Andrew Tate Responds to Lauren Southern Accusation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Andrew Tate accused Lauren Southern of seeking attention to boost sales of her new book after she released a chapter of her memoir in which she alleged that the influencer sexually assaulted her when she was intoxicated at a hotel in 2018. Southern, who rose to prominence as an alt-right influencer, is the latest in a string of women to accuse Tate, who is under investigation by authorities in the U.S. and Europe for alleged rape and human trafficking. Tate denies all the allegations. "Chooses the chapter about me to release 'for free' to get attention so she can sell her memoirs of promiscuity," Tate said in a post on X replying directly to Southern, on Wednesday, July 16. "Coincidence I'm sure. I'm glad you admit you're a drug addict in this post, that might explain why you forgot about all the txts you sent begging to see me again." In a reply to another user on X, Tate wrote: "Was 10 years ago. Needs book sales I guess." He also said he would "release the txts of her begging for money for her 'company' and begging to see me again." Southern gave an account of a business meeting with Tate in Romania and a night out with him, which ended with the two of them back in her hotel room after others she was with on the trip—including far-right activist Tommy Robinson—did not arrive to meet them. "This wasn't a case of mixed signals or intoxicated blurred lines. I fought back. I was pleading. I just didn't realize there was a point of no return, a moment where my voice would no longer have any power," Southern wrote in the chapter of This Is Not Real Life, published on her Substack on Tuesday, July 15. "I'd rather not give a detailed account, so I'll keep it simple. He carried me back to the hotel room and asked me to sleep beside him. I said yes. I was incredibly intoxicated, and some part of me convinced myself that because he was Tommy's friend he wasn't particularly dangerous. It was a poor decision, but it happened. "He kissed me. I wasn't expecting it, and I wasn't looking for it, but I kissed him back briefly and then told him I wanted to sleep. I was extraordinarily tired. He wanted to go further. "I said no, very clearly, multiple times, and tried to pull his hands off me. He put his arm around my neck and began strangling me unconscious. 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." At the top of the post, Southern wrote: "If you're here just to read about Tate or think this is some kind of selling point, please don't buy the book. You won't find anything more significant about him in its pages beyond what's already here for free." This is a developing article. Updates to follow.

What did Andrew Tate do? Influencer accused of choking, sexual assault by alt-right YouTuber Lauren Southern
(Image via @cobratate & @Lauren_Southern/X) Andrew Tate is back in the headlines, this time, not for his usual controversies, but for a deeply serious accusation. Former alt-right figure and political commentator Lauren Southern has accused the internet personality of sexual assault in a newly released chapter from her upcoming book. The revelation has sent shockwaves through social media and reignited scrutiny around Tate's ongoing legal issues. Lauren Southern accuses Andrew Tate of sexual assault in latest book chapter On July 15, 2025, Lauren Southern shared an emotional and detailed account of her alleged experience with Andrew Tate. The disclosure came via her Substack post, where she published free chapters from her upcoming memoir This Is Not Real Life . In Chapter 11, titled Confessions , Southern recounted a disturbing night where, according to her, Tate carried her back to a hotel room while she was heavily intoxicated. — Awk20000 (@Awk20000) She alleged that what began as an unwanted kiss escalated into repeated instances of strangulation and sexual assault, despite her clearly saying 'no' multiple times. 'I tried to fight back. He repeatedly strangled me every time I regained enough consciousness to pull at his arms,' Southern wrote. 'You better not tell the press,' Southern claims Tate warned The chapter doesn't just recount what allegedly happened that night; it also describes the moments that followed. Southern claims that Tate warned her not to speak to the media. As she describes it, while hastily packing her bags to leave the hotel room, the former kickboxer allegedly said she 'better not tell the press' about what had occurred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Never Put Eggs In The Refrigerator. Here's Why... Car Novels Undo Southern responded by reminding him of her public stance against feminism, a stance she now views as having helped suppress her own trauma for years. Southern says she was in denial until more evidence surfaced Though the incident described took place years ago, Southern says she kept silent for a long time. In her Substack post, she admits to having initially denied to herself that anything was wrong, in part, because of her ideological alignment and personal image at the time. Over time, however, that denial began to break. As more media coverage and court records surfaced about Tate's alleged involvement in grooming and sex trafficking, Southern says her "comfortable state of denial" became impossible to maintain. 'At least when I met him, I had no idea,' she wrote, referring to the multiple allegations and charges currently levied against Tate. Neither Andrew Tate nor his legal team has responded publicly to the allegations at the time of writing. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Young woman, 20, paralysed after horror balcony fall on dream holiday
A young woman has broken her back after falling from a second-floor balcony at her hotel in the Greek island of Rhodes. Holly Seaford travelled to the island for a holiday with her partner last week before she fell from the high balcony in a freak accident in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday, July 9. The 20-year-old, from Ystrad Mynach in Wales, fractured four vertebrae and is unable to move in hospital while medics struggle to treat her, reports Wales Online. Doctors have told her boyfriend Tate Crees, who is with her in Rhodes, that it will be two months before Holly can move again. Tate said: "She is lying flat in a hospital bed in a back brace unable to move or walk. Doctors have told us it'll be at least six to eight weeks before she can start to regain mobility. This is going to be a very difficult process." Holly's sister Briony said the family can't afford to get Holly back to Wales themselves and have asked for support to fundraise for her repatriation. She said: "She's in a lot of pain and is bedbound. The last I heard they'd given her paracetamol. They can't effectively look after her there." The couple were due to fly back from Rhodes on the day Holly fell from the balcony. Tate said: "Although the medical care in Greece is good, the hospital sadly doesn't have any nursing support available. "This means Holly is without help for even the most basic daily needs, which is having a serious impact on her wellbeing. "We are desperate to get her home to the UK where she can receive the professional nursing care and rehabilitation she urgently requires. "But medical repatriation is incredibly expensive, especially as the only way Holly can fly home is on a stretcher. She requires a specialist medical flight with trained staff to monitor her throughout the journey and unfortunately this isn't covered by insurance." As of Sunday morning, nearly £7,000 (approximately €8,000) of the £10,000 target had already been raised to support Holly and her family. You can see the fundraiser here.

Forest dept. unveils eco-revival plan for Bhigwan wetland
While the Bhigwan wetland – known for its vibrant avian life including seasonal visits by migratory species such as flamingos, herons and migratory ducks – has attracted thousands of birdwatchers and wildlife photographers over the years, this 'Bharatpur of Maharashtra' is now on the cusp of a major ecological and tourism-focused transformation. Recently on July 7, the forest department has presented to the Pune district collector an ambitious eco-restoration plan for Bhigwan aimed at long-term conservation plus sustainable tourism. These interventions are designed to attract species such as herons, egrets, and other waders. (HT) The plan revolves around improving the habitat for migratory and resident birds while ensuring the ecological integrity of the wetland system. Among the key measures included are installation of bamboo perching poles and floating platforms across water bodies to provide essential resting and feeding spots for visiting birds; and construction of earthen mounds within the wetland as also installation of raised nesting shelves along the embankments to further support nesting and breeding. These interventions are designed to attract species such as herons, egrets, and other waders. The proposal also highlights the importance of reintroducing native vegetation wherein local wetland-friendly grass species such as Vetiver, Typha and Saccharum will be planted along the bunds to stabilise soil, improve water retention, and enhance habitat structure. Furthermore, invasive species such as water hyacinth and Prosopis Juliflora that have disrupted the natural biodiversity of the wetland in recent years will be removed. Additionally, efforts will be made to restock the waters with small native fish species—an essential part of the wetland's food chain supporting both birdlife and aquatic health. As far as improving the overall visitor experience goes, the plan includes the development of eco-sensitive tourism infrastructure. Watch towers, interpretation boards, and shelters will be installed at strategic observation points whereas a Nature interpretation centre will help educate tourists about the ecological importance of Bhigwan. Basic tourist amenities such as toilets and changing rooms are also part of the proposal, aimed at making the eco-tourism site more family-friendly. According to Mangesh Tate, assistant conservator of forests, Pune, the most vital aspect of the plan is the active involvement of the local community. By training and equipping local youth, farmers, and fishermen as birding guides, the project aims to build a grassroots' network of conservation stewards. This integration of community and conservation, Tate believes, will ensure Bhigwan's sustainable future both as a sanctuary and as a model for eco-tourism.

He is said to have been drinking on the rented boat before falling and cutting himself. The Brit was taken to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma. Elsewhere, another in the Netherlands. Advertisement Ben Roberts, 24, suffered a fractured skull when he fell His mother Kerry said: "I can't describe our loss, we are heartbroken. "As Ben's mum, part of me died the day he did." What to do if you're injured on holiday No one sets off on holiday expecting to be injured, but it's vital to be aware of what to do if accidents happen. If you booked a package holiday, then your tour operator or organiser should have measures in place to help you if you fall ill or are injured. But if you book your own travel and accommodation, it's especially vital to have travel insurance in place. Uninsured travellers can end up facing vast medical and repatriation expenses if the worst happens. The most comprehensive travel insurance plans can help cover medical emergencies and sometimes support in returning home if needed. Citizens Advice website says: "It's particularly important to take out travel insurance if you are travelling independently because you may find yourself stranded with no way to get home and no-one to help sort out your holiday problem."
