Female teachers have spoken out about how young boys are being influenced by controversial social media star Andrew Tate.

The self-proclaimed champion of ‘misogyny’ and ‘toxic masculinity’ presents himself as an advocate for a self-reliant, ‘alpha’ mindset to his legions of followers.

He is currently facing criminal charges in Romania, including organised crime, human trafficking and rape – but the ex-kickboxer turned influencer remains hugely popular across the globe.

Now, teachers in Australia are concerned about the growing number of young men idolising him.

Grace (not her real name) told the ABC’s 7.30 program on Tuesday that she heard one of her students at the Sunshine Coast school where she was teaching in 2022 speaking about how much they ‘love’ Tate.
