Tristan Tate tweeted that he would hit his children to discipline them

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Tristan Tate, following in the footsteps of his controversial brother Andrew, once again found himself at the center of a controversy. His recent remark regarding physically disciplining children has sparked outrage among social media users. This isn't the first time Tate has ruffled feathers, as he previously made divisive statements about both genders. Despite facing criticism, Tate remained unfazed, showing no hesitation in expressing his unfiltered views.

Notwithstanding the controversy surrounding him, Tate boasts a devoted global following. His supporters, known for their unabashed honesty, never shy away from sharing their own candid opinions. Whether one agrees or disagrees with his controversial statements, it is undeniable that he has managed to maintain a strong and dedicated fan base, just like his brother.

'Put me in jail I don’t care'

Tate's remark on disciplining children through physical means ignited a debate, leaving the online community divided. With an active presence on his official Twitter handle, Tate fearlessly engages with his ardent followers, unafraid to express his unfiltered opinions. In a recent exchange, a curious Twitter user raised the question of resorting to physical punishment for instilling discipline, specifically in the UK. The user wrote, "Just a question, who still thinks hitting your children works in the UK?"

To this, Tate replied, "Me. Put me in jail I don’t care. I’ll hit my kids." 

'You just left jail bro'

While a considerable number of individuals in the comments section expressed their disagreement with the contentious celebrity's viewpoint on resorting to physical force for disciplining children, it was indeed surprising to witness many finding common ground with his perspective. One user wrote, "You just left jail bro." Another user wrote, "Hitting your kids in order to discipline them should be legal." A third stated, "Hitting works for immediate compliance. It is not an ideal long-term behavioural solution. If dogs can be trained without being beaten, then so can humans."
