Andrew Tate and his brother were arrested last month during a raid carried out by the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism at the controversial internet figure's place of residence in Bucharest, Romania.

The internet personality is currently in police custody on separate charges of human trafficking, rape, and conspiracy to form a criminal group.

The 36-year-old remains in custody as he awaits further legal processes. However, it seems Tate has found a defender in another controversial public figure.

Candace Owens, a polarizing political commentator and activist, recently shared her opinions on Andrew Tate and claimed she does not subscribe to the notion that Tate is guilty. Speaking on her show, Owens stated:

"I do not believe that Andrew Tate is a rapist. I don't. I think that is what people like to accuse men of when they're trying to take them down..."

Owen's comments could be perceived as shockingly ignorant by many, considering the recent developments in Tate's case.

Joe Rogan shares his opinion on Andrew Tate and his message

Joe Rogan is not someone who's afraid to speak his mind. The popular comedian often gives his unbiased take on a wide variety of issues on his globally famous podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).

News of Tate getting arrested in Romania went viral on social media and was a hot topic of discussion among users. Considering Tate's massive online presence and his extreme rhetoric on social issues, it is not surprising that Joe Rogan shared his opinions on the controversial figure.

On episode #1920 of JRE with Dave Portnoy, Rogan shared his thoughts on the message that Tate presented:

"I don't know him [Andrew Tate]. If I did know him, I would tell him all the boastful s**t [that he does] and the s**t about him being the 'Top G' and all that stuff - all that s**t's great, but the misogynistic stuff - like, if you have daughters or if you have a wife or if you have sisters, you don't want that. That narrative, putting that out there, that's negative - to everybody. It's not even positive to him."
