Emory Andrew Tate III is an American and British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. His controversial commentary has resulted in his expulsion from various social media platforms and concern that he promotes misogynist views to his audience. As a divisive influencer, Tate has amassed 9.9 million followers on X and was the third-most googled person in 2023, with most British adults aware of who he is. He has been dubbed the "king of toxic masculinity", as part of the manosphere, is described as both right-wing and far-right, and has called himself a misogynist. As of August 2024, Tate is facing five legal investigations—three criminal and two civil—in Romania and the United Kingdom.
