Bri Stern Files Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Andrew Tate
In a significant legal development, Bri Stern, a model and Andrew Tate’s girlfriend, has initiated a lawsuit accusing the controversial influencer of sexual assault. Reports from TMZ, dated March 26, 2025, reveal that Stern chose to file her claim after the Tate brothers departed the United States for Romania.
According to the allegations detailed by Stern, Andrew Tate allegedly choked her to the point of near-unconsciousness during an intimate encounter on March 11 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Stern asserts that Tate only ceased this behavior once he was satisfied. Subsequently, she reportedly left the room to document the incident.
Seeking medical attention, Stern visited an emergency room in New York City where medical professionals diagnosed her with “post-concussive” symptoms. Alongside her claims, photos of her alleged bruises surfaced and circulated on social media platforms, further amplifying the incident’s visibility.
Background on the Couple
Reports indicate that Bri Stern and Andrew Tate first crossed paths in June 2024 during her modeling assignment in Romania, where they quickly began a romantic relationship.
Tate Responds to Allegations Amid Ongoing Legal Troubles
Following the filing of the lawsuit, Andrew Tate addressed the media outside a police station in Bucharest. According to an ABC News report from March 24, the Tate brothers returned to Romania on March 22 and were seen checking in with local authorities shortly thereafter. During this interaction, Tate emphasized his lack of conviction, asserting his willingness to cooperate with judicial investigations worldwide:
“I’m a free person who has not been convicted of anything. [I will] comply with all judicial authorities everywhere around the world because I’m completely innocent.”

Ongoing Legal Issues
As per the ongoing investigations, both Tate brothers are facing serious charges that include human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering, among other allegations. During his press interactions, Andrew Tate criticized media outlets for their coverage of these accusations, describing the reports as “garbage.” He emphasized that the validity of accusations does not equate to guilt, stating:
“It doesn’t matter what you’re accused of, it matters what you are proven guilty to have done in a fair court of law. Accusations mean nothing. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat an accusation on the news. That is garbage.”
Remarks on Politics and Public Perception
Tate also referenced recent comments made by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who publicly announced his disapproval of the Tate brothers’ presence in Florida shortly before their visit to the U.S. In response, Tate claimed to have spoken with DeSantis, insisting that any misunderstanding regarding his American citizenship has since been resolved. He remarked:
“The media jumped on him and he didn’t realize I was an American citizen, and now he understands he made a mistake… there’ve been some conversations and everything has been settled.”
As the situation unfolds, Andrew Tate has yet to publicly address Bri Stern’s allegations at the time of this writing, leaving many awaiting further developments in both legal matters and the ongoing discourse surrounding his public persona.
