Sophie Dianne explores Andrew Tate’s controversial views on faith, masculinity, and women’s roles—particularly in light of a recent podcast with adult performer Bonnie Blue.
Andrew Tate has become infamous around the world for being a self-proclaimed misogynist. He rose to fame as a contestant on Big Brother but was quickly removed, after a video emerged, which showed him assaulting a woman. Despite this, Tate is adamant that he is always “acting under the instruction of God, to do good things.”
In October 2022, Tate publicly stated he had converted to Islam, calling it “the last true religion.” However, in an investigation conducted by The News Movement, a video was found where Tate stated, “when I’m in Dubai I’m Muslim, when I’m in Romania, Orthodox Christian.”

Shortly after, Tate started a discussion with Muslim men about the ‘Red Pill’ ideology. This idea revolves around themes of traditional masculinity, wealth accumulation and the perceived failings of modern society, to provide men with what they need, to be successful. It has caused a stir in Islamic circles.
This summer, Tate appeared on the Disruptor Podcast, condemning any woman who chooses Christianity. The series, hosted by entrepreneur Rob Moore, features conversations with influential and often controversial figures. In a June episode, the businessman brought two polarising figures together, for a raw conversation. Moore’s aim was to cause a heated debate, questioning whether men have lost their power and asking if feminism has ruined society. Bonnie Blue, an English porn star, who made headline news after sleeping with 1,000 men in 24 hours, was featured to capture the female perspective.

At the outset, I felt nervous for Bonnie Blue, as I expected her to be baited by Andrew Tate. As it turned out, her opinions complimented Tate’s. What did bother me, however, was his attitude towards Jesus. Tate said: “I don’t want you to start busting out a cross and talking about God in about five years. I don’t want any of that crap and saying, ‘my past doesn’t matter because I’ve been born again.’ Please don’t do that. I want you until the end, in the old people’s home. I want you to do it until the end. Stay real about your choices.” Here, Tate is effectively being Satan’s mouthpiece, forbidding women from transforming their lives and condemning them to death.
Going further, Tate suggested that individuals only seek God to purge responsibility for the things they have done, believing that Christian women are fools to the supposedly ‘false doctrine’ we live under. It’s worth noting, that the only woman he said he would marry, is a submissive virgin, who he could control.

I would suggest, the only ideology Tate truly supports is his own, and religion is just another game he is playing, to abuse or manipulate women. He is adept at using social media to amass a following of like-minded men, which scares me. Tates harmful rhetoric has the potential to bend people to his will and cause detrimental harm to women, sincerely looking to follow Christ.
So if you have read this far, will you join me in praying for both Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue? That God would open their eyes to his goodness and power, and they would give their lives to Jesus, the lover of their souls. Amen
