He's currently incarcerated alongside his brother Tristan, but that hasn't stopped Andrew Tate from communicating with the masses. The controversial social media influencer is accused of running an organized crime ring related to human trafficking. Tate was arrested at his home in Romania after detectives claimed six women were being held against their will and forced to partake in pornographic videos.

The brothers have denied the accusations as the investigation presses forward. Additionally, millions in cars, cash, and jewelry were seized from their property. Andrew has reportedly sent a letter to his dedicated fanbase.

In the message, Tate comments on his living conditions, noting that his prison cell is "bugged." The New York Post also shared excerpts of Tate's email.

“They are trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell without light," he further wrote. “Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night."

“When the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful,” the self-proclaimed misogynist also said.
