Controversial influencer Tristan Tate has tweeted about Margot Robbie and her role as Barbie in the movie based on the doll. Tristan, the brother of Andrew Tate, has asked people to post photos of their wives or girlfriends if they think Robbie is not attractive enough to play Barbie.

He tweeted, “I want everybody who says Margot Robbie isn’t attractive enough to play barbie to post photos of their wives/girlfriends.

However, fans were not fond of how Tristan attacked people personally to defend Margot. One fan wrote, “These tates are proper weirdos.”

Barbie is set to release in theaters on July 21, 2023. However, Margot was not the first choice of the movie that has been in the making for years. Amy Schumer was first cast as Barbie but due to scheduling issues, she backed out. It was later reported that Anne Hathaway would take up the role but it was Australian actress Margot who finally earned the role.
Andrew and Tristan Tate were charged with human trafficking in June 2023
In June 2023, authorities in Romania said that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been indicted on charges of r**e and human trafficking. They have been charged alongside two female Romanian citizens.
The brothers were arrested in December and have been under house arrest since. DIICOT, Romania’s anti-terrorism organization, alleged in a statement that the brothers created a criminal group “in order to commit the crime of human trafficking on the territory of Romania, but also in other countries, such as the United States of America and Great Britain.”

According to People, the release added that the crime group misled seven victims with “the intention to establish a marriage/cohabitation relationship and the existence of real feelings of love.”
In response to the charges, the Tate brothers’ spokesperson defended them. They said, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They said that the indictment “allows us to present a comprehensive body of evidence, diligently collected and prepared over time, which will undoubtedly substantiate the brothers’ claims of innocence.”
The controversial influencer brothers, who have also been professional athletes, are also facing other charges including money laundering and trafficking of minors.
