What happened between Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson? Here's why psychologist labeled misogynistic influencer 'lowest form of life'

Jordan Peterson called Andrew Tate a pimp while reacting to a clip from Top G's interview with Tucker Carlson

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: The emergence of a Twitter video shedding light on the grave charges against Andrew Tate, a contentious figure in the realm of social media influencers, prompted strong condemnation from clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. In a public statement, Peterson characterized Tate as the "lowest form of life," expressing his profound disapproval of the alleged actions brought to light in the video.

Tate's legal woes have taken a troubling turn since he and his brother Tristan, both former kickboxers, were arrested in December 2022. The charges they now face are deeply serious, including allegations of rape and human trafficking. Moreover, disturbing accusations have surfaced indicating their involvement in a criminal operation that targeted and exploited vulnerable women.

'Pimps are the lowest form of life'

The Twitter account @alessabocchi shared a video posted by Twitter user @MilkBarTV that claimed that Tate lied about the charges against him during his interview with former Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson.

Bocchi tweeted, "Andrew Tate is accused of sexually exploitating, emotionally manipulating, pimping, raping, and beating women. Much of which he admitted on the montage below. The webcam s*x business is how the Tate brothers built their massive wealth. That is what *they* said. Tucker Carlson, a supposedly traditional family man, left Tate off the hook. Even elevated him. So do many conservatives online who constantly degrade and berate women for being “whores” and “materialistic”. Total hypocrisy." The tweet caught the attention of Canadian psychologist and political commentator Peterson, who responded by strongly condemning Tate and even referring to him as a "pimp".

Peterson wrote, "Pimps Electronic and otherwise Are the lowest form of life."

Peterson and Tate's relationship has been marked by tension and intense public scrutiny. A viral video that circulated in June 2023 captured Peterson criticizing Tate's webcam business and expressing his strong disapproval of pimps in general. Besides, rumors have linked Tate to Peterson's daughter, the intriguing Mikhaila Peterson. Their paths intertwined during their ascent to fame, eventually amassing significant individual followings. In a compelling twist, Mikhaila herself revealed the tale of meeting Tate on her podcast, recounting a memorable night they shared in Romania back in 2018. Despite Tate's outright denial of any involvement, Mikhaila opted to keep the details of their relationship veiled in mystery.

'Didn’t he pimp your daughter?'

Following Peterson's pointed tweet, netizens poked fun at him by referring to Mikhaila's alleged entanglement with Tate. A user wrote, "Your daughter seems to like them though." Another said, "You should have him on your podcast, sir." Someone else stated, "Didn’t he pimp your daughter?" A user commented, "Isn’t that your daughter chilling with @Cobratate- if he’s how you describe him what does that say about your daughter and you as a dad? Did he traffic her too? Surely he must have. Even if she says he didn’t because apparently adult women lack agency and consent."
