Andrew Tate has shot a Coronation Street star and called him a ‘pu**y’ after apologizing for ‘liking’ the misogynistic influencer’s posts on Twitter.
Adam Hussain, who is best known for his role as Aadi Alahan in the ITV soap, apologized earlier this week, saying he was ‘not aware’ of Tate’s controversial background as he ‘liked’ some posts.
He added that he would never “endorse” such views in a statement released after his interaction with the posts on the social media platform was reported.
But Tate – who has more than six million followers – hit back on Friday. He posted a screenshot of a Digital Spy article about Hussain’s apology and wrote, “Pu**y.”
In his typically bizarre style, the 36-year-old added in a follow-up tweet: “I teach men how to get filthy rich. You can be an actor, but they still have you by the balls.

Tate – who has more than six million followers – hit back on Friday. He posted a screenshot of a Digital Spy article about Hussain’s apology and wrote, “Pu**y.”
“He agrees with me, but back off like an ickle pu**ybowy or he’ll be FIRED. Money is ULTRA important to escape the slave spirit.’ He then posted a link to his website.
Tate, a former kickboxer, has been accused of spreading misogynistic “rape culture” content to an audience as young as 13 on TikTok and other social media. In one instance, Tate spoke of attacking a woman if she ever accused him of cheating.
He is also currently under investigation in Romania, along with his brother Tristan, on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and exploitation of women. He was released from prison in March but remains under house arrest pending further investigation.
Hussain said he apologized for not realizing Tate’s background when he first clicked “Like” (usually used by people to show their appreciation for a Tweet).
“I am truly sorry if my ‘liking’ these tweets has offended our viewers and my colleagues,” he wrote.
According to The sunwho first reported on Hussain’s interaction, the Corrie actor interacted with the disgraced influencer and his brother on an almost daily basis.
The publication said it liked a “staggering” number of posts from Tate.
One of Tate’s posts that initially liked Hussain, the influencer, writes, “The Truth Will Prevail.” Another said: ’30 more days of house arrest. Suppressed for another 30 days. I haven’t had a day off this year. The battle rages against Shaitan.”
Another saw Tate write, “Any man who is afraid of fighting professionally shouldn’t be discussing the mindset on the timeline. [sic].’

Tate has shared with his followers his belief that he is the target of some form of global conspiracy to keep him and other like-minded people in check.
He often refers to a conspiracy involving the concept of ‘The Matrix’ as a global conspiracy trying to control the world. He introduces himself as someone who will help people get out of this ‘control’.
He has even suggested he will be killed as part of this global plot, claiming in a series of deleted tweets on Thursday that he was poisoned.
There is no evidence that such a conspiracy exists.
The Tate brothers are still awaiting word on whether Romanian prosecutors will take their case to court.
According to Romanian law, prosecutors have brought charges against the four suspects, but the case is under investigation and has not come to trial.
Andrew, Tristan and two Romanian female suspects are under house arrest pending a criminal investigation for suspected human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, allegations they have denied.
The Tates, Georgiana Naghel and Luana Radu were detained by police from December 29 to March 31 when a Bucharest court placed them under house arrest. Prosecutors have until June to take the case to court.
On Monday, DIICOT’s organized crime prosecution unit in Romania informed Tristan Tate that an additional charge of incitement to violence has been brought to his name, DIICOT spokesperson Ramona Bolla told Reuters.
Romanian prosecutors announced the additional charges on Tuesday.
According to Romanian media, the charges are related to an alleged incident in which Naghel hurt another woman in 2021. Gandul.
Naghel reportedly forced an alleged victim to raise her right hand when she knew the woman had recently undergone breast augmentation surgery and such a move would be painful.
After that, Naghel allegedly told Tristan what had happened and he laughed.

Former police officer Luana Radu (left) and Georgiana Naghel (right) are suspected of aiding the Tate brothers in the crimes for which they are being investigated. The new charge against Tristan is believed to be related to an alleged incident involving Tristan’s associate Naghel inflicting pain on another woman in 2021.
But Tristan’s spokesperson questioned how the influencer incited the violence when the alleged incident happened before he became aware of it.
Tristan denies any allegations. On Twitter, he said prosecutors were fabricating new charges without evidence.
Their spokesman added that the alleged incident was presented to the police at the time, but they rejected it and did not investigate further.
The DIICOT spokesperson, meanwhile, said prosecutors are also investigating allegations of money laundering, but have not filed any related charges.
