Andrew Tate can freely depart from Romania, but not the EU

By 185 0

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are now allowed to leave Romania but must remain within the EU, according to a ruling by a Bucharest court. Previously prohibited from leaving Romania while awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, the brothers deny all allegations. This decision, which the court may appeal, is seen by the brothers as a “significant victory and major step forward” in their case.

Their lawyer, Eugene Vidineac, praised the ruling as a “reflection of the exemplary behaviour and assistance” of his clients. He stated that Andrew and Tristan are determined to clear their names and reputations and are thankful to the courts for their trust.

Andrew Tate, who was previously banned from social media platforms for misogynistic views, posted on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the “sham case is falling apart.” The Tate brothers, both former kickboxers and dual UK-US nationals, are accused of exploiting women through an adult content business that prosecutors allege operated as a criminal group. Alongside them, two female Romanian associates were also indicted, with seven alleged victims identified.

Andrew Tate insists that Romanian prosecutors lack evidence and asserts a conspiracy against him. The internet personalities are also wanted in the UK for alleged sexual offences. Over the past two years, the brothers faced movement restrictions, including police custody from December 2022 to April 2023, followed by house arrest until August, when they were placed under judicial control.

Depp and Heard’s marriage ended in “mutual abuse”

By 465 0

The couple engaged in “mutual abuse” during the final months of their stormy marriage, according to Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s former couples therapist.

On the third day of the $50 million (£38 million) defamation trial in Virginia, jurors were shown video testimony from Dr. Laurel Anderson. Mr. Depp has filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife for a story she wrote in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence. He denies any wrongdoing. Ms. Heard counterclaimed for $100 million.

Ms Anderson said she saw the famous couple for several therapy sessions between October and December 2015, according to testimony recorded in February and played for jurors on Thursday. After only 15 months of marriage, Ms Heard filed for divorce in May 2016. Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard had a tense relationship, according to the psychotherapist, with both threatening to walk out of sessions during arguments.

Ms Heard reported physical assault at the hands of her then-husband in sessions where Mr Depp was not present, Ms Anderson said. Ms Heard testified that she once came to her office with several small bruises on her face.

Ms Heard initiated violent interactions on several occasions in an attempt to keep Mr Depp from leaving, according to Ms Anderson. “It was a point of pride for her to initiate a fight if she felt disrespected,” Ms Anderson told jurors. “She would strike him to keep him there if he was going to leave her to de-escalate the fight; she would rather be in a fight than have him leave.”

Mr Depp’s therapy sessions were frequently interrupted by Ms Heard, according to Ms Anderson. “Ms Heard talked like a jackhammer,” the clinical psychologist said. “She was pumped up to the max. He struggled to speak at a similar rate. He was frequently cut off.”

Both Ms Heard and Mr Depp’s families have a history of domestic violence, according to Ms Anderson. Ms. Heard claimed that her father abused her, and Mr. Depp claimed that his mother abused him.

Mr Depp had been “well controlled” for decades before meeting Ms Heard, according to Ms Anderson, and had never harmed previous partners. “He was triggered by Ms Heard. They were abusing each other, in my opinion.”

Ms. Heard’s 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post, in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse,” is at issue in the trial. Mr. Depp claims that the article, which does not name him, is defamatory and has harmed his career.
