Andrew Tate news — Disgraced influencer shares bizarre tweet claiming he's been 'poisoned by the Matrix' | The Sun
ANDREW TATE claims he's been "poisoned by the Matrix" in a bizarre video which shows him with a swollen face and red skin on Twitter.
He told his followers that he only had coffee and water before the symptoms started showing and added that he isn't allergic to anything.
Tate said: "Face swollen, blood pressure is through the roof. Skin is on fire. Hard to breathe. Some sort of severe reaction or poison. Either an insect bite or some matrix attack insanity in his bottled water."
The disgraced influencer consistently speaks about his belief that everyone lives in a simulation and it's thought that he uses the term "Matrix" – a clear reference to the 1999 film – to describe the powers in politics, media and large organisations.
The misogynist is currently under house arrest until May 29 after he and his brother Tristan were released from prison over allegations of human trafficking and rape.
