BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Malin Andersson recently recalled her first meeting with Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate during an interview. She stated that there was always something 'off' about the controversial brothers, whom she encountered more than once on evenings out during her teenage years at a Bedford under-18s night.
Malin Andersson is well-known as a reality star. Andersson, a 30-year-old makeup artist, gained fame through her participation in the second series of the reality show 'Love Island.' During her time on the show, she was paired with both Rykard Jenkins and Terry Walsh.
'They were really strange, so very unapproachable'
Andersson recently spoke with The Sun and shared details about her meeting with the Tate brothers. She said, "I first met them during my pageant days, about 17 years old. Me and my best friend, we used to go out to what they call 'nappy nightclubs'. It is for under 18s. We bumped into them there, Andrew and Tristan. I would speak to Tristan and she would be speaking to Andrew."
She went on to describe how Andrew and Tristan attempted to impress her and her friend, saying, "They would constantly be trying to buy us drinks and they were really strange, so very unapproachable. They were very cocksure."
"You could tell they had arrogance although Tristan was very sweet at that time. Tristan was always the sweeter brother when he was younger. I think Andrew had quite a big influence on his brother. We used to hang out at these bars because they’d always go and bring a different car, a nice car. I remember a Porsche."
'They said something quite nasty'
Andrew gained popularity after making misogynistic remarks and engaging in hate speech on the 'Big Brother' show in 2016. As a result, he has been banned from numerous social media platforms. Andersson expressed her opinion on this, stating, “In school, they were geeks. I don’t think they had many friends so I think they’ve really tried to transform their persona because I think they lacked that when they were younger."
Andersson recounted a disrespectful encounter with the Tate brothers, which resulted in her and her friend taking a taxi ride home. She stated, “They said something quite nasty, I can't remember what. It was something really rude to me and to me and her. It might have been to do with our appearance or something along the lines. We just made our own way home in a taxi.”
At 30 years old, Andersson expressed her dismay at the numerous women who have come forward, claiming to be victims of physical or emotional abuse perpetrated by Tate. She finds it alarming that some of Tate's fans perceive him as a hero, creating a troubling world where people admire him.
Andersson also took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the brothers, tweeting: "Finally! I knew these guys personally from my teen years. Nasty piece of work: some victims have come forward and some have been to scared. I now hope they find strength to!"
Andersson holds the belief that the Tates have inflicted significant harm upon the younger generation, conditioning them to be mentally fragile. Her personal experiences with her ex-boyfriend and the Tates have left her feeling disturbed and deeply concerned about the mental well-being of the younger generation.
