'Andrew Tate grabbed me by the throat during sex until I passed out': Marketing executive says she was haunted by the influencer's face when he became a Big Brother star
A marketing executive has claimed Andrew Tate strangled her during sex until she passed out and then threatened to kill her.
The 30-year-old from east London met the controversial social media personality in 2014, when he was a doorman at a nightclub and she was a student.
She is the latest British woman to join a planned lawsuit against the American-born influencer, along with three others who say they were victims of sexual assault by Tate between 2013 and 2016, when he lived in Britain.
In a Channel 4 documentary, released tomorrow, the marketing executive shared her story of losing consciousness after Tate 'choked' her during consensual sex.
The former kickboxing champion, along with his brother Tristan, are currently banned from leaving Romania after being accused of human trafficking – which they deny.
Tate also denies allegations of rape and forming a criminal gang to exploit women.

The woman said in the documentary: 'He grabbed me by the neck, he choked me so hard that I couldn't breathe and he forced himself on me again, for the second time.'
The sun reported that in the documentary she says: 'I completely lost consciousness after he choked me during sex.
'When I came to, he was still having sex with me. I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I completely lost consciousness.
'He must have known I had gone soft. I was so confused when I woke up. I forgot who I was, who he was and where I was.
“He said he was going to kill me, he said he was my property and that I belonged to him.”
Speaking to the newspaper, she said she fancied a “quiet drink” when she first met Tate and was introduced to him.
The now 30-year-old said she was “flattered” at the time and that he had not expressed any of the “horrible opinions” he is now known for.
That night they had consensual sex and he called her a taxi in the morning in what she described as a 'normal one night stand'.

Finally, after a few months of texting, Tate came over to her house and they had sex again.
But the marketing manager said that this time something had 'switched' and he had a 'manic look' in his eyes.
He left in the morning, but the woman claims he said if he got a parking ticket he would return to kill her.
Tate sent her one message, but she never saw him again after that night, she said.
In the years that followed, she said she continued to see Tate 'everywhere', seeing him on Big Brother, on TikTok, and he went viral during lockdown.
He gained millions of followers – mostly young men – and many platforms banned his accounts.
This made her decide to stop using social media, but his name often came up in everyday conversations.
The alleged victim described hearing someone defend Tate in casual conversations and having to “bite my tongue.”
Tate has previously dismissed the allegations against him, insisting he “did nothing wrong” and telling reporters he would “absolutely be exonerated.”
Prosecutors alleged that as many as seven female victims were taken to Romania, where they were intimidated, surveilled and forced to participate in pornography. According to a statement from Romanian prosecutors, one defendant raped an alleged victim twice in March last year.
DIICOT alleges that Tate, his brother Tristan and two Romanian women – Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel – formed a criminal group in 2021 “to commit the crime of human trafficking” in Romania as well as in the United States and Britain.
A spokesperson for Andrew and Tristan Tate told The Sun: 'Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The brothers categorically deny that they have engaged in any form of intimidation of witnesses or anyone else. Any intimate encounters the brothers have had with their respective partners have always been consensual and they strongly deny any allegations.
“They find the descriptions given shocking and disturbing because they do not reflect their actions or character.”
