'Cobra' confronted a relentless barrage of inquiries regarding multiple allegations, some of which are presently under investigation. As a consequence of these accusations, both Andrew and his brother Tristan were imprisoned in a Bucharest prison for a duration of three months.

The former kickboxing champion vehemently denied all the allegations leveled against him and delivered a fiery response, criticizing what he perceived as the BBC's use of "extremist rhetoric." Additionally, Andrew Tate went a step further, alleging a conspiracy between the mainstream media and what he referred to as "The Matrix" against him.
Tate remarked in a video uploaded on Twitter:
"I feel like doing a generalized statement to all legacy media inside of the matrix. I'll make it very clear that the legacy media, which I enjoy the company I have today, have made a massive mistake and the chance of doing some genuinely interesting journalism.
"After being unfairly incarcerated in a Romanian dungeon, I thought that even the BBC in it's absoulte arrogance would be smart enough to come to me after six months being a first interview I gave to the matrix. And be smart enough to ask questions that people were genuinely interested."
Andrew Tate added:
"I find that extremely dangerous rhetoric, I find it extremist rhetoric. I feel like now that these people have proved themselves to be extremists and very damaging to the minds of young men, I have an obligation they’re attempting to destroy my life."

Andrew Tate accuses the BBC of altering pre-determined questions throughout the interview
The anticipated interview between Andrew Tate and the BBC took an unexpected turn, deviating from the original expectations. During the interview, tensions between Tate and the interviewer escalated, resulting in constant disagreement and clashes of opinion.
Sensing a potential bias in the questioning, 'Cobra' took the initiative to record the entire interview using his own camera. Recently, he made the decision to release the full interview on his social media platform, accusing the British network of conducting a prejudiced and unfair interview against him. Tate remarked:
"They sent a list of questions in advance, which I did NOT ask for, as a measure of 'good faith' that they wanted to show 'the other side of Andrew Tate, and do a fair and balanced piece on the unspoken perspective'. They then sat down, threw all of this away and attacked me instantly, an ambush. A hit job attempt. They attempted to su*ker punch me. They failed."
