Emory Andrew Tate III (born 1 December 1986) is an American-British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. Tate began practising kickboxing in 2005 and won his first championship in 2009; he later became a four-time world champion. In 2016 he appeared on the British reality show Big Brother but was removed by Channel 5 as he was the suspect in an open rape investigation in the UK. After his kickboxing career, Tate and his brother, Tristan, began operating a webcam model business, followed by selling online courses; notably Hustler's University, which gained 100,000 subscribers, later rebranded to The Real World, and the secretive War Room group, which has been accused of grooming women into sex work and teaching violence against women.[3]

His controversial commentary has resulted in de-platforming from various social media platforms[4] and concern from advocacy groups, charities, non-profit organisations, teachers, parents, mental health experts, as well as UK counter-terror police. Surveys have found that most Britons have heard of Tate, who is viewed favourably among many young men, considered influential, and has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity" by multiple media outlets,[5] as part of the "manosphere".[6] With appearances on conspiracy news site InfoWars, Tate has been described as a right-wing and far-right influencer, and has described himself as "absolutely" misogynistic and sexist. In August 2023, it was estimated that Tate's online ventures generated US$5 million in revenue per month. As of December 2023, Tate had over 8.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and was the third-most "googled" person in 2023.

In December 2022, he and his brother Tristan were arrested in Romania along with two women, all four suspected of human trafficking and forming an organised crime group. Romanian police alleged that the group coerced victims into creating paid pornography in a criminal operation to financially benefit the four accused persons.[7] In March 2023, all four were moved to house arrest while the investigation continued, after being held in custody since their arrest.[8][9] In June, they were charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. Tate and his brother deny all charges.[10] In July, two of the accusers reportedly went into hiding after a campaign of online harassment,[11] and the Tate brothers filed a defamation lawsuit claiming US$5 million in damages against one of the accusers.[12]
