Lauren Southern, a former alt-right YouTuber and influencer, alleges in her forthcoming memoir that she was sexually assaulted by manosphere influencer Andrew Tate.

In an excerpt from the book This Is Not Real Life, which she published on Substack, Southern alleges she met Tate in 2018, when she was invited to Romania, along with the far-right conspiracy theorist Tommy Robinson and two other travel companions, to discuss the possibility an investment in a media network with Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan. At the time, Southern did not know who they were and had simply been told they were “wealthy crypto investors in Eastern Europe.” According to Southern, when the Tates met them at the airport, Andrew was “flirtatious” yet polite, and it immediately became clear that the Tates were interested in meeting only to discuss launching what she describes as “a crypto pump-and-dump scheme.”

After the meeting, which Southern says was unproductive, she and her team returned to her hotel room, at which point the Tates allegedly messaged her, inviting her back to their compound outside Bucharest to speak further. Despite her reservations, she says, she agreed and then the brothers called for a car to take them to a nearby nightclub, promising her their friends would meet up with them later. At the club, she alleges, she had a vodka-soda and a shot before becoming severely intoxicated and vomiting. She says Andrew then carried her into his sports car and took her back to her hotel room, where he allegedly climbed into bed beside her and kissed her before sexually assaulting her.

“He put his arm around my neck and began strangling me unconscious,” Southern writes. “I tried to fight back. He repeatedly strangled me every time I regained enough consciousness to pull at his arms. I’d prefer not to share the rest. It’s pretty obvious.”
