Model Brianna Stern Alleges Abuse and Sues Andrew Tate
Brianna “Bri”Stern, a Los Angeles-based model, has initiated legal action against her former partner, Andrew Tate, accusing him of abuse and sexual assault. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, she took to social media platform X to publicly recount her experience.
Details of the Relationship with Andrew Tate
In her social media posts, Stern revealed that her relationship with Tate began in the summer of 2024 and lasted for nearly a year. She described him as her “best friend”and shared their intentions to cohabitate in both Romania and Miami as Tate transitioned to the United States.
“He was my best friend. I stood by his side unwaveringly. We made plans to live together, first in Romania, and then in Miami once he traveled to America,”Stern expressed.
Alarming Allegations and Text Messages
Stern provided screenshots of text messages allegedly exchanged with Tate, in which he expressed desires to harm her. One of the messages referred to her as “(his) property,”a statement that raised serious concerns about the nature of their relationship.
Describing her ordeal as “traumatic and extremely difficult,”Stern admitted that initially, she struggled to accept the reality of her situation, feeling compelled to remain silent. However, she ultimately felt the need to share her story.
Public Reaction and Criticisms
As Bri Stern’s revelations spread rapidly online, reactions from internet users varied. Some expressed disbelief regarding her comments, particularly in light of Tate’s known history as a self-proclaimed misogynist.
“pookie no i cry after he said he loves beating you. . HUH??”
Critics questioned why she would pursue a relationship with someone widely acknowledged as abusive, with one user sarcastically recalling Tate’s notoriety:
“im sry but she rly thought the convicted s*x trafficker who brags ab being abusive wasn’t gonna actually be abusive???”
Others reflected a mix of sympathy and skepticism, asking if she truly believed she would not encounter his troubling behavior given his known actions:
“i have sympathy for u but girl what were u doing dating andrew tate. known abuser, misogynist, S*X TRAFFICKER as recently as summer 2024…”
Violent Encounter Triggers Lawsuit
In her detailed accounts, Stern recounted a particularly violent incident that occurred on March 11 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She stated that her relationship with Tate began with intimacy but escalated into violence.
“Shut the f**k up, b*tch. You will never backtalk me. You are my property.”
According to Stern, this disturbing exchange escalated to physical threats and intimidation, with Tate allegedly threatening her life if she defied him. This prompted her to end their relationship, a decision she found profoundly challenging.
In the aftermath of the relationship, she shared images depicting her injuries and filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, detailing the violent sexual encounter. While initially refraining from legal recourse, she acted after Tate departed the U.S. for Romania amid existing charges against him, including sexual trafficking.
Legal Action and Support for Survivors
Stern’s lawsuit seeks accountability for sexual assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She explained her motivation for coming forward stems from a desire to support others in abusive situations, despite the potential backlash from Tate’s supporters.
In response to the allegations, Andrew Tate’s attorney, Joseph McBride, denied all allegations outlined in the lawsuit, indicating that they would pursue legal proceedings vigorously.
