Andrew Tate has bizarrely predicted that he will be shot after being released from house arrest.
The 36-year-old masculinity influencer and former boxer had been held in detention while police in Romania investigated allegations against Tate and his brother Tristan that included sexual assault, exploitation, organized crime, and human trafficking.
Tate and his brother were originally taken into custody on December 29, 2022, by Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT). The brothers were arrested with two women in connection with the same case. After being held for 30 days, the brothers had their time held in custody extended several times. Their appeals to be released had also been denied.
Despite the pair having been released from prison and placed on house arrest by Romanian officials, they are still under investigation.
Following Tate's release on house arrest, he has taken to social media several times to document his odd thoughts, including posting a video of himself pacing around his home while smoking a cigar. He even made a statement after his release where he claimed he'd done over 7,000 pushups while in prison.
"I have no resentment in my heart for the country of Romania, or for anybody else. I just believe in the truth. So I believe in God and I think that the fire of truth will eventually destroy all lies and anybody who lies in a long enough timeframe will feel the sting of regret. I truly believe that justice will be served in the end. There is 0 percent chance of me being found guilty of something I have not done," he said.
"I maintain my absolute innocent innocence. I think most people understand this and I look forward to being home, so thank you so much. When I was in jail, I did 7,417 push ups," Tate added.
Now, Tate seems to believe that he will be struck with a bullet once he's released. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I prepare my body to absorb the brutal kinetics of piercing lead. As all other silencing attempts fail, and stage 3 approaches - I anticipate a bullet will be the chosen utensil of pacification.
"I can only pray and prepare. I will force myself to breathe the best I can. I promise."
The tweet was in response to a previous post from December, in which he proclaimed to his followers: "If they kill me I love you all."
Despite his concerns for his safety, he's also taken to the social media platform to plug his 'Top G' merchandise, tweeting a link to his site with the comment: "My arrest and release are one of the largest events in cultural history. Now released, there will be two universes. Choose your side. It's good vs evil. Truth vs Lies."
As for the serious allegations against him, Tate has consistently denied them all and even argued that they were conjured up to silence him.
