“Created”

I don't believe that this app was created by Andrew Tate.

It's just language, they don't mean he sat down and coded it. He and his team hired someone to do it, just like his websites.

Would be interesting to see how the guy who claimed "he was too smart to read books" would learn programming.

Fuck that shitstain, I hope people demand refunds and he’s forced to pay.

The firm has also claimed that there is evidence to suggest that the app is an illegal pyramid scheme, with members being charged $49.99 a month to join.

I wish this was explained a little more.

Affiliate marketing is what they're doing under "Hustler's university". Probably the same thing.

Let’s all agree to call him “Andrew Hate” and maybe this shitshow can finish earlier than later.

I would prefer to not talk about him at all, but if there's any reason to discuss him I'd prefer to call him farthole taint. Or just farthole. Or .

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Last week, the Real World Portal app was removed from Google’s Play store after claims that it was an illegal pyramid scheme and encouraged misogyny.

Before the news that Apple had withdrawn the app, Matt Jury, the lawyer representing the women, said: “Andrew and [his brother] Tristan Tate manipulate their significant online following to promote subscriptions to Real World Portal.

He and Tristan were charged in June, along with two Romanian female suspects, with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

A spokesperson for Andrew Tate said: “We unequivocally deny the allegations that ‘The Real World’ app operates as a pyramid scheme or perpetuates harmful techniques aimed at exploiting any individuals, particularly women.

“Accusations suggesting otherwise are unfounded, lacking credible evidence, and seem to be part of a targeted campaign against Andrew Tate, a known supporter and promoter of the platform.

“The platform is designed as an educational tool that fosters healthy habit formation, financial literacy, and self-discipline, with thousands of lives positively impacted.
