Andrew Tate complains about the conditions in his cell, saying it is crawling with “cockroaches, lice and bedbugs”.
The former kickboxer, who was arrested last month on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized crime group to exploit women, also complains that his cell also “has no light.”
His message of complaint about his prison conditions came after the Romanian court ruled that he must remain in jail for another month.
The 36-year-old sent the plaintive message to followers of his website, titled ‘My first email since imprisonment’.
He added that he would continue to send rambling emails, which the self-proclaimed misogynist called his “daily lessons in wrongful imprisonment.”

Tate complained: ‘They’re trying to break me. Thrown inside a cell with no light.
Cockroaches, lice and bed bugs are my only friends at night.
‘When the guards bring me into the courtroom and bring me back, I remain absolutely respectful. They try to pour hate into my heart.
Tate also mentions the prison guards on multiple occasions, stating that they “know I’m innocent” and are “only doing their job” because they “have families to feed”.
Tate’s Twitter feed has continued to be published, although it is unclear if the tweets are from him or one of his representatives.
He recently tweeted that he can now receive mail and encouraged his followers to email him.
Tate also continued his complaints on Twitter, tweeting: “In the dark silence of solitary confinement there is almost no noise. Pray for me, I can hear you.
He also stated: ‘the great revolutionaries of each generation suffer unjust imprisonment’.

Tate, along with his younger brother Tristan and two Romanian women, Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel, was arrested last month and was held in custody for 30 days. They deny having done wrong.
He is accused of recruiting dozens of women and holding them under house arrest ‘as prisoners’ while forcing them to create online pornographic content on webcams.
Romanian prosecutors allege Tate recruited the women on social media platforms and then lured them to his compound in Bucharest by falsely professing his love for and intention to marry them.
Romanian authorities seized 15 luxury cars from the Tate villa on the outskirts of the capital, as well as 14 designer watches and cash worth an estimated 3.6 million euros (£3.17 million).
The British-American citizen currently has 4.4 million followers on Twitter, having previously been banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.

Since then, the Bucharest court extended his detention until February 27.
Tate was furious at the decision, telling his lawyers that he “is being arrested for a crime of opinion.”
Constantin Ioan Gliga, one of the defense lawyers, told the Romanian media outlet Gandul: “We continue to maintain that practically at this moment the Tate brothers are being arrested for a crime of opinion, for what they said, at some point, on the internet. “. environment and not because of what they actually did in their private life.’
Gliga added that the decision was “unjustified and totally exaggerated.”
The judge’s ruling came after the four – Tate, Tristan, Luana Radu and Georgiana Naghel – lost an appeal earlier this month in a Bucharest court, which ruled to uphold the judge’s Dec. 30 decision to uphold a previous decision to extend his arrest from 24 hours to 30 days.
