Andrew Tate being questioned over his debatable takes on women

Andrew Tate's views have always incited divided opinions within the internet community. The 35-year-old was finally confronted on national television over his opinions by none other than Piers Morgan, who himself has had his fair share of debatable takes. Reacting to statements regarding women being "properties" in marriage, the latter said:

"I've been married twice, as it turns out, and on both occasions, I didn't believe that the woman was being handed to me as a chattel or as property"

To this, Andrew responded by stating that the question was asked in a "loaded" way which prompted him to respond like that. He further commented:

"The way I would say things before I was famous, I have to take personal responsibility and accept that if I make a video that 500 people see and 1% misunderstand it, that's not a problem..."

Andrew had also stated that his sister was her husband's property. When asked to justify this statement, he said:

"She took his last name. She married him, she wanted to join his family, she has said it herself...she's still a soverign individual."

He further alluded to the Bible and Quran explicating women as the "property." While trying to navigate his statement with a political undertone, Piers asked him to be direct and speak for himself. To that, Andrew Tate said:

"I understand that with my new-found fame, perhaps it could be phrased differently."

He went on to imply that his views were not malicious, but the fact that he was asked in a derivative way meant his response appeared to be "misogynist."
