Controversial social media figure Andrew Tate will not face criminal prosecution over assault allegations made by model Brianna “Bri” Stern, following an incident she says took place in March at The Beverly Hills Hotel.
According to TMZ, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office informed Tate’s legal team that the case would not proceed due to insufficient evidence. Tate’s attorney, Joseph McBride, confirmed that his client had fully cooperated with investigators, participated in questioning, and submitted a “do-not-prosecute” packet to discourage formal charges.
The Allegations
The alleged incident occurred on March 11, when Stern claims Tate choked her during sex despite her clear pleas for him to stop. The 10-month relationship, which she initially described as “loving and supportive,” reportedly took a darker turn, culminating in what she alleges was a violent sexual assault.
Following the encounter, Stern filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing Tate of sexual battery and harassment. As part of the lawsuit, she included text messages allegedly sent by Tate, referencing violent and abusive sexual behavior.
One message reportedly read:
“I want to beat the fk out of you,”
while another stated:
“You will give me a child this year bch… What’s the point in having you if I don’t beat and impregnate you.”
Defense Response
Tate’s legal team strongly denied the accusations. McBride called them baseless and politically motivated, stating:
“Tate’s foes have weaponized courts globally to attack him. We’re grateful the evidence clearly showed his innocence, sparing him an unjust indictment.”
Despite the decision not to file criminal charges, Stern continues to pursue her civil lawsuit, seeking justice and accountability. She has also filed a police report and requested a restraining order.
Ongoing Legal Pressure
Stern claims to suffer lingering trauma from the alleged abuse, including a diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome. She submitted images of bruises and screenshots of texts in support of her case. She also says the harassment continued after she went public, receiving threats from Tate’s online supporters.
“I knew by coming forward that I was subjecting myself to danger. It’s terrifying. But I’m still here,” Stern told DailyMail.com.
The pair reportedly met during a content shoot in Romania, introduced through a mutual friend.
Tate’s Legal Troubles Continue
This is not Tate’s only brush with the law. The former kickboxing champion and his brother, Tristan Tate, are currently facing sex trafficking charges in Romania — charges they have both denied.
As for the U.S. case, while Tate has avoided a criminal indictment in California, the civil case is still active, and Stern claims other women have since reached out to her with similar stories.
Tate remains a polarizing online figure, with millions of followers and a reputation that continues to generate headlines worldwide.
