Andrew Tate's rise from kickboxing champion to one of the internet's most recognisable influencers has been shadowed by years of serious allegations. Now, a lengthy investigation published by The New Yorker has set out new detail on claims that the self-described misogynist built his multimillion-pound empire by exploiting women, including allegations of rape, coercion and trafficking that he has repeatedly denied.
