Andrew Tate has pleaded his innocence after being banned from Instagram and Facebook.
The controversial former kickboxing world champion turned social media star had his accounts removed earlier on Friday for what Meta, the parent company of the two sites, claimed was for violating its policies on dangerous organisations and individuals. But Tate, who has been linked with a boxing fight with either Jake or Logan Paul, hit back, claiming old videos have been taken out of context.
In a statement released to Mirror Fighting , Tate said: "It is very unfortunate that old videos of me, where I was playing a comedic character, have been taken out of context and amplified to the point where people believe absolutely false narratives about me. In the last two weeks I dedicated over $1million to charities supporting women. I posted this on Instagram, but Instagram ignored it."
