Description:

Andrew Tate has developed a reputation as one of the most popular figures online. In one month last year, the former kickboxer was googled more than Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian, and Covid-19. 

But he is also known as one of the most controversial online personalities. He’s been kicked off nearly all social media platforms for his misogynistic views, and has been referred to as the “king of toxic masculinity”. 

Now, Tate has been arrested on charges that include human trafficking - reigniting a fierce debate about his views, and the influence he has over young men. 

Today social affairs editor for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald Jewel Topsfield joins digital foreign editor Chris Zappone to discuss why some young men idolise Andrew Tate, and the real-world consequences this reverence is having.
