Andrew Tate Claims He Has ‘No Contact With Outside World’ in Jail Despite X Account Sharing New Post
One day after Globe reported that Andrew Tate‘s alleged ties to Barron Trump had become an uncomfortable issue for some Republicans, the embattled influencer was back in the spotlight with a jailhouse post that quickly drew skepticism online.
Andrew, 39, posted to X on Thursday, July 23, describing brutal conditions behind bars.
“I am being held in SHU, the highest level of security which exists,” he wrote. “No commissary. No visits. No contact with the outside world. My neighbor is a cannibal who screams throughout the night.”
The former kickboxer rose to prominence through viral social media videos and podcasts, where his provocative commentary on masculinity, relationships and money has drawn both devoted followers and widespread criticism.
Andrew and his brother Tristan Tate, 38, were arrested Saturday, July 18, in Miami as British authorities seek their extradition on rape and sex trafficking charges.
Their attorney, Joseph McBride, has said, “We are of course objecting to extradition because Andrew and Tristan are innocent,” per the Associated Press. “They’ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they did not commit.”
But Andrew’s social media claim of total isolation didn’t sit well with commenters, who pointed out the obvious contradiction.
“‘No contact with the outside world’ posted live on X. High security Wi-Fi hits different,” one user wrote.
Another user wrote, “Anyone who’s been locked up and been to administrative segregation knows this dude is full of [expletive]. He’s most likely in a two man cell by himself. He gets 1hr a day to walk around inside the pod, make phone calls, take showers etc. He’s trying to appeal to your humanity.”
A third commenter was blunter still, writing, “Andy you should’ve thought of this before trafficking m!nors.”
Another simply wrote, “You deserve it,” while a separate user quipped that Andrew had gone “From ‘Top G’ to ‘Bottom G,'” referencing the nickname Andrew gave himself years ago.
Rather than drawing sympathy, his post appeared to fuel another wave of criticism online.
