepted-while “incredibly poisoned”, she adds. “He kissed me. I did not expect it, and I was not looking for him, but I kissed him briefly and I told him that I wanted to sleep. I was extraordinarily tired. He wanted to go further. I said no, very clearly, several times, and I tried to remove my hands. complaints. “I would prefer not to share the rest. It’s quite obvious.”

“This was not a case of mixed signals or blurred lines in intoxication,” writes Southern. “I fought. I begged. I just didn’t know that there was a point of return, a moment when my voice would no longer have power. ” Years later, she read a Vice News Report on the way in which Tate was arrested for suspicion of rape in the United Kingdom in 2015, an alleged victim saying to the point of sale that Tate had strangled him several times and that she had seen him suffocated other women some 10 times. Southern found this statement of repeated asphyxiations in accordance with his own story.

In the aftermath of the alleged assault, explains Southern, she tried to minimize the incident, in part because she thought that her anti-feminist brand prevented her from presenting himself as a victim. “I would not have believed in another woman who made these exact affirmations,” she admits. Tate, she says, warned him before returning to the United Kingdom so as not to go to the press on what had happened. Southern maintains that she contacted the police in the United Kingdom, but that it was told that an investigation could only continue in Romania, where she thought that the police had “paid”. She also went to the female hospital to obtain a report on the assault presumed about a week later. But she stayed in touch with Tate, who, she said, continued to send “veiled threats” before finally apologizing in a way.

The following year, Southern announced his “retirement” of activism, indicating that she wanted to draw her attention to the academic world and relationships in person. Then, the troll on the far right Milo Yiannopoulos published an article striking her, saying that Southern had been a “secret left” and sexually manipulated men named in order to advance her career as a political commentator. Southern claims that she quickly learned that Tate said to her private online networks that he was one of the sources of Yiannopoulos’ room, and joking that he had never intended to finance the media project that she and Robinson had tried to present to Bucharest, writing in a group cat message: “Do pimps give money to girls? Southern claims that she later realized that Tate had sent her a message on social networks a year before they were presented, and she had incorporated with him like another fan, but she had not connected the points when they found themselves face to face. She wondered if Robinson was on a configuration to make her available in Tate. “Was I tampered with?” She writes. “What is that?”

While Tate became famous as “High G” by distributing toxic advice on masculinity to young men, Southern says that she found herself disappointed with the right movement that she had supported with its heavily xenophobic content, seeing how he kept women at an impossible level while men were delighted with hypocrisy. “”[Y]You get the endless monologues of self -proclaimed “Truters of Truth” by insisting that men are supposed Sleep while women must remain chaste, as if it were not completely antithetic for the conservative, religious and family values that the space generally claims to defend, ”she observes.

However, Southern concludes: “I don’t hate Andrew.” She expresses the conviction that he could still change as a person, writing: “I hope he will become the soul he could have been, instead of that consumed by his vices. Whether behind bars or free. But I don’t think he even realizes that he was consumed. Like so many things in his position, he probably never lets himself be widening so deep because there is too much pain waiting there. ”
